NOTE: THIS WORK IS AN EDITED VERSION OF THE 1975 FIRST EDITION 'A COURSE IN MIRACLES' MANUSCRIPT. I AM NOT THE AUTHOR NOR DID I ADD COMMENTARY. IT WAS EDITED AND COMPILED TO INTRODUCE CERTAIN PARTS OF 'A COURSE IN MIRACES' TEACHINGS TO BUDDHISTS. IT HAS ALSO BEEN GIVEN A NEW COVER DESIGN THAT MIGHT APPEAL TO BUDDHISTS. WHY DID I DO THIS? SIMPLE. I AM A BUDDHIST, YET ACIM TEACHINGS HAVE TRANFORMED MY LIFE AND PRACTICE. I WANTED TO BE INVOVLED, IN SOME SMALL WAY, IN HELPING THE WORLD FIND THESE AMAZING TEACHINGS. HOWEVER, THERE ARE VARIOUS VERISONS OF ACIM BOOKS ON THE MARKET. PLEASE GET THE ONE THAT IS RIGHT FOR YOU.
"This is a course in miracles. It is a required course. Only the time you take it is voluntary. Free will does not mean that you can establish the curriculum. It means only that you can elect what you want to take at a given time. The course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love, for that is beyond what can be taught. It does aim, however, at removing the blocks to the awareness of love's presence, which is your natural inheritance. The opposite of love is fear, but what is all-encompassing can have no opposite. This course can therefore be summed up very simply in this way, "Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God"
