About the author

Henry M. Piironen is a contemporary philosopher, who considers all the values, teachings and truths of religions to be universal. His artful choice of words echo the profoundness of the teachings of the ancient wisdom traditions to the contemporary ears with a challenge, while restating the original purpose of religions: Religious scriptures present spiritual paths of choices and consequences. The realizations in them are to enable the individual to rise into heightened awareness through consciousness yet in a carnal body. He’s the author of The Art of Perception: An Introduction to Information Reality, The Holy Life of Christianity: Over Five Hundred Teachings of the Holy Life in the New Testament Demystified, The Holy Life of Christianity: A Workbook for Demystifying the Christian Ethics of the Holy Life in the New Testament, Path of the Eternal Truth: The Practical Science and Contemporary Philosophy of What Buddha Himself Taught of the Path of the Enlightened in Dhammapada, Enlightened Life of Buddhism: A Workbook for Interpreting the 423 Teachings of Enlightenment in Dhammapada, The Transcendental Awareness of Buddha: A Workbook for Interpreting the Teachings in Lankavatara Sutra and Diamond Sutra, The Divine Krishna: A Workbook for Interpreting the Teachings in the Bhagavad Gita, The Undivided Wisdom of Confucius: A Workbook for Interpreting the Teachings in the Analects of Confucius, My Tao Te Ching: A Workbook for Interpreting the Teachings and Poems in Tao Te Ching, Divinity: A Portrait of Human Spirituality, and Zen and the Reality of Consciousness.
