Book SynopsisThe Nineteenth Century Rimé (non-sectarian) movement played a major role in shaping modern Tibetan Buddhism. This book provides an overview of the movement, the major figures within it, its background context and why it has exerted such an enduring influence. The central figures in the Rimé movement opposed the solidification and political rivalries of the various Buddhist lineages and schools while encouraging the study and practice of them all. The movement played an important role in reviving marginalised traditions and saving others on the point of extinction. The majority of Tibetan lamas teaching in the West, including His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama, have been influenced by the Rimé movement, and a number of important present-day lineages are directly connected to it. An appreciation of this movement is therefore invaluable for understanding Tibetan Buddhism as it is currently practised.

Book SynopsisVlad Korbel was born in the Bohemian city of Prague, the city of Václav Havel, Franz Kafka, and Jan Hus, who was burned at stake by the Catholic Church for preaching the truth. In his youth, Vlad participated in the rave counter-culture inspired by Terence McKenna. Vlads second home is in Ecuador, where he also spent time in the Amazon. Ultimately, however, Vlad dedicated his career to studying human behavior. Instructed by Stanford Innovation Program, from which he received a professional certificate, he spent seven years running hundreds of qualitative interviews and observations of human behavior in one of the biggest pharma companies in the world, spending a significant time in Basel, Switzerland. Inspired by years of research on human behavior, Vlad decides to undergo multiple journeys of inquiry to the Supreme Self, opening up the possibility of direct two-way communication. The Self, in a conversation, communicates to him the ultimate truths. Furthermore, through extreme curiosity and a strong will, Vlad penetrates behind a veil where he finds a hidden insight. The insight, guarded by a fear of death, is who we are in truth. Using basic logic, he attempts to explain what cannot be explained, blending it into a symbol of a wheel, which in his view, best illustrates the fundamental principles of our existence.

Book SynopsisPart of the Psycho-Mythology Series, a blend of fiction and psychological fact. Spiegelman had used Jungs method of inner dialogue and active imagination for fourteen years, when one day there was a quantum jump for him, and as he put it: The work was no longer merely for my own enlightenment and development, but suddenly took on the possibility of social usefulness. The first book of the Psycho-Mythology Series is The Tree, which consists of ten tales told by five men and five women. Each story is of a heroic nature, though the people are quite ordinary. Each is a tale of individuation, of a pursuit of wholeness and meaning based on their own experience of the divine. THE QUEST, which is made up of different stories, dovetail into one tale. Humanitys search for meaning, and understanding, integration and union carries on. The content is of learning and healing. Through their experiences, they are redeemed and make the discovery of the divinization of man and the humanisation of the divine. Israel Regardie (1907-1985) the western worlds foremost authority on higher consciousness states: Spiegelman deals symbolically with the process of individuation, the growth to be ONESELF, the movement Godward.

Book SynopsisThree-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee Dr. Scilla Elworthy, a realist with 40 years'' experience at the sharp end of politics and conflict, presents a bold but realistic vision for the future in Pioneering the Possible. Human beings worldwide are anxious, afraid for their children''s futures, dissatisfied by their lives, but unsure what to do. Our global ecosystems and supply chains are under threat and our leaders appear to have failed us. Pioneering the Possible addresses these anxieties head-on by envisioning a future that could work for everyone, rich and poor, demonstrating with real-life examples how that future is already emerging. Pioneering the Possible tackles the deeply embedded 20th-century values that get in the way of addressing global problems, and shows how these destructive values can be—and are being—reversed. We know the world is in crisis: we are spoiling our planet at such a rate that soon it may be unable to sustain human life. This crisis is in fact a vast opportunity, because a secure and satisfying future for all of humanity is perfectly possible if we make the right choices. But building such a future will require the leap in consciousness that Einstein indicated when he said, "No problem can be solved from the consciousness that created it." Pioneering the Possible investigates what this new consciousness is and takes us to meet the leaders who have learned to apply it. With profiles of individuals who exemplify transformative leadership such as Dr. Desmond Tutu and Aung San Suu Kyi, Dr. Elworthy demonstrates how anyone can develop the magnificent inner power to build their own personal contribution to the future and become a 21st-century pioneer of what''s possible. The book then contrasts the value systems that underpin our current decisions with the kind of values that would enable us to make better choices—those that could get us out of the mess we''re in. To envision the kind of future that is possible—a lift-off into life as it could be—Elworthy calls on some experienced specialists to look through their telescopes into the future, then brings in the pragmatists who know what to do in their fields, because they''ve done it, tested it, and made it work. Pioneering the Possible ultimately helps you find your unique way to be useful; as Dr. Elworthy says, "to discover your mission and put it into action—instead of worrying on the sidelines—is to find peace of mind and a heart full of love."

Book SynopsisWhat does Shakespeare have to teach us about mindfulness? What Eastern spiritual views about death, love, and presence are reflected in the writings of The Bard? The Buddha and the Bard reveals the surprising connections between the 2,500-year-old spiritual leader and the most compelling writer of all time.“Shufran’s compelling juxtapositions will encourage the reader to ask the deepest questions of themselves while delighting in the play of resonances across a cultural and historical divide.” – YOGA Magazine  Shakespeare understood and represented the human condition better than any writer of his time. As for the Buddha, he saw how to liberate us from that condition. Author Lauren Shufran explores the fascinating interplay of Western drama and Eastern philosophy by pairing quotes from Shakespeare with the tenets of an Eastern spiritual practice, sparking a compelling dialogue between the two. There’s a remarkable interchange of echoes between Shakespeare’s conception of “the inward man” and Buddhist approaches to recognizing, honoring, and working with our humanness as we play out our roles on the “stage” of our lives. The Buddha and the Bard synthesizes literature and scripture, embodied drama and transcendent practice, to shape a multifaceted lyric that we can apply as mindful practice in our own lives. Shufran’s compelling juxtapositions will encourage the reader to ask the deepest questions of themselves while delighting in the play of resonances across a cultural and historical divide. DAILY INSPIRATION: Dip into The Buddha and the Bard for insight and inspiration whenever it’s needed. SURPRISING CONNECTIONS: Reveals links from the “theatricality” of human incarnation to the “great globe” that both Shakespeare and the Buddha gently guide us to remember is already within. THOUGHTFUL GIFT: A beautiful gift for lovers of Shakespeare and followers of Buddha alike. EXPERT AUTHOR: Poet and former University of California instructor Lauren Shufran has studied and taught literature and Shakespeare, informed by her personal yoga, meditation, and mindfulness practices, for more than 8 years.
