Beschreibung

In Essays on the Bible, 20th century Japanese philosopher and spiritual leader Masahisa Goi discusses the universal truths within well-known and well-loved passages from the New Testament. Drawing on a profound source of spiritual intuition, he elucidates the ancient teachings of Jesus for people in the modern era, grounding them in history and offering comparisons with Buddhism as well as his own teachings and method of prayer. Whether or not readers have a background in Christianity or any prior knowledge of the Bible, these essays serve to broaden our understanding of what Jesus taught and how he and his disciples lived. With every word he spoke, Jesus is shown to be a true saint and messenger of God, born on earth to guide humanity to eternal peace and harmony.

Autor

Born in Tokyo, Japan, on November 22, 1916, Masahisa Goi was a poet, philosopher, writer, and singer. Though he aimed at a career in music, he found himself spontaneously drawn to the realms of philosophy and spiritual guidance. At the age of 33 he attained oneness with his divine self. From that time on, he endeavored to reach out to people by holding informal talks, where anyone was invited to participate and ask questions. He enjoyed this direct contact with people, and provided many with spiritual guidance toward the attainment of inner peace.

Mr. Goi authored more than 60 books and volumes of poetry, including God and Man (his first and most fundamental work), One Who Unites Heaven and Earth (an autobiography of his early life), The Spirit of Lao Tsu, Essays on the Bible, How to Develop Your Spirituality, and Catch the Light, to name a few. Translations of many of his works are in progress.

Based on the universal prayer May Peace Prevail on Earth which he advocated, Masahisa Goi founded a worldwide movement of world peace through prayer, transcending religious, ethnic, and political boundaries. Before departing from this world in 1980, he named Mrs. Masami Saionji, his adopted daughter, as his successor and leader of the world peace prayer movement that he initiated.
