Download or read book Syd Arthur written by Ellen Frankel and published by Pearlsong Press. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prince Siddhartha, raised behind palace walls and showered with every extravagance, abandoned his protected life to embark on a spiritual journey. He ultimately reached enlightenment and became known as the Buddha, which means "one who is awake." He then spent his life teaching that all have the potential to awaken... Meet Syd Arthur! Living in the cloistered world of suburbia, Syd is a middle-aged Jewish woman who is potentially awake, but likes to start her day with a strong cup of coffee, just in case. Her daughter has just left for college and her diet is once again off track. While for most of her life she's been convinced that happiness can be attained by a magic number on the bathroom scale — or a really great shopping day at Bloomingdale's—she finds herself in the grocery store with an empty cart wondering if there just might be something more. When East unexpectedly meets West, Syd embarks on a journey as a spiritual seeker. Soon she's in over her chakras as her search takes her from yoga studio to meditation hall to ashram gift store to the pages of Zensational catalogue. Her Mah Jongg group insists it's merely a midlife crisis. But nothing's going to stop Syd's journey toward Nirvana—not even the hottest sale at Nordstrom's. Follow Syd as she finds her bliss and discovers a richness that rivals a Godiva truffle, making for one delicious enlightenment. "What do you wear to the meditation center?" I had asked Montana. "I mean, when I go to temple, I usually wear a suit. Sometimes a pantsuit, but mostly a skirt and a blazer." "Okay, you definitely don't need to wear a suit, Syd. Just wear something comfortable to sit in. And I promise you Om Guru is not about the clothes. No one cares what you wear. People there are concerned about the inner you, about your journey to realize and meet the Self." I thought for a minute and then said, "So let me ask you it this way. When I meet my Self, should I meet her in country club casual or something more dressy?"

Book Synopsis Dropping Ashes on the Buddha by : Stephen Mitchell
Download or read book Dropping Ashes on the Buddha written by Stephen Mitchell and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic guide for Zen students pursuing the true way. “Somebody comes into the Zen center with a lighted cigarette, walks up to the Buddha-statue, blows smoke in its face and drops ashes on its lap. You are standing there. What can you do?” This is a problem that Zen Master Seung Sahn was fond of posing to his American students who attended his Zen centers. Dropping Ashes on the Buddha is a delightful, irreverent, and often hilariously funny living record of the dialogue between Korean Zen Master Seung Sahn and his American students. Consisting of dialogues, stories, formal Zen interviews, Dharma speeches, and letters using the Zen Master’s actual words in spontaneous, living interaction, this book is a fresh presentation of the Zen teaching method of “instant dialogue” between Master and student which, through the use of astonishment and paradox, leads to an understanding of ultimate reality.

Book Synopsis The Mind of Clover by : Robert Aitken
Download or read book The Mind of Clover written by Robert Aitken and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2015-12-15 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Taking the Path of Zen, Robert Aitken provided a concise guide to zazen (Zen meditation) and other aspects of the practice of Zen. In The Mind of Clover he addresses the world beyond the zazen cushions, illuminating issues of appropriate personal and social action through an exploration of the philosophical complexities of Zen ethics. Aitken's approach is clear and sure as he shows how our minds can be as nurturing as clover, which enriches the soil and benefits the environment as it grows. The opening chapters discuss the Ten Grave Precepts of Zen, which, Aitken points out, are "not commandments etched in stone but expressions of inspiration written in something more fluid than water." Aitken approaches these precepts, the core of Zen ethics, from several perspectives, offering many layers of interpretation. Like ripples in a pond, the circles of his interpretation increasingly widen, and he expands his focus to confront corporate theft and oppression, the role of women in Zen and society, abortion, nuclear war, pollution of the environment, and other concerns. The Mind of Clover champions the cause of personal responsibility in modern society, encouraging nonviolent activism based on clear convictions. It is a guide that engages, that invites us to realize our own potential for confident and responsible action.
Book Synopsis Buddhism and Medicine by : C. Pierce Salguero
Download or read book Buddhism and Medicine written by C. Pierce Salguero and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2017-09-26 with total page 541 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From its earliest days, Buddhism has been closely intertwined with medicine. Buddhism and Medicine is a singular collection showcasing the generative relationship and mutual influence between these fields across premodern Asia. The anthology combines dozens of English-language translations of premodern Buddhist texts with contextualizing introductions by leading international scholars in Buddhist studies, the history of medicine, and a range of other fields. These sources explore in detail medical topics ranging from the development of fetal anatomy in the womb to nursing, hospice, dietary regimen, magical powers, visualization, and other healing knowledge. Works translated here include meditation guides, popular narratives, ritual manuals, spells texts, monastic disciplinary codes, recipe inscriptions, philosophical treatises, poetry, works by physicians, and other genres. All together, these selections and their introductions provide a comprehensive overview of Buddhist healing throughout Asia. They also demonstrate the central place of healing in Buddhist practice and in the daily life of the premodern world. This anthology is a companion volume to Buddhism and Medicine: An Anthology of Modern and Contemporary Sources (Columbia, 2019).
Download or read book I Am What's Wrong written by Sheila Burke and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-10 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I imagine that at some point in your life, probably more so over the last couple of years, you have watched how hearts and minds of humanity have dipped to some really scary low points. Nastiness being flung around without a care. I'm sure you've asked, "What the heck is wrong with the world?" I have asked myself that same question and this book was born from my own research and insights. I have done a lot of inner work over the years and really considered myself a pretty damn good human. But when I took a really long, hard look at myself, it became clear I could do a lot better. The premise of I Am What's Wrong is the need for each one of us to take a closer (and honest) look at ourselves and how we interact with the world. Not only does the book encourage the reader to take an honest assessment of themselves, and how, but it offers many concrete and attainable solutions on HOW to be a better human. Life is changing all the time and change sometimes is uncomfortable. With change comes the inevitable-stress. I Am What's Wrong shows us how to adapt to life and deal with the stress it brings. Learn how to incorporate healthy habits and nurture happiness within your life. Invite change into your life by learning to be accountable for your own words and actions. Ask the important questions: "How can I make a difference?" "What can I do differently?" "How can I improve the situation?" "What can I contribute to the better health of humanity?" Figuring out the answers to these questions results in breaking down barriers and strengthens family, community, humanity, and self. Personal accountability helps us to problem solve and see each other differently. What the reader will conclude, I believe, is that although each one of us might be the problem-each one of us is also the solution. Advanced Reviews "What I really loved about this book is a sense of infinite optimism that the words are radiating. The fact that the information in it is information that when applied by us will make better in all areas of our life and also improve the quality of life both for people and animals on this beautiful green, blue planet that unfortunately many people forget is our mother and home. The book is so versatile that you can read the chapters independently which for me is very cool. If you want to feel better about yourself, if you're going to improve everyday actions that you do and know they are not quite right, if you're going to be a source of kindness around you, then this beautiful book will help you achieve it." -Michaelides Andreas, Thirsty4Life, Greece "Ms. Burke's latest title I Am What's Wrong is a tonic. It's a nicely-plotted, homespun and effective heuristic for reconnecting, and rebuilding ourselves and our relationships with each other and with the planet. The format is clear and simple. Each chapter identifies a tool useful in rejecting the book's very title! The reader is clearly-steered through short sets of practical goals to a path of engagement and connectivity with others and with the environment. If you want to be a better global citizen, a better parent or a better neighbor, you might want to investigate this book." -Avril McInally, Public Librarian, Cleveland, Ohio "In life, things are either expanding or contracting. There is no staying the same. As we get older we often contract our lives by doing more of what we are familiar and comfortable with and doing less new things. This often makes our lives smaller and more self-centered. This book gives you lots of ways you can expand your life, which after all as creative beings, is what we are supposed to do until we cease to be." -Graham Dietrich, Founder of Spiritual Humor, New South Wales/i> "Eye-opening, illuminating, and insightful. Sheila Burke's I Am What's Wrong is a terrific resource for personal growth and loaded with practical tools for change." -Karen Salmansohn, best-selling author of Think Happy
