在我们国家旷日持久、声势浩大的“毒品战争”中，一位世界上最著名的宗教学者写道，一些精选的非法毒品有可能让人类实现其最高的精神潜力，使用这些毒品甚至可能是人类最伟大的抱负和信仰的起源之一，这意味着什么？长期居住在伯克利的休士顿史密斯并不是一个瘾君子。他甚至不是另一个蒂莫西·利里。史密斯曾任教于一些国家的领先大学，拥有11个荣誉学位，并撰写了世界宗教-最广泛使用的文本比较宗教，销售超过200万册，在过去的三十年和其他十本书。一代大学生从史密斯的著作中学到了很多关于精神传统的知识。此外，他还制作了一些电视连续剧，并自己是一个比尔莫耶斯PBS系列的主题，题为信仰的智慧与休士顿史密斯。一句话，他的主流凭证是impec电缆。
What might it mean when, in the middle of our nation's protracted and vociferous" drug war," one of the world's most renowned religious scholars writes that some select illegal drugs hold the potential for humans to realize their highest spiritual potential, and that use of these drugs might even be part of the very origin of man's greatest aspira tions and faiths?Longtime Berkeley resident Huston Smith is no dope fiend. He's not even another Timothy Leary. Smith has taught at some of the nation's leading universities, holds eleven honorary degrees and authored The Worlds Reli gions-the most widely used text on comparative religion, selling over two million copies in the past thirty years and ten other books. A generation of college students have learned much of what they know about spiritual traditions from Smith's work. In addition, he has produced a number of television series, and was himself the subject of a Bill Moyers PBS series, titled The Wisdom of Faith with Huston Smith. In a word, his mainstream credentials are impec cable.
