Book Synopsis Ornament of the Great Vehicle Sutras by : Maitreya
Download or read book Ornament of the Great Vehicle Sutras written by Maitreya and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2014-11-11 with total page 1040 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Buddhist masterpiece Ornament of the Great Vehicle Sūtras, often referred to by its Sanskrit title, Mahāyānasūtrālaṃkāra, is part of a collection known as the Five Maitreya Teachings, a set of philosophical works that have become classics of the Indian Buddhist tradition. Maitreya, the Buddha’s regent, is held to have entrusted these profound and vast instructions to the master Asaṅga in the heavenly realm of Tuṣita. The Ornament provides a comprehensive description of the bodhisattva’s view, meditation, and enlightened activities. Bodhisattvas are beings who, out of vast love for all sentient beings, have dedicated themselves to the task of becoming fully awakened buddhas, capable of helping all beings in innumerable and vast ways to become enlightened themselves. To fully awaken requires practicing great generosity, patience, energy, discipline, concentration, and wisdom, and Maitreya’s text explains what these enlightened qualities are and how to develop them. This volume includes commentaries by Khenpo Shenga and Ju Mipham, whose discussions illuminate the subtleties of the root text and provide valuable insight into how to practice the way of the bodhisattva. Drawing on the Indian masters Vasubandhu and, in particular, Sthiramati, Mipham explains the Ornament with eloquence and brilliant clarity. This commentary is among his most treasured works.
Book Synopsis The Gospel of Leadership by : Ryan Krupa
Download or read book The Gospel of Leadership written by Ryan Krupa and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2018-09-21 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an odyssey into the truth of leadership’s nature and essence. Written for aspiring leaders, teachers of leaders, and followers, the aim is to practice awakening a leader’s potential. The book mirrors and reflects the inner nature of the leadership journey. It is written in a contemplative style and uses dialogue to exercise a leader’s will, intelligence, and spirit. The techniques taught in these chapters are dialogue, meditation, and contemplation. The author seeks to teach leaders how to exercise the power of will and the power of intelligence to make the kinetic chain of knowing, willing, and acting morally and intellectually strong. Reading this book serves as a leadership development exercise. This book is a teaching tool designed to demystify what takes place in the interior nature of a leader. It examines a leader’s soul, as it is exercised and strengthened in preparation for the cardinal act of leading, and it analyzes the act of making practical judgments, an act that demands the cultivation of a discerning mind to see and know the truth to be acted upon. Based on a true story, these chapters are a reflection on the formation of a leader and a realization of twenty years of research. The author studies the question: What does it take to develop a leader? Deliberations on eight years of guiding leaders on moral and intellectual quests in search of true freedom are revealed.

Download or read book Schizophrenia written by Gillian Steggles and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-04-01 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Schizophrenia: A Contemporary Introduction provides a vital overview of psychoanalytic work with patients dealing with schizophrenia, highlighting the many benefits of this approach and introducing key methods for mental health practitioners. This concise introductory volume starts by offering a brief historical introduction to how psychoanalysts, from Freud onwards, have approached schizophrenia and the methods they have used to alleviate the distress it causes its sufferers. Gillian Steggles illustrates how the developing relationship between patient and analyst can positively impact the patient’s mental functioning, leading to an improvement in their overall health and the ability to regain independence and self-reliance. She introduces theoretical psychoanalytic approaches, such as the Psychodynamic Pentapointed Cognitive Construct (PPCC) model, as a means of offering guidance to analysts dealing with schizophrenic analysands. This book will be of interest to practicing and trainee analysts, as well as those interested in the history of schizophrenia and its continued impact.

Book Synopsis Aquinas on God by : Dr Rudi te Velde

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aquinas on God presents an accessible exploration of Thomas Aquinas' conception of God.

Readers interested in Aquinas, historical theology, metaphysics and metaphysical discourse on God in the Christian tradition will find this new contribution to the studies of Aquinas invaluable.
Book Synopsis Another Chance by : Robin Sacredfire
Download or read book Another Chance written by Robin Sacredfire and published by 22 Lions. This book was released on 2013-07-02 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is probably one of the most powerful books you will ever read, far beyond what the law of attraction and many other secrets about karmic structures and energetic frequencies can unveil to you.Within this book you will find a clear answer to questions everyone is asking: Where's my money? Who has my money? Why can't I be rich? If you ever wondered why the Illuminati, the Freemasons and Scientology are among the most profitable organizations in the world, and what do they know that was also known by the Knights Templar, then you must continue with this reading.This book will explain why you have been struggling all your life to make money but you've never abandoned the condition of slavery, working for food and a roof over your head, why one third of the world lives in extreme poverty and why only a small percentage of the 7 billion people living in our planet hold the entire abundance within their families.This book may not change the world or everyone that reads it and you will understand from the reading why it is so difficult for you to be rich, and how you've been programmed to be poor since a very early stage in life.You will also understand through this reading the relation between your family, your emotions, your past life experiences and also your own auric vibrations.This is the biggest Gnostic secret you will ever know and it can change your life dramatically.How can I be so sure about it? Five years ago I was completely broke and nearly homeless. Today I drink coconut in the Philippines and write this book for you, while living the life I was told I would never have.
