The book is Kerouac's sutra on Buddhist philosophy, in which he describes a \"Golden Eternity\" that is paradoxically everything and nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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 work and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jack Kerouac\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1684222869\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781684222865\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Martino Fine Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/11\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 24\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.06d","brand":"Jack Kerouac","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44044623741183,"sku":"9781684222865","price":5.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9fd7d908-6f3a-452c-baf9-eff2baff2ed5.jpg?v=1684973919","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-scripture-of-the-golden-jack-kerouac-9781684222865","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
