CHURCH OF THE FOUR QUARTERS

A symbol of the religious consciousness at the highest level of the quaternary or four lower planes of the soul.

"Church of the four quarters of the world, those (monks) present and those absent." - H. OLDENBERG, Buddha, p. 340.

The inner sanctuary of the heart is in the highest reaches of the lower consciousness. In that are placed the ideas which seem to claim the soul's religious reverence; and it is said that the disciplined qualities (monks) and the higher qualities (absent monks) not yet attainable, are there to be found.
