Download or read book The Quotable Krishnamurti written by Robert Epstein and published by Quest Books. This book was released on 2012-12-19 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Truth is a pathless land; you cannot approach it by any religion. . . . My only concern is to set men absolutely free. So said Jiddu Krishnamurti, one of the most influential spiritual leaders of the twentieth century. Born in India in 1905, as a teenager he was groomed by Theosophists C. W. Leadbeater and Annie Besant to become the next World Teacher. Yet later he broke from his mentors, refusing to play the messiah. For decades he traveled the globe, urging his followers to pursue their own, individual freedom without dependence on any doctrine. Hence this book’s guiding purpose. Author Robert Epstein culls key quotations from Krishnamurti’s 'Commentaries on Living' and other works. Conveniently organized from A to Z, topics range from acceptance and anger to consciousness, fear, fulfillment, God, hope, joy, love, nonviolence, reincarnation, relationship, self-understanding, sex, suffering, vegetarianism, war, and wisdom. “You are the world, and the world is you,” said Krishnamurti. “If there is a radical transformation in the structure of an individual’s psyche, it will affect the whole consciousness of man.” This small jewel of a book contains enormous power to inspire readers to just such a change.

Download or read book Suffering Buddha written by Epstei Robert Epstein with Stacy Taylor and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long ago, the Buddha taught that we create the world with our thoughts; and the more attached we are to things being a certain way, the more we suffer. Nowhere is this clearer than with chronic illness and pain: Our self-blame, anguish, depression, fear, loneliness, anger and embarrassment are the byproducts of denying the reality of illness or pain. If we are courageous enough to set aside our beliefs, hopes, and longings for a former or mythical ideal of health, which pull us out of the present moment, we free ourselves from the hell realm of suffering. Mindfully observing what is right here-and-now enables true healing to take place--healing that moves us beyond our naive ideas of health and illness. After all, we are not brains on a stick. Mind and body are united by spirit and it is spiritual understanding that leads us to the well where wisdom, love and compassion abide--qualities vital to the recovery of wholeness and well-being. SUFFERING BUDDHA points the way to inner healing; it is not a how-to manual or glib prescription for spiritual transcendence, precisely because such are not necessary. In our own wise, awakened hearts lies the key to wellness and ease.

The reader is given, in one paragraph, often in one sentence, enough to keep him exploring, questioning, thinking for days." -Anne Morrow Lindbergh."The insight, spiritual and poetic, of these commentaries is as simply expressed as it is searching in its demand."-Times Literary Supplement (London)."Krishnamurti is no other than he seems, a free man, one of the first quality, growing older as diamonds do but the gem-like flame not dating, and alive in these Commentaries. It is a treasure."-Francis Hacket, The New Republic.

Download or read book To Be Human written by J. Krishnamurti and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2000-10-10 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To Be Human presents Krishnamurti's radical vision of life in a new way. At the heart of this extraordinary collection are passages from the great teacher's talks that amplify and clarify the nature of truth and those obstacles that often prevent us from seeing it. Most of these core teachings have not been available in print until now. Besides presenting the core of Krishnamurti's message, the book alerts the reader to his innovative use of language, the ways in which he would use "old words with new interpretations," then gives practical examples, showing that we can clarify our understanding of life itself—and act on this new understanding. The splendid introduction by David Skitt discusses Krishnamurti's philosophy as a guide to knowledge and experience, the roles knowledge and experience should play in our lives, and the times when it is best to cast them aside and "look and act anew." The book's source notes will aid the inquisitive reader who wishes a deeper understanding of this great teacher's message.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the world today, the percentage of finding love or even a mate for that matter is almost little to none because men and women do not understand where they should be with one another from the start. From the "meet and greet" process to finally making it into a relationship, what has been lost in translation is the "getting to know" process. "All the Signs of Brain Damage" will show men and women that all is not lost in translation, and that love still exists for the believer and the person who is willing to devote themselves to truth and honesty about their contributions to "LOVE." So before you make that leap towards love, I will suggest that you jump at this opportunity to find out what part you are to play in something becoming successful with your mate of choice. Until then, stay SANE!!!! With his humbling, yet aggressive approach, Tonee Morton has provided the New Aged woman and the tradition man with a debut novel that will empower the heart to help the mind to grow. By adding powerful quotes with the logic that he has learned from his deceased mother, he has provided men and women with a masterpiece of truth and honesty that only a mother could love. Tonee Morton owns Rush City Creations that has provided ideas for companies in the realm of television, music, clothing and social networking. He found his gift and passion for writing at the University of Wisconsin, Superior and then embarked on a writing career in the Minneapolis area. Fascinated by the people who have wrote books about relationships, Tonee decided that it was time to reveal his own findings about "LOVE." And I must say that his findings helped me to find MYSELF!
Download or read book Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha written by Daniel Ingram and published by Aeon Books. This book was released on 2020-01-20 with total page 715 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The very idea that the teachings can be mastered will arouse controversy within Buddhist circles. Even so, Ingram insists that enlightenment is an attainable goal, once our fanciful notions of it are stripped away, and we have learned to use meditation as a method for examining reality rather than an opportunity to wallow in self-absorbed mind-noise. Ingram sets out concisely the difference between concentration-based and insight (vipassana) meditation; he provides example practices; and most importantly he presents detailed maps of the states of mind we are likely to encounter, and the stages we must negotiate as we move through clearly-defined cycles of insight. Its easy to feel overawed, at first, by Ingram's assurance and ease in the higher levels of consciousness, but consistently he writes as a down-to-earth and compassionate guide, and to the practitioner willing to commit themselves this is a glittering gift of a book.In this new edition of the bestselling book, the author rearranges, revises and expands upon the original material, as well as adding new sections that bring further clarity to his ideas.
