The Buddhist, Taoist, Yoga and Hindu traditions are usually taken as the primary guides to enlightenment theory and practice, yet all genuine religions share some common cultivation theories and practices which will take practitioners to the same spiritual body attainments that constitute spiritual enlightenment and liberation (Moksha). This book explains this non-denominational spiritual path with details. Much of the contents will seem revolutionary, including: a comprehensive description of 'interdependent origination' within the universe that incorporates the Hua Yen view and includes the creation of the cosmos and the development of sentient life; the Diamond Sutra enlightenment view of what we ultimately are as our true nature and apparent nature; an explanation of the spiritual goal of sat, chit, ananda and how this necessitates a dualistic mind-body cultivation system that entails physical exercise and inner energy work to achieve physical health and bliss, along with meditation practice to achieve the flow state of pristine awareness; how we must cultivate our minds and behavior towards virtuous ways and do good deeds to improve society in order to merit the Twelve Year kundalini transformation period required for enlightenment; revelation of the five spiritual body attainments within the sambhogakaya along with their properties; the five stages scheme of spiritual progress for how to reach enlightenment through cultivation practices; and the principles of Yin and Yang Qi cultivation inherent in yoga, martial arts and all spiritual cultivation practices. This will be a perennial guide to the spiritual cultivation efforts you undertake in your life. 3
