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.

Oriental Metaphysics
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)

Religion of the Heart
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)

Anthropocosmic Vision
In the anthropocosmic vision, the world as object cannot be disjoined from the human as subject. The purpose of knowledge is not to manipulate the world, but to understand the world and ourselves so that we can live up to the fullness of our humanity. (Chittick)

The Message of Beauty
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)

Paths to the Summit
There are many paths that lead to the summit of one and the same mountain; their differences will be the more apparent the lower down we are, but they vanish at the peak; each will naturally take the one that starts from the point at which he finds himself. (Coomaraswamy)

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)
