Sample Book Insights:
#1 While I can understand how science has undermined faith in some aspects of traditional religion, I see no reason why advances in science should have the same effect on the notion of inner or spiritual values. The need for inner values is more urgent in this age of science than ever before.
#2 I have always been interested in the scientific basis for the effects of contemplative practice and the deliberate cultivation of qualities such as compassion, loving-kindness, attention, and a calm mind. If science can show such practices to be both possible and beneficial, then perhaps they can be promoted through mainstream education.
#3 The word secular is often used in India to describe a tolerant and respectful attitude toward all religions. In the West, however, the word is often used to describe an antagonistic relationship between religion and secularism.
#4 When negative attitudes toward religion are motivated by a concern for justice, they must be respected. However, when assessing such criticisms, it is important to distinguish between criticisms directed at religion itself and those directed at the institutions of religion.
