Dan's Ashram

Please note: this site is still under construction, and will be regularly updated.

Welcome to My Ashram!

This site will hopefully inspire you to look at life from a completely different perspective. For now, this page will serve primarily as a links site.

It is not my intention to preach to you about Truth as it is, but as it is to me. The following is merely an attempt to collate my ideas. If I succeed in making these ideas clearer to me alone, I will have accomplished my goal. However, if others also benefit from this work, then so much the better!

Anyone, regardless of race, sex, religion or social conditioning, who has studied even the most basic concepts of Quantum (particle) physics, must surely concede that, contrary to the evidence presented to us via the senses, the whole universe (and everything in it) is just that...a whole. It is one living organism which exists outside of the space/time continuum. The popular illusion that any "part" of this whole is in any way separate from any other "part", is known (in Indian philosophy) as maya.
Just why we are ensnared (as indeed, most of us are!) by this illusion, is a matter for personal enquiry, and the question of "why" will not be answered here. The aim of this site, is to try to expose (in very rough terms) what lies "behind" this curtain of illusion.

Please take a few moments to visit the following links.

The Tao Te Ching

The Dhammapada

Buddhanet

Egodust

Vedanta

The following is a list of titles which I have found to be not only very often entertaining, but also very enlightening. I do hope that (assuming you get the opportunity!) you can find the time to read them. Preferably with an open mind! If you know of any titles that you believe should be added to this list, please e-mail me and let me know.......Thankyou.
