Download or read book The Stories of the Lotus Sutra written by Gene Reeves and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Lotus Sutra" is one of the world's great religious scriptures and most influential texts. It has been a seminal work in the development of Buddhism throughout East Asia and, by extension in the development of Mahayana Buddhism throughout the world. Taking place in a vast and fantastical cosmic setting, the Lotus Sutra places emphasis on skillfully doing whatever is needed to serve and compassionately care for others, on breaking down sharp distinctions between the ideals of the fully enlightened buddha and the bodhisattva who vows to postpone personal salvation until all beings may share it together, and especially on each and every being's innate capacity to become a buddha.

Book Synopsis Barlaam and Josaphat by : Gui de Cambrai
Download or read book Barlaam and Josaphat written by Gui de Cambrai and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-02-25 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new translation of the most popular Christian tale of the Middle Ages, which springs from the story of the Buddha. When his astrologers foretell that his son Josaphat will convert to Christianity, the pagan King Avenir confines him to a palace, allowing him to know only the pleasures of the world, and to see no illness, death, or poverty. Despite the king's precautions, the hermit Barlaam comes to Josaphat and begins to teach the prince Christian beliefs through parables. Josaphat converts to Christianity, angering his father, who tries to win his son back to his religion before he, too, converts. After his father's death, Josaphat renounces the world and lives as a hermit in the wilderness with his teacher Barlaam. Long attributed to the eighth-century monk and scholar, St. John of Damascus, Barlaam and Josaphat was translated into numerous languages around the world. Philologists eventually traced the name Josaphat as a derivation from the Sanskrit bodhisattva, the Buddhist term for the future Buddha, highlighting this text as essential source reading for connections between several of the world’s most popular religions. The first version to appear in modern English, Peggy McCracken’s highly readable translation reintroduces a classic tale and makes it accessible once again. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Book excerpt: This book is enlightening, transformative, and empowering! "Debbie, I just finished your book and was floored by it. You are so very in sync with life and its secrets worth sharing. You inspire me! You have taken choice pieces of Kundalini Yoga Philosophy, AA Philosophy, Buddhism, Spirituality and common sense and woven them...Dixonized them...into an explosion of inspiration and motivation that is accessible to the layman. Well done Debbie!" Michael Uslan- Author of "The Boy Who loved Batman" & producer of the Batman movies.The Path to Freedom, is not your typical self-help, guru book. This book is a raw, real, honest, guide that will open the door to transformation within whoever reads it. In unflinching detail Debbie recounts how emotional and sexual abuse as a small child scarred her psyche, ultimately sending her on a downward spiral of survival. By the age of fifteen she was on the streets and by seventeen she had a son. Driven by fear she was easy prey for those people who stood to profit from her. The school of life had taught her how to survive; stealing, working the streets and selling her body was all she knew. However, one night in jail would change her life forever.In Debbie's words..."I pulled myself out of the darkness and climbed up the mountain of joy and I often looked back and wondered, "Why was I able to free my?" My curiosity continued to grow, leaving me in a constant state of wonder about humans and our capability. This wonder has led me to the feet of many masters and hundreds of books as I searched for answers. Over the last twenty-two years, I have immersed myself in self-inquiry through the practices of yoga and meditation, and about fourteen years ago, I made the transition from student to teacher. As a teacher, I saw people embarking on the climb up the same mountain I had once scaled, and I was able to assist them on their path. I have been to the place that most never return whole from, and I have brought back a message I must share. These pages hold that message. I intend to show you a story of triumph over the confines of jail, drugs, pain, and fear, from despair to pure and abundant joy.Having transcended this dark world and discovered a magical formula that allows me to stand in the very same shoes, in the very same location, and see a whole different world-a world of beauty and love, compassion and kindness, everywhere I look-I chose to write this book with the prayer that you will witness my journey and watch your world change right in front of your eyes! This isn't a book to teach you how to increase your income or raise your status. This book will give you something far more valuable --freedom.
