Book excerpt: The Rose and the Lotus is a compendium of explorations of two of the world's largest wisdom traditions, Sufism and Buddhism, and what the practitioners of these two approaches have in common and may have to learn from each other. It includes chapters on important teaching texts, ancient and modern and the clues they give for practice, interviews with esteemed teachers such as Shaikh Kabir Helminski, Roshi Bernie Glassman, Tibetan philosopher Geshe Sonam Rinchen, as well as memories and reflections on teachers such as Javad Nurbakhsh, Idries Shah, and Inayat Khan. It includes a new look at the mystic works of Nobel Prize winner Doris Lessing and their usefulness in contemplation practice. Yousef Daoud PhD, also published as Joe Martin, has been a practitioner of both Sufism and Buddhism. The author of eight books, he teaches meditation as well as spiritual performance practice. Though Sufism and Buddhism have long been treated as religious manifestations, in this fascinating book, Yousef Daoud (Joe) Martin places them squarely among the great wisdom traditions and explores a wide variety of topics relating to both Sufism and Buddhism. One of the most prolific authors for the journal "SUFI", he has done a real service for anyone concerned with spirituality and gnosis. -- Professor Jeffrey Rothschild, C.U.N.Y., Editor, SUFI On Rumi's MATHNAVI: A Stage Adaptation "Absolutely remarkable and memorable! It was as if I had gone to a party, and had been offered an entire pot of gourmet food ... but with every new bite I felt even hungrier [It] was endowed with a complex simplicity or a simple complexity! It was all very inspiring and enlightening ... It felt as if the actors analyzed Rumi's stories, lifting the veils one after another." --- Lida Saeedian, Author and co- translator of The Pocket Rumi On Parabola: Shorter Fictions "...through the tightly structured geometry of this metaphorically rich [work is] recognition of the search we undertake to fix a place for ourselves ... and try to make sense of a confusing, alienating and often combative world."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dorothy (of Oz) and Alice (of Wonderland) used to be lovers. But that was in the past. Sometimes though, the past has a way of coming back to haunt you. In Alice’s case, that way is a tornado summoned to snatch her from the Outside World and bring her back to Munchkinland. Alice has absolutely no intention of getting back together with Dorothy. You see, Dorothy has changed…into a pervert, a sadistic chief of the munchkin tribes, and an all around unreasonable beast! She has the audacity to ask Alice to rule by her side, keeps talking about magical sexual powers that Alice possesses… Alice wants no part of it, demands to be sent back home, and that’s when the completely unreasonable Dorothy throws Alice into some sort of twisted game that’s designed to end in a duel to the death with the Scarecrow! You wouldn’t think that would be the way Dorothy would want to woo Alice, but it is. Dorothy seems to think it’ll somehow prove how much she loves Alice, in some sort of twisted logic. See, Dorothy thinks of it as a heartfelt sacrifice of one of her favorite servants to Alice and feels that as she and Alice go through the challenges of the game together, they’ll somehow end up bonding. Alice doesn’t want to be hurt by Dorothy again and really wants nothing more to do with her. But despite all her protestations, psycho Dorothy manipulates the situation so Alice has no choice but to go along with the game. Alice wonders what she ever saw in her. She hopes she won’t end up having to kill her former crush.

Download or read book Yellow Lotus Flower written by Jen Myzel and published by Dragonfly. This book was released on 2019-07-16 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yellow Lotus Flower is a children's sing-a-long book for the soul. The story is told by the lotus herself, reminiscing on a time when she was a scared little seed, stuck in the murky depths of the pond, unsure of herself and if life would ever be different. Luckily, she encounters guides along the way, like the benevolent sun and a wise golden fish who proclaims, "there's light at the top, you've got to believe me! So grow up and up and send your roots down deep". The lotus flower lives a parallel and intertwined life with a grieving young girl. Through fear and uncertainty, they have to muster their own courage to send their roots down into the muck in order to transform into the beautiful flower and human they are meant to be. As Yellow Lotus Flower sings her song, she is joined by a symphony at the pond: a frog on guitar, singing dragonflies, turtles on drums and piano-playing newts. To conclude the epic song of her life, Yellow Lotus encourages the next generation of seeds to have faith that they too will find their way through the muck and bloom. Yellow Lotus Flower follows the simple life cycle of a flower, yet carries a deep personal and cultural message about transformation and finding our way through dark times. Author, scholar and elder, Joanna Macy, praises it as "a story for our times". Yellow Lotus Flower draws wisdom directly from the natural world and is also inspired by Buddhist teachings, offering a beacon of hope for children and parents grappling with life's inevitable challenges and transitions. "Yellow Lotus Flower, like the sun, you rise up from the darkness When tears come, your heart grows stronger, like the sun we rise up from the darkness" Yellow Lotus Flower offers an innovative multi-media experience, in which children and parents can sing along to the words of the book by downloading or streaming the Yellow Lotus Flower song, or scanning a QR code in the book. Children and parents can also find guitar chords in the back of the back, and learn how to play the song!

Life doesnt always go as planned, in fact, it rarely does; however, the greatest gift you can give yourself is faith that whatever happens actually is the plan. She closed her eyes and drifted off. At first it sounded as if someone was humming a tune outside, then she blinked open her eyes to see a hazy figure of a young man, leaning, arms folded, against the window. Who are you? she sat up, wide-eyed. She couldnt be sure, but it seemed he had some sort of wings attached to his back. He was wearing a loose grey sweatshirt, black gym pants, and had the presence of a majestic eagle. He had strong, manly features, warm brown eyes, the colour of melted chocolate, and dark, wavy hair. Wow, she thought, unreal!

Download or read book Seven Flowers written by Jennifer Potter and published by Atlantic Books Ltd. This book was released on 2013-10-03 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: **SHORTLISTED FOR THE GARDEN MEDIA AWARDS, INSPIRATIONAL BOOK OF THE YEAR** The lotus, lily, sunflower, opium poppy, rose, tulip and orchid. Seven flowers: seven stories full of surprise and secrets. Where and when did these flowers originate? What is the nature of their power and how was it acquired? What use has been made of them in gardens, literature and art? These are both histories and detective stories, full of incident, unexpected revelations, and irony. The opium poppy, for example, returned to haunt its progenitors in the West; and while Confucius saw virtue and modesty in his native orchids, the ancient Greeks saw only sex. These are flowers of life and death; of purity and passion; of greed, envy and virtue; of hope and consolation; of the beauty that drives men wild. All seven demonstrate the enduring ability of flowers to speak metaphorically - if we could only decode what they have to say.
