Keep the context
Take what is useful, thoughtfully.
This is a selective introduction, not a complete map of religions or a statement of Nolan’s religious identity. Traditions contain internal differences, and translations involve interpretation. Read introductory context before extracting a quotation or practice. Inclusion makes a resource available for exploration; it does not imply affiliation or agreement with every teaching.
Selections are based on public source review, not a claim that Nolan uses every resource or belongs to the organizations listed.
