desertcart.com: The Mystic Heart: Discovering a Universal Spirituality in the World's Religions: 9781577311409: Teasdale, Wayne, Dalai Lama, The: Books

Review: Exploring religious pluralism from a Christian perspective - This book was the result of many years of study and interfaith dialogue as well as a dedicated regular practice of various forms of prayer such as the Rosary, Lectio Divina, Centering Prayer, and the Eucharist. There is an enthusiasm and exuberance in Br. Teasdale's ongoing communion with God that he is eager to share with the world -- not as a boast but as a gift. To show that such faith, hope and love is accessible to all. He takes the affirmation of Vatican II, that all major faiths contain their own take on the greater truths of life and death, very seriously. His exploration of other religions is done from the perspective of someone who is rooted in his own tradition, and while he presents his own synthesis of how he interprets other faiths, he doesn't force this on those from other religions. Everyone, religious and irreligious, interprets other religions and beliefs through the lens of their own views, and Teasdale does so generously, accurately and honestly. His vision isn't one of a sloppy, indistinct mush made up of pieces of various religions that is so generic and bland as to be useless. In fact Teasdale writes so lovingly of the structures and liturgical gems each tradition has inherited that one suspects he would find such an indiscriminate merger of religions to be a tragedy. His view for an inter-spiritual age is based on the idea that each tradition is a complete system which can interact with and learn from others without losing its distinctiveness. I purchased this book many years ago and have re-read it several times, and each time I find something I didn't notice or fully appreciate before. It is a wonderful companion to have on your spritual journey.
Review: Love it! - This book was a great read. It’s basically about interspirituality and how certain practices can help us reach enlightenment. By the middle of the book I could tell that the writer did not have the divine light enlightenment encounter, but he has experienced something. It could be enhanced psychic abilities or understanding consciousness. This was still a very good read especially for those that don’t understand the middle path towards enlightenment. I have had this divine experience with the white light I call God so it was an interesting read.

There really is no other book on inter-spirituality, the new millennium of religious experience. One of the most important books I’ve ever read.
