Description:
Berkeley: University of California Press, 1996. 244 pp, 8vo (9" H). "What does it mean to worship beings that one believes are completely indifferent to, and entirely beyond the reach of, any form of worship whatsoever? What are the implications of such a relationship with sacred beings for the religious life of a community? Using these questions as his point of departure, Babb explores the ritual culture of image-worshiping Svetambar Jains. Jainism is, aside from Buddhism, the only surviving example of India's ancient non-Vedic religious traditions. It is known and celebrated for its systematic practice of non-violence and for the rigor of the asceticism it promotes. 'Absent Lords' sheds light on a little-known religious tradition and demonstrates that divine 'absence' can be as rich as divine 'presence' in its possibilities for informing a religious response to the cosmos."

"Although the Jains have exerted an influence on Indian society and religion out of proportion to their relatively small numbers, they have received very little attention from scholars until the last few years. (This) is the first book to analyse the sociology of the Jains, and to discuss the notion of the 'community' based on religious affiliation in India. The contributors include sociologists, anthropologists, scholars of Indian classical religions and languages, each addressing, as a central organising principle, the conception of the Jains as a community. (It) represents an important theoretical addition to existing studies, which have hitherto focussed mainly on caste and class politics as the fundamental units of Indian society, and provides unique ethnographic information on the Jains, derived from recent fieldwork."

Description:
Boulder, Colorado: Shambhala, 2019. 138 pp, 8 1/2" H. "What is consciousness but the Cosmos awakened to itself? This question is fundamental to the Taoist and Ch'an (Zen) Buddhist worldview that shapes classical Chinese poetry. A uniquely conceived biography, (this book) illuminates that worldview through the life and work of Tu Fu (712-770 C.E.), China's greatest classical poet. Tu Fu's writing traces his life from periods of relative normalcy to years spent as an impoverished refugee amid the devastation of civil war. Exploring key poems to guide the reader through his dramatic life, 'Awakened Cosmos' reveals Taoist/Ch'an insight deeply lived across the full range of human experience. Each chapter presents a poem in three stages: first, the original Chinese; then, an English translation in Hinton's masterful style; and finally, a lyrical essay that discusses the untranslatable philosophical dimensions of the poem. The result is nothing sort of remarkable: a… Read More

Description:
Ithaca, New York: Snow Lion, 1998. 283 pp, 8vo (8 15/16" H). English and Tibetan text. "Nagarjuna is renowned for his penetrating analysis of reality. In the 'Precious Garland', he offers intimate counsel on how to conduct one's life and how to construct social policies that reflect Buddhist ideals. The advice for personal happiness is concerned first with improving one's condition over the course of lifetimes and then with release from all types of suffering, culminating in Buddhahood. In his advice on social and governmental policy, Nagarjuna emphasizes education, compassionate care for all living beings, not using the death penalty but reforming criminals, and charity for the homeless. Calling for the appointment of government figures who are not seeking profit or fame, he advises that a selfish motivation will lead to misfortune. The book includes a detailed analysis of attachment to sensual objects as a preparation for realization of the profound truth that, when… Read More

Berkeley, California: Parallax Press, 1992. 115 pp, 8" H. "In 'The Diamond that Cuts through Illusion', the Buddha and his disciple Subhuti teach us how to cut through our dualistic ways of looking at the world in order to have a deeper contact with the wondrous reality that is inside us and all around us. In his lively and penetrating commentaries, Thich Nhat Hanh shows us how this understanding, which he call 'the dialectics of prajnaparamita', leads to a deep reverence for the environment, and he applies these teachings of the Buddha to our own experience, giving practical examples from community and family life, couple relationships, and social service." Interior - the last few pages have a very small soft crease at the top corner, otherwise clean and tight with no other ownership marks. Exterior - small soft crease at the tp corner of the covers, light rubbing on the covers.. Not Signed. Fourth Printing. Soft Cover. Very Good.

Rochester, Vermont: Inner Traditions, 2018. 187 pp, 9" H. "Merging Taoist philosophy, Hindu principles, and Confucianism along with scientific findings, Jason Gregory outlines the practice of wu-wei as a vehicle to realize our innate freedom, revealing that when we release our ego and allow life to unfold as it will, we alighn ourselves more closely with our goals and cultivate skills and mastery along the way. Equating 'being in the zone' with a stillness of mind, he shares meditation practices coupled with yoga exercises from Patanjali that allow you to approach life with a mastery of acceptance, releasing deluded beliefs of how to achieve success that make your mind 'sticky' and poised for conflict. Revealing wisdom utilized by renowned sages, artists, and athletes who have adopted 'being in the zone' as a way of life, the author shows that wu-wei can yield a renewed sense of trust in many aspects of your daily life, making each day more effortless."… Read More

Beginning with an elucidation of the nature of the mind and its role in creating the happiness we all seek, Lama Zopa Rinpoche then gives an incisive analysis of the four truths: The first truth is that we suffer because we are in cyclic existence, or 'samsara', the beginningless cycle of death and rebirth; The second truth teaches that there is a cause of all our suffering - the delusions and karma that arise from the ignorance of failing to see the way in which things exist; Because there is a cause and because we can realize emptiness - the antidote to ignorance - we are able to actualize the third truth, the cessation of suffering; The fourth truth lays out the path toward the end of suffering."

Boulder, Colorado: Snow Lion, 1997. 151 pp, 9" H. "In the whole of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition there is no single treatise more deeply revered or widely practiced than 'A Guide to the Bodhisattva Way of Life'. Composed in the eighth century by the Indian Bodhisattva Santideva, it became an instant classic in the curricula of the Buddhist monastic universities of India, and its renown has grown ever since. Santideva's presentation of the methods to harmonize one's own way of life with the Bodhisattva ideal begins with a praise of the spirit of awakening, the Bodhisattva's altruistic aspiration to achieve enlightenment for the sake of all beings. In the chapters that follow, Santideva inspires the reader to cultivate each of the six perfections that provide the basis for the Bodhisattva way of life - generosity, ethics, patience, zeal, meditative concentration and wisdom.
