The Book on Love - Paperback

by Bô Yin Râ (Author)

In The Book on Love, Bô Yin Râ explores love as a spiritual energy, a life-embracing force that is manifest in all of nature. He distinguishes between love as an emotional attachment, which requires an object to attract and possess, and cosmic love, which is free of attachment and sufficient unto itself. This is the love that can truly give us freedom.

Bô Yin Râ's purpose is to kindle in us this "liberating light of timeless love." Only celestial love, he tells us, can bring forth miracles of spiritual awakening, and inspire the fundamental trust in our eternal life that relieves us of worry. This love can infuse our everyday lives, elevating even the most ordinary work and everyday relationships, transforming our lives into works of art.

Bô Yin Râ discusses at length the role of Jesus of Nazareth as the embodiment of the full might of love and what it can accomplish. He provides an intimate portrait of Jesus as a Jew and an earthly human being, disabusing readers of the ways in which Jesus's teachings have been misinterpreted and distorted, both in his lifetime and ours.

Of special interest also are the feelings Bô Yin Râ shares about his own role as teacher.
