My 50 Years of Buddhist Practice: Dealing with Depression, Serious Illness & Everyday Life is a great introduction to the practical application of Buddhism. It is about the lessons Mike Lisagor has learned from fifty+ years of practicing and studying Nichiren Buddhism on a daily basis together with his wife. Mike wrote these 44 essays, articles and speeches about religion and spirituality between 2016 and 2019. These perspectives and experiences reveal how SGI Nichiren Buddhism - which offers teachings of personal and social transformation, Daisaku Ikeda's guidance, and psychotherapy have continued to help Mike and his wife deal with serious illness, depression, childhood trauma, aging, parenting and creating hope in these challenging times. This book is a sequel to Romancing the Buddha (third edition) which has sold almost 10,000 copies. Mike also turned that book into a one-man show that can be viewed on YouTube. Learn more about Mike at www.romancingthebuddha.com. Mike has written hundreds of articles and blogs on Buddhist and business topics. He was a former information technology industry executive and founded a consulting company, Celerity Works. He is also a co-founder of GovFlex.com. Now retired (from work), he writes weekly articles, gives motivational talks to high school students and shares his Buddhist perspective with members of other faith communities. Mike does graphic art and plays harmonica and sings in a blues band, Good Karma Blues, on an island in the Pacific Northwest.

This anthology, first published in 1995, illustrates the vast scope of Buddhist practice in Asia, past and present. Re-released now in a slimmer but still extensive edition, Buddhism in Practice presents a selection of thirty-five translated texts--each preceded by a substantial introduction by its translator. These unusual sources provides the reader with a sense of the remarkable diversity of the practices of persons who over the course of 2,500 years have been identified, by themselves or by others, as Buddhists. Demonstrating the many continuities among the practices of Buddhist cultures widely separated by both history and geography, Buddhism in Practice continues to provide an ideal introduction to Buddhism and a source of new insights for scholars.

The second volume in the Dalai Lama’s definitive and comprehensive series on the stages of the Buddhist path, The Library of Wisdom and Compassion—now in paperback! Volume 1, Approaching the Buddhist Path, contained introductory material that set the context for Buddhist practice. This second volume, The Foundation of Buddhist Practice, describes the important teachings that will help us establish a flourishing Dharma practice. Traditional presentations of the path in Tibetan Buddhism assume the audience already has faith in the Buddha and believes in rebirth and karma, but the Dalai Lama realized early on that a different approach was needed for his Western and contemporary Asian students. Starting with the four seals and the two truths, His Holiness illuminates key Buddhist ideas, such as dependent arising, emptiness, and karma, to support the reader in engaging with this rich tradition. This second volume in the Library of Wisdom and Compassion series provides a wealth of reflections on the relationship between a spiritual mentor and student, how to begin a meditation practice, and the relationship between the body and mind.

Everyday Dharma written by Lama Willa Miller and has been published by Quest Books this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2012-12-13 with Body, Mind & Spirit categories.
In The Everyday Dharma, Willa Miller, an authorized lama in the Tibetan Buddhist Tradition, reworks ancient Buddhist techniques and adapts them for western readers seeking personal transformation. Becoming a Buddha, Lama Miller explains, means observing the mind and actions and then doing the physical, psychological, and spiritual work to move closer to one’s wisdom nature. Dharma is spiritual practice; it’s what one does every day to make one’s mind and world a better place to live. Each chapter includes a passage to read, an exercise of the day that relates to each week’s topic, a quote from a sage, and tips on how to make daily practice a little easier. The book shows that it’s not necessary to subscribe to a particular — or any — belief system to benefit from this program. "It’s only necessary," says Lama Miller, "to believe one deserves to live a more fulfilling and meaningful life."

Nowadays very popular, meditation is often presented as the key Buddhist method. However, it is actually only one means of this path of liberation. Karmapa Thaye Dorje sketches out the essential points to enter on this path in a way that is both modern and accessible for the Western audience: taking refuge, giving rise to loving-kindness and compassion and measuring the opportunity of this present existence and conditions. He taps into the Buddha's heritage and gives it a contemporary taste.

Continuum congratulates Rita M. Gross on being the recipient of the 1999 Choice Outstanding Academic Book Award.As a practicing Buddhist for over 20 years, Rita Gross is concerned with how Eastern wisdom traditions transform our lives, and are themselves transformed by contact with the wisdom of the West.Rita Gross considers "lifestyle" issues, from conception to death and grieving; social issues such as population control, work and family, and environmental ethics; and theological issues such as the use of goddess images in Buddhism, and several fascinating practices from Gross's own Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhist tradition.
