Many of us share hopes of having a close-knit family, with members staying in intimate contact and harmony for the duration of our lifetimes. Although this may be the desire of many, too often in this modern world it may not be the case as, unlike in the past, we live in a more troubled time. Delivering practical solutions for realizing the close and caring relationships that we yearn for, The Quest to Safeguard Wholesome Family Life offers wisdom from an ancient philosophy of life, one that is perfectly relevant in our modern world.
By concentrating on the quality of our life and our relationships with family members and others, our aspirations become more attainable. By focusing our minds on goodness, love, compassion, and forgiveness, we can develop a deeper understanding and holistic view of our intimate connection with people and nature. An emotional hygiene of trust, loyalty, respect, and sympathy can be cultivated and grow into living a life of contentment and moderation. We can thus develop a sense of concern for others' well-being more than for ourselves. Through employing the time-tested philosophies of this book, we can better understand our problems and learn to cope with them more wisely.
