This book is the sum of forty-odd years of mystical research, spiritual practice, life-long reading, and hard knocks. The author has transformed his experience into simple lessons for anyone seeking the unvarnished truth on a wide range of vital topics. The author has written of his favorite interests from an original perspective. The intent is to provide clarity. He writes about Buddhism, Christianity, personal security, wellness, history, Utopia, ecstasy, Cosmology, the art of dying, and the contentment to be found in silence. He, also, has included a puzzling, murder mystery. If you are seeking depth and want to be convinced in order to agree then you will be delighted with the range of thought, and its reach into new areas. It is at times devout and at other times a celebration of all domestic relaxations. You are certain to find fresh wisdom, and will possibly be reintroduced to some of the old. It is like the companionship of a ripened wit, or, of finding a polished stone of opinion. It will challenge your thinking, but it will reward you with gladness that you chose to read The Abbot's Guide And Other Wrtings by Mr. Anand.
