The Unofficial Buddhist - Robert Bluck
What is an unofficial Buddhist? Someone whose monastery is their living room! This book explores Buddhist-inspired teaching and practice for today s secular world - but outside the monastic traditions of Buddhism. The Unofficial Buddhist seeks to find a middle way between ancient and modern worldviews, religious and secular approaches, and Asian and western cultural attitudes. Drawing on traditional Theravada and modern Zen sources, it suggests practical ways of engaging with the Buddha s ancient path of morality and meditation, leading towards the wisdom of awakening. Western Buddhists often practise with friends or alone. Perhaps they have no local Buddhist centre, or haven t found those nearby appealing - or they re wary of organized religion in general. These unofficial Buddhists have been called Buddhism s new pioneers , exploring the inner territory of how to practise the Buddha s teaching in the modern world. In both Europe and North America, they re probably more numerous than any of the traditional groups. So if you have been practising Buddhism without finding a local centre where you feel comfortable - or if you are outside Buddhism, but looking in with interest - you are probably an unofficial Buddhist yourself. If so, this book is for you.

The Tibetan Book of the Dead: Buddhist Teachings on Death and Dying - Dawa Samdup
First revealed by a Tibetan monk in the 14th century, Bardo Thodol (“Great Liberation upon Hearing in the Intermediate State”) – known more commonly as The Tibetan Book of the Dead – describes the experience of human consciousness in the bardo, the interval between death and the next rebirth in the cycle of death and rebirth. The teachings are designed to help the dying regain clarity of awareness at the moment of death, and by doing so achieve enlightened liberation. Popular throughout the world since the 1960s and overwhelmingly the best-known Buddhist text in the West, this classic translation by Kazi Dawa Samdup is divided into 21 chapters, with sections on the chikhai bardo, or the clear light seen at the moment of death; chönyid bardo, or karmic apparitions; the wisdom of peaceful deities, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas; the 58 flame-enhaloed, wrathful, blood-drinking deities; the judgement of those who the dying has known in life through the “mirror of karma”; and the process of rebirth.The text also includes chapters on the signs of death and rituals to undertake for the dying. Presented in a high-quality Chinese-bound format with accompanying illustrations, The Tibetan Book of the Dead is an ideal resource of ancient wisdom for anyone interested in Tibetan Buddhist notions of death and the path to enlightenment.

The Collected Poems - Robert Frost
No poet is more emblematically American than Robert Frost. Hailed as ‘the most eminent, the most distinguished Anglo-American poet’ by T.S. Eliot, he is the only writer in history to have been awarded four Pulitzer Prizes. In iconic poems like ‘Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening’, simple images summon the rural landscape of New England, and Frost unfailingly moves the reader with his profound grasp of the human condition. This is the most comprehensive and authoritative volume of Frost s verse available, comprising all eleven volumes of his poems, meticulously edited by Edward Connery Lathem. Review The most eminent, the most distinguished Anglo-American poet now living (T. S. Eliot) Frost was the first American poet who could honestly be reckoned a master-poet by world standards (Robert Graves) Robert Frost has passed into the poetic pantheon (Independent) Of all the poetry written in our generation, Frost s is most likely to stand the test of time (Lewis Gannett) About the Author Robert Frost was born in San Francisco in 1874. After the death of his father he moved with his mother and sister to Massachusetts. His first collection, A Boy s Will, was published in 1913. In 1924 he won the first of four Pulitzer Prizes for his fourth book, New Hampshire. In the 1930s, as he became ever more revered, he suffered a series of family tragedies: his youngest child Marjorie died in 1934, his wife Elinor in 1938, and his son Carol in 1940. Another daughter, Irma, suffered from mental illness. Frost s last major collection, A Witness Tree (1942), contains a number of poems reflecting these disasters. In 1957 Robert Frost received honorary degrees from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. He died in January 1963.

The Revolutionary Temper - Robert Darnton
A Sunday Times, Times Literary Supplement, and The Times Book of the Yearâ ˜Robert Darnton is one of the worldâ ™s greatest historians, and this is an exceptional book: a huge social and cultural portrait of Paris in the build-up to the French Revolutionâ ™ Dominic Sandbrook, Sunday Times, Books of the Year When a Parisian crowd stormed the Bastille in July 1789, it triggered an event of global consequence: the overthrow of the monarchy and the birth of a new society. Most historians account for the French Revolution by viewing it as the outcome of underlying conditions such as a faltering economy, class conflict or Enlightenment ideology. Without denying any of these, Robert Darnton offers a different explanation: what Parisians themselves, those at the centre of the Revolution, thought was happening at the time and how it guided their actions. To understand the rise of what he calls â ˜the revolutionary temperâ ™, Darnton draws on a lifetimeâ ™s study of pamphlets, books, underground newsletters, songs and public performances, exploring Paris as an information society not unlike our own. Its news circuits were centred in cafes and market-places, on park benches, and under the Palais-Royalâ ™s Tree of Cracow, a favourite gathering-place for gossips. He shows how the events of forty years â “ from disastrous treaties, official corruption and royal scandal to thrilling hot-air balloon ascents and a new conception of the nation â “ all entered the collective consciousness of ordinary Parisians. As news and opinion travelled across this profoundly unequal society, public trust in royal authority eroded, its legitimacy was undermined, and the social order unravelled. Much of Robert Darntonâ ™s work has explained the hidden dynamics of history, never more so than in this exceptional book. It is a riveting narrative, but it adds a new dimension, the perceptions of contemporary Parisians, which allows us to see these momentous decades afresh.

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (Special Edition) - Robert Louis Stevenson
Discover the story of Robert Louis Stevenson #39;s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde with this exquisite edition from Union Square Co.’s Signature Gilded Editions series! The stunning The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde special edition features sprayed edges, color end pages, a built-in ribbon bookmark, and embossed foil cover. The beautiful design and attention to detail set this special edition book apart, whether you’re reading for the first time or building a library of your favorite classic literature books. What a study in contrasts is the friendship between Henry Jekyll and his boon companion, Edward Hyde. Where Jekyll is a handsome and respected man of science, Hyde is a surly and brutish misanthrope. Nevertheless, Jekyll allows Hyde free access to his home and laboratory and, surprisingly, madehim the sole beneficiary of his will. Given the closeness of their bond, it seems peculiar that no one has ever seen the two men together in public. And yet they share a remarkable chemistry. . . . First published in 1886, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is Robert Louis Stevenson #39;s classic tale of the duality of human nature and his iconic presentation of what would come to be referred to as the split personality. Born in 1850 in Edinburgh, Scotland, Stevenson crafted this novella during the Victorian era, a period marked by strict social mores and a fascination with the dual nature of man. The story delves into the duality of human nature, portraying Dr. Henry Jekyll #39;s harrowing struggle with his darker self, Mr. Edward Hyde, through a transformative potion that he creates. Considered a pioneering work in the psychological horror genre, it explores themes of identity, human evil, and the societal pressures that influence personal choices. Historically, it reflects the Victorian anxiety about the public and private spheres and the fears of degeneration prevalent in the late nineteenth century. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde challenges the notion of inherent goodness and questions the possibility of fully understanding one #39;s own multiplicity and capacity for evil. Its enduring appeal lies in its profound philosophical questions about the essential conflict within human nature.
