Equinox Publishing Ltd Beyond Meditation: Expressions of Japanese Shin
Book SynopsisIn the wide range of Buddhist meditation and spirituality a very special place is held by the practice of calling on the name of Amitabha, or in Japanese Amida Buddha, using the simplest of formulas, the nenbutsu. Japanese masters such as Honen, Shinran and others made this the core of a profound spiritual experience which has fascinated numberless followers ever since. The deeper meaning of the nenbutsu has therefore become a major topic in Buddhist thought which has been reflected on by various thinkers and teachers to this day, especially in the context of Shin Buddhism. In this book, which draws on classic articles first published in The Eastern Buddhist, major historic proponents and masters of the nenbutsu are introduced, in particular Shinran, Shoku, Ippen and Rennyo. Further contributions, which set the work of these masters into the wider context of Buddhist tradition, are in fact some of the earliest Buddhist voicesA" to emerge from modern Japan into global view. Yet the presentations of writers such as Sasaki Gessho, Yamabe Shugaku and Sugihira Shizutoshi have a freshness and an immediacy which speaks to us today.Table of ContentsPreface with Acknowledgements A Note on The Eastern Buddhist General Introduction Conventions on Names, Titles and Scripts List of Illustrations Part I Masters of the Nenbutsu Suzuki, Beatrice Lane Honen Shonin (1133-1212) and the Jodo Ideal Sugihira, Shizutoshi A Study in the Pure Land Doctrine of Shoku (1177-1247) Sugihira, Shizutoshi The Teaching of Ippen Shonin (1239-1289) Sasaki, Gessho The Religion of Shinran Shonin (1173-1262) Sugihira, Shizutoshi Rennyo Shonin (1415-1499): a Great Teacher of Shin Buddhism Part II Some Foundations in Mahayana Buddhism Murakami, Sensho Mahayana Buddhism Akanuma, Chizen The Buddha as Preacher Akanuma, Chizen The Triple Body of the Buddha Sasaki, Gessho Philosophical Foundations of Shin Buddhism Sugihira, Shizutoshi The Unfolding of the Nenbutsu Teaching Part III Themes in Shin Buddhism Sasaki, Gessho Shin Buddhism: The True Pure Land Faith Yamabe, Shugaku Amida as Saviour of the Soul Yamabe, Shugaku The Way to the Land of Bliss Sasaki, Gessho The Enlightened Mind of the Buddha and the Shin Teaching Yamabe, Shugaku The Buddha and Shinran Sasaki, Gessho The Teaching of Shin Buddhism and the Religious Life Yokogawa, Kensho Shin Buddhism as the Religion of Hearing Takagi, Kenmyo My Socialism Mino, Kogetsu The Shinran Revival of 1922 Suzuki, Beatrice Lane The Shinran Shonin Celebration Editors of The Eastern Buddhist In Memory of Sasaki Gessho Synoptic list of text titles Character List for Historical Persons Full details of original publication

Parallax Press One Buddha is Not Enough: A Story of Collective
Book SynopsisHow do we learn to believe in ourselves and not just rely on our spiritual teachers? This question often directly posed to Thich Nhat Hanh as Who will be your successor? was answered in August of 2009 when over a thousand people came to Colorado to spend a week with Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh only to find he was in the hospital and wouldn’t be able to lead the retreat. The result of this event is One Buddha Is Not Enough, a book on how to become your own teacher and create your own community where you might least expect it. One Buddha Is Not Enough offers fresh and original insight from emerging Buddhist teachers on topics such as how to handle grief, strengthen our relationships, deal with anger and other strong emotions, and find happiness in the present moment. Through letters, stories, poems, calligraphies, and photographs, Thich Nhat Hanh shares his unique insights on illness, health, and different healing modalities.Far-reaching in its implication and tremendously encouraging, One Buddha Is Not Enough is a true expression of American Buddhism: We all already contain all the insight and wisdom we need. We are surrounded by the people who can help us on our journey. Sometimes all it takes is a wake up call to remind us of what we are capable of.

Rabsel Editions A Taste of Buddhist Practice: Approaching its
Book SynopsisNowadays very popular, meditation is often presented as the key Buddhist method. However, it is actually only one means of this path of liberation. Karmapa Thaye Dorje sketches out the essential points to enter on this path in a way that is both modern and accessible for the Western audience: taking refuge, giving rise to loving-kindness and compassion and measuring the opportunity of this present existence and conditions. He taps into the Buddha's heritage and gives it a contemporary taste.
