Cultivating Inner Peace by Dr. Paul Fleischman

A$ 36.00

This newly released book from Dr. Paul Fleischman examines the factors involved in cultivating that elusive human quality: inner peace. The author holds up examples of people who have inspired him in his personal quest for harmony and happiness. Life sketches of such diverse exemplars as Helen and Scott Nearing, the Shakers, Walt Whitman, Gandhi, John Muir, Thoreau and Rabindranath Tagore demonstrate that it is a dispassionate equipoise in the face of everyday suffering that leads to inner peace. His ultimate example is an autobiographical account of his own experience with his practice of Vipassana. The final chapter of the book is a compelling appeal to all people to walk the path of peace as a way of healing the earth itself. 300 pages Published by Vipassana Publications of America ISBN 1-928706-25-8

Moon Appears When the Water is Still, The by Ian McCrorie

A$ 25.00

Reflections of the Dhamma Culled from the Buddha's teaching, contemporary literature, and the author's own life lessons, this book is a gently humorous, powerful yet sweet gathering of story-poems, offered as a help when read or recalled at the time when they are most needed. Those practicing meditation may find refreshment, joy and a challenge to apply their practice in daily life; others may find an observant and empathetic voice in these lines. In India I came upon a beggar woman covered in dust and grime seated at the side of the road. Someone had given her a plate of food which had attracted a mangy and growling mad dog. He too was hungry And without hesitation she shared her only food with him. He ate and then lay down at her feet. Locked in their respective kammas there was still room for kindness. And if I could speak her language (I spoke unilingual affluence and she all the dialects of abject poverty) I would beg her to tell me how her heart can shine so brightly beneath the dust of her life. Ian McCrorie has traveled the world, studied with renowned teachers, lived as a recluse in meditation, and returned to the householder?s life. He and his wife live in Ottawa, Ontario. Slowing down and attending to just this breath allows the reality of Now to reveal its nature. Published by: Pariyatti Press Publication Date: May 2003 Softcover , 116 pages ISBN: 1-928706-17-7

Quiet Mind, The, by John Coleman

The Quiet Mind is a classic (and true) story of a spiritual odyssey. John Coleman, a CIA agent in Asia in the 1950's, is forced to resign when his cover is blown.

Coleman travels through India, Burma, Japan and Thailand and encounters such legendary teachers as Krishnamurti, Maharishi, D.T. Suzuki and Sayagyi U Ba Khin. His search for peace of mind and liberating insights comes to fruition in Yangon (Rangoon) under the tutelage of the great Vipassana meditation master U Ba Khin. First published in 1970, The Quiet Mind has been out of print for many years; this new edition will be welcomed by a new generation of seekers and those already familiar with it.
