Thich Nhat Hanh
The practice of mindfulness, Thich Nhat Hanh teaches, is like the power of the sun. It allows you to illuminate the aspects of your life that are in darkness. Instead of suppressing anger, fear, and guilt, mindfulness welcomes all experience into the space of awareness. The Art of Mindful Living is Thich Nhat Hanh's most popular recording about how to bring mindful awareness into all aspects of daily life. Recorded with amazing clarity on state-of-the-art digital equipment, these rare moments were gathered during a family meditation retreat. Kind - purposeful - illuminating - here is an abundant treasure of traditional gathas(teachings) that unify meditation practice with the challenges we face in our world today. Highly recommended.

Lama Surya Das
Lama Surya Das is the most highly trained American lama in the Tibetan tradition. The 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.

He explains the key principles embodied in the Eight-Fold Path and the Three Enlightenment Trainings common to all schools of Buddhism: Wisdom Training - Developing clear vision, insight, and inner understanding - seeing reality and ourselves as we really are. Ethics Training - Cultivating virtue, self-discipline, and compassion in what we say and do. Meditation Training - Practicing mindfulness, concentration, and awareness of the present moment.

Will Johnson
The psychological model of Buddhism and the therapeutic development of Ida Rolf converge in this unusual book. Though the two systems originated in altogether different times and places, the author sees them as having each developed into the position of working together in an intertwined and inevitable linkage, and relates the ways in which they already begun this integration.

Christopher Titmuss
The Buddha taught a down-to-earth wisdom. Even though he lived 2500 years ago, his teachings remain deeply relevant. Through reflecting on the Buddha's wisdom and advice, we will open our minds to fresh insights. We may begin to shake off our conditioningand to make revolutionary changes in our personal, social, political and spiritual lives. According to Christopher Titmuss, the beneficial influence of the Buddha falls into three primary areas: non harming, meditation and wisdom. By taking apt quotations from the vast number of talks (over 10,000) which the Buddha gave during his 45 years of teaching, Titmuss offers one thought-provoking excerpt for each day of the year - and so helps illuminate these three important themes.This is a book readers will want to keep for many years, and dip into time and again.

Tsultrim Allione
Within the ancient teachings of Tibetan Buddhism lies a meditation tradition for facing - and dissolving - our greatest fears and attachments in life. Now one of contemporary Buddhism's most experienced and respected teachers, Tsultrim Allione, adapts this practice to the challenges unique to our time, on Cutting through Fear. Based on the traditional Tibetan practice of Chöd (literally "to cut"), this method was developed by a legendary Tibetan yogini, Machig Lapdron, almost 1,000 years ago and is practiced within all schools of Tibetan Buddhism. To this day, Chöd is still used in Tibet to treat mental and physical illness and as a path to awareness. On Cutting through Fear, Tsultrim Allione shares the fascinating history of this practice, and interprets it especially for Western students of meditation and psychology. Drawing from root visualization practices, Tsultrim Allione shares a four-step process that can help you meet and release what the ancient Tibetans called "demons" - the fears, obsessions, illnesses, and hopes that can be faced and dissolved with this powerful meditation technique.

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 both inside and all around us. In these lively and penetrating commentaries, Hanh shows how this understanding leads to a reverence for the environment and applies these teachings to community and family life, couple relationships, and social service.

Garma Chang
This book is a concentrated introduction to the mental, physical and spiritual exercises of Tibetan Buddhism, emphasising the practice of Yoga exercises. The key to its understanding is the learning of Dumo - the generating of internal heat in one’s body. Dumo’s special meaning for Tibetan Yoga flows from the profoundly anti-ascetic and anti-pessimistic doctrine of Tantric Buddhism. The author means precisely what he says when he explains that opposites are also inseparable unities and that the best example of this is that the human body-mind can be made into the body of a "Buddha." Equally, sexual bliss can become divine bliss.

Mark Epstein
Traditional distinctions between matters of the mind and matters of the spirit are increasingly being questioned, and people are searching for alternate perspectives on these issues. Here Epstein argues that the contemplative traditions of the East can be extremely beneficial to patients, not just in helping them recognise their problems, but by giving them the strength to heal.
