Perspective on Mysticism in Buddhism

Description

This book explores the multifaceted dimensions of mysticism within Buddhism, investigating the profound connection between spiritual apprehension, human consciousness, and the natural world. The study examines how mysticism offers a religious and spiritual understanding of truth and nature, compelling individuals to navigate enigmatic experiences while balancing ecological preservation and human action. Central to the work is the concept of Eco-Dharma and ecological ethics, which fosters harmonious relationships among humans, flora, and fauna, ensuring mutual well-being and environmental protection without pollution or destruction. The text covers key themes such as mental development, the dynamics of enlightenment, the interplay of devotion and music, and the significance of Buddhist images and scriptures. It details the three-fold training of the human mind—encompassing ethical conduct, meditation, and wisdom—alongside the seven factors of enlightenment essential for moral and social development. Additionally, the book evaluates cosmological realms, divine and demonic forces, and the foundational principles of Buddhist thought that guide ethical sensibility and spiritual liberation.
