Our Spiritual Insights pages show how such major world
religions as Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism and
Judaism ALL, and WITHOUT EXCEPTION, regard such "deep things" as
a "Disdain for Materialism" as being of a Central Spiritual
Significance. The following Taoist quotation illustrates this
particular "deep thing."
Chuang Tzu put on cotton clothes with patches in them, and
arranging his girdle and tying on his shoes,
( to keep them from falling off)
went to see the prince of Wei.
"How miserable you look, Sir!" Cried the prince. "It is poverty,
not misery", replied Chuang Tzu. "A man who has TAO cannot be
miserable. Ragged clothes and old boots make poverty, not
misery".
Chuang Tzu
Chap 20
There are several more such "deep things", such as Charity,
Purity of Heart, Humility and Meekness as demonstrated on our
Spiritual Insights pages and our Poetry Insights pages!!!
We have identified a range of KEY quotations that "Somehow Encapsulate"
Enlightenments, Wisdoms and
Spiritual Insights about these "deep things", and also about
another highly significant area of agreement between world
faiths that is to do with the relationship between "Spirituality
and the wider world."
This selection of quotations has
now been gathered together in order to allow our visitors an
opportunity to "Download" them and to run them on their own, or
friends, Computers - Offline!!!
This selection of Enlightenments, Wisdoms, and Insights, is
still in a "Web" format, and once downloaded will be fully
accessible as a local Web page on an individual Computer
without any connection to the World Wide Web. When you can
actually browse Web format pages offline they load much faster
and there are no call charges!
To download all you have to do is to click the link available
further down this page... allow the page to load fully on your
computer ... then use the file menu on your Internet Explorer browser
window to "Save as" a Web page, complete!!!
Once the file is saved to your hard drive just click on the file icon in "My Documents,"
or any other folder you saved it to, to open the file for offline browsing at your own convenience!!!
In order to limit the size of the downloadable Web page we
have had to be selective and, in a very few cases that are made
obvious to the reader, links from the downloaded page lead to
some of our on-line pages.
We are as yet unable to offer a direct download option to the many visitors who prefer to browse
the Web using Netscape or Opera
as several contextually relevant page images tend not be be "saved" as they would be in Internet
Explorer. Apologies for this
- if you
are one such visitor a possible "workaround" is for you to opt to visit and save our downloadable page
(as optimised for Netscape and Opera!!!) using Internet Explorer and
then to browse the many profound wisdoms and key insights it contains off-line using your
browser of choice.
Click on either of these links to open our downloadable page as optimised for your own preference of
browser:-
