At the turn of the Millenium, the World Council of Religious Leaders (WCRL) was formed to assist the United Nations on achieving global peace. This book is a commemoration to the establishment of a Policy Centre of Suriname for the WCRL. It outlines the mission and objectives of this new world body, which will bring the collective wisdom and leadership of the faith traditions to bear upon the challenges that face humanity.

This book also a practical guide that describes all the major path of enlightenment. Some people believe that the universe is nothing more than a vast system of motions, a concept according to which it is completely explicable in terms of mechanical processes.

We have broad based movements (individual, activist groups, business, professional groups, spiritual leaders and followers) which are an amalgam of diverse spiritual, social and political elements nurturing the common aim of transforming individuals and society through spiritual awareness. These broad based movements brought feminist, ecological, spiritual and human potential concerns into the mainstream through world summits that encourage work towards achieving world peace and harmony.

"[The Religion of Java] makes new and important contributions to our understanding of Javanese life; it is well-documented; it is clearly written; it is perceptively and creatively conceived." -- Cora Du Bois, American Anthropologist

Written with a rare combination of analysis and speculation, this comprehensive study of Javanese religion is one of the few books on the religion of a non-Western people which emphasizes variation and conflict in belief as well as similarity and harmony. The reader becomes aware of the intricacy and depth of Javanese spiritual life, and the problems of political and social integration reflected in the religion.

The Religion of Java will interest specialist in Southeast Asia anthropologist and sociologist concerned with the social analysis of religious belief and ideology, students of comparative religion, and civil servants dealing with governmental policy toward Indonesia and Southeast Asia.

"Here is a masterful study, by a well-trained anthropologist, of religious beliefs and practices as observed in a small town in East Central Java.... The treatment is thorough, erudite and dynamic. Here is the model that should be followed by all students of religion; a book that should be read for its basic insight into religion, even if the reader has no special reason to take interest in the people of Java. Needless to say, for a student of Indonesia this work is a major contribution and a real treat." -- Library Journal

"To Illustrate this complexity and to describe placticaly and convincingly both separateness and interaction, diversity and unity of the three principal strata of Javanese Islam is the purpose and achievement of the present volume. The documentation is rich and varied." -- G.E. von Grunebaum, American Journal of Sociology.

Buku yang memecahkan "kode" dan menyingkap alasan mengapa manusia cenderung percaya akan Tuhan.

Kecenderungan manusia bersikap religius bukanlah suatu kebetulan, melainkan secara meyakinkan disebabkan oleh gen-gen dalam dirinya -- demikian pendirian Dr. Dean Hamer. Banyak temuan baru di bidang gentika perilaku dan neurobiologi menunjukkan bahwa setiap manusia mewarisi dalam dirinya kecenderungan yang membuat otak manusia harus sekaligus siap menerima "kekuatan yang lebih tinggi".

Dengan menganalisis pengaruh genetis yang membentuk diri manusia dan membandingkan semua sampel DNA subjek penelitiannya dengan skala pengukur kadar spiritualitas, Dr. Hamer berhasil mengindetifikasi sebuah gen, yakni yang disebutnya "gen Tuhan", yang tampaknya membangun spiritualitas manusia.

Dalam buku yang ditulis dengan seimbang dan jujur tanpa berusaha meneguhkan atau menyangkal keberadaan Tuhan ini, ia dengan brilian menjelaskan bagaimana kecenderungan kita pada iman dipengaruhi oleh gen-gen kita.

Sebuah buku yang dapat menjembatani jurang antara agama dan ilmu pengetahuan.

The keystone of the great nineteenth-century American philosopy, Transcendentalism

The great philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) is remembered for his worldly idealism and uncompromising faith in the future, while emphasizing individual freedom and self-reliance. Nature (1863), Emerson's first published work, contains the essence of Transcendentalism, his philosophy and religion. It includes reflections on beauty, language, discipline, idealism, and spirit, which links us to the Eternal, and espouses, a bouyant view of the possibilities of the human world that is radiant with hope.

Hidup di zaman edan
gelap jiwa bingung pikiran
turut edan hati tak tahan
jika tidak turut
batin merana dan penasaran
tertindas dan kelaparan
tapi janji Tuhan sudah pasti
seuntung apa pun orang yang lupa daratan
lebih selamat orang yang menjaga kesadaran

Dalam tradidi kepustakaan Jawa, Ronggowarsito dianggap sebagai pujangga penutup, atau pujangga terakhir. Setelah kematian Ronggowarsito, sudah tidak ada lagi, dan tidak mungkin lagi ada, seorang pujangga. Meskipun sekarang ini masih tetap ada orang-orang yang menulis berbagai karya dalam Bahasa Jawa, mereka hanya para penulis dan bukan pujangga.

Seorang pujangga, menurut tradisi ini, bukan sekadar seorang penulis, melainkan juga memiliki kemampuan dan otoritas menangani persoalan-persoalan dunia spiritual. Kadangkala mereka juga disebut nujum istana. Dalam ekspresi aslinya, pujangga haruslah seorang yang memiliki kemampuan sambegana, kecerdasan dan daya ingat yang kuat, serta nawungkrida, kemampuan menangkap tanda-tanda alam maupun zaman yag tidak diketahui orang biasa.

Kemampuan ini, menurut riwayat, benar-benar dimiliki Ronggowarsito. Dalam hal sambegana, tidak diragukan lagi Ronggowarsito adalah orang yang mumpuni di zamannya dalam ilmu bahasa dan sastra.

Demikianlah kehidupan dicoba dilihat oleh Gede Prama dalam buku ini. Sifat buku ini sebagai tumpukan hasil wawancara berbagai media (dari Kompas, Tempo, Nirmala, Gatra, Warta Ekonomi, sampai Eksekutif) dengan Gede Prama membuatnya jadi unik. Terutama karena ide dan sosok Gede Prama diungkapkan secara multiekspresif (dalam sudut pandang maupun cara pengungkapan).

Memulai hidup didorong oleh kesombongan, ditarik oleh keberhasilan, kemudian berbelok masuk ke dalam keheningan. Semuanya membuat buku ini jadi bahan-bahan kaya akan perenungan kehidupan. Higher awareness, deeper relaxation, itulah yang terasa setelah merenung dalam di atas pengalaman buku ini.

Sejak awal berkarya, Gede Prama memang pengagum alam. Gunung dan samudra adalah salah satu sumber inspirasi Gede Prama. Kedua-duanya jadi menjulang tinggi maupun luas dalam tidak terkira karena menerima saja apa yang datang. Gunung jadi tinggi karena menerima saja tumpukan batu yang datang tanpa bertanya, apalagi menolak. Samudra jadi mahaluas karena menerima saja air yang datang tanpa banyak membedakan dan berdebat. Seperti berbicara pelan meyakinkan: penerimaan kehidupan adalah awal pembebasan! ini juga yang membuat Gede Prama berhenti didikte kesombongan, tidak lagi lapar akan sebutan keberhasilan, dan dengan merunduk memasuki wilayah-wilayah keheningan. Ia sekarang kebanyakan tinggal di desa tempat lahirnya, Desa Tajun, Bali Utara, bersama istri dan seorang putra bungsunya.

Gubahan Pecinta [A Travel Guide] adalah buku berisi syair-syair gubahan Syekh Fattaah. Gubahan ini bukan semata karya seni, melainkan bahasa jiwa yang merangkai seni dalam ikhtiar menuju cinta murni milik Sang Maha Sejati. Inilah ungkapan bahasa sufi yang bergelora penuh makna asmara cinta. Cinta yang dimaksud bukanlah ungkapan perasaan berselaput nafsu dunia, tapi kejernihan yang dapat membedakan siang antara matahari dan sinarnya, membedakan hidup antara jasad dan ruhnya, membedakan hidangan antara aroma dan rasanya, serta membedakan ibadah antara ucapan dan perbuatannya.

Walau kata hanya sebatas kata-kata dan kalimat hanya sebatas ucapan, namun bila lahir dari hati, kata dan kalimat itu akan bersemayam di nurani. Buku ini menghidangkan kalam untuk diterjemahkan oleh nurani bijak para pembaca. Keindahanya terasa bila kita menikmatinya dengan kejernihan hati. Buku ni juga merupakan sarana pendekatan spiritual. Karenanya, bila dibutuhkan dan bila Paduka Maha Pengasih mengizinkan, buku ini dapat menjadi "a travel guide".

In A Hidden Wholeness, Parker J. Palmer reveals the same compassionate intelligence and informed heart that shaped his best-selling books Let Your Life Speak and The Courage to Teach. Here he speaks to our yearning to live undivided lives -- lives that are congruent with our inner truth -- in a world filled with the forces of fragmentation.

Mapping an inner journey that we take in solitude and in the company of others, Palmer describes a form of community that fits the limits of our active lives. Defining a "circle of trust" as "a space between us that honors the soul", he shows how people in settings ranging from friendship to organizational life can support each other on the journey toward living "divided no more."

Inspired by Palmer's writing and speaking -- and challenged by the conditions of twenty-first century life -- people across the country, from many walks of life, have been coming together in circles of trust to reclaim their integrity and help other foster wholeness in their workplaces and their world.

For over a decade, the principles and practices in this book have been proven on the ground -- by parents and educators, clergy and politicians, community organizers and corporate executives, physicians and attorneys, and many others who seek to rejoin soul and role in their private and public lives.

Membahas soal kematian bisa menimbulkan sebuah pemberontakan yang menyimpan kepedihan dalam setiap jiwa manusia; yaitu kesadaran dan keyakinan bahwa mati pasti akan tiba serta punahlah semua yang dicintai dan dinikmati dalam hidup ini. Kesadaran ini lalu memunculkan sebuah protes berupa penolakan bahwa masing-masing kita tidak mau mati. Setiap orang berusaha menghindari semua jalan yang mendekatkan ke pintu kematian.

Buku ini juga telah meruntuhkan bayang-bayang kematian yang amat menakutkan itu. Ternyata, seperti dijelaskan buku ini, kematian adalah sesuatu yang indah. Menyelami lautan hakikatnya membuat hidup kita semakin optimis.

Semakin manusia berilmu tahu banyak dan mendalam tentang Semesta Raya dan Semesta Mini, tentang diri-sendiri juga lewat pengamatan eksatanya dan logikanya merupakan anugerah Allah yang luar biasa kemampuannya, maka semakin takjublah dia dalam pengakuan dirinya sebagai mahluk yang semakin merasa kecil dan tidak tahu banyak.

Manusia yang berilmu luas dan mendalam semakin rendah hati dan kehilangan kesombongannya, dibanding dengan manusia tradisional yang merasa tahu segala-galanya. Namun semakin berat tanggjungjawabnya tentang pemahaman mengenai diri-sendiri di tengah semesta raya dan pemahamannya tentang Tuhan.

Catatan-catatan kecil dalam buku ini ingin mengantar Pembaca yang peka tanda-tanda zaman ke dalam dunia manusia ilmiah modern tadi yang sedang bergulat berat dengan Tuhannya. Berat namun mulia karena segala yang mulia harus diperoleh dengan mahal. Dengan risiko diperolok-olok sebagai seorang sekularistis bahkan kafir modern. Tetapi sebenarnya dia lebih berkesempatan bagus mendekat dengan Tuhan berkat kejujurannya, kecintaannya kepada kebenaran apa pun, dan terutama karena sikapnya yang suka merendahkan diri dan merasa diri hanya tahu sangat sedikit di tengah Semesta begitu raya dan begitu dalam penuh misteri.
