Book excerpt: Don't miss His Holiness the Dalai Lama's classic book, The Art of Happiness, or his newest, The Book of Joy, named one of Oprah's Favorite Things. In a difficult, uncertain time, it takes a person of great courage, such as the Dalai Lama, to give us hope. Regardless of the violence and cynicism we see on television and read about in the news, there is an argument to be made for basic human goodness. The number of people who spend their lives engaged in violence and dishonesty is tiny compared to the vast majority who would wish others only well. According to the Dalai Lama, our survival has depended and will continue to depend on our basic goodness. Ethics for the New Millennium presents a moral system based on universal rather than religious principles. Its ultimate goal is happiness for every individual, irrespective of religious beliefs. Though he himself a practicing Buddhist, the Dalai Lama's teachings and the moral compass that guides him can lead each and every one of us—Muslim, Christian, Jew, Buddhist, or atheist—to a happier, more fulfilling life.

Book Synopsis What Do You Think? by : Stephen Fowler
Download or read book What Do You Think? written by Stephen Fowler and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-05-02 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You don't have to search very long in our world to find someone who will tell you that heaven is real or on the other hand that the notion of a creative force for the universe is an elaborate hoax. But where is the absolute proof to support either conclusion? Whether you count yourself as an atheist or a fundamentalist, this book will challenge your beliefs. What do you believe? Why do you believe it? Can your belief system stand up to self-evident scientific discoveries? If you are a believer, do you worship? Do you pray? If so, how and why? How does your faith or lack of it play into your day to day behavior? These are questions that many of us are uncomfortable to think about, much less discuss with others. The author tackles these and many other questions straight on. Notwithstanding the subtitle, there is nothing in this book about the ethereal or the astral. You will not find the word "karma" in this book. What you will find is a unique approach to deep questions; an approach that is direct, plain-spoken and succinct. This book includes profound insights into matters of faith, spirituality, and formal religion based on observations about human nature, science, popular culture and some of the author's personal experiences, providing a modern day context to allow the reader to grapple with the questions that are raised on their own terms, rather than relying on others, no matter what their position or stature in society. The reader will find frank discussion about ministry, prayer, worship, personal and institutional wealth, the place of discussion of religion in public, the nature of the soul, what the nature of a creative power might be, and numerous other topics that fall within the realm of the title. The author is essentially a lay-person and not a biblical scholar, who unabashedly challenges clergy, scientists, and politicians in addition to other lay-people to think again or perhaps for the first time about the nature of our existence and our roles on this earth. No matter who you are, where you are from, or how you were raised, you will find something in this book that you haven't thought about before. Without offering answers, this book will change the way you think about faith, spirituality, religion, life and the possibility of afterlife. The basic thesis of this work is the insistence that we each use the brain we were given to think things out for ourselves. The assertion is that no faith is genuine that isn't thought through and thought through deeply by each individual. Read this book. You will be forever changed by it.
Book Synopsis Islam, Modernity and a New Millennium by : Ali Paya
Download or read book Islam, Modernity and a New Millennium written by Ali Paya and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the world becomes increasingly globalised Islam faces some important choices. Does it seek to "modernise" in line with the cultures in which it is practised, or does it retain its traditions even if they are at odds with the surrounding society? This book utilizes a critical rationalist viewpoint to illuminate many of the hotly contended issues in modern Islam, and to offer a fresh analysis. A variety of issues within Islam are discussed in this book including, Muslims and modernity; Islam, Christianity and Judaism; approaches to the understanding of the Quran; Muslim identity and civil society; doctrinal certainty and violent radicalism. In each case, the author makes use of Karl Popper’s theory of critical rationalism to uncover new aspects of these issues and to challenge post-modern, relativist, literalist and justificationist readings of Islam. This is a unique perspective on contemporary Islam and as such will be of significant interest to scholars of Religious Studies, Islamic Studies and the Philosophy of Religion.

Book Synopsis Light for the New Millennium by : Rudolf Steiner
Download or read book Light for the New Millennium written by Rudolf Steiner and published by Rudolf Steiner Press. This book was released on 2014-06-04 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Containing a wealth of material on a variety of subjects, Light for the New Millennium tells the story of the meeting of two great men and their continuing relationship beyond the threshold of death: Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925)--the seer, scientist of the spirit, and cultural innovator--and Helmuth von Moltke (1848-1916)--a renowned military man, Chief of the General Staff of the German army during the outbreak of World War I. In 1914, following disagreements with the Kaiser, Moltke was dismissed from his post. This led to a great inner crisis in the General, that in turn drew him closer to Steiner. When Moltke died two years later, Steiner maintained contact with his excarnated soul, receiving communications that he passed on to Moltke's wife, Eliza. These remarkable and unique messages are reproduced here in full, together with relevant letters from the General to his wife. The various additional commentaries, essays and documents give insights to themes of continuing significance for our time, including the workings of evil; karma and reincarnation; life after death; the new millennium and the end of the last century; the hidden causes of World War I; the destiny of Europe, and the future of Rudolf Steiner's science of the spirit. Also included are Moltke's private reflections on the causes of the Great War ("the document that could have changed world history"), a key interview with Steiner for Le Matin, an introduction and notes by T. H. Meyer, and studies by Jürgen von Grone, Jens Heisterkamp and Johannes Tautz.

Download or read book Ancient Wisdom, Modern World written by and published by Abacus (UK). This book was released on 2000 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time and in a culture where science and technology have taken over from religious belief, when ethics are understood primarily in terms of aesthetic choice or legality, how are we to formulate moral principles to guide us in our daily lives? Though religion can certainly help in this, the Dalai Lama demonstrates that there are universal principles we can draw on which transcend the dilemma of belief or unbelief. And whilst many have been content to speak of spiritual matters as something mysterious or evanescent, the Dalai Lama explains his approach in terms that are as clear and concise as they are compelling. With wit, gentle good sense and with penetrating insight, the Dalai Lama shows how the truths that have stood the test of generations of practise can provide us with the tools to live happy, fulfilled and meaningful lives. In the process, it becomes apparent that he does not merely espouse the 'feelgood' religiosity some accuse him of. The reader is left admiring not just the wisdom of the author, but the wisdom of the culture he represents.
