Written by Wayne Liquorman with characteristic humor, irreverence, and profound insight, this audiobook provides a bold new look at the nature of existence. If one wants to remain in the moment, what does one do about the mind? Never mind! The mind does what the mind does. It is working and functioning perfectly, doing exactly what it has been designed and programmed to do. The audiobook hammers away at the basic misconceptions that bring about human suffering - I could have and should have done it differently, I am flawed, I am the author of my thoughts, feelings, and actions.

The Tao Te Ching is a series of meditations on the mysterious nature of the Tao—the Way, the guiding light, the very source of all existence.

ജപ്പാന്‍കാരെ സംബന്ധിച്ച്, എല്ലാവര്‍ക്കും ഒരു ഇക്കിഗായ് ഉണ്ട് - അതായത്, ജീവിക്കാന്‍ ഒരു കാരണം. ലോകത്തില്‍ ഏറ്റവുമധികം ദീര്‍ഘായുസ്സോടെ ആളുകള്‍ ജീവിക്കുന്ന ആ ജപ്പാന്‍ ഗ്രാമത്തിലുളളവരുടെ അഭിപ്രായത്തില്‍, ആഹ്‌ളാദത്തോടെ ഏറെക്കാലം ജീവിക്കാനുള്ള ഏറ്റവും പ്രധാന വഴി, ആ ഇക്കിഗായിയെ കണ്ടുപിടിക്കലാണ്. ഇക്കിഗായിയെക്കുറിച്ച് നന്നായി മനസ്സിലാക്കുന്നതിലൂടെ - അതായത്, അഭിനിവേശവും ജീവിതദൗത്യവും പ്രവൃത്തികളും തൊഴിലുമെല്ലാം പരസ്പരം വിഭജിക്കപ്പെടുന്നിടത്ത് - ഓരോ ദിനവും അര്‍ഥനിര്‍ഭരമാക്കാന്‍ കഴിയും. രാവിലെ എഴുന്നേല്‍ക്കാനുള്ള ഒരു കാരണമായി അത് മാറും.

كانت ليلة باردة من شهر ديسمبر في كيوتو؛ عاصمة اليابان القديمة. سرت بالدراجة عبر الظلام الدامس إلى شورين-إن؛ وهو معْلم روحي صغير بعيد عن المسار السياحي المعروف، يقع عند سفح جبال هيجاشياما.كانت حدائق المبنى في تلك الليلة تضيئها إضاءة خافتة تلقي خيوطًا غامضة على أشجار الصنوبر التي تبدو كالظلال وبساتين الخيزران الخرافية. خلعت حذائي وخطوت على أرضية تلمع بقوة عمرها يتجاوز ثمانمائة عام، داستها ملايين الأقدام، ومسحتها العديد من الأردية الطويلة. كانت ألواح الأرضية العريضة، المرقطة والداكنة من تتابع السنين، قد استخدمت من قبل في...

Van Norden’s Introduction to Classical Chinese Philosophy is evidently of increasing importance in balancing our 21st century view of philosophy in general. It is to Van Norden’s regret, that when ‘philosophy’ is discussed or taught, it is almost always in the context of ‘Western Philosophy’ rather than a global perspective. Yet the contribution of China to global thought and understanding is crucial, especially in our contemporary context.

For more than two thousand years, The Art of War has stood as a cornerstone of Chinese culture, a lucid epigrammatic text that reveals as much about human psychology, politics, and economics as it does about battlefield strategy.

In Meri Gita, acclaimed mythologist Devdutt Pattanaik demystifies The Bhagavad Gita for the contemporary listener. His unique approach - thematic rather than verse-by-verse - makes the ancient treatise eminently accessible.In a world that seems spellbound by argument over dialogue, vi-vaad over sam-vaad, Devdutt highlights how Krishna nudges Arjuna to understand rather than judge his relationships. This becomes relevant today when we are increasingly indulging and isolating the self.

Using the teachings and advice presented by beloved Buddhist teacher Thubten Chodron, anyone can learn to calm their emotions, sit with and understand their anger, and peacefully move toward resolution and peace.
