Hardback. Etat : Good. In a village high above the clouds, where nobody s happy and nothing grows, a little girl dreams of a garden flourishing behind her father s house.

In Mishan s Garden, a little girl sees all that is good and beautiful in the hearts of everyone around her and thereby transforms the lives of her entire village. Brooke, Janet (illustrateur).…

Paperback. Etat : Good. Fed up with teenage life in the suburbs, Jaimal Yogis ran off to Hawaii with little more than a copy of Hermann Hesse's Siddhartha and enough cash for a surfboard. His journey is a coming-of-age saga that takes him from communes to monasteries, from the warm Pacific to the icy New York shore. Equal parts spiritual memoir and surfer's tale, this is a chronicle of finding meditative focus in the barrel of a wave and eternal truth in the great salty blue.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. Conversations with Joseph Goldstein, one of today's most renowned meditation teachers who taught ABC news anchor Dan Harris (author of 10% Happier) to meditate, on the topic of integrity. Creating a Life of Integrity is our personal trainer for strengthening our integrity muscles. When we don't speak or act from our own sense of integrity, we feel lousy. Find out how you can live with more integrity--and subsequently more joy--as you follow these lively conversations between Joseph Goldstein, a founder of the modern mindfulness movement, and Gail Stark, a businesswoman and his student and friend of twenty-five years. As Joseph and Gail unpack the components of integrity--generosity, virtue, renunciation, wisdom, courage, patience, truthfulness, resoluteness, loving-kindness, and equanimity--we discover each is a step on a path that transports us to an empowered place of clarity, commitment, and, consequently, more joy. As we strengthen and weave these qualities into our daily lives they become our trusted first response in a world that needs our integrity now. A lovely, practical, intimate, and wise book. Read and you can enjoy an intimate conversation with a great teacher, and learn how to lovingly refine the study your own mind.--Jack Kornfield, author of A Path with Heart.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. There's a war on--and Lin Jensen isn't gonna take it standing up. In 36 riveting scenes, Pavement shows how the Buddhist perspective can help us all, even in the toughest times. Every day, Lin Jensen has gone down to the center of his small town of Chico, California, plopped down a meditation cushion, and sat peace vigils in protest of the US invasion of Iraq--his honest effort to change the world. From his knee-level spot on the pavement, he has encountered a wonderful array of what Lin calls uprights: a heart-breakingly generous homeless man who offers Lin his only possession; hostile passers-by who shout F@#k you, Peace Wimp ; White Wolf, who punctuates every comment (always shouted ) with a sharp poke to Lin's chest; compassionate soldiers; and more--all amid rain and bright sun, exhaust fumes, and the scent of azaleas. Jensen, the author who so moved readers with his acclaimed memoir Bad Dog , here shares what sidewalk-dwelling has taught him about humility, generosity, and what it really means to love our neighbors. It's inspiring, good-humored reading--especially for anyone who might work or wish for change but doesn't want to be just spitting into the wind.…

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Selfless Love shows how meditation can help us realize that we don't love--we are love. Gentle, elegant, and radically inspiring, Selfless Love presents a holistic, experiential meditative path that enables us to see beyond our preconceived notions of identity, spirituality, and humanity.

Recognizing the limitations of language in describing the indescribable, Birx concludes each chapter in the Zen tradition of turning words with a verse meant to invite insights. …
