Many people who are drawn to Buddhism today are seeking for
spiritual knowledge as opposed to simple faith or sectarian belief.
Hermann Beckh had a profound personal connection to the Buddhist
path and the noble truths it contains, yet he was also dedicated to
a radical renewal of Christianity. Assimilating the groundbreaking
research of Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925), Beckh's comprehension of
Buddhism was neither limited to historical documents nor scholarly
research in philology. Rather, from his inner meditation and
spiritual understanding, he saw the earlier great world religions
as waymarks for humanity's evolving consciousness. In the modern
world, the apprehension of Christianity needed to be grounded
firmly in a universally-valid, inner cognition and experience: `In
this light, knowledge becomes life.' Hermann Beckh - Professor of
Tibetan Studies and Sanskrit in Berlin, subsequently a founding
priest of The Christian Community - first published this mature
study in 1925. Having already produced the comprehensive Buddha's
Life and Teaching in 1916, Beckh's sweeping perspectives combined
with his extensive academic knowledge provided a unique grounding
for authoring this work. As he notes, From Buddha to Christ follows
a path of development, `both of method and goal'. Thus, studying
this book is itself a path of knowledge and potential initiation.
Beckh's universal insights remain relevant - and if anything have
gained in value - to twenty-first century readers. This edition
features an additional essay, `Steiner and Buddha: Neo-Buddhist
Spiritual Streams and Anthroposophy' (1931), in which Beckh, for
the first and last time, explains his lifelong personal connection
to the Buddhist path. `Christianizing the Buddha's impulse at the
same time broadens the Christian horizon...' - Hermann Beckh
A Course in Miracles (ACIM) is one of the most profound spiritual
texts of our times, but the language can be seen as difficult.
Training Wheels: An Experienced Guide to the Lessons from A Course
in Miracles offers what so many spiritual seekers need - a deeply
transformative daily practice written in plain language and
grounded in personal experience. A spiritual seeker, healer, and
teacher since 1982, the author explains each Daily Lesson from A
Course in Miracles in her own words, using her background in
metaphysics, science, meditation, and self-reflection. If you are
looking for guidance, comfort, and reassurance coping with a world
in transition, you'll find it here.

surprising world is emerging, around us and within us. If we choose
to realize its potential, we will forever alter our experiences of
ourselves, our relationships and our surroundings. Gary Zukav
explains how a powerful new dynamic is at play in human
relationships. By focusing attention on the interior rather than

partnerships of substance and depth for the purposes of our mutual
spiritual growth. Filled with fascinating examples as well as
