Synopsis
The book CaoDai, Brief Essential Notions is a strong addition to the current literature based on: • its timely provision of clarity in a chaotic world filled with religious conflict, by finding similarities rather than differences, by affirming our common sublime origin. • its teaching at the esoteric level of emanation from and return to the Principle as CaoDai stated: “I, your Master, am you, My children; and children, you are Me.” • its description of scientific basis of the sameness of humanity and the universe. • its guidance on how to attain this blissful state of discovery of our sublime nature for a peaceful, harmonious individual and community life with the practice of: - love, compassion, justice - the Triple Fold Path of selfless service to humanity, self-cultivation to control the egoistic self and return to the inner-self with meditation. - a plant-based diet • its description of the principle and practice of meditation • its description of the beneficial individual and environmental effects of the plant-based diet, of the scientific nutritional values and its provision for tools on how to adopt the diet successfully. The book opens to a renewal of faith and hope with an affirmation of possible realization of individual and community harmony. To the reader whether faith or non-faith based, the message is that we are all on the road toward a higher spiritual enfoldment, beyond this current supreme technological achievement.
