Westerners have become far more interested in 'enlightenment' and non-Western models of prayer and meditation. However, few books in English address Westerners' needs if they are seeking a truly modern and holistic context for their spirituality. Now available to English speaking readers is this collection of essays written by the spiritual leader Mokichi Okada, who gained the name Meishu-sama (enlightened spiritual leader) as he touched the lives of more and more people in mid 20th century Japan. Moving back and forth between a mind/body therapeutic health approach and a spiritual discipline approach to help his followers, Okada developed a set of teachings that touched on a wide range of subjects. Some of these included: organic farming, natural lifestyles, healthy food, art and beauty, flower arranging, as well as his spiritual healing technique called 'johrei'. Readers of these essays taken from Okada's teachings will learn the importance of faith, health, loving attitudes and beautiful environments. An essential read.
