Bô Yin Râ teaches:
Do not make an image of the appearance and character of the man in which your spiritual teacher here on earth might live.
The external life of the spiritual teacher is his business; he does not want the spirit in which he works to be confused with his earthly appearance. –
He does not want his ‘pupils’ to revere his ‘personality’ but only the spiritual power from which he performs his works. – –
(From:Book 02-The Book On The Living God: (The light dwells in the east)
Behold, my friend, I too once walked along a road which enticed me into many errors, a road which seduces human spirits here on this planet…
…Believe me – I have also often enough experienced such danger in the past, so that I can indeed warn you of it! …
I can truly feel your pain, for I have seldom been completely spared from suffering. – –
And so, I may truly speak of suffering too and of its overcoming through the form in which you can endure it…
I know only too well how much the suffering of the body can weigh upon a person, and how, despite this, it can be restrained when given form. –
(From:Book 25- Spirit And Form chapters:The form of joy, The form of suffering )

This website is meant for people who want to attain their ‘high goal’, i.e. when their ‘Living God’ gives birth to himself in theirselves. Therefor this website gives an introduction to Bô Yin Râ’s book ‘The Path of my Pupils’ (Fourteenth part of the ‘Hortus Conclusus’) which will help to guide you to this point. As a visualization of this sublime happening has been chosen Bô Yin Râ’s painting ‘On the verge of Initiation’ (originally entitled ‘An der Grenzen der Einweihung’) which in this way becomes an illustration to this website. The initiator of the website can testify to its effectiveness.
Whom I accept as my pupils
Inner life and outer World
The pupil and Bô Yin Râ
The teaching and the books
Spirit and a necessary distinction
The path and the goal and what it takes
On perseverance and dalliance
And again: inner life and outer world
