Lok Sang Ho

Human Spirituality and Happiness 2nd Edition Lok Sang Ho

This book draws a distinction between religion and spirituality. While there is great diversity in the world's religions, there is only one spirituality: human spirituality that bonds all humans together, regardless of their race, creed, or religion. Differences in the theology of different religions have to do with the historical context in which they arise. But the spiritual teachings of the world's great religions are universal. This book draws on the original texts of Buddhist, Christian, and Doaist teachings to highlight the essence of human spirituality. Apart from the Essence of Spirituality from A to Z, this book offers translations of key Buddhist texts and the Daodejing, and a new interpretation of the Holy Bible. The spiritual teachings from both east and west civilizations about LIFE offer a guide to inner peace and enduring happiness. Dozens of poems in celebration of LIFE and praise of Peace and Love, as well as discourses on progress in civilization offer much reflection on how we can make a better world.
