Buddhist Yoga: A Comprehensive Course
Shambhala; Boston, USA; 1995; 1-570-62018-0 / 9781570620188; First Edition; Paperback; New; New;
The word yoga has many meanings, including "meditation," "method," and "union." While the physical exercises of Hindu yoga are familiar to Westerners, the subtle metaphysics and refined methods of spiritual development that characterize Buddhist yoga are not yet well known. This volume presents a landmark translation of a classical sourcebook of Buddhist yoga, the Sandhinirmochana-sutra, or "Scripture Unlocking the Mysteries," a revered text of the school of Buddhism known as Vijnanavada or Yogachara. The study of this scripture is essential preparation for anyone undertaking meditation exercise. Linking theory and praxis, the scripture offers a remarkably detailed and thorough course of study in both the philosophical and pragmatic foundation of Buddhist yoga, and their perfect, harmonious union in the realization of Buddhist enlightenment.

Zhuge Liang & Liu Ji; Translated and Edited By Thomas Cleary
Mastering the Art of War: Zhuge Liang's and Liu Ji's Commentaries on the Classic By Sun Tzu
Shambhala; Boston, USA; 2004; 1-56957-025-6 / 9781569570258; First Edition; Paperback; Brand New;
Composed by two prominent statesmen-generals of classical China, this book develops the strategies of Sun Tzu's classic, The Art of War, into a complete handbook of organization and leadership. The great leaders of ancient China who were trained in Sun Tzu's principles understood how war is waged successfully, both materially and mentally, and how victory and defeat follow clear social, psychological, and environmental laws. Drawing on episodes from the panorama of Chinese history, Mastering the Art of War presents practical summaries of these essential laws along with tales of conflict and strategy that show in concrete terms the proper use of Sun Tzu's principles. The book also examines the social and psychological aspects of organization and crisis management. The translator's introduction surveys the Chinese philosophies of war and conflict and explores in depth the parallels between The Art of War and the oldest handbook of strategic living, the I Ching (Book of Changes).

Shambhala; Boston, USA; 1995; 1-57062-004-0 / 9781570620041; First Edition; Paperback; Brand New;
Some types of meditation are aimed at promoting a sense of confidence and well-being in everyday life, while other types focus on producing altered states of consciousness, transcending the world, or developing skills for serving other people.

Minding Mind is based on traditional texts by renowned teachers from various Buddhist schools of China, Japan, and Korea, covering a broad range of topics, including: * The practice of basic meditation * Techniques for improving concentration * How to correct problems that arise during meditation * Differences between methods of sudden and gradual enlightenment * The practice of koan meditation * Meditation in action Questions?
