5.0 out of 5 stars A window into another world, February 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East, Vol. 1 (Paperback)

I am a big fan of Paramahansa Yogananda's books (Autobiography of a Yogi, etc.), and like those books, this six volume set gives wonderful spiritual information that, in this case, is somewhat esoteric but is deep and generous. I think it would be a part of anyone's serious non-religion bound spiritual education. The Masters of the Far East speak about true 'religion,' and it is the type of information, in my opinion, that carries a vibrational message as powerful as its content itself.

This review is from: Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East, Vol. 1 (Paperback)

I read these books over 40 years ago. I was very young and in a lot of turmoil. After reading these books, I carried what I read with me through all the hell I was living through, and a "breakthrough" would occasionally happen. I am now an old woman (67 years old), and ready to read them again, from an entirely different perspective. I have been "wrestling" with the messages of these volumes, but coming to understand the teachings more and more. The subject is so much greater than I could comprehend at the time, and is still so magnificent that I struggle to fully understand the message.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent primer to the metaphysics of Christianity, August 1, 1999

This review is from: Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East, Vol. 1 (Paperback)

Though the Masters are not Christian, they possess a thourough understanding of the metaphysics of Christianity--reminds me of Paramahansa Yogananda's teachings at times. This is no surprise though. Most Eastern spiritual teachers understand Jesus' message much better than us Westerners. A short, but wonderful read.
