Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Garden Meditation-Cultivating Peace is a humorous and inspiring book of 320 pages about life, gardening and meditation. It uniquely presents Buddhist teachings within a garden context, using gardening analogies to highlight the natural aspect of that gentle tradition. Authored by a Buddhist monk and keen gardener it offers a stimulating read. For those looking to delve deeper simple meditations are presented at the end of each chapter. 160 colour photos illustrate the text. Gardening is a cultivation of the external environment, meditation of the internal environment. A vibrant garden full of healthy plants depends on first removing the rocks and weeds, then enriching the soil with plenty of organic matter. Likewise in meditation we remove causes of unhappiness, such as anger, worry, loneliness and depression, and cultivate a more joyful and compassionate approach to life. Then all enlightened qualities can flourish. In the darkness of winter a rose bed appears just a bunch of thorny sticks, giving no sign of the potential held inside. However when nurtured by warmth and spring rains, a glorious range of colour and perfume emerges. Likewise when feeling a bit bleak and thorny oneself, dissatisfaction and irritation so easily arising, we have no inkling of the potential for enlightenment that lies within. But through the inspiration of age old spiritual teachings, gradually come the happiness, love, insight and peace we have long missed. This book sets out a series of small steps along the way.

Thank you, Stephanie, for showing me that living out of control so that God may be in control is the only way to move forward." -Kristen Meyers, inspirational speaker and teacher and author of Coffee with the Savior

Download or read book The Path to Peace written by Ayya Khema and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2022-07-19 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beloved Buddhist nun Ayya Khema expertly guides the reader through ten meditations on generating loving-kindness and cultivating the fifteen wholesome qualities necessary for igniting compassion and boundless love. Having escaped Nazi Germany in 1938, Ayya Khema has singularly profound perspective on creating peace, unconditional love, and compassion. She gently teaches that inner peace is not necessarily natural or innate. Instead, peace should be considered a skill that needs intentional practice—every day. Peace is the sum of many parts, namely the fifteen wholesome qualities the Buddha himself noted in the Metta Sutta, including usefulness, mildness, humility, contentment, receptivity, and others. Ayya Khema expertly guides us through each individual condition, using her trademark humor and personal narrative, to help each reader shape their own path to self-transformation. The second part of the book includes an eye-opening discussion of metta (loving-kindness) as both a morality and concentration practice, as well as ten meditation practices that use visualizations rather than more traditional mantra repetition. These visualizations include your heart as a "Fountain of Love," reaching those close to you and those far away, and a "Flower Garden," where we tend to the blooms in our hearts through love and compassion and share them with others. Edited by her student and retreat leader, Leigh Brasington, this book is a complete course in practical ways to calm and brighten our minds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mindfulness in the Garden offers simple mindfulness verses (gathas) composed to connect the mind and body and to bring the reader/gardener’s awareness to the details of the present moment as they work in the garden. These gathas are signposts leading to nature, to the present, and ultimately to one’s self through the love and understanding they evoke. The gathas offered with each gardening activity serves to water the seeds of mindfulness within us, and softening and preparing the ground for our ability to be present. Mindfulness in the Garden values weeds as important messengers seeking to bring into close communion our spiritual nature with that of the environment. It likens spiritual practice to cultivating a garden and inspires each person to accept themselves and start where they are, weeds and all. Through the practice of mindful gardening, we invite not only the thriving of the natural world but also the flowering and beauty of the pure land of our true self to emerge. Features black and white botanical illustrations throughout.

Book excerpt: A simple, inspirational book that encourages the practice of mindfulness while in nature to help you find peace, healing, and happiness. This transformational guide encourages spiritual awareness and helps the reader to open their eyes to the beauty in their surroundings. Do you desire a quiet moment in this noisy world? If you answered yes, then this motivational book based on Zen philosophy will help you to practice mindfulness and promote a sense of peace, healing, and happiness even if you have never practiced Buddhism. Regardless of your spiritual beliefs, we all need time to be quiet and clear our minds from the noise pollution of this fast-paced world in which we live. There are days when peace seems unattainable and stress rules every second of our days. The accumulation of stress has negative consequences on our physical, spiritual, and mental health. "Zen in the Garden" will help you to slow down and begin to see those beautiful little moments in your surrounding environment. You don't need to go off on some long journey to find your guru in a remote cave in the Andes in order to experience spirituality and enlightenment. You can find it right outside your front door in your own garden. In this inspirational little book you will discover: Motivational anecdotes that help you remember the importance of connecting with nature to encourage health and healing. Beautiful photographs from an award-winning photographer to help you lose yourself in beauty. Nature challenges to encourage you to venture out and find that sense of peace. Gardening tips to help you create your own peaceful Zen space right at your home. Quieting the mind In this fast paced world it's easy to get swept up in our stressful lives and become blinded to the beauty that surrounds us. When we make the conscious choice to slow down and breathe, our minds relax and we become grounded in spiritual awareness. Nature has many gifts to give us if we open our eyes so we can see and quiet our minds long enough to listen. Nature and the human soul This little book is about nature and the human soul. It is about healing the body, healing the heart and spirituality. It is about finding a balance to alleviate the stress that affects our health. It provides motivational reflections, inspirational photographs, gardening tips, and nature challenges to help the reader slow down and breathe in the beauty of each moment. Why I wrote Zen in the Garden I am not some New-age guru who spent years writing a transformational book filled with the secrets of the ages. Instead, I am a woman who has lived a stressful life and suffered the health consequences of that life. I created this book after several months of treatment for skin cancer. The experience forced me to slow down and reevaluate what is most important in my life. Ever since childhood I have loved to spend time in nature. It has been an important source of healing, peace, and spirituality when the world around me became ugly and stressful. Whether I climb a mountain peak or get my hands dirty while planting flowers in my garden, nature grounds me, promotes spiritual awareness, and reminds me of the beauty that exists when I choose to open my eyes to it. What I hope for you My hope in sharing my photographs and words is they will cause you to pause for a moment in your own busy lives and remind you to embrace the little things each day. My wish is you will be moved to take the time to reconnect with nature and find your way back to the earth from where all life springs and to where all life will ultimately reach its end. No matter your spiritual beliefs, the Zen philosophy of mindfullness while in nature, has the transformational power to promote spiritual awareness and will help you find peace, healing, and happiness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Teach, Breathe, Learn, Meena Srinivasan highlights how mindfulness can be an effective tool in the classroom. What makes this book truly unique is her perspective as a classroom teacher, wrestling daily with the conditions about which she writes. "Teach, Breathe, Learn provides accessible, practical application of mindfulness to overcome challenges faced during the school day." Testimonials from students and colleagues are woven throughout the book. Teach, Breathe, Learn is designed for educators at all levels, parents interested in sharing mindfulness with their children, and anyone curious about how to cultivate their own mindfulness practice and eventually teach mindfulness to others. Part 1 helps teachers develop compassion and shift from "reacting" to "responding" to demands. Part 2 offers techniques for cultivating loving-kindness, gratitude and seeing students, colleagues, and parents as oneself. The last section of the book introduces a curriculum teachers can use to incorporate mindfulness into their classroom, replete with lesson plans, handouts, and homework assignments.
