In this inspiring work, you will learn how to discover peace, transformation, and divine solutions to your everyday problems through the creativity of the Buddha-nature in your heart. Quietly Comes the Buddha unfolds the story of Sumedha, the story of a soul becoming the Buddha, as it reveals his experiences during many lifetimes in the mastery of the “ten perfections,” or virtues, that lead to Buddhahood. It shows how you, too, can cultivate these qualities―these ten habits of highly effective Buddhas-to-be―as you walk your own spiritual path. This beautiful blend of prose and poetry, prayer and meditation also includes special sections of meditations on the heart for resolving conflicts and chakra meditations. “This devotional text, firmly grounded in Buddhism but reaching out to embrace other teachings, has the potential for awakening in the heart an ardent desire for enlightenment. It both comforts and challenges.” ―Sonja Arntzen, scholar of Zen poetry and Japanese literature, author of Ikkyu and the Crazy Cloud Anthology and The Kagero Diary
Elizabeth Clare Prophet (1939-2009) was an author, teacher, messenger of the ascended masters and leader of The Summit Lighthouse—an internationally recognized spiritual center for the advancement of inner awakening and soul liberation. For decades Elizabeth's books have been front runners in the movement for individual union with God. Millions of copies have been sold worldwide and published in more than 30 languages. Throughout her lifetime, Elizabeth Clare Prophet walked the path of spiritual adeptship, advancing through the universal initiations common to mystics of both East and West. She taught about this path and described her own experiences for the benefit of all who desire to make spiritual progress. She lectured across North and South America, United Kingdom, Europe, Australia, the Philippines, Ghana, Liberia and India. With Her husband, Mark L. Prophet, she led pilgrimages to the Holy Land, Egypt and India. Thousands of people from across the globe attended her four yearly conferences and hundreds of students learned spiritual teachings from her Summit University retreats. Her great desire was to share a spiritual path that would take true seekers, in the tradition of the mystical paths of the world's religions, as far as they could go and needed to go to meet their true teachers, the ascended masters, the archangels and their own Higher Self, face-to-face. Her unpublished writings, lectures and dictations from the ascended masters continue to be released by Summit University Press.
This book is a prayer and meditation book with beautifully written. It has prayers meant to be read to buddhist gods. However, if you want to know about concepts of Buddhism or want to apply it to your life, this is not the book you woudl want to buy.
I give it a 3 as reading through fills you with calm and makes you serene.
The author was a friend of mine (she passed on recently). Her studies of Eastern religions helped her to craft a wonderful story-like introduction to Elizabeth Clare Prophet's classic.
