This book is about living life with meaning and purpose. It offers a modern interpretation of the way to enlightenment.
The Eightfold Path, The Six Paramitas and the Laws of Causality are clearly explained in today's language, along with the need for self reflection, the nature of karma and reincarnation, and other tenents of the Buddhist understanding of life.
Enlightenment is a potential achievement for every sentient being. The path towards it is an expansion of consciousness, from that attached only to daily life and the material things, to a cosmic consciousness aware of the unseen spiritual reality, even divisions and degrees of spirit in the multidimensional Other World, a world which Okawa describes from his own vision of it.
This path and the practice of the love that gives, rather than just expecting to be loved, is the only path to happiness, and a better world.
