S&P's Living Spiritual Teachers Project and Remembering Spiritual Masters Project are ongoing efforts by this website. These profiles — a biography of each teacher, quotation sampler, list of his/her distinctive contributions, and links to reviews of his/her books, audios, videos, interviews, articles, and website — spotlight people from different religious and spiritual traditions we think you should meet on your spiritual journey.
We have selected 30 teachers out of the 140 on this site as "wise elders."
