Throughout the history of Adidam, Avatar Adi Da has called everyone to openly study and consider the practical, religious, spiritual, and transcendental traditions of the world, and to embrace these as a single, or unified, "Great Tradition of Mankind". This approach of open study critically understands, but always tolerantly allows, the views of all the separate traditions--and is in fact an essential practice in the Way of Adidam itself.
For more than twenty-five years, Avatar Adi Da has reviewed, commented upon, and organized literally hundreds of thousands of books, journals, magazines, pamphlets, videotapes, audiotapes, and compact discs representing the many sacred and secular traditions of the world. In bringing His unique Divine point of view to the entire Great Tradition, Adi Da Samraj has reviewed a vast range of materials--both materials from the religious and spiritual traditions (exoteric and esoteric) and materials of a more secular, or scientific, or humorous, or even quite unconventional nature. In an unprecedented manner, Avatar Adi Da has selected the most representative and summary titles of every tradition and point of view, and arranged them as a progressive argument. This sequence reveals how all of the separate traditions and points of view can be understood as a single Great Tradition, which Avatar Adi Da has called "the common inheritance of all of mankind".
The comprehensive summary of Avatar Adi Da's Revelation of the Great Tradition will be published in the future by the Dawn Horse Press in His "Source-Text", The Basket Of Tolerance: The Perfect Guide to Perfectly Unified Understanding Of The One and Great Tradition Of Mankind, and Of The Divine Way Of Adidam As The Perfect Completing Of The One and Great Tradition of Mankind (the final book of The Seventeen Companions Of The True Dawn Horse). The Basket Of Tolerance contains the unique bibliography listing the approximately 5,000 most representative and summary titles from the Great Tradition. This year, the Adidam Emporium has greatly expanded its selection of titles listed on The Basket Of Tolerance, with the intention of serving your understanding, tolerance, and appreciation of the great opportunity of the Way of Adidam.
