To know Lama Yeshe was to know he loved chocolate; it was his favorite metaphor to describe the nature of our attachments. This funny and trenchant little volume answers the question of how we can be happy even after the "chocolate" has run out. By cutting the cords of attachment, we discover the indestructible happiness that has always been--and always will be--available to us. Capturing the remarkable personality of Lama, who played an integral role in introducing Tibetan Buddhism to the world, When the Chocolate Runs Out will delight both readers who have known Lama Yeshe for decades and those who have never encountered this timelessly inspiring teacher. At once lighthearted and profound, this delightful book of wisdom is a perfect companion to How to Be Happy by Lama Zopa Rinpoche.

In this magnificently researched and illustrated book, international award-winning author Connie Spenuzza masterfully explores the cultural history of the women within the world of chocolate. As a child, Spenuzza frolicked in her family's pristine equatorial rainforest cacao plantations, not yet knowing the intricacies of culture and history that surrounded women's roles in an industry as luscious as chocolate. But these early years piqued her curiosity and spurred decades of extensive travel that would take Spenuzza to places such as the archaeological sites of Mesoamerica, where chocolate reached its apex as a ritual beverage. Armed with a novelist's eye for human frailties and an investigator's nose for hidden truths, Spenuzza exquisitely guides you on the illuminating journey across the globe to uncover the 5,300-year-old history of the women who dedicated their lives to the world's most coveted indulgence. The allure of chocolate started 5,300 years in the Amazon River Basin of Ecuador with the drink of the gods, Theobroma cacao. During the Spanish colonial period of the Americas, the commerce of cacao was a guarded goldmine, as it sailed back to Europe on the trade winds known as the vientos chocolateros. Convent nuns of the Americas and Europe prepared a chocolate drink, and through their ingenuity, they created the first chocolate confections that stimulated the senses. Even the royal houses of Europe fell under the spell of chocolate when arrogant Spanish royal brides insisted on having the sinful delicacy within their courts. The sheer pleasure of a sip or even one bite intoxicated men to the point that they believed chocolate was some type of sorcery, a power that women possessed over them. This European chocolate mania led to a nefarious period for the confection. Due to an increased demand for its production in the Caribbean, the enslaved were forced to work in heinous conditions on the European-owned plantations. Soon piracy, contraband, theft, pyres of the Spanish Inquisition, and the draconian English laws punished female chocolatiers severely. This book [CD1] takes you on a stunning, surprising, and moving tour of historic turning points in chocolate's history, introducing you to the many women who toiled for this luxurious confection, such as chocolate entrepreneurs Mary Tuke, the tenacious British Quaker, and Luisa Spagnoli, the passionate Italian chocolatier. Follow Spenuzza as she deftly guides you through this poignant bite of history and walks in the powerful steps of those women who sacrificed so much for the love of chocolate.

The second novel in a bewitching series "brimming with charm and charisma" that will make "fans of Outlander rejoice!" (Woman's World Magazine) New York Times bestselling author Paula Brackston’s The Little Shop of Found Things was called “a page-turner that will no doubt leave readers eager for future series installments” (Publishers Weekly). Now, Brackston returns to the Found Things series with its sequel, Secrets of the Chocolate House. After her adventures in the seventeenth century, Xanthe does her best to settle back into the rhythm of life in Marlborough. She tells herself she must forget about Samuel and leave him in the past where he belongs. With the help of her new friends, she does her best to move on, focusing instead on the success of her and Flora’s antique shop. But there are still things waiting to be found, still injustices needing to be put right, still voices whispering to Xanthe from long ago about secrets wanting to be shared. While looking for new stock for the shop, Xanthe hears the song of a copper chocolate pot. Soon after, she has an upsetting vision of Samuel in great danger, compelling her to make another journey to the past. This time she'll meet her most dangerous adversary. This time her ability to travel to the past will be tested. This time she will discover her true destiny. Will that destiny allow her to return home? And will she be able to save Samuel when his own fate seems to be sealed?

In the classic bestseller, Introduction to Tantra, Lama Yeshe offered a profound glimpse into the authentic and sophisticated practices of Tibetan Buddhist Tantra. The Bliss of Inner Fire may be considered a perfect follow-up to that book. Lama Yeshe follows Je Tsongkhapa's (1357-1419 a.d.) text, Having the Three Convictions, and introduces the renowned Six Yogas of Naropa, focusing mainly on the first of these six, the practice of "inner fire" (tummo). Mastery of inner fire quickly brings the mind to its most refined and penetrating state ? the experience of clear light, an extra-ordinarily powerful state of mind that is unequaled in its ability to directly realize ultimate reality. Lama Yeshe felt that twentieth-century Westerners could easily grasp the often misunderstood ideas of this esoteric tradition: His aim was for his students to actually taste the experience of inner fire rather than merely gain an intellectual understanding. Lama's own realization of the transformative power of these practices comes through, inspiring his students to discover for themselves their own capacity for inexhaustible bliss.
