Golden Laws: History Through the Eyes of the Eternal Buddha

by Ryuho Okawa

Throughout history, Great Guiding Spirits of Light have been present on Earth in both the East and the West at crucial points in human history to further our spiritual development. Among them were Shakyamuni Buddha, Jesus Christ, Confucius, Socrates, Krishna and Mohammed. The Golden Laws reveals how Buddha’s Plan has been unfolding on Earth, and outlines five thousand years of the secret history of humankind. Once we understand the true course of history, through past and present and into the future, we cannot help but become aware of the significance of our spiritual mission in the present age.

New-age interpretation of old religions

[Helen M · Rating 2 out of 5]

Mildly entertaining; it could only be taken seriously by Okawa's followers. It's in the same line as all the other books by him I have read. Get it second-hand if you want; it's got some interesting stuff in it, but nothing you won't find better written in a host of new-age books by better known writers.
