| Summary |
Of all the great religions, Buddhism has focused most intensively on that aspect of religion we call spirituality. "In Buddhism, Spirituality is not merely interior reality or a mere escape from ordinary existence. Rather, it aims at cleansing the mind of impurities and disturbances . . . and cultivating such qualities as concentration, awareness, intelligence, will, energy, confidence, joy, (and) tranquility".--from the Introduction.
