The Scripture of the Golden Eternity
- The Scripture of the Golden Eternity
The Scripture of the Golden Eternity by Jack Kerouac is a book of 66 prose poems which was first published in 1960 by Corinth Books, New York. The book is Kerouac’s sutra on Buddhist philosophy in which he describes a "Golden Eternity" that is paradoxically everything and nothing. [The Scripture of the Golden Eternity by Jack Kerouac ISBN-10: 0872862917 ISBN-13: 978-0872862913 ]
The 66 prose poems or "meditations" deal mainly with the nature of consciousness and the impermanence of existence. The main influence is buddhism but the use of the word scripture in the title alludes to Kerouac's catholic upbringing and influences, evident in this and also in his other works.
