“There's a way in which all of these grazers at the spirituality buffet are performing a service, because you could argue that grazing leads to a kind of tolerance. People who incorporate teachings from a lot of different traditions into their own belief systems are going to be more tolerant than people who confine themselves within the strict boundaries of one particular religion. Does it contribute to our confusion? I don't know if it contributes to confusion so much as it is evidence of a certain kind of silliness and shallowness.” PeopleKindDifferentSpiritualityBeliefTeachingEvidenceTraditionArguingToleranceBoundariesConfusionPerformingSillinessShallowness Author:Wendy Kaminer

“The idea that each of us can be directly spiritual is radical. Most religions are based not on teaching adherents to be directly spiritual, but in persuading them to trust in the intercession of ministers or priests. The problem with this approach is that we cannot gain access to spirituality except through the medium of a fallible human being. If we want to see Tao, we need only open our eyes and trust what we see.” IfsWantNeedsHumansIdeasProblemEyeSpiritualSpiritualityHuman BeingsTeachingApproachGainsAccessMediumsRadicalMinistersPriestsTaoIntercessionPersuading Book:Everyday Tao: Living with Balance and Harmony Source: Everyday Tao: Living with Balance and Harmony

“The quest for this unwearied peace is constant and universal. Probe deeply into the teaching of Buddha, Maimonides, or a Kempis, and you will discover that they base their diverse doctrines on the foundation of a large spiritual serenity. Analyze the prayers of troubled, overborne mankind of all creeds, in every age-and their petitions come down to the irreducible common denominators of daily bread and inward peace. Grown men do not pray for vain trifles. When they lift up their hearts and voices in the valley of tears they ask for strength and courage and understanding.” MenHeartAgeSpiritualSpiritualityAsksPeaceUnderstandingVoicePrayerCommonTeachingMankindTearsPrayingUniversalFoundationConstantDoctrineBreadLiftsVainValleysQuestsCreedsDiverseSerenityInwardTriflesPetitionsCommon DenominatorGrown ManDaily Bread Author:Joshua L.
