In this beautiful and atmospheric book, Bo Yin Ra sets the tone for
concepts he develops in all his future works. Rich in allegory,
metaphor, and poetic language, "The Book on the Royal Art" invites
readers to enter the path of the inner journey towards an awakening
of their timeless, true self.
The path is simple, straightforward, and quiet. At the core of
Bo Yin Ra's teaching is the importance of cultivating an inner
silence so that one's eternal self can slowly emerge. It is the
work of a lifetime, and transcends death. Bo Yin Ra stresses that
there is no need to look outside for masters, to renounce the world
or engage in unusual practices: We can develop ourselves in our
everyday, familiar surroundings. All experiences in life can be of
use. Even the most painful grief and sufferings of life can be used
to strengthen us and bring us into greater aliveness and joy.
The royal art refers to the preparation received by the
Luminaries, beings who live among us, almost always in obscurity,
who act as mediators of eternal light. The Luminaries form a bridge
helping us to receive, in a gradual and gentle way, spiritual light
that would otherwise be too powerful to absorb. They function as
inner protectors, buoying us up with strength and insights that
speak to us in silence and from within. Bo Yin Ra disabuses us of
the temptation to think of Luminaries as godlike, emphasizing that
they are ordinary people who have been chosen, often to their
horror, to bear the burdens and risks of their compassionate task.
"Know that on your quest for light," Bo Yin Ra tells us, "your path
will be protected by the spirit's luminaries..."
The "Book on the Royal Art" is the first volume of the 32-volume
cycle "The Gated Garden, " in which Bo Yin Ra further develops
different aspects of the path towards consciousness of one's
eternal self.
