PHOTO CAPTION: L. Ron Hubbard demonstrating his discoveries on the mind, spirit and life to students in 1952.<\/em><\/p>\n
This year marks the 70th anniversary of Scientology, the\u00a0world’s youngest major religion, adding another dimension to the celebration.<\/p>\n
Ron Hubbard once remarked that there are only two tests of a life well lived: \u201cDid he do what he intended?\u201d and \u201cWere people glad he lived?\u201d<\/p>\n
He also believed that\u00a0\u201cwisdom is meant for anyone who wishes to reach for it. It is the servant of the commoner and king alike and should never be regarded with awe.\u201d<\/p>\n
He shared the knowledge he discovered, recording his research in more than 10,000 authored works and the 3,000 recorded lectures of Dianetics and Scientology.<\/p>\n
And while Scientologists the world over honor his legacy with celebrations in Scientology Churches and Missions, many millions more recognize him for the humanitarian initiatives derived from his work.<\/p>\n
Ron Hubbard\u2019s common-sense moral code<\/a>,\u00a0The Way to Happiness, transformed a poverty-stricken African village. That same booklet helped forge peace between warring gangs in the streets of\u00a0South Central Los Angeles<\/a>. And it has\u00a0reduced recidivism among the most hardened criminals<\/a>throughout Mexico.<\/p>\n Teachers in Nigeria remember L. Ron Hubbard for the technology of study that has given them the tools to salvage\u00a0entire generations<\/a>.<\/p>\n And officials, religious leaders and entire towns and cities across South Africa know him as the man who inspired the\u00a0Scientology Volunteer Ministers<\/a>\u00a0who have empowered a movement throughout the country with Scientology Tools for Life training.<\/a><\/p>\n Ron Hubbard earned the Publishers Weekly Century Award for the book\u00a0Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health.\u00a0The magazine describes it as \u201cperhaps the best-selling non-Christian book of all time in the West.\u201d<\/p>\n Smithsonian magazine\u00a0lists L. Ron Hubbard among the 11 most influential religious figures in American history and one of the 100 most significant Americans of all time.<\/p>\n To learn more about L. Ron Hubbard and the religion he founded, visit the\u00a0Scientology Network<\/a>.<\/p>\n Several of L.
