An inspiring commentary on the three sutras at the centre of East Asian Buddhist faith. The three Pure Land Sutras are a body of Mahayana scriptures that for centuries have played an important part in the spiritual life of East Asian Buddhists. These texts describe Sukhavati, the archetypal 'land of bliss' presided over by Amitabha or Amitayus, the Buddha of Infinite Light and Eternal Life. This book is a beautiful exploration of the imaginative world portrayed in the Pure Land Sutras. Includes new translations of the sutras by Sraddhapa.

The three Pure Land Sutras are a body of Mahayana scriptures that for centuries have played an important part in the spiritual life of East Asian Buddhists. These texts describe Sukhavati, the archetypal land of bliss presided over by Amitabha or Amitayus, the Buddha of Infinite Light and Eternal Life. Ratnaguna explores the practices that enable the practitioner to be reborn in this ideal world, and outlines how this can be understood in both a literal and metaphoric sense. So 'rebirth in Sukhavati' can take place in this very life, and dwelling there can be understood as a description of the Enlightened Mind. He also explores faith-imagination as the faculty that perceives reality. These Buddhist texts--both ancient and perennial--put forward a path of faith and grace, as well as effort and practice. Using a practical and imaginative approach, Ratnaguna explores the main themes, and the meditations outlined by the Buddha. This book will appeal to both practicing Buddhists--whether from the East Asian Pure Land traditions or not--and anyone interested in Buddhism from a practical point of view. Includes new translations of the three Pure Land sutras by Sraddhapa. Ratnaguna is a member of the Triratna Buddhist Order and has been practicing Buddhism for 35 years. He is a director of Breathworks in Manchester--a social enterprise organization that helps people who live with chronic pain and other long-term health conditions. Sraddhapa is also a member of the Triratna Buddhist Order. He studied Scandinavian languages and translation at the University of Edinburgh and University College London, and is currently studying for an MPhil in Sanskrit. He lives and works in Norway and teaches at the Oslo Buddhist Centre.

Surveying spiritual and philosophical traditions, this volume revives the search for wisdom for modern times. What is wisdom and how is it cultivated? These are among the most important questions we can ask, but questions that have been routinely ignored in modern times. In the twentieth century, the search for wisdom was replaced by a search for knowledge as science and technology promised answers to lifes ills. However, along with scientific achievements came disasters, particularly the devastation of the planet through the accelerating use of modern technology. In an era drenched in data, a desire for wisdom has been reborn. Where can we go to learn about wisdom? The answer is clear: to the worlds great religions and their accompanying philosophies and psychologies. The Worlds Great Wisdom makes these treasuries available. Practitioners from each of the great religionsas well as from Western philosophy and contemporary researchprovide summaries of their traditions understandings of wisdom, the means for cultivating it, and its implications for the modern world. This book offers distillations of the worlds accumulated wisdomancient and modern, religious and scientific, philosophical and psychological. It is a unique resource that for the first time in history brings together our collective understanding of wisdom and the ways to develop it.

Marlene was twenty-two, a new baby in arms, when her husband said, "I think God's calling us to give our lives to the Philippines." Her response? "Sounds like an adventure!" But three years into their successful ministry, Marlene loses her entire family to a plane crash, and Don and Marlene must return home to run the family business. They'd planned on selling the business and returning to "God's work" until a world-famous evangelist told them that they could do even more good for the Kingdom of God by running their business well and supporting missionaries. That conversation changed everything. Over the next sixty years, they planted hundreds of churches and touched hundreds of thousands of lives. In this book, Marlene tells her fascinating story and shares hard-won wisdom about prayer, prosperity, marriage, and generosity. Above all, she urges us to pursue an adventurous life of great faith.
