A unique Buddhist tradition, accessible in English for the first time—translations of forty-five Cambodian Dharma songs, with contextualizing essays and a link to audio of stunning vocal performances. Until Nirvana’s Time is the first collection of traditional Cambodian Buddhist literature available in English, presenting original translations of forty-five poems. Introduced, translated, and contextualized by scholar and vocalist Trent Walker, the Dharma songs in this book reveal a distinctive Southeast Asian genre of devotion, mourning, and contemplation. Their soaring melodies have inspired Cambodians for generations, whether in daily prayers or all-night rituals. Trained in oral and written lineages in Cambodia, Walker presents a carefully curated range of poems from the seventeenth to twentieth centuries that capture the transformative wisdom of the Khmer Buddhist tradition. Many of the poems, having been transcribed from old cassette tapes or fragile bark-paper manuscripts, are printed here for the first time. A link to recordings of selected songs in English and Khmer accompanies the book. These frank and compelling poems offer mirrors to our own lives—even as they challenge Buddhist conventions of how to die, how to grieve, and how to repay the ones we love.

I Found My Friends recreates the short and tempestuous times of Nirvana through the musicians and producers who played and interacted with the band. The guides for this trip didn't just watch the life of this legendary band—they lived it. Soulsby interviewed over 150 musicians from bands that played and toured with Nirvana, including well-known alternative and grunge bands like Dinosaur Jr., The Dead Kennedys, and Butthole Surfers, as well as scores of smaller, but no less fascinating bands. In this groundbreaking look at a legendary band, readers will see a more personal history of Nirvana than ever before, including Nirvana's consideration of nearly a dozen previously unmentioned candidates for drummer before settling on David Grohl, a recounting of Nirvana's famously disastrous South American shows from never-before-heard sources on Brazilian and Argentine sides, and the man who hosted the first ever Nirvana gig's recollections of jamming with the band at that inaugural event. I Found My Friends relives Nirvana's meteoric rise from the days before the legend to through their increasingly damaged superstardom. More than twenty years after Kurt Cobain's tragic death, Nick Soulsby removes the posthumous halo from the brow of Kurt Cobain and travels back through time to observe one of rock and roll‘s most critical bands as no one has ever seen them before.

Preface...... The story of Lord Buddha is the most read story in the world. This is one story that is beyond the boundaries of religion, culture and society. The story is being told and retold for almost more than two thousand and five hundred years, yet what happened at that time from the birth of prince Siddhartha till he attained his Nirvana is very enigmatic. Not much written evidence is available for that, while lot of literature is available for what happened after Nirvana. This story is just an attempt to tell the world what would have happened at that time, when seen in the logical context of human boundaries. This story is only upto the point when monk Gautam attains Nirvana. Further attempt to tell the story after Nirvana, when Gautam became Buddha, will be made after the outcome of this attempt. We know some stories connected with prince Siddhartha, his life and these stories are scattered here and there in various books. Jatakas contain the previous birth stories of Lord Buddha. But there is no such consolidated book, which can be ascribed to prince Siddhartha’s life. The author has made an attempt to collect all such stories and thread them into a garland. The result is this book. In the attempt, some literary and fictional additions have been done. But in the end, the author is sure that the readers will like the storyline. Kapilvastu was not a huge kingdom. Its name is not included in the sixteen (or twelve) Mahajanpadas. It clearly indicates that Kapilvastu was a small principality within the kingdom of Kosala. The rulers of Kapilvastu were descendants of great Ikshavaku, who was also ancestor of the rulers of Kosala. It clearly means that the rulers of Kapilvastu and Kosala were related by blood. And as per the tradition, the throne was passed to the eldest son of the king and the younger son became vassal ruling small principalities within the kingdom, owing allegiance to the king. This would have happened at that time too, within the kingdom of Kosala. The story has been developed accordingly. Kapilvastu was surrounded by Mahajanpadas, and as such its polity was influenced by the neighboring kingdoms. Many events happened in the neighbouring kingdoms, and that had a bearing in the future of Kapilvastu and hence Siddhartha. These events have also been included in this story to give the story a flow. These incidences and events are of historical significance and happened around the same time, though the interpretation of these events is of author’s own. Some texts point out to the fact that Siddhartha was married to Yashodhara, a princess from the neighbouring kingdom of Koliya. Some texts point out that Siddhartha had three wives, namely, Yashodhara (daughter of Dandapani), Mrigdja (daughter of Kinkinishwar) and Gopa (daughter of Kanika). It is not sure, which one is the right fact. In this book, Siddhartha is shown to be married only to Yashodhara as the Shakyas wanted to preserve their lineage; hence marriage within community was allowed. Also ‘one man- one woman’ formula was propagated. Thus, it would have been not possible for Siddhath to marry three girls. The purity of Shakya race was declared by the Buddha himself in Ambattha Sutta. The predictions of sage Asit were not told to Prince Siddhartha, till this was finally revealed to him. All through his life as a prince, Siddhartha was kept away from four signs sage Asit told- an old decrepit man, a diseased man, a dead man and a monk. In this story, it is emphasized that king Shuddhodan had forbidden presence of anybody who could remind Siddhartha about these signs. Siddhartha virtually grew in controls of the palace. This is author’s idea to develop the story forward. The author is of belief that Buddhism was born after Buddha, i.e., after Siddhartha attained nirvana. Before Buddhism, there was Vedic religion and the Vedic philosophy. The same concept is used in this book to show what Siddhartha was taught by his teachers, Master Arada Kalama and Master Udrak Ramputra. Arada is depicted as an exponent of Raj Yoga techniques whereas Udrak is depicted as master of Hatha Yoga techniques. Siddhartha learnt both these techniques under these masters. This can be seen in the various teachings of Lord Buddha. In the Heart Sutta, Buddha explains about emptiness and form. This is nothing but something that can be explained and attained through combination of Raj yoga, HathaYoga and Laya Yoga. The author would like to mention that the philosophy depicted in the book have been told to him by his guru, Shri Shri Shibendu Lahiri, and sometimes it is verbatim. And what has been given in the book is just a drop in the ocean. There is much more to learn from him. In the book, an attempt is made to describe the psychology of Prince Devdatt, his extreme hatred for Siddhartha and why he hated Siddhartha. Due to this hatred only, Devdatt tried many times to kill Prince Siddhartha, then Lord Buddha after Siddhath attained nirvana. Till Siddhartha was born, Devdatt was heir apparent to the throne of Kapilvastu. He was eldest in the entire family for four brothers- Shuddhodan, Shuklodan, Amritodan and Dronodan. Shuddhodan’s wife, Queen Mayadevi could not conceive for almost twenty years after their marriage. Though there is no concrete evidence to say that, yet it is widely perceived to be like this only. (In some texts, Devdatt is the son of Suprabuddha of Devdaha). In the end of this preface, the entire genealogy of Lord Buddha, whichever the author could gather, is presented for ready reference. And after Siddhartha was born, and he became the heir to the throne of Kapilvastu, being elder son of the king. This incidence and many more such incidences where Siddhartha was given preference over other princes due to the stories associated with his birth, cemented Devdatt’s resolution to get rid of Siddhartha. Readers will not find story of Devdatt out of context in this book. In the concluding part of book, the Maar is shown to take a human form. Though this is not possible for the negativity to take a form, but it was essential to depict the fight monk Gautam had undergone with himself, with his own negativity. Only after defeat of his negativity, he could attain nirvana. Everybody has to fight with his Maar one day or the other, but the fight monk Gautam had with his Maar shows how the negativity sometimes controls the thoughts of even profound persons like monk Gautam. The author is sure that readers would like the depiction of fight between Gautam and his negativity. In order to take the story forward, the protagonist should always have some companion to express his mind. Thus, the protagonist of this story, Siddhartha and later Gautam is shown always in company of somebody, Channa, Yashodhara or Kondinya. Actually, Kondinya may not have met Gautam during his travel to Vaishali, but it is shown just to carry the story forward. The story contains many words which are not from English language, but from Sanskrit or Pali or Hindi. These words are in italics and their meaning is in the other chapter after preface. These words are used as they explain the situation better that any phrase or word in English. In the end, it is hoped that this attempt by the author will be appreciated by the readers. This story should be read as story, and not as an attempt to rewrite history. Many incidences and characters may not fall in line with the thinking of people having knowledge about Buddhism. This is a work of fiction and should be taken likewise. However, author welcomes the comments from the readers.

This extensively researched and illustrated volume offers Western readers a rare introduction to Buddhism's complex and fascinating views about the structure of the universe. The book begins by clearly explaining classical cosmology, with its symmetrical, India-centered universe and multitudinous heavens and hells, and illuminates the cosmos's relation to the human concerns of karma, transmigration, and enlightenment. It moves on to discuss the Mahayana conception of the universe as a lotus flower containing uncountable realms, each with its own buddha. Then, examining changes in the notions of hell and the gods, the author traces Buddhism's gradual shift from a religion to a mythology. Throughout, treatment of Buddhism's historical, geographical, and doctrinal origins complements detailed cosmological descriptions. Finally, the author shows us how this ancient philosophy resembles the modern scientific view of the cosmos, and how even today it can help us lead more fulfilling lives.

The definitive biography of the revolutionary band Nirvana and its star-crossed frontman Kurt Cobain, hailed by Rolling Stone as “the first [book] to comprehensively tell the band’s tale from Aberdeen, Wash., to world domination” “Amazingly raw and candid . . . an unsparing and extremely honest depiction of the group’s highly tumultuous history . . . Come As You Are is as good as rock bios get.”—Billboard “Just tell the truth. That’ll be better than anything else that’s been written about me.”—Kurt Cobain Nirvana came out of nowhere in 1991 to sell nearly five million copies of their landmark album Nevermind, whose thunderous sound and indelible melodies embodied all the confusion, frustration, and passion of the emerging Generation X. Come As You Are is the close-up, intimate story of Nirvana—the only book with exclusive in-depth interviews with bandmembers Kurt Cobain, Krist Noveselic, and Dave Grohl, as well as friends, relatives, former bandmembers, and associates—now updated to include a final chapter detailing the last year of Kurt Cobain's life, before his tragic suicide in April 1994. Vivid, evocative, and thought-provoking, Come As You Are is an essential document not just for Nirvana fans but for anyone interested in the cultural legacy of the 1990s.

The first modern, comprehensive resource on spiritual awakenings, this pragmatic, clear guide covers everything from the first step on a spiritual journey to enlightenment, and the different types of spiritual awakenings, from mild to dramatic, we may go through. Using the concept of the twelve layers that cover an awakened state Mary Mueller Shutan addresses every step of the spiritual journey, starting with the Self and showing how family, ancestral, past lives, karmic, archetypal, and other larger layers such as societal, cultural, global, and cosmic energies condition us to sleep and obscure our realization of an awakened state. Instructions for how to navigate through each of these layers and how to recognize where we are in our spiritual journey are included each step of the way along with common physical, emotional, and spiritual symptoms that may be experienced. By addressing post-awakening states, oneness, dark nights of the soul, ego death, near-death and severe illness, psychic abilities, addictions, dietary changes, the God self, personal and collective shadow, and psychosis vs. awakening we understand the experiences we may go through while struggling with spiritual awakenings. This practical book opens new understandings of how to live in the world while going through an awakening process, and offers the revolutionary idea that we are meant to be humans, to have a physical body with physical, sensate experiences and emotions. We are meant to live in the world and be a part of it even as fully awakened individuals. This guide proposes a look at the possibility of leading a grounded, earth-bound life of work, family, friends, and other experiences in an awakened state.

"He who seeks shall not stop seeking until he finds; and when he finds, he will be frightened, and after he is frightened, he will be astonished, and he will reign over the cosmos." These encrypted words of Jesus in the Thomas Gospel verse 2 describe a Nirvana experience.Nirvana (moksha) is the highest achievable spiritual objective for a human: it is the reunion with his spiritual origin. This is also precisely the meaning of the word "religion", which goes back to the Latin "religare" (reunificate). All world religions have the same origin and thus in their original form also the same goal, which is called in Buddhism Nirvana and in Hinduism Moksha.There is also Nirvana (eternal life in the Kingdom of God) in Christianity, there is a Bodhisattva (Buddha-like Savior Jesus Christ), there is the law of Karma (seed and harvest), and there was the doctrine of reincarnation in Christian dogma (until 543 A.D.). And indeed Jesus Christ died as Bodhisattva when realizing the central idea of early Mahayana Buddhism, taking over the Karma of mankind on his shoulders (purifying sins through his blood), and to lead them collectively to Salvation (from the wheel of reincarnation) and to Eternal Life (Nirvana).The revelation of the origin of Christianity from Mahayana Buddhism is the religious message of this report!But Nirvana is not just a religious process of consciousness. Within the material world, the consciousness is accompanied by the subtle body and follows the physical rules of "spiritual technology" on its journey to Nirvana, which is also to be discovered here.The present authentic report describes in detail the Nirvana experience of Loh Tse, proves it with the corresponding explanations from the millennia-old Vedic, Buddhist and Christian scriptures, shows their connections with modern quantum and astrophysics and thereby inevitably decodes the phenomenon of wave/particle duality.An unexpected scientific discovery, and a firework of enlightenment for the reader!
