Meister Eckhart was born in 1260.

Meister Eckhart died in 1327.

Ernst Soudek has written:

'Meister Eckhart'

Without reading further, I will just attribute this to John of the Cross, Jacob Bohme and Meister Eckhart.

It depends on who you ask. When doing a search on the internet for the pronunciation of 'Eckhart Tolle', you will find some that say that his last name is pronounced, 'TALL' (the opposite of SHORT), or you may hear his last name pronounced as 'Tall-e' (same as above but with an 'E' sound on the end). The truth is, his first name is not 'Eckhart' at all, but 'Ulrich Leonard Tolle'. He changed his first name to Eckhart to honor the German philosopher, Meister Eckhart.
