Description

Drawing on experience as an interreligious monk, Brother Wayne Teasdale reveals the power of spirituality and its practical elements. He combines a profound Christian faith with an intimate understanding of ancient religious traditions.

Creator Wayne Teasdale believes that we’re entering the “Interspiritual Age,” when a new civilization will be formed–a global culture based on common spiritual values. “This kind of universal society will draw its inspiration from perennial spiritual and moral insights, intuitions, and experiences,” Teasdale predicts. All through this ambitious book, Teasdale examines the world’s religions and highlights the underlying beliefs and yearnings that will in the long run link humankind.

Nonetheless, Teasdale is also a proponent of spiritual diversity, urging readers to give protection to and study their own indigenous religions (or in many cases the religions of their childhoods) before rejecting them. In his glowing introduction, the Dalai Lama also speaks to the importance of preserving religions at the same time as concurrently joining forces to create a more spiritually evolved and compassionate planet. In his final chapters, Teasdale offers ideas for cultivating a more spiritual life. Despite the fact that his suggestions are not startlingly original (“Gravitate toward silence,” “All the time leave the door of hope wide open.”) they are tried and true and well worth the reader’s time and investment. –Gail Hudson
