Описание: The raucous, exuberant, often wildly funny account of a journey through America and Mexico, Jack Kerouac's On the Road instantly defined a generation on its publication in 1957: it was, in the words of a New York Times reviewer, "the clearest and most important utterance yet made by the generation Kerouac himself named years ago as 'beat.'" Written in the mode of ecstatic improvisation that Allen Ginsberg described as "spontaneous bop prosody," Kerouac's novel remains electrifying in its thirst for experience and its defiant rebuke of American conformity. In his portrayal of the fervent relationship between the writer Sal Paradise and his outrageous, exasperating, and inimitable friend Dean Moriarty, Kerouac created one of the great friendships in American literature; and his rendering of the cities and highways and wildernesses that his characters restlessly explore are a hallucinatory travelogue of a nation he both mourns and celebrates. Now, The Library of America collects On the Road together with four other autobiographical "road books" published during a remarkable four-year period. The Dharma Bums (1958), at once an exploration of Buddhist spirituality and an account of the Bay Area poetry scene, is notable for its thinly veiled portraits of Kerouac's acquaintances, including Ginsberg, Gary Snyder, and Kenneth Rexroth. The Subterraneans (1958) recounts a love affair set amid the bars and bohemian haunts of San Francisco. Tristessa (1960) is a melancholy novella describing a relationship with a prostitute in Mexico City. Lonesome Traveler (1960) collects travel essays that evoke journeys in Mexico and Europe, and concludes with an elegiac lament for the lost world of the American hobo. Also included in Road Novels are selections from Kerouac's journal, which provide a fascinating perspective on his early impressions of material eventually incorporated into On the Road.

Описание: Jack Kerouac's classic novel about friendship, the search for meaning, and the allure of natureA witty, moving philosophical novel, Jack Kerouac's The Dharma Bums is a journey of self-discovery through the lens of Zen Buddhist thought. This Penguin Modern Classics edition includes an introduction by Ann Douglas. Following the explosive energy of On the Road, the book that put the Beat Genration on the literary map - and Jack Kerouac on the bestseller list - comes The Dharma Bums, in which Kerouac charts the spiritual quest of a group of friends in search of Dharma, or Truth.
Ray Smith and his friend Japhy, along with Morley the yodeller, head off into the high Sierras to seek the lesson of solitude and experience the Zen way of life. But in wildly Bohemian San Francisco, with its poetry jam sessions, marathon drinking bouts and experiments in 'yabyum', they find the ascetic route distinctly hard to follow.

Описание: What do you do when everything falls apart? "Instead of trying to discipline your mind with ill will, fault-finding, guilt, punishment, and fear, use something far more powerful: the beautiful kindness, gentleness, and forgiveness of making peace with life."--Ajahn Brahm "In free fall, nothing is solid and there is nothing to hold on to. There is no way to control the experience. You have to surrender, and with that surrender comes the taste of liberation."--Master Guojun Most of us tend to live each day as if it will be just another day--like nothing will change. It always comes as a shock when we lose a job, a loved one, a relationship, our health--even though we've seen it happen again and again to those around us. Once we finally realize we're not immune, then we wonder: what now? How do we continue when the terrain suddenly gets rough? Meet your companions for this rocky part of the path: Ajahn Brahm and Chan Master Guojun--one a teacher in the Theravada Buddhist tradition, the other in the Chinese Zen tradition. These two beloved meditation masters share personal stories and anecdotes from their own experiences of dealing with life's pitfalls. You'll learn from their honest, generous teachings how you can live fully--even flourish--even when the road ahead looks steep and lonely. Personal, poetic, instructive, and often laugh-out-loud funny, this is inspiring advice for people from all walks of life. "Falling is Flying is truly unique because it offers a rare glimpse into the personal lives of two living Buddhist masters. With unflinching honesty, Ajahn Brahm and Chan Master Guojun share the struggles they've faced, even after becoming monks and respected teachers. Throughout the book, we see how, instead of turning away in aversion from adversity, they've used it as a stepping stone for finding the peace and happiness we all seek. I love this book and recommend it most highly " --Toni Bernhard, author of How To Be Sick
Описание: Mountain Dharma: Alchemy of Realization is a presentation of the personal and intimate advice of the late and great Dzogchen Master Dudjom Rinpoche to a group of students bent on meditation retreat. Ever masterful, Dudjom Rinpoche, whose life and work provided a brilliant example of a Tibetan rigzin's full awareness, tells a group of yogis how to use an extended period of seclusion in a mountain hermitage to recognize the nature of mind in the Dzogchen tradition. In this instruction, he is down to earth and eminently practical. But also in a short but seminal exposition of the Dzogchen view, he delivers the nature of mind as if pointing at it in front of us. Dudjom Rinpoche places himself amongst the great masters of the Tibetan language and great yogis of the Dzogchen tradition, along with Longchenpa and Jigme Lingpa, in this classical exposition of Dzogchen. It is important to note that as Keith Dowman mentions in his preface, this brilliant text of Dudjom Rinpoche Jigtral Yeshe Dorje (1904 - 1987) is cast in the mold where Dzogchen is inseparable from the Vajrayana of the Ngajur Nyingma tradition. Here Dzogchen is bound up with Tibetan Buddhism, which carries it and forms a basis for its practice.As an introduction to the text, Keith Dowman adds recollections of his interaction with his Guru as a preface to a eulogy contributed by Sogyal Rinpoche, which adds immeasurably to the background of the text.
Описание: Dharma is central to all the major religious traditions which originated on the Indian subcontinent. Such is its importance that these traditions cannot adequately be understood apart from it. Often translated as "ethics," "religion," "law," or "social order," dharma possesses elements of each of these but is not confined to any single category familiar to Western thought. Neither is it the straightforward equivalent of what many in the West might usually consider to be "a philosophy". This much-needed analysis of the history and heritage of dharma shows that it is instead a multi-faceted religious force, or paradigm, that has defined and that continues to shape the different cultures and civilizations of South Asia in a whole multitude of forms, organizing many aspects of life. Experts in the fields of Hindu, Jain, Buddhist and Sikh studies here bring fresh insights to dharma in terms both of its distinctiveness and its commonality as these are expressed across, and between, the several religions of the subcontinent. Exploring ethics, practice, history and social and gender issues, the contributors engage critically with some prevalent and often problematic interpretations of dharma, and point to new ways of appreciating these traditions in a manner that is appropriate to and thoroughly consistent with their varied internal debates, practices and self-representations.
Описание: The share of Hindus in Guyana's Indian population declined from 83.5 percent in 1880 to 62.8 percent in 2012. Yet even a casual observer would conclude that Guyanese Hindus, at home and in the diaspora, are a very religious people. Many of us do a jhandi or havan once annually; others do the more elaborate and costlier yaj a, where everyone is welcome, once or twice in their lifetime. Most of us do a short daily puja-prayers, offerings, reading the stras and listening to bhajan-in our homes. Christian missionaries worked assiduously to convert immigrants. Their first order of business was to denigrate Hinduism, designate Hindus as heathens, and disparage their culture, food, and even attire. Immigrants stubbornly resisted, led by the tiny educated elite, including Brhmaas, whom we call Brahmins. Conversion was a failure, at least up to the end of the nineteenth century, but picked up momentum thereafter. From around the 1870s, there occurred an unplanned movement toward a "synthesis" that brought Hindus, regardless of caste or sect, under a "unitary form of Hinduism." Guyanese Hindus call it Sanatana Dharma and Ramesh Gampat labels it Plantation Hinduism in this book. The book argues that the brand of Hinduism practiced is inconsistent with Sanatana Dharma, called Vednta by the more philosophically inclined. It features an extraordinary dependence upon purohits (pandits), which has anaesthetized the Hindu mind and render it unable to think, question, and inquire when it comes to dharma. Rituals and bhakti have been degraded and turned into desire-motivated worship. Devats have been misconstrued as Brahman rather than as limited manifestation of the one nondual pure consciousness. Belief in the multiplicity of gods encourages image worship, and superstitions anchor Guyanese Hindus to tradition and mere belief. Plantation Hinduism is little more than desire-motivated actions, dogmas, and superstitions. Absent is the idea that Sanatana Dharma is a spiritual science no less scientific than the hard sciences, such as physics and astronomy. The central message of Vednta is the innate divinity of every person and the freedom to realize that divinity through anubhava, direct personal experience of supreme reality.

Описание: Despite its popularity in Eastern cultures, and though Eastern and Western scholars alike recognize it as a literary masterpiece, the Ramayana is unknown to most in the West. This edition gives English-speaking readers the best opportunity yet to discover and enjoy this ancient classic. The Ramayana, perhaps the world's oldest literature, is both a spellbinding adventure and a work of profound philosophy, offering answers to life's deepest questions. It tells of another time when gods and heroes walked among us, facing supernatural forces of evil and receiving guidance from powerful mystics and sages. Revered throughout the ages for its moral and spiritual wisdom, the beautiful and uplifting tale of romance and high adventure recounts the odyssey of Rama, a great king of ancient India. Rama, along with his virtuous, courageous wife Sita and faithful brother Lakshmana, is exiled to the forest for fourteen years. There, Sita is abducted by the powerful demon Ravana. With his brother and a fantastic army of supernatural creatures, Rama embarks on a perilous quest to find his beloved Sita.
