True Light: Ordinary People on the Extraordinary Spiritual Path of Sukyo Mahikari

6 CE Credits - $120

Instructor: Leena Banerjee Brown, PhD

Course Description (as written by His Holiness, The 14th Dalai Lama)

“A spiritual journey is essentially devoted to developing our genuine concern for others. We cultivate positive qualities such as patience, compassion and loving kindness, while countering negative mental qualities like anger and attachment, which cause us unhappiness and inflict suffering on those around us.

The benefit we derive from practicing more altruism will be an increase in our mental as well as our physical wellbeing. The process can be thought of as “mental hygiene”; just as we must attend to our physical hygiene, it is important that we improve both our heart and mind to develop inner peace.

Dr. Leena Banerjee Brown’s book is an account of the spiritual journeys of a few practitioners who describe how their own happiness and wellbeing have increased as a result of their effort to help others. I hope that this book will be an inspiration to the many who make their way along their spiritual paths.
