Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major figure in the transmission of Zen to the West, Zen Master Seung Sahn was known for his powerful teaching style, which was direct, surprising, and often humorous. He taught that Zen is not about achieving a goal, but about acting spontaneously from “don’t-know mind.” It is from this “before-thinking” nature, he taught, that true compassion and the desire to serve others naturally arises. This collection of teaching stories, talks, and spontaneous dialogues with students offers readers a fresh and immediate encounter with one of the great Zen masters of the twentieth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Way to Nirvana: Six Lectures on Ancient Buddhism as a Discipline of Salvation Je suis fort heureux d'avoir accepté l'invitation des Hibbert Trustees et de mon excellent ami le Dr J. E. Carpenter. C'etait une bonne occasion de faire une sorte d'examen de conscience et d'exposer brievement et clairement ce que je pense d'un des aspects du Bouddhisme, le vieux Bouddhisime monastique et ses theories sur le salut. Meme ainsi circonscrit, le sujet reste vaste, et sur combien de points on pourrait epiloguer a perte de vue! C'est un des draw-backs du genre Lectures qu'il faut sacrifier les nuances; mais c'est un de ses avantages qu'il faut aller a l'essectiel. À sacrifier quelques bouquetd d'arbres et une bonne partie de la frondaison, on obtient une meilleure idee de la foret. Et couper, parfois avec un peu d'arbitaire, des avenued dans la foret, c'est, tout compte fait, le seul moyen de la parcourir. Les sentiers sont charmants, mais ils egarent.

Download or read book I Found My Friends written by Nick Soulsby and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2015-03-31 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I Found My Friends recreates the short and tempestuous times of Nirvana through the musicians and producers who played and interacted with the band. The guides for this trip didn't just watch the life of this legendary band—they lived it. Soulsby interviewed over 150 musicians from bands that played and toured with Nirvana, including well-known alternative and grunge bands like Dinosaur Jr., The Dead Kennedys, and Butthole Surfers, as well as scores of smaller, but no less fascinating bands. In this groundbreaking look at a legendary band, readers will see a more personal history of Nirvana than ever before, including Nirvana's consideration of nearly a dozen previously unmentioned candidates for drummer before settling on David Grohl, a recounting of Nirvana's famously disastrous South American shows from never-before-heard sources on Brazilian and Argentine sides, and the man who hosted the first ever Nirvana gig's recollections of jamming with the band at that inaugural event. I Found My Friends relives Nirvana's meteoric rise from the days before the legend to through their increasingly damaged superstardom. More than twenty years after Kurt Cobain's tragic death, Nick Soulsby removes the posthumous halo from the brow of Kurt Cobain and travels back through time to observe one of rock and roll‘s most critical bands as no one has ever seen them before.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Buddha's teachings center around two basic principles. One is the Four Noble Truths, in which the Buddha diagnoses the problem of suffering and indicates the treatment necessary to remedy this problem. The other is the Noble Eightfold Path, the practical discipline he prescribes to uproot and eliminate the deep underlying causes of suffering. The present book offers, in simple and clear language, a concise yet thorough explanation of the Eightfold Path. Basing himself solidly upon the Buddha's own words, the author examines each factor of the path to determine exactly what it implies in the way of practical training. Finally, in the concluding chapter, he shows how all eight factors of the path function in unison to bring about the realization of the Buddhist goal: enlightenment and liberation.
