ABOUT PEACE 108 Ways to be at Peace When Things Are Out of Control Scott Shaw
These are Zen meditations for modern times -- cold comfort, maybe, for some of us who might want platitudes and the promise of peacefulness being handed to us on a silver platter. Because, as Shaw points out, conflict is a part of life. Zen Buddhism was even founded in conflict. No one can give anyone else peace. Peace comes to those who seek it -- in the moment and for the moment only. The pace of lives continues to accelerate, though, with more and more demands being placed on us by both others and ourselves. This collection, aimed at gaining inner peace, is wonderfully suited to the breakneck pace of our lives today. The future is too full of work, laundry, family, and other commitments -- not to mention the unknown. The past is gone. There's no time like the present to make like the eye of the hurricane and choose to be at peace with ourselves.
The 108 meditations in this book offer a very contemporary respite from internal and external conflict. Their number and their form, however, is steeped in tradition. One-hundred-and-eight is a sacred number in Buddhism, where there is also the tradition of meditating with malas -- strung beads, which come in multiples of nine -- 27, 56, or 108.
Their form follows Buddhist tradition as well -- they're modern koans, or riddles to ponder, and dharma stories.
The teaching aspect of Agasha's manifestion-a compilation of 16 talks by Agasha and others on a variety of subjects.
This second volume of the Agashan teachings covers reincarnation, life in the ethereal world after so-called physical death, your evolutionary journey through the Cosmos, and your final manifestation as a veritable god in the great consciousness of the Pillars of Light.

ATTUNEMENTS FOR DAWN AND DUSK Music to Enhance Morning and Evening Meditation Harish Johari
Drawing upon ancient Indian ragas or musical compositions Harish Johari has created meditation music especially for the early morning and evening hours. Traditionally ragas are inspired by and reflect sounds of nature--such as birds insects rivers and wind--which change in quality depending upon the hour of the day. The CDs include Flute for Dawn ideal for meditation before sunrise. This is followed by Tambura for Morning Meditation which can be played in the early hours following sunrise. It also features Flute and Bird for Dusk incorporating actual bird calls that in nature announce the close of day. The droning sound of the tambura in the final piece Tambura Evening Meditation has sympathetic overtones that subtly influence the nervous system. The music on this two-CD set is produced on authentic Indian instruments - the flute tambura and swarmandal. The tambura produces a dull repetitive sound that includes unusual overtones capable of alleviating suffering. The organic rich tones have a soothing effect on the sympathetic nervous system internal organs endocrine glands and blood chemistry. Listening to the compositions puts us back in harmony with our natural environment regulates our moods and provides spiritual inspiration.

AUTHENTICITY Clearing the Junk: A Buddhist Perspective Venerable Yifa
Do you find yourself overwhelmed by junk? Is your house full of stuff you don't know what to do with? Do you eat too much unhealthy food? Are you involved in destructive relationships? Do you find yourself surrounded by trivialities or engaged in meaningless conversation? Do you feel there's little of value in your life?
If the answer to any of these questions is "yes," then you need to read AUTHENTICITY. Clearly and compassionately, Ven. Yifa explores junk in all its ramifications: junk food, junk stuff, junk relationships, junk communication and junk thoughts and feelings. She shows how our obsession with materialism, convenience and the fast-paced nature of our society is diminishing our ability to connect wholeheartedly with others and making it harder for us to lead authentic lives. Through consciously separating out what is junk from what is genuine, she says, and through practising right-mindedness, we can gain equanimity, clarity of purpose, true friendship and the ultimate realisation of our Buddha-nature.

BECOMING KUAN YIN The Evolution of Compassion Stephen Levine
In his long career as a poet, Buddhist teacher, spiritual advisor, and writer, Stephen Levine has changed our understanding of death and dying. In BECOMING KUAN YIN, Levine's first new book in many years, he turns to the legend of Kuan Yin, the bodhistitva venerated by East Asian Buddhists for her compassion.
In BECOMING KUAN YIN, Levine shares the tale of Miao Shan, born centuries ago to a cruel king who wanted her to marry a wealthy but uncaring man. This is the story of how Miao Shan refused to follow the path her father had in mind and, instead, became Kuan Yin, the first acknowledged female bodhisattva who is revered by millions.
Levine weaves together story and practice and helps readers discover their own infinite capacity for mercy and compassion under difficult circumstances. This book will have resonance for Kuan Yin's millions of followers as the friend of the dying and those who work with them.
"Becoming Kuan Yin follows her very difficult and remarkably beautiful path to Bodhisattva and ultimately completed Buddha nature. It is a semi-fictional tale composed of myth and the true nature of practice. She was Miao Shan, a gifted human being on an arduous merciful path, long before she came to be referenced as a celestial."—from the book

BEYOND THE CULTIC TENDENCY IN RELIGION AND IN SECULAR SOCIETY Truth For Real Series, Number 4 Ruchira Avatar Adi Da Samraj
Guru Cultism is a tendency that has always been present in the religious and spiritual traditions of mankind. Anciently and in the present time both true spiritual masters and ordinary wisdom teachers have been cultified and made the contained popular movement that worships the spiritual master as a parent-like saviour while embracing very little of the significant wisdom teaching of the spiritual master. The cultic tendency in religion and spirituality is the essence of what is wrong with conventional religion and spirituality.

BHAGAVAD GITA According to Paramhansa Yogananda Swami Kriyananda
One of the best-loved scriptures in the world, the Bhagavad Gita has been translated by many scholars and poets over thousands of years. Here is a new English language translation of this great scripture by a spiritual master.
Perhaps more than any other version, Yogananda's Bhagavad Gita captures the spiritual depth of the original. Each verse of this 18-chapter scripture is translated in sparkling modern English prose that conveys the power and the inspiration of this ancient spiritual work. Spiritual practices such as devotion, selfless service and spiritual discrimination are explained and clarified.
This treasure of a book not only represents the wisdom of the original Gita – it expresses it with poetic beauty. This is the perfect Gita for today's reader – clear, powerful, straightforward and inwardly transforming. It contains 130 pages of profound spiritual truths edited by Yogananda's direct disciple, Swami Kriyananda.
In both East and West the Bhagavad Gita-the Song of the Lord-is considered the most important work of ancient Sanskrit literature. Part of the great epic poem the Mahabharata the Bhagavad Gita tells the story of Arjuna a great warrior and prince who on the eve of battle experiences doubt and fear at the fighting to come. His charioteer however is none other than Lord Krishna who not only strengthens his heart for battle but explains to him the many paths of yoga before revealing himself in all his glory as God incarnate. The Gita has been translated into numerous languages and many commentaries have been written especially in India. In an accessible manner Wilfried Huchzermeyer and Jutta Zimmermann introduce the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita and show how it provides essential insights into the world of yoga.
