Product Description
by Bô Yin Râ (J a. Schneiderfranken) (Author)
In Letters to One and to Many, Bô Yin Râ draws from his voluminous correspondence with his readers over many decades to address the concerns they have most frequently expressed to him. The book takes the form of a series of personal letters in which Bô Yin Râ responds to a fictitious letter writer--who is actually a composite of many real letter writers. He offers guidance as to the proper relationship between attending to matters "between cradle and grave" and the life beyond, answers questions about the nature of God and how spiritual help and blessings reach human beings, and offers encouragement to those who walk along the inner path.
