Welcome to the Traditional Studies Discussion Forum
Our community is devoted to the discussion of Tradition, a term that has been most adequately defined by Seyyed Hossein Nasr as "truths or principles of a divine origin revealed or unveiled to mankind and, in fact, a whole cosmic sector through various figures envisaged as messengers, prophets, avataras, the Logos or other transmitting agencies, along with all the ramifications and applications of these principles in different realms including law and social structure, art, symbolism, the sciences, and embracing of course Supreme Knowledge along with the means for its attainment."
Topics for discussion include the orthodox doctrines, spiritual methods, and artistic forms of the worlds great religions, especially as they are represented in the Traditional School comprised of such authorities as Rene Guenon, Frithjof Schuon, Ananda Coomaraswamy, Marco Pallis, Titus Burckhardt, Martin Lings, Seyyed Hossein Nasr, William Chittick, Huston Smith, James Cutsinger and many others. Although these writers will serve as our primary focus, all traditional orthodox religions and philosophies are appropriate subjects for discussion. It is our hope that the encounter with the traditional perspective on this forum will allow participants to penetrate further into the depths of their respective traditions and enter into mutually supportive and enriching dialogue with the adherents of other religions.

Sophia Perennis
The knowledge which delivers is of the root of existence itself. It is based on the fundamental distinction between Atman and maya and the knowledge of maya in the light of Atman. (Nasr)

Religio Perennis
The Divine Name must take the place of the veiled Heart, and a movement towards it must be set up in the soul to counteract the pull of the outer world so that the lost harmony can be regained. (Lings)

Cosmologia Perennis
Cosmology is the science of the world inasmuch as it reflects its unique cause, Being. There are a multiplicity of visions of the cosmos, all equally possible and legitimate because they spring from the same universal and immutable principles. (Burckhardt)

Integral Aesthetics
The message of Beauty is both intellectual and moral because it communicates to us, in the world of accidentality, aspects of Substance, and because it reminds us of what we must love, and consequently be. (Schuon)

The Reign of Quantity
The development of manifestation necessarily implies a gradually increasing movement away from the Principle. We are now within the Kali Yuga or dark age during which the primordial spirituality becomes more and more obscured. (Guenon)

The Ancient Mysteries
The founders of the mysteries intimated in a figure long ago that he who arrives [into the world below] after initiation and purification will dwell with the gods. For many, as they say in the mysteries, are the thyrsus bearers, but few are the mystics, - meaning, as I interpret the words, the true philosophers. (Plato)

With this sacred pipe you shall walk upon the Earth; for the Earth is your Grandmother and your Mother, and She is sacred. All these peoples, and all the things of the universe, are joined to you who smoke the pipe - all send their voices to Wakan-Tanka, the Great Spirit (Pte San Win)

The Way of the Tao
The way that can be spoken of is not the constant way; the name that can be named is not the constant name. Therefore the sage keeps to the deed that consists in taking no action and practices the teaching that uses no words. (Tao Te Ching 1:1,6)
