Buddha Maitreya - The Heart of Dharma or A Guide to the Self Srdce Dharmy
-
- Self-Improvement
THE HEART OF DHARMA or A Guide to the Self preceded the book MAITREYA BUDDHA SUTRA or Emptiness... Mother of the Heirs to Immortality, which the author claims to be the Last Sutra of this age, written in the language of the present-day world so that a single reading of it will enable any being who makes a Sincere Effort to understand the interpretation of the Teachings of the Buddha to achieve his own Enlightenment, without previous spiritual practice and in this one lifetime. The text of this book, THE HEART OF DHARMA, or A Guide to the Self, may be regarded as an abridged version of the Sutra dealing with the workings of this world, the PATH leading out of Suffering, the Law of Impermanence, the cause of Suffering, the True nature of reality, the tendency to Grasp that which cannot be grasped, the Freedom of non-attachment, the fear of Emptiness, Responsibility, the tendency towards conflict, Non-conditionality, Sameness and Non-differentiation, Unity and Non-dividedness, the characteristic of “not-self”, the relationship to self and others, the Ending of suffering, the non-existence of sin, Christ and the role of sacrifice, the Buddha Shakyamuni called Gautama, and the Four Noble Truths.
