Download or read book Absolute Truth for a Relative World written by Dennis Dinger and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2010-11-24 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is difficult these days to hear or read and decide what is true and what is false. It seems like there are a lot of lies and deceptions floating about. Some are lies. Mostly, rather, people are telling the "truth" as they perceive it - ""relative truth."" So as Pilate asked Jesus, "What is truth?" Where does one go in the 21st Century to discern truth from falsehood? The answer is "to the Bible." God speaks in absolutes - always has - always will. The answers to most of mankind's questions can be found in the Word of God. This book is a study of truth as it appears in the Bible. It behooves mankind, especially Christians, to familiarize themselves with the Word of God. Otherwise, they can be blown about, tossed, and scattered, like fall's leaves dancing to every little breeze. We all want to be well-grounded, solid individuals. Knowing God, and the truths of His Word, can produce that result. This book should provide many answers - especially, the one to Pilate's question.

Book excerpt: The teachings of the Buddha are classified into five categories, the Five Vehicles, according to sentient beings’ aspirations and capacities, However, He intends for all to ride the One Vehicle to Buddhahood. Although Buddha nature is in all, everyone needs training to reveal it. He who activates the bodhi mind to enlighten himself and others is a Bodhisattva, who must accumulate merit and develop wisdom on the Bodhisattva Way to Buddhahood. This book, Rulu’s fourth, presents three sutras in English, all translated from texts in the Chinese Buddhist Canon. Sutra 1 is the Sutra of the Garland of a Bodhisattva’s Primary Karmas.

Sutra 2 is chapter 7 of the Sutra of the Profound Secret Unraveled. It describes the four purities and the eleven parts of training, which rule the holy grounds, and explains the ten paramitas. Sutra 3 is chapter 26 of the Mahavaipulya Sutra of Buddha Adornment. It presents in detail a Bodhisattva’s training on the Ten Grounds, his spiritual attainments, and his worldly requitals. The translator’s introduction integrates the essential teachings in these three sutras. This book will benefit readers at all levels and can serve as a basis for scholarly research.

Download or read book Adventures in Spirituality written by Robert P. Vande Kappelle and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-02-17 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contrary to popular culture, the goal of life is not happiness, but meaning. Those who seek happiness by trying to avoid or finesse conflict, suffering, doubt, and change will find life increasingly superficial. Feeling good is a flawed measure of life, but living meaningfully is transformative, for then one is living a developmental rather than a regressive agenda. The ego does whatever it can to make itself comfortable, whereas spirituality is about wholeness. Adventures in Spirituality represents the culmination of Dr. Vande Kappelle’s forty-year teaching career, incorporating in one volume his views on topics as varied as theology, Christology, biblical interpretation, spirituality, ethics, world religions, religion and science, faith and reason, and church history. Reared in Costa Rica, the son of missionary parents, Dr. Vande Kappelle describes his journey from belief to faith as a transition from precritical to postcritical understanding, from evangelical Christianity to what he calls “alternative orthodoxy.” Narrating the shift from first- to second-half-of-life experience, he introduces readers to core principles that shaped his values, thinking, and way of life. Useful for individual or group study, Adventures in Spirituality encourages readers to take risks with their lives and faith, affirming that this is how one grows spiritually.

Download or read book The Absolute Truth And Other Uncertainties written by Fairfield Goodale and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005-08 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We were told that everything in the Buchenwald camp was as it had been on the day of liberation-torture devices, gallows, crematoria containing charred human remains, gas chambers, piles of teeth with gold extracted, lamp shades of tattooed human skin-except that the diet and living conditions of the current population of 20,000 prisoners were a bit improved, and they were free within the barbed wire compound to move wherever they were physically able to with their slow, torturous, tiny-stepped shuffle. Their striped uniforms, bearing yellow stars and sometimes pinkish insignia, were baggy and hung in tatters from skeleton frames, yet each prisoner's appearance and demeanor displayed every vestige of dignity he could muster. No hangdogs, no whimpering, no complaining, no visible tears. They were beyond that, and above it." All of the author's proceeds from the sale of The Absolute Truth And Other Uncertainties-A Remembrance will be donated to the Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital Foundation, Santa Barbara, California.
