You should not read this book if you believe the teachings of your faith with heart and soul.You should not read this book if you have never doubted God.This book is written for all those who suffered bitter conflicts in themselves in their labors, never found Him. WORD OF GUIDANCE Would it not be simple-minded to assume that the sublime immortals who mediate eternal light are buddhists, lamas,pundits, let alone performing fakirs? To them it matters little whether you believe in the Bible, the Koran, the Vedas, or in the teachings of the Buddha.Among the followers of the all these faiths, however, they always find some individuals to whom they can send help and guidence. 'THE TABERNACLE OF GOD IS WITH MEN' You still are speaking of a 'God' whom you consider the 'creator' of all things; a 'God' who brought forth, and sustains, an everlasting world in His own honor, for His own glory.Yet such a view of God and of creation`s origin could only be excused in ages of the past that still possessed no knowledge of the countless ways in which the elements of Being manifest themselves today; knowledge that alone should be sufficient for a thinking mind to put away the old ideas.

Bo Yin Ra is the spiritual proper name of the author and artist Joseph Anton Schneiderfranken(1876-1943).He was born in Aschaffenburg,Germany, and died in Massagno/Lugano,Switzerland, where he had lived since 1925. His formal education as a painter began at the Staedel Art Institute in Frankfurt/Main, Germany, and then took him to Vienna,Munich, and Paris. The literary legacy of Bo Yin Ra includes forty titles, published between 1919 and 1939, in Germany and Switzerland.Thirty-two of these works comprise a closely related cycle which the author gathered under the title of Hortus Conclusis(The Enclosed Garden).In his books he addresses questions and concerns that, in the language of religion and philosophy, pertain to 'final things'-the mysteries of mortal and eternal life, of God, the origin and goal of human existence- and gives advice on how one ought to live this present life to 'lay up treasures' in the life to come. What sets these books apart from other writings on these topics is their author`s apart from other writings on these topics is their author`s background and horizon.Thus, he does not give the reader the results of learned thinking, speculations, and 'beliefs,' nor any new 'religion,' but should instead be used as maps that guide the reader safely through the labyrinth of this existence to the goal that every spiritually concerns human beings finally desires to attain.
