Synopsis

 

This book is a guide for individuals who seek spiritual meanings in their daily activities. Indeed, the most important spiritual quest for a human adult is to find the best way to live a meaningful life. No wonder, this subject is the focus of all the major wisdom traditions of the world. Though these traditions were originated at various times in our history and from different parts of the world, most importantly, they share the same core message. Here, the best way for one to live is to experience his or her being. But, this must be done with complete genuineness. Elegantly expressed by the symbol of the forever coexisting Yin and Yang, this being is a state of duality in which individual human experiences timed and finite self coexisting with an eternal and infinite Self––more simply termed as the body (self) coexisting with the spirit (Self). When one is genuinely experiencing this duality, he or she is enlightened according to Buddha, or in transcendence according to Hinduism, or in the Kingdom of God according to Jesus. Though named differently, these states of mind are all the same. In every state, the given participant is imbued by the same bliss––the exact bliss of oneness with Tao––and by the same peace: the very peace of spiritual Islam.

 

 


Forest Grace is a physician who practices internal medicine and acupuncture under his official name, Stephen En Ling, M.D. He lives with his wife and their two children in the South Bay Area of northern California (The Silicon Valley). Throughout his life, he has been immensely interested in comparative religions––with emphasis on practical spirituality––partly because of his complex cultural background, having grown up and received education in four different cultures across three continents, also because of over twenty years of privilege treating a highly ethnically varied population of patients who have come here from many different countries. This is his first book, and it is written for two purposes. One is for spiritual edification for those interested in the art of living. The other is to present commonality amongst all the major wisdom traditions of the world. In today’s world of globalization, with potential clashes of cultures, it is his hope that such commonality can help the world better accept itself, with all its cultural diversities.
