Transcendental Spirituality, Wisdom, and Virtue - Douglas Charles Hodgson

In the face of potentially cataclysmic challenges and existential threats to both humanity and the planet, it is timely for this generation to recall and then live by forgotten or ignored universal ethical principles and virtues. Transcendental Spirituality, Wisdom, and Virtue: The Divine Virtues and Treasures of The Heart identifies and explores 36 such principles that represent divine virtues or universal ethical principles. Supported by relevant scriptural passages from various faiths such as Baha'i, Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Indigenous Spiritual Beliefs, Islam, Jainism, Judahism, Shintoism, Sikhism, Taoism, and zoroastrianism, each chapter is devoted to exploring and synthesising the essence of the scriptural meaning and scope of the divine virtue. While previous works have focused generally on ancient wisdom, this book extends beyond wisdom to include 35 additional virtues or spiritual principles that underpin these great and diverse religions.
