There have been many opinions on the reason for its origin from sa wa fa. The most frequently cited in Western dictionnaries suggests the Arabic word "suf" meaning "wool" in the sense of "cloak", referring to the simple cloaks the original Sufis wore. Some initiates are given a specially designed, colored wool vest which is symbolic of the woolen robes of poverty worn by ancient dervishes, and signifies the loving commitment of the dervish to serve humanity. The Sufis use letters of words to express hidden meanings, and so the word could also be understood as "enlightenment". According to some the word is derived from safa which means purity. According to another view it is derived from the Arabic verb safwe which means "those who are selected" - a meaning quoted frequently in Sufi literature.

23. Sufi Order International - Toronto, Canada A comprehensive introduction to the sufi Order International in Canada, with information on their philosophy, practices and activities in Toronto. http://sufiorder.toronto.on.ca/

Introduction - Home The Sufi Order International is an esoteric school which provides a setting in which real spiritual experience is possible. We encourage awakening in life, and we work towards a balanced and grounded spirituality. We also encourage an attitude of affirmation of the common ideals of all religious faiths. We do not require an acceptance of any specific religious beliefs, nor do we seek to convert anyone from one faith to another. We feel that real development can only take place if people work with what is meaningful for them, and that a deepening of one's spiritual experience is essential to informed belief. We try to create a safe environment where people will feel free to be spiritually open. Because of this need, we discourage discussions or debates on religious opinions or theology. Instead we attempt to focus any discussion on the experiences which result from spiritual practice. Our hope for our students is that they will find deeper meaning in their own religious beliefs through the experiences gained in our school, and that they will develop an enhanced tolerance towards religious beliefs other than their own. The Sufi Order was founded by Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan (1882 - 1927) and, until his death, was led by his son

S ufism is a way to God through love... a general definition of Sufism is: Sufism is a path towards the Truth where there are no provisions except Love. Its method is to look solely in one direction, and its objective is God. The sufi is one who moves towards the Truth by means of love and devotion. Since only one who is perfect is capable of realizing the Truth, sufis strive their utmost for perfection. Perfection in this sense means being in harmony with the Divine Nature, which is the goal of the sufi path.

38. The Sufi Conference An annual conference in the US, open to sufis of all lineages. Includes program, and reporting of previous conferences.. http://www.suficonference.org/

Home Video Library Audio Library Presenters ... Past Conferences THE SUFI CONFERENCE The idea for the Sufi Conferences was conceived one summer evening in 1999 at Sufi Books in New York. We felt a need to share this mysticism of love, and to create a space where people could experience the different forms of Sufism. The joy, intoxicating love and power experienced in the first two conferences in 2001 resonated with this need. Something was born, a container of love for different Sufi orders to come together. Since 2001 we have held eight Sufi Conferences, the final gathering being held in October 2008 at Asilomar Conference Grounds, California. In his closing talk Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee spoke of the deeper purpose of these gatherings. This coming together of different Sufi tariqas and fellow wayfarers has been a celebration of the love and oneness that belongs to this path of love. But there has also been a deeper, more hidden purpose. Although outwardly there have been eight different conferences, from an inner, spiritual perspective there had been one single Sufi Conference that has changed outer location and form over the years, but remained the same gathering. At the first gathering a symbolic dervish tent was erected, a sacred space where these different traditions and lovers of God could come together in service to the One and the need of the time. This tent was moved across America a number of times, and different presenters and participants came under this tent, to remember God through
