Download or read book The Buddha Field written by Giselle Koy and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-09-01 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a woman with a charmed life, Giselle Koy's path of the modern spiritual seeker was tricky. Based on the ancient master/disciple paradigm, she set out to find a living master. After years of searching, Giselle was invited into the Buddha Field, an exclusive underground mystery school led by a charismatic South American spiritual master. His attractive devotees became intoxicated with love and truth. Giselle's complex inner world went to battle with the master's core teaching: Through total surrender comes total freedom. For years, she was immersed in this all-encompassing secret ashram without walls where virtually every day was intensely filled with group meditations and classes, explosive personal confessions and glamorous gatherings. What Giselle didn't expect was how thoroughly the master would deconstruct her ego, transform her personality and even give her a new name. Her life bloomed into her own private 60's-style revolution within, white hot & quiet. But when a sexual scandal erupted, Giselle had to choose between continuing her devotion to her master or finding the guru within.
Book Synopsis Mahayana Buddhism by : Paul Williams
Download or read book Mahayana Buddhism written by Paul Williams and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-07-11 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originating in India, Mahayana Buddhism spread across Asia, becoming the prevalent form of Buddhism in Tibet and East Asia. Over the last twenty-five years Western interest in Mahayana has increased considerably, reflected both in the quantity of scholarly material produced and in the attraction of Westerners towards Tibetan Buddhism and Zen. Paul Williams’ Mahayana Buddhism is widely regarded as the standard introduction to the field, used internationally for teaching and research and has been translated into several European and Asian languages. This new edition has been fully revised throughout in the light of the wealth of new studies and focuses on the religion’s diversity and richness. It includes much more material on China and Japan, with appropriate reference to Nepal, and for students who wish to carry their study further there is a much-expanded bibliography and extensive footnotes and cross-referencing. Everyone studying this important tradition will find Williams’ book the ideal companion to their studies.
Book Synopsis Gleanings in Buddha Field by : Lafcadio Hearn
Download or read book Gleanings in Buddha Field written by Lafcadio Hearn and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2012-07-17 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic text about Buddhism in Japan by Lafcadio Hearn--on of the first Westerns to write about Japan--will be of great interests to scholars and Japanophiles alike. Lafcadio Hearn's books continue to charm and captivate readers, as the exotic subjects about which he wrote charmed and captivated him. Gleanings In Buddha-Fields presents more Hearn magic as he enters into the spirit of Buddhism as though he were born into it. Hearn says that if he were a god, dwelling in some old Izumo shrine on the summit of a hill, then "as air to the bird, as water to the fish, so would all substance be permeable to the essence of me. I should pass at will into the walls of my dwelling to swim in the long gold bath of a sunbeam, to thrill in the heart of a flower, to ride on the neck of a dragonfly." He writes of a trip to Kyoto, telling of hazy autumn rice fields, with dragonflies darting over the drooping grain; maples crimsoning above a tremendous gorge; ranges of peaks steeped in morning mist; and a peasant's cottage perched on the verge of some dizzy mountain road.

Book Synopsis Field-Being Interpretation of Buddhist Philosophy by : Albert Shansky
Download or read book Field-Being Interpretation of Buddhist Philosophy written by Albert Shansky and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-09-29 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buddhism is a religion despite the negative attitude of some in the West, who espouse that since it has no god, it is atheistic and, therefore, cannot be a religion. A religion is a unified system of beliefs and practices that unite into one single moral community. A. N. Whitehead fortified this definition by saying, Religion is what the individual does with his own solitariness. Buddhism satisfies these definitions by guiding the individual in self-reliance and introspection rather than entreaty to an unseen god or spirit. It is hoped that the nine essays in this book depict situations where a set of symbolic forms and acts relate man to the ultimate condition of his existence. The essays in this book have been written between the years of 1998 and 2000 while Albert Shansky, the author, was executive vice president of the International Institute of Field-Being at Fairfield University.

Book Synopsis Business and the Buddha by : Lloyd M. Field
Download or read book Business and the Buddha written by Lloyd M. Field and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2007-11-28 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All businesses want to do well, but can they also do good? Lloyd Field says yes, and moreover, no business can afford to focus simply on "doing well." Increasingly, public assessment of a business's worth must take into account its consideration of shared human values. That doesn't mean a business can't or should not compete; it means that investing in efforts to build a better society can, on many levels, be an asset. In this book, Field lays out the guidelines for putting social responsibility, both corporate and individual, into practice without sacrificing profits. Drawing from traditional Buddhist teachings, Field shows how, with attention to ethics, skillful means, and corporate responsibility, entrepreneurs and decision-makers can achieve new levels of happiness and security both inside the company and out, while acting as a powerful force for positive global change.
