Описание: This is a classic text on the essence of Buddhist meditation. It is an excellent, indepth description of mindfulness practice and its benefits. It includes a concise explanation of clear comprehension, which is the kind of mindfulness you use in the course of your daily life. It also presents an easily understandable explanation of the Four Foundations of Mindfulness. This new edition includes an introduction from noted author and teacher Sylvia Boorstein. Although the Buddha lived over 2500 years ago, his teachings on meditation are among the most effective methods for healing the pain of grief, finding inner peace, and overcoming the sense of dislocation caused by living in the 21st century. Mindfulness is a method not only for committed Buddhists. It is for everyone interested in mastering the mind. From the introduction by Sylvia Boorstein The Heart of Buddhist Meditation was the first serious, didactic Dharma book I read. It was the early nineteeneighties. My teacher, Jack Kornfield, suggested it as the beginning formal training of my becoming a Mindfulness teacher. I have that original copy and I am touched by how many underlined passages, how many exclamation points in margins, how many addendums of my own written in tiny scrawl appear in its fading pages.
Описание: This book examines how citizens judge whether government is abusing its power when making use of eminent domain. Debbie Becher argues that neither a belief in property rights nor a desire for growth guide popular evaluations of government legitimacy. Instead, community residents, businesses, government bureaucrats, and politicians all appeal to a shared notion of investment to justify policy.

Описание: Although many see the four noble truths as the kernel of the historical Buddha`s teachings, early texts reveal they are a later development. Shulman illustrates that these truths originated as observations to be cultivated during meditation, challenging the conventional view that the Buddha`s teachings represent universal themes of human existence.

Описание:
This book offers a new interpretation of the relationship between 'insight practice' (satipatthana) and the attainment of the four jh nas (i.e., right sam dhi), a key problem in the study of Buddhist meditation. The author challenges the traditional Buddhist understanding of the four jh nas as states of absorption, and shows how these states are the actualization and embodiment of insight (vipassan ). It proposes that the four jh nas and what we call 'vipassan 'are integral dimensions of a single process that leads to awakening.
Current literature on the phenomenology of the four jh nas and their relationship with the 'practice of insight' has mostly repeated traditional Therav da interpretations. No one to date has offered a comprehensive analysis of the fourfold jh na model independently from traditional interpretations. This book offers such an analysis. It presents a model which speaks in the Nik yas' distinct voice. It demonstrates that the distinction between the 'practice of serenity' (samatha-bh van ) and the 'practice of insight' (vipassan -bh van ) - a fundamental distinction in Buddhist meditation theory - is not applicable to early Buddhist understanding of the meditative path. It seeks to show that the common interpretation of the jh nas as 'altered states of consciousness', absorptions that do not reveal anything about the nature of phenomena, is incompatible with the teachings of the P li Nik yas.
By carefully analyzing the descriptions of the four jh nas in the early Buddhist texts in P li, their contexts, associations and meanings within the conceptual framework of early Buddhism, the relationship between this central element in the Buddhist path and 'insight meditation' becomes revealed in all its power.
Early Buddhist Meditation will be of interest to scholars of Buddhist studies, Asian philosophies and religions, as well as Buddhist practitioners with a serious interest in the process of insight meditation.
