Insightful quotes written in Tibetan calligraphy are paired with
photos of Buddhas from around the world to create this collection
of timeless iconography. Calligraphy has held an honored place in
the spiritual traditions of Tibet. Monks dedicate their lives to
mastering the many subtleties of the art, often spending years
transcribing sacred Buddhist manuscripts. The carefully composed
lines and deliberate spatial awareness in each work of calligraphy
within Sacred Scripts encourage reflection, mindfulness, and
meditation. Within these pages, sacred mantras, seed syllables, and
Buddhist quotes are presented in authentic Tibetan scripts. Photos
of Buddha statues from around the world complement the calligraphy
and create an ethereal mood of serenity. Addressing the stresses of
our modern world and the demise of spiritual languages, Sacred
Scripts provides insight and inspiration for attaining inner peace
and well-being.
The author designed his book to be a transformative journey that
conclusively reveals one's own "enlightened self-nature" directly,
leaving no room for doubt or uncertainty. For those who are serious
about self-realization, this book offers explanations, insights and
practical methods that can easily be applied without prior
knowledge or experience with meditation or Eastern practices. The
key teachings originate in the Tibetan wisdom tradition known as
the "The Great Perfection," but are inclusive of other traditions
such as Zen, that offer insights and methods into discovering our
True Nature immediately and directly, not after months or years of
study, meditation and practice. The author also studied deeply the
teachings of the Sufis in Kashmir, India which revealed the wisdom
of the Heart and Love, both necessary qualities in realizing one's
true nature. The approach shared is very direct and capable of
revealing immediate benefits. The overall goal is the acquisition
of a completely new perspective on life that is grounded in
spontaneity, freedom, joy and unconditional love for the benefit of
oneself and others. The journey includes delving into the nature of
thought, mind and ego-self to learn how we create our own
suffering. From there we are introduced to our own inner jewel of
enlightened awareness and knowingness that has always been present
but never or rarely noticed. We then learn methods of how to
broaden the "recognition" and how to stabilize and integrate this
wisdom awareness into all aspects of our lives. Finally we are
introduced to the nature of our spiritual Heart the seat of
unconditional love and True Being. We learn how we are all just
"one life," and with this recognition we find joy for ourselves and
love for all beings. The author has spent over forty-seven years in
pursuit of the wisdom teachings that can bring about enlightenment
and liberation from personal suffering. As a result his travels to
meet actual masters who were themselves accomplished in this path,
took him to India, China, Nepal, Japan, Korea, Israel, Egypt, and
Saudi Arabia. This book represents the essence of those teachings
yet are presented in a completely generic and unique approach that
anyone can benefit from. The author shares: "It is my hope that
seekers of all types may find the realization of their goals
fulfilled through the reading and application of the teachings as
offered in this book and are able to realize the immediate presence
of the Natural Bliss of Being for themselves as I have, and
realize: 'Relishing and celebrating life's journey is the
realization of Enlightenment itself '"
