 stock image, actual book may vary For more than four decades, Robert Aitken Roshi has taught thousands of people the Buddhist practice of Zen meditation, and has led hundreds through their practice of the study of traditional koans. He has authored more than a dozen books, including a celebrated appreciation of Basho s haiku; volumes of commentary on sacred texts; works on ethics, daily life, and social action; and one of the best-loved introductions to Zen Buddhism, Taking the Path of Zen . After a long and remarkable life he will be 91 years old when this collection is published Aitken Roshi offers a collection of 266 short texts. Some are clearly parables; others are simple stories, quotations, memories, and commentaries. Resembling Benjamin Franklin s Almanac or the epigrams of Chamfort as much as it does work from ancient sages, this collection of miniatures distills a life devoted to teaching and awareness. Any person living a considered life, whether secular humanist or religious seeker, will find this a book of rich inspiration.

 stock image, actual book may vary There is a fine art to presenting complex ideas with simplicity and insight, in a manner that both guides and inspires. In Taking the Path of Zen Robert Aitken presents the practice, lifestyle, rationale, and ideology of Zen Buddhism with remarkable clarity. The foundation of Zen is the practice of zazen, or mediation, and Aitken Roshi insists that everything flows from the center. He discusses correct breathing, posture, routine, teacher-student relations, and koan study, as well as common problems and milestones encountered in the process. Throughout the book the author returns to zazen, offering further advice and more advanced techniques. The orientation extends to various religious attitudes and includes detailed discussions of the Three Treasures and the Ten Precepts of Zen Buddhism. Taking the Path of Zen will serve as orientation and guide for anyone who is drawn to the ways of Zen, from the simply curious to the serious Zen student.

 stock image, actual book may vary The master Omraam Mikha l A vanhov, French philosopher and teacher of Bulgarian origin 1900-1986 went to France in 1937. One of the most striking aspects in the Master's books is the enormous variety of ways in which he presents the one central question of man and his growth in perfection. Whatever the question under discussion it is invariably dealt with in terms of how man can better understand himself and conduct his life. The dragon, that fabulous beast common to all mythologies as well as to early Christian iconography, is not a pure fiction; it is the symbol of man's instinctive, primitive forces. The great challenge of the spiritual life is to learn to conquer, tame and use those forces to reach the highest peaks of the spirit. The fact that this fire-breathing monster with the tail of a serpent also has wings is proof that the forces it embodies have a spiritual destination. Omraam Mikha l A vanhov says, "Sexual energy is like petrol: if you are ignorant and use it carelessly you will burn yourself; your very quintessence will be destroyed by this all-consuming force. But Initiates, who know how to handle it, use it to move freely about the universe." This is the true meaning of the winged dragon.

Masaharu Anesaki was the leading Japanese writer on Japanese religion, and this long out-of-print account of the intricacies of religious belief in Japan has never been bettered. The great achievement of this work is to show how Shinto, Buddhism and Confucianism were moulded and combined by the circumstances of the times and the people into a composite whole, so that the Japanese of today are, consciously or unconsciously, followers of these various teachings at the same time. A true religious history, it sets religious belief in the context of social and political realities. This is essential reading for all who seek to understand the unique religious beliefs of Japan.

 stock image, actual book may vary "The coming of a spiritual age must be preceded by the appearance of an increasing number of individuals who are no longer satisfied with the normal intellectual, vital, and physical existence of man, but perceive that a greater evolution is the real goal of humanity and attempt to effect it in themselves, to lead others to it, and to make it the recognized goal of the race. In proportion as they succeed, and to the degree to which they carry this evolution, the yet unrealized potentiality which they represent will become the actual possibility of the future." Sri Aurobindo, The Human Cycle Sri Aurobindo stands out as one of the deepest and most profoundly relevant of contemporary Asian spiritual masters speaking to the West. His vision transcends the distinctive strengths and weaknesses of India and the West, and his discipline brings the yogas of the Gita to the task of world transformation. His collaborator, The Mother, offers a blueprint for the utopian community Auroville, giving sage advice on the ideal of a spiritually based approach to education. Robert McDermott's afterword in this revised edition recounts the increased significance of Aurobindo's message in the West especially for America since the book was first published in 1973. Here is an invaluable resource for understanding the underlying connections and common ground between Eastern and Western teachings and traditions for modern thinkers and spiritual seekers.
