Note to the Student Preface |
Eastern Philosophy for Western
Minds, A Search for the Jewel in the Lotus was originally
written for educational purposes and is not sold for profit (the cost
of a hard bound copy covers the cost of reproduction and
binding--that's it). It was originally created for the students
of Polytechnic School in Pasadena, California, but can be used by
anyone interested in a rational framework from which the heart of the
Eastern philosophies might be examined. Although the book is
written from an advocate's perspective, its intention is not to
convince anyone that a particular philosophic view is better than
another. Its primary goal is to present ideas that will open the
student to a broader view of the East and the East's philosophic and
metaphysical beliefs. The hard copy version of this book was copyrited in 1992. An electronic version of the book and/or hard copies made from an electronic version of this book are not to be sold for profit. If, though, you would like to give a copy away for free, by all means do so. |
