"The most valuable aspect of religion," writes Robert Lawrence Smith, "is that it provides us with a framework for living. I have always felt that the beauty and power of Quakerism is that it exhorts us to live more simply, more truthfully, more charitably." Taking his inspiration from the teaching of the first Quaker, George Fox, and from his own nine generations of Quaker forebears, Smith speaks to all of us who are seeking a way to make our lives simpler, more meaningful, and more useful. Beginning with the Quaker belief that "There is that of God in every person," Smith explores the ways in which we can harness the inner light of God that dwells in each of us to guide the personal choices and challenges we face every day. How to live and speak truthfully. How to listen for, trust, and act on our conscience. How to make our work an expression of the best that is in us. Using vivid examples from his own life, Smith writes eloquently of Quaker Meeting, his decision to fight in World War II, and later to oppose the Vietnam War. From his work as an educator and headmaster to his role as a husband and father, Smith quietly convinces that the lofty ideals of Quakerism offer all of us practical tools for leading a more meaningful life. His book culminates with a moving letter to his grandchildren which imparts ten lessons for "letting your life speak."
大一开学时对自己的身份有各种疑问(现在也是),在信仰方面总觉得“需要”一个绝对的观点。于是买了这本书,想研究一下高中一直算在实践但从不了解的Quakerism. 一开始读觉得作为宗教却没有icon的这一点非常吸引我。发现作者年少时第一个meeting house就是我高中的那一个。想着自己有两年每周都会去同样的地方集体冥想,有一种奇怪的温暖感。然后这本书被搁置了很久,今天终于再读时,觉得Smith写下很多所谓的Quaker value都是做个好人的定义… 不过这可能也是每个宗教的教义的根本。越读越认为偏离了我对宗教最初的着迷。还是继续做不可知论者吧。
