If you value `HAPPINESS' in life, then READ THIS!

This is a great book written by the spiritual author, Ryuho Okawa. He explains in very simple terms the path to reaching a state of happiness. Not the kind of fleeting happiness you feel one day and then disappears the next. He guides us to a true kind of happiness that can only be felt deep within our souls. ...as the soul is the true nature of our being and happiness is its natural state. It describes that the four principles or paths most important to achieving this kind of happiness is through: 1. The practice of giving love without expectations 2. To seeking true knowledge of ourselves and of the meaning of existence 3. Practicing reflection to understand the mistakes we made in life and to release ourselves from attachment that causes suffering 4. To develop ourselves so that we can help guide others and to become useful in the world - to, ultimately, evolve spiritually We are reaching a stage in our cultures where we are all searching for meaning in our lives. We are beginning to understand that all the wealth and worldly success in life cannot bring us happiness. I believe we are starting to see beyond the superficial conditioning from school and work that the excessive `finanicial profit making' mentality (or in other words, selfish-greed) is not working. This is simply because it is not our true aim or natural state of being. Our natural state of being is to love one another, help one another to grow and become beautiful, good beings who live harmoniously with one another. To cultivate people who are genuinely happy and are passionate in passing on this happiness to as many people as possible so that they too can be happy is, simply, the essence of this book. If you value `happiness' in life and believe that this is the true aim of people then I highly recommend this book to you. It has certainly enlightened me to understanding what true happiness is and how we can use this to make this world a better place for us now and, more importantly, for our children and grandchildren in the future. We need to begin creating cycles of happiness. This is one book that can help us in initiating these cycles. Please read it and enjoy! ...with love, light and happiness. Tony

Much deeper than it sounds

This book might sound like another self-help or new agey type of book but it is much more than that.This book is so clear,practical,and straightforward yet very deep and even esoteric and mystical that it is totally original in it's content compared with other books on personal growth,self-help, or spirituality.The author seems to be speaking at times directly to the reader and then simultaneously in a universal way also.Some of the subject matter in certain chapters really goes deep especially the last one entitled "Believe in the Advent of the Age of the Sun".I hope your open minded if you decide to read this book.It's quite unique.
