Bury the Seed
Author: Brooke McNamara
Publisher: Performance Integral
ISBN: 9780988768970
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
Bury the Seed is a book for anyone seeking connection. Brooke McNamara's second publication, Bury the Seed, is a four-part collection of poetry that invites us to revel in the wonder, mystery, and elegance of our ordinary, brief, and beautiful lives. A compilation of treasures for sharing or reading alone, these poems serve as both invitation and map, calling us to "bury the seed" of our everyday experiences so that we may open to more robust and delighted ways of being in the world. Bury the Seed is divided into four parts: Bury, Tend, Harvest, Release. Each speaking to a richness born when we hold our experiences up to the light and allow them to take new shapes, to be made anew. Her poems are a study in the familiar, offering a lens so we may step back for another look. Brooke weaves words into relatable, contemplative lodestars that unfurl showing us where the treasure lay, always right under our noses, nestled in our longing, frustration, and surrender. These poems acknowledge the sacredness and possibility that linger in our everyday experience, persisting in words: shape, mother, gesture, clenched, drown, nothing. Brooke shows us how a shift in angle stitches cobalt, soap, and roses into the fabric of memory. Bury the Seed is an answer to our longing for the exquisite. Her words remind us that it is in living where our brave sorrows and simple delights are transformed into the magic each of us seeks.

SHANTIDEVA'S A GUIDE TO THE BODHISATTVA'S WAY OF LIFE
Author:
Publisher: Library of Tibetan Works and Archives
ISBN: 9383441844
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 263
Book Description
The Bodhisattva’s Way of Life is one of the most dearly beloved Buddhist texts, which has been taught and often quoted by the Dalai Lama as well as many other great Tibetan masters. Because of its relevance to modern times, his text has been translated into a dozen languages. The Bodhisattva's Way of Life was written by the eighth century Indian Bodhisattva, Shantideva, and is a comprehensive outline of everything one needs to know to be a Bodhisattva. A Bodhisattva is someone who decides to work towards achieving enlightenment and to not give up this task until all other sentient beings are liberated. The Bodhisattva's Way of life begins by explaining how and why to make offerings to the Three Jewels and how take the bodhisattva vow (which is still being done this way 1,400 years later). The book also covers how to develop compassion towards those we like and also those who want to harm us. It explains the need to develop selflessness and how to actually do this, as well as how to develop patience with those people and things that obstruct us. It also describes how we should carry ourself in a peaceful and pleasing way to others and how to develop diligence and how to practice meditation. The famous ninth chapter, finally, explains how we should understand emptiness of all phenomena. This edition of The Bodhisattva's Way of Life is unique because it combines both a translation of the root text with each verse or set of verses followed by a lucid and relevant commentary by Thrangu Rinpoche. Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche is very well suited for this task, being a renowned Buddhist scholar who has had three decades of experience teaching students in centers across Asia, Europe, and North America. Thrangu Rinpoche has been teaching Western and Asian students Buddhism for thirty years and is author of 50 books on Buddhism. He holds the highest Lharampa degree for mastering the major teachings of all four lineages of Tibetan Buddhism. Because of his outstanding scholarship he was appointed by the Dalai Lama to be a personal tutor for the Seventeenth Karmapa.
