Sons of the Buddha: The Early Lives of Three Extraordinary Thai Master
New
Sons of the Buddha: The Early Lives of Three Extraordinary Thai Master
A thrilling spiritual biography--or rather, three in one--Sons of the Buddha is an excellently written, transcendent account of an all-but-lost Thailand and the early lives of three of its most prominent Buddhist teachers.Filled with lively anecdotes and illustrations, Sons of the Buddha tells the early life stories of three master Buddhist preachers from Thailand, each of whom also has followings in North America. Ajahn Buddhadasa (1906-93), Ajahn Panya (b. 1911), and Ajahn Jumnien (b. 1936), all monks and abbots of monasteries, have been highly influential in Thai society and tireless in their work and teaching.A preacher must have common sense, know how to turn everyday life experience into Dharma lessons, and be able to accurately assess the needs of his audience. Sons of the Buddha shows how three boys evolved into remarkable embodiments of the "preacher" ideal. Each would effect changes in moral attitudes and Dharma practices, restore Buddhism's social dimension, bridge the divide separating laypeople and monastics, and champion an openmindedness toward other religions. In these delightful stories-full of local color-we see what it was that led them to become so fearless and influential

The Compassionate Life
“The key to a happier and more successful world is the growth of compassion.”—His Holiness the Dalai Lama
Giving and receiving affection is the key to happiness, and compassion is the key that opens our hearts to affection. Illuminating themes touched upon in The Good Heart and The Art of Happiness, this generous and gentle book contains some of the most beloved teachings on compassion that the Dalai Lama has ever offered. Touching and transformative, The Compassionate Life is a personal invitation from one of the world’s most gifted teachers to live a life of happiness, joy, and true prosperity.
Collected here for the first time are four of the Dalai Lama’s most accessible and inspiring teachings on compassion. The purpose of life is to be happy, His Holiness reminds us. To be happy, we should devote ourselves to developing our own peace of mind; the more we care for the happiness of others, the greater our own peace of mind. Therefore, we must develop compassion for others in order to be truly happy.
In these four teachings—imbued with the gentle humor and extraordinary kindness of this incomparable teacher—His Holiness explores altruism and the need for compassion on an individual as well as a global scale. He offers specific practices for developing loving-kindness and compassion in even the most difficult situations.

Footprints In The Dust
It might be true to say that there are two Buddhas the Buddha of legend and popular imagination, and the Buddha of history. The first of these started to appear four or five centuries after the Buddha’s passing in response to devotes’ desire to know more about the man they admired so much and whose Dhamma guided their lives. The second Buddha is the one depicted in the Pali Tipitaka, the most ancient records we have of him and what he taught. Many people will be surprised to discover that there is a considerable difference between the two. The 1 legends are colourful, engaging, and sometimes fantastic, whereas the Buddha of history and the Tipitaka is more down-to-earth-spiritually extraordinary but still humano In this book, the author carefully assembles everything the Tipitaka says about the Buddha as a person his appearance, habits and daily routine, how he responded to criticism, his travels, his method of teaching, and much more. The result is a fascinating and very different portrait of how the great man is usually understood.
