Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. It's possible for anyone to attain spiritual happiness. Spiritual happiness, enlightenment, awareness, whatever we wish to call it, isn't only available to a select few individuals such as monks, saints, and priests. A clear understanding of our life and its purpose leads to such awareness. The teachings in this book are very much philosophical-not a series of "how to" lessons-and require a certain degree of focus and concentration to absorb and realize for yourself. The more you study these chapters, the better will be your understanding of how to experience your precious life as more than a parade of mundane events. Inner peace isn't a state of not caring or not trying, or being blissed out and oblivious. It's the source of our strength and power. This book is meant to assist you in recognizing and experiencing this power. When our mind is tranquil and clear, our thinking, problem-solving skills, and focus vastly improve. We're able to handle our affairs without stress and anxiety. James Allen says, "The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater is his success, his influence, his power for good. Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom." Without a basic understanding of wisdom, the teachings in this book may puzzle you a bit. To acquire wisdom, we must try to lead a disciplined and reflective life, interact with positive-minded people, show benevolence to others, engage in charitable activities-no matter how small-and desire to purify our mind. Once we attain such a pattern in our life, we feel the presence of God directing our thoughts and actions. We feel His guidance in all our endeavors, irrespective of whether we perceive success or failure. We stop blaming or passing the buck to anyone, because we know we've done our best and we mustn't be attached to the outcome. If we perceive (in our limited, human understanding) that things didn't turn out as we'd hoped, we say, "God has been kind enough to bring a fruitful outcome, even though I may see at as failure." With a willingness to learn from our mistakes, combined with leading a disciplined life enriched by a strong spiritual fervor, it won't be difficult for you to acquire wisdom and experience true, spiritual happiness. You'll seek and discover the truth about the purpose of your life and how to use your gifts for the benefit of all beings. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. We generally live for ourselves. Can we live for others and serve them so they find a way out of their distress and become happy? This is the core theme of this book. Mind, the protagonist undertakes the journey to the Celestial City to obtain divine blessings. The book, which is a melding of Christian and Hindu thoughts, is a metaphor of the Bible. During his journey, Mind encounters many obstacles in the form of individuals he meets. Passion, the daughter of Knowledgeable, tries to seduce him. Lucifer beats him mercilessly just because he encroaches on his territory. Mind also comes across Mounibaba, a self-proclaimed religious preacher, who is engaged in all types of heinous activities including looting and killing people, all the while preaching that this is the part of Puja. Transcending all the set-backs and assaults, Mind ultimately reaches the Celestial City and achieves liberation. Abiding in pure consciousness, he returns to his home town and begins benevolent work for the people. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. This book brings together teachings by Buddhist masters and lamas about practices that can be done for or involving animals that will benefit both the animals and the people doing the practices for them. The teachings in this book are meant for Buddhists and nonBuddhists alike and are derived from interviews and oral teachings of masters and lamas teaching today as well as from written texts by Shakyamuni Buddha, Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye, Jamyang Namgyal Gyamtso, Patrul Rinpoche, Shabkar Tsogdruk Rangdrol, and other historical masters. These practices range from refraining from eating meat to ransoming and releasing animals destined for slaughter or sacrifice. Lamas interviewed include Anam Thubten, Chagdud Khadro, Jigme Tromge Rinpoche, Kentrul Lodro T'haye Rinpoche, Lama Padna Norbu, and the late Venerable Lama Gyatso Nubpa. Teachings include those by the late H.H. Chadral Sangye Dorje Rinpoche; His Holiness, the Fourteenth Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso; the late Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye; Sogyal Rinpoche; Thich Nhat Hanh; and the late Venerable Lama Gyatso Nubpa. "May all beings benefit" is a phrase found everywhere in Buddhism. When one has a genuinely beneficial thought or performs a truly beneficial action, one dedicates the merit created by that thought or action by saying, "May all beings benefit." The purpose of generating good heart, good thought, and good action is not primarily to become a better person oneself but to enhance the goodness and survival of the planet and all its inhabitants. The soul of this book is summed up in this beautiful statement by Anam Thubten: "There is only one species in this universe and that is the species of sentient beings." All beings are our relatives as offspring of the Earth, and, for this reason, we cultivate awareness of our interconnectedness and practice loving kindness. These are not just nice things to do, they are essential to the continued existence of our world. Awareness of and appreciation for our fellow creatures, whether they be our beloved dog or a spider living in the corner of the basement, expands our ability to be of benefit to all beings. The universe and all its beings were created by a wisdom vastly greater than the sum of human intelligence, and we have almost completely lost our appreciation for this creation in this age of technology, aggression, and speed. To return our attention and mindfulness to something other than man-made wonders is a key to discovering our salvation. To become aware of the suffering of creatures other than human beings will enhance our ability to be of greater benefit to ourselves. This item is printed on demand.
