Universal Truths.....

As a Christian, I am constantly pleasantly surpised that the truth can be found in all places and times. This book is a wonderful and refreshing reiteration of basic yet exceedingly profound truths. I am so thankful that I was drawn to it. I give it my highest recommendation. It sits on my self next to my Bible, Dhammapada, Tao Teh Ching, Analects, I Ching, and Bhagavad-Gita. The message trancends time and space: Love, Nurture, and Forgive!

The basis of human life

A wonderful book! The three words, Love, Nurture and Forgive, provides the basis to our lives. It is truly fascinating to discover that 'love' contains many different levels to be practiced. And that our relationships with others allows us the opportunities to deeply understand and develop the means to love, nurture and forgive one another.

Buddhism, Christianity or Both?

As a Christian, I suspect that this is the book that Jesus would have written had he been able to find a publisher at the time. The title says it all. Although an essentially Buddhist philosophy, the ideas contained in the book could have been written with the Christian reader in mind. What could be more Christian than living for the sake of others (LOVE), looking after and helping others develop (NURTURE) and recognising that we are all children of Buddha/God no matter what our transgressions (FORGIVE)As with all his books that I have read, Okawa continues in his unpretentious style, and is therefore very easy to read.

Bright new future for religion!

This is a shining honest account of the experiences of a true masters' awakening. And lays out a clear description of the starting point to understanding his broad and profound teachings. This is a big step foward for religious thought!
