Shambhala: The Path of the Warrior by Chogyam Trungpa
|
|
|
There is a basic human wisdom that can help solve the world’s problems. It doesn’t belong to any one culture or region or religious tradition—though it can be found in many of them throughout history. It’s what Chögyam Trungpa called the sacred path of the warrior. The sacred warrior conquers the world not through violence or aggression, but through gentleness, courage, and self-knowledge.
The warrior discovers the basic goodness of human life and radiates that goodness out into the world for the peace and sanity of others. That’s what the Shambhala teachings are all about, and this is the book that has been presenting them to a wide and appreciative audience for more than twenty years.

Thinking Like A Mountain, Towards a Council of All Beings by John Seed, Joanna Macy, Pat Fleming, and Arne Naess
|
|
|
This book of readings, meditations, rituals and workshop notes prepared on three continents helps us remember that environmental defense is nothing less than "Self" defense.
Including magnificent illustrations of Australia's rainforests, Thinking Like a Mountain provides a context for ritual identification with the natural environment, inviting us to begin a process of "community therapy" in defense of Mother Earth. It helps us experience our place in the web of life, rather than on the apex of some human-centered pyramid. An important deep ecology educational tool for activist, school and religious groups, Thinking Like a Mountain can also be used for personal reflection.

Thich Nhat Hanh's extraordinary celebration of spirituality, re-envisions prayer as an inclusive, accessible practice that transcends any particular religious or spiritual tradition, and demonstrates the power of prayer in our daily lives.
The Energy of Prayer provides Thich Nhat Hanh with an opportunity to continue his decades-long dialogue between the two great living contemplative traditions, Buddhism and Christianity, which was the central focus of his best-seller, Living Buddha, Living Christ.
The Energy of Prayer introduces five meditation exercises that will bring awareness and intention into your life. Chapters include Does Prayer Work? Two Elements of Effective Prayer, Buddhist and Christian Parallels, Daily Prayers (to be said while washing hands, brushing teeth, gardening, and throwing out the garbage, for example), and others.

12 Steps on Buddha's Path, by Laura S. (anonymous)
|
|
|
The author describes her own journey of recovery from alcoholism—an astonishing passage through strange and frightening territory—and marks out the path that allowed her to emerge from that darkness as a wise and compassionate person living a life that is joyous and free. This book is a powerful and enriching synthesis of the 12-Step recovery programs and the Noble Eightfold Path of Buddhism. It is sure to appeal to anyone touched by addiction, including those looking for new ways to understand and work with the tried-and-true 12-Step system. Tens of millions of Americans suffer from Alcoholism and other forms of dependence, and 12 Steps on Buddha's Path offers hope and help for any one of them.
Though writing anonymously out of deep respect for 12-Step policies, the author is in fact a well-known professional author, deeply involved in the recovery and meditation communities.
