Great Eastern Sun: The Wisdom of Shambhala is a continuation of that path. Shambhala was an exploration of human goodness and its potential to create an enlightened society—a state that the author calls "nowness." And in that spirit of nowness, Great Eastern Sun —which is accessible to meditators and non-meditators alike—centers on the question, "Since we're here, how are we going to live from now on?" EIGHT MINDFUL STEPS TO HAPPINESS: Meditation is like walking toward happiness. And Bhante Henepola Gunaratana is like a tireless bricklayer, constructing a path brick by brick that allows us to make that walk. Without the path, he says, all the walking in the world won't help. Of course, as a Buddhist monk, his blueprint was created long ago in the form of the Buddha's so-called Noble Eightfold Path. In the same clear language that has made his Mindfulness in Plain English a perennial favorite, Eight Mindful Steps to Happiness is his attempt to explain this timeless path of morality, concentration, and wisdom. The gist of the book comes down to the use of the word skillful in the heading of each of the book's chapters. Living well is a skill that takes both practice and understanding. With stories, bulleted summaries, quotes from the sutras, and, most of all, a knack for relating to our everyday concerns, Henepola Gunaratana skillfully teaches us how to refrain from causing others to suffer. This, along with ending our own suffering, leads to happiness. INFINITE CIRCLE, TECHINGS IN ZEN: In Infinite Circle, one of America's most distinctive Zen teachers takes a back-to-basics approach to Zen. Glassman illuminates three key teachings of Zen Buddhism, offering line-by-line commentary in clear, direct language: • The Heart Sutra: the Buddha's essential discourse on emptiness, a central sutra of the Mahayana Buddhist tradition. • "The Identity of Relative and Absolute": an eighth-century poem by Shih-t'ou His-ch'ien, a key text of the Soto Zen school. • The Zen precepts: the rules of conduct for laypeople and monks. His commentaries are based on workshops he gave as Abbot of the Zen Community of New York, and they contain within them the principles that became the foundation for the Greyston Mandala of community development organizations and the Zen Peacemaker Order. THE BUDDHIST HANDBOOK: Explains all aspects of this ancient religion, from the early history, world view, meditation practices, and festivals of Buddhism to the westward migration of Buddhist thought and its contribution to the field of psychotherapy. Included are chapters on Who's Who in Buddhism (a modern Western perspective) and contemporary Buddhist activities in North America. This is the first book to provide an overview of Buddhism worldwide. A consumer's guide to Buddhism, this handbook serves as the perfect introduction. Offers an orientation to the different schools, concepts, interpretations, teachers, and organizations throughout the Buddhist world. All books in EXCELLENT, Like New condition.
