A Secular Buddhist commentary/derivative work of Evelyn Underhill's 1915 piece: "Practical Mysticism."

The author has adapted Underhill's book to a Secular Buddhist framework which encourages a balance between the rational and the intuitive, the mundane and the transcendent, the secular and the mystical.

Written for Buddhists, but with non-Buddhists also in mind, "Secular Mysticism" avoids excessive Buddhist terminology. The few Buddhist terms used are given straightforward explanations.

John Author uses Underhill's practice guidelines to form a Buddhist Path that weaves between Theravada, Mahayana, Vajrayana, Zen, and Taoism.

A departure from most Buddhist schools, "Secular Mysticism" encourages readers to strike out on their own and teach themselves. "I'm not a teacher, I'm a writer. Buddha said, 'Be a lamp unto yourselves.'"
