“Like a shadow that does not depart” is the exciting biography of Ananda, Buddha’s attendant during the last 25 years of his life. In an age before writing, Ananda heard and memorized all of Buddha’s estimated 84,000 sermons and 15,000 stanzas without omitting a syllable. He also strongly advocated a Buddhist order of nuns, which Buddha approved. Although Ananda did not become enlightened until Buddha’s parinirvanization, he was de facto Chief-of-Staff for Buddha. Ananda scheduled Buddha’s appointments, so he exerted enormous power over who could see Buddha, even the senior enlightened arhats, who technically out-ranked Ananda. Ananda implemented important organizational changes in the sangha as it grew; thereby giving Buddha a planned, structured system for his travels and sermons. He was Buddha’s constant shadow. He ministered to Buddha’s needs. He set up Buddha’s camp when the sangha was traveling. He guarded Buddha with his ever-present staff. Ananda was one of Buddha’s pivotal disciples. Without his incredible photographic memory and methodical approach, it is questionable whether Buddhism would have grown into a major religion.

This volume offers a complete translation of the Samyutta Nikaya, The Connected Discourses of the Buddha, the third of the four great collections in the Sutta Pitaka of the Pali Canon. The Samyutta Nikaya consists of fifty-six chapters, each governed by a unifying theme that binds together the Buddha's suttas or discourses. The chapters are organized into five major parts. The first, The Book with Verses, is a compilation of suttas composed largely in verse. This book ranks as one of the most inspiring compilations in the Buddhist canon, showing the Buddha in his full grandeur as the peerless "teacher of gods and humans." The other four books deal in depth with the philosophical principles and meditative structures of early Buddhism. They combine into orderly chapters all the important short discourses of the Buddha on such major topics as dependent origination, the five aggregates, the six sense bases, the seven factors of enlightenment, the Noble Eightfold Path, and the Four Noble Truths. Among the four large Nikayas belonging to the Pali Canon, the Samyutta Nikaya serves as the repository for the many shorter suttas of the Buddha where he discloses his radical insights into the nature of reality and his unique path to spiritual emancipation. This collection, it seems, was directed mainly at those disciples who were capable of grasping the deepest dimensions of wisdom and of clarifying them for others, and also provided guidance to meditators intent on consummating their efforts with the direct realization of the ultimate truth. The present work begins with an insightful general introduction to the Samyutta Nikaya as a whole. Each of the five parts is also provided with its own introduction, intended to guide the reader through this vast, ocean-like collection of suttas. To further assist the reader, the translator has provided an extensive body of notes clarifying various problems concerning both the language and the mean

Many valuable books have been written by Eastern and Western scholars, Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike, to present the life and teachings of the Buddha to those who are interested in Buddhism. Amongst them one of the most popular works is still The Light of Asia by Sir Edwin Arnold. Many Western truth-seekers were attracted to Buddhism by this world-famous poem. Congratulations of Eastern and Western Buddhists are due to the learned writers on their laudable efforts to enlighten the readers on the Buddha-Dhamma. This new treatise is another humble attempt made by a member of the Order of the Sangha, based on the Pāli Texts, commentaries, and traditions prevailing in Buddhist countries, especially in Ceylon.

Refutations is the magnum opus of the Armenian bishop, Eznik of Kolb. In his work he lays out his argument regarding the nature and the presence of evil in the world, in contrast to the moral postulate of the Latin clergyman St. Augustine of Hippo. Eznik also refuses the Persian state religion, with a special emphasis on the issue of Zurvanism. This carries over as well on the argument levied against all dualistic thought, and against the Marcionist heresy in particular.

The Odes of God: A Little Book By: Rick South Using the four or five senses we perceive our existence by and through one cannot prove or disprove the existence of God. Some men have claimed to have been visited by God himself or his agents, which will never be proof, using these same senses, to any other than himself. What proof, then, does exist? The answer is in the written word or literature. The Odes of God is the result of author Rick South setting about on an enquiry to find every instance where a voice claiming to be God Himself, speaking in the first person, was quoted in literature. Simply put, only four voices make this claim, these being Yahweh the God of the ancient Israelites, Krishna as quoted in the Bhagavad Gita, Jesus of Nazareth, and Allah in the Quran. These voices comprise a mere fraction of the content of the books from whence they came. The Odes of God is an attempt to bring this voice to the forefront, as it speaks very well for itself. Although the world’s religions and all of their divisions can never come together, these voices when examined by themselves are unified and undivided.

We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves. -Buddha You can achieve anything you want if you have control over your thoughts. You can replicate a life of a winner in you or you can be your enemy. It solely depends on which staircase you select for yourself; a positive value staircase or a negative value staircase. Understand the art of climbing a positive value staircase and redirect your vision with the help of visualization technique. Understand when hard work leads to failure. Understand the GOAL of a goal. Understand when expectations don't hurt you. Understand the purpose of your life.
