Essential Truths for Spiritual Awakening in a Secular Age In this day and age of advanced scientific and information technology, we are often deluded by a false sense that we know everything. But in fact, many people cannot even answer simple but fundamental questions about life, such as “what’s the purpose of our life” and “what happens after death.” In The Laws of Mission, Ryuho Okawa offers integral spiritual truths that bring about spiritual awakening within each of us. This book helps us find the purpose and meaning of our life and make the right decisions so that we can walk on the path to happiness. Atheism and misunderstanding of religious teachings are often the root causes of conflicts, tragedies, and misery in this world. Establishing faith and bringing about spiritual breakthroughs in this secular age is the path to creating a world of peace, harmony, and prosperity. This book is a gate to a new level of spirituality for the coming age, and offers solutions and answers to problems we face both on a personal level and on a global scale. A spiritual leader, contemporary visionary and founder of Happy Science, Ryuho Okawa has devoted his life to the Truth and ways to happiness. Born in 1956 in Japan, Okawa studied law in Tokyo and then international finance in New York. In 1986 he renounced his business career at a major Japanese trading house and established Happy Science.
