Prayer Books

THIRD PART. IN the deep consciousness of my entire natural inability for going through the work, which is before me, to the profit of the reader and to the glory of God, I am nevertheless of good cheer in beginning this service; for the Lord has enabled me often to bow my knees before Him, to seek His help respecting it; and I am now expecting His help. He delights in making His strength perfect in our... more...

FOREWORDIT seems fitting that this little book of personal testimonies to answered prayer should have a brief introductory word as to how they came to be written. The question has been asked by some who read many of these testimonies as they appeared in the pages of The Sunday School Times: "How could you write such personal and sacred incidents in your life?" I could not have written them but... more...

ALWAYS TELL THE TRUTH Truthfulness is a mark of Christianity. The heathen go astray, speaking lies as soon as they are born. In China a mother will give her boy a reward for the best falsehood that he can tell. Beginning so early, and regarding it such a fine thing to tell wrong stories, they become skillful in falsehoods. Some parents in Christian America are very careless in this matter. It made my... more...

La gente discute sobre lo que es “mío” y lo que es “tuyo” en la religión. Para mantener tales disputas a raya está el Trimantra. Cuando uno comprende el significado fundamental del Trimantra (una oración auspiciosa), uno se dará cuenta de que no es un mantra de una religión en exc lusiva, o de una secta o división de una religión. Los saludos en el Trimantra son ofrecidos a todos los... more...

INTRODUCTION The pages which follow call for little introduction. S. Thomas has left us no formal treatise on Mystical Theology, though his teachings on this subject have been collected from his various works and combined to form such a treatise.

Para quem quer saber o que é iluminação espiritual, é essencial conhecer os 24 Tirthankaras do passado e do presente. Na era anterior, era possível alcançar a iluminação instantânea simplesmente encontrando um Tirthankara. Atualmente, essa iluminação não é possível aqui na terra. Na era atual, quem procura o despertar espiritual pode procurar professores espirituais para entender o... more...

Las escrituras dicen que en este tiempo no es posible para nadie la liberación final directamente desde este mundo nuestro. De todas maneras hay una via abierta a Mahavideha kshetra (un mundo en otro universo) que ha sido abierta por un periodo largo de tiempo. Tendremos que ir a Mahavideha kshetra y después de hacer Darshan (adoración) del Tirthankar vivo (completamente iluminado) Shri Simandhar... more...

Warum spiegelt unser Verhalten die Religion und die religiösen Praktiken nicht wider, obwohl wir uns so sehr damit befassen? Bist du nicht auch frustriert und verwirrt darüber? Was ist der Grund dafür? Param Pujya Dadashri (Meister der spirituellen Wissenschaft) hat das Geheimnis hinter dieser Verwirrung geklärt. Er sagt, dass jedes Verhalten und jede Verhaltensweise ein Ergebnis der Ursachen aus... more...

As religiões desse mundo preservam o conhecimento e protegem os segredos dos antigos e poderosos mantras.
