This simple book shows how you can learn to experience God directly, and how to cultivate six attributes of a mature spiritual being kindness, happiness, generosity, patience, self-discipline, and wisdom. The starting point for this journey is a wholesome spiritual attitude based on these three ideas: (1) We are all in this together. (2) You already have the seed of enlightenment within you. (3) It is best to take small steps toward your goal.

It is easy to read, and easy to put into practice. "These are great teachings simple, clear and profound. Forest has given a beautiful gift to the world!"
