Zen Miracles: Finding Peace in an Insane World
FROM THE PUBLISHER
Discover a simple and powerful way to make your life more peaceful
and more fulfilling every day. This book makes the mysteries—and
miracles—of Zen accessible to everyone.
Known as "Dr. Brenda," the relationships expert on the
iVillage.com Web site, Brenda Shoshanna has studied and practiced
Zen meditation for almost three decades. In this gentle but practical
guide, she introduces you to the Zen approach, allowing you to
experience your fundamental strength and beauty—your Buddha
nature—while showing you how to calm the "monkey mind"
that keeps you restless and craving. In Zen Miracles, Dr. Shoshanna
shows you step-by-step how to open yourself to appreciating the
great gifts and miracles you receive daily.
In this book, you'll learn the importance of
mindfulness—and the essence of letting go. You'll see how
the false ego can distort and constrict your thoughts, causing
emotional pain and confusion. You may be surprised to find out
how smoothly Zen practice can coexist with, and even strengthen,
your spirituality or religious faith. Focusing on practical ways
to integrate Zen practice with family, work, relationships, and
everyday life, Zen Miracles includes exercises that you can perform
wherever you are.
Awakening the Buddha Within
FROM THE PUBLISHER
Lama Surya Das, the most highly trained American lama in the Tibetan
tradition, presents the first comprehensive book of Western Buddhism
for the modern-day spiritual seeker.
Buddhism offers a profound yet practical path
to enlightenment. In this loving and generous book, the American-born
and Tibetan-trained Lama Surya Das offers at once a definitive
and nonsectarian guide to the wisdom found in ancient Tibetan
teachings and a tried and true path of spiritual transformation.
The radical and compelling message of Buddhism
tells us that each of us has the wisdom, awareness, love, and
power of the Buddha within; yet most of us are too often like
sleeping Buddhas. Surya Das shows how we can awaken to who we
really are and thus walk the liberating, peaceful path of mindful
and compassionate living. With lively language, meditations, and
spiritual practices, this unique book provides a bridge between
East and West, past, present, and future.
Awakening the Buddha Within offers a complete
yet accessible understanding of the unique Buddhist teachings
embodied in the traditional Noble Eight-Fold Path and its Three
Enlightenment Trainings, common to all schools of Buddhism:
An End to Suffering: The Buddha in the World
FROM THE PUBLISHER
An End to Suffering is a deeply original and provocative book about
the Buddha's life and his influence throughout history, told in
the form of the author's own search to understand the Buddha's relevance
to a world where class oppression and religious violence are rife,
and where poverty and terrorism cast a long, constant shadow.
Mishra describes his restless journeys into
India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, among Islamists and the emerging
Hindu middle class, looking for this most enigmatic of religious
figures, exploring the myths and places of the Buddha's life,
and discussing Western explorers' "discovery" of Buddhism
in the 19th century. He also considers the impact of Buddhist
ideas on such modern politicians as Gandhi and Mandela.
As he reflects on his travels and on his own
past, Mishra shows how the Buddha wrestled with problems of personal
identity, alienation, and suffering in his own, no less bewildering,
times. In the process he discovers the living meaning of the Buddha's
teaching, in the world and for himself. The result is the most
three-dimensional, convincing book on the Buddha that we have.
Heart
of the Buddha's Teaching: Transforming Suffering into Peace, Joy,
and Liberation - the Four Noble Truths, the Noble Eightfold Path
and Other Basic Teachings
FROM THE PUBLISHER
In The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching, Thich Nhat Hanh introduces
us to the core teachings of Buddhism and shows us that the Buddha's
teachings are accessible and applicable to our daily lives. With
poetry and clarity, Nhat Hanh imparts comforting wisdom about
the nature of suffering and its role in creating compassion, love,
and joy—all qualities of enlightenment. Covering such significant
teachings as the Four Noble Truths, the Noble Eightfold Path,
the Three Doors of Liberation, the Three Dharma Seals, and the
Seven Factors of Awakening, The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching
is a radiant beacon on Buddhist thought for the initiated and
uninitiated alike.

Traveling Light: Releasing the Burdens You Were Never Intended to
Bear
FROM EDITORS
According to San Antonio preacher/bestselling author Max Lucado,
Psalm 23 was "written by a shepherd who became a king - because
He wanted us to know about a King who became a shepherd."
A meditation on a famous biblical poem.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
Weary travelers. You've seen them-everything they own crammed
into their luggage. Staggering through terminals and hotel lobbies
with overstuffed suitcases, trunks, duffels and backpacks.
Backs ache. Feet burn. Eyelids droop. We've all seen people like
that. At times, we are people like that-if not with our physical
luggage, then at least with our spiritual load. We all lug loads
we were never intended to carry. Fear. Worry. Discontent. No wonder
we get so weary. We're worn out from carrying that excess baggage.
Wouldn't it be nice to lose some of those bags? That's the invitation
of Max Lucado. With the twenty-third Psalm as our guide, let's
release some of the burdens we were never intended to bear.
