Description: FROM THE PUBLISHER:

The purpose of One Heart is to illuminate the common sacred ground at the heart
of seven faiths: Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism,
and Taoism. Its method is to identify 65 essential principles, among them: Feel
what other people feel; Don't harm others; Lead with virtue and concern for
others; Be honest; Practice what you preach; Be content; Don't let anger take
over; Choose your companions wisely; Accept the existence of spiritual beings;
Seek and you will find. Illustrating each principle are one, two, or three
quotations (adding up to more than 600) from a wide variety of texts sacred to
each of the seven faiths—including the Old and New Testaments, the Talmud,
the Mahabarata, the Tao Te Ching, the Bhagavad Gita, the Analects of Confucius,
and many other sacred sources. In addition, each chapter also provides guidance
on a spiritual theme or practice—prayer beads, a home altar, labyrinth
walking—to enhance our understanding of these wise words and universal
principles.


DESCRIPTION: The wisest words from the seven major religious traditions are thoughtfully
assembled to illuminate 65 virtues common to them all.
Age Groups: None specified.
