Transpose - A Novel by Matt PadwickTranspose by Matt Padwick is a novel of self styled revolution. Matt Padwick spent his twenties travelling the world as an adventure travel guide, and his thirties managing Dzogchen Beara, a Tibetan Buddhist meditation retreat centre in south-west Ireland. In his autobiographical novel he explores insecurity that powered a life of extreme sport and wilderness adventure, and the moments of pure mind and perfect balance that made it addictive. With planet-sized humour and wry vision he scales some of the big questions of his generation. Is Ed still a messed-up adrenaline junkie, tripping around the world in a vain attempt to find meaning in life, or is he a changed man? After an enlightening year of simple living, he has packed all the inner peace and contentment he can carry and is travelling from his remote west coast cabin in Ireland to attend a wedding at an exclusive English hotel. It could be the perfect opportunity to show of his new found meditative equipoise - or a stage for ...

Twelve Steps To A Compassionate LifeTwelve Steps to a Compassionate Life by Karen Armstrong Drawing on a wide range of material - ranging from the spiritual character of the world religions to the findings of contemporary neuroscience - Karen Armstrong argues that compassion is hardwired into our brains, yet is constantly pushed back by our more primitive instincts for selfishness and survival. Since time immemorial religion has enhanced our altruistic tendencies: all faiths insist that the Golden Rule is the test of true spirituality - 'Always treat others as you wish to be treated yourself'. Taking as her starting point the teachings of the great world religions, Karen Armstrong demonstrates in twelve practical steps how we can bring compassion to the forefront of our lives. These steps both reveal the inadequacies of our knowledge of ourselves and others and enable us to unlock our potential for understanding, empathy and altruism that can be translated into acts of kindness and charity.They culminate in the most r...

What makes you not a BuddhistWhat makes you not a Buddhist by Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse An innovative meditation master cuts through common misconceptions about Buddhism, revealing what it truly means to walk the path of the Buddha So you think you're a Buddhist? Think again.
