Establishing a new structure to capture the imagination of youth and channel its spiritual energy is hopefully useful. Buddhism, the traditional candidate for this, unfortunately fails in this respect . One assimilates elements of a philosophy, but invests oneself in a religion - making it much more integral to living. It builds on insights developed over the millennia in these various traditions, insights about the meaning of it all and about how we relate to it. It directs attention to a morality and more generally to a path that will increase serenity, that being considered the aim.
Wonder is simply a set of principles to think with and to act by in order to be happy .
It seeks a healthy self in a harmonious balance. Wonder is shared in the simple spirit of sharing. Make of it what you will, ignore it if it seems extravagant, ridicule it if you feel it deserves that. Wonder is an appropriate name for a religion that, much like Buddhism, is based upon a particular way of seeing the world. One wonders at the natural unity underlying the world's complexity and one's being in the world.
