The present book, Cariyāpiṭaka, belongs to the Pāḷi Tipiṭaka, the authorized recension for the Theravāda Buddhism. Keeping in line with the Indian inclinations, Cariyāpiṭaka was the first attempt at creating a biography of Lord Buddha – not a biography dealing with physical and mundane matters of this life but a biography stretching in to time immemorial to understand and enumerate the qualities that Lord Buddha developed over a period of 100,000 eons and four incalculables – a period beyond reckoning. Cariyāpiṭaka was meant as a guide for those interested in developing ...

The non-judgmental acceptance of the feelings that emerge in our thoughts and emotions, in the present, manifests into a lifelong mindful practice. The similarities of the various modalities found around the world to practice mindfulness are more numerous than the differences and, in some cases, than the activities of a culture. They are passed down from generation to generation with the name of the activity rather than the more trending term of mindfulness.

The Symbolisms in Buddhism is a contemporary, in-depth writing on the philosophies and teachings of the Buddha. It defines who the Buddha is and the significance of events in his life. It explains in detail the Buddhist terminologies (meditation, enlightenment, nirvana, vesak, etc.), objects, and rituals so they can be meaningful to you in your practice.

The present book, Theragāthā, belongs to the Pāḷi Tipiṭaka, the authorized recension for Theravāda. Theragāthā is perhaps unique in the world spiritual literature in that it contains verses exclusively by liberated men, and is likely the earliest such compendium. The Elder Bhikkhus (therā in Pāḷi), whose verses (gāthā) are collected herein, represent a fair cross-section of the contemporary Indian society: here we find princes and paupers, Brāhmaṇā and Khattiyā, Vessā and Suddā, high-class society and down-trodden ones, children and senior citizens, single and married...

This book is the culmination of my experiences over the last twenty-five years. However, it is told in everyone's voice because everyone's journey is different. I stumbled into mindful meditation as a last resort in my lifelong battle with depression and anxiety. Those have been gone for a long time now. First I read probably close to 50 or more books, then I became a certified meditation teacher. I noticed that a lot of the available books seemed to go into great detail about Buddhism. While mindful meditation is a direct result of the teachings of the Buddha, I felt a non-secular ...

Most of us are able to see beings who have been reborn in the human realm and many of the beings born in the animal realm. But it is very rare to have the opportunity to witness for ourselves the suffering experienced by those beings born in the ghost realm. Our great teacher, the Supreme Buddha, had an excellent knowledge and vision to be able to see these beings as well as the action that led to the suffering that they experience.

This is the story of what happens when the author's plans to ordain as a Buddhist monk in Thailand are derailed after he has arrived in the country. Next Life in the Afternoon is spiritual, funny, at times irreverent, and full of personal lessons learned along the way. From Next Life in the Afternoon: "I’m squatting naked on a concrete floor in the predawn coolness of Udon Thani, pouring water from a washbasin onto my head to rinse off the bar soap I used as shampoo. My hair is long and stringy. I had counted on it being shaved off by now, so I had let it grow out a bit leading up to the ...

If you’ve been confused by all the talk of “awakening” or “enlightenment,” you’re not alone. These words are everywhere—used in everything from spiritual marketing to casual conversation. But the Buddha meant something very specific. And it wasn’t mystical, magical, or out of reach. In this short and to-the-point audiobook, I try to return to the heart of what the Buddha actually taught. I wrote it not as a scholar, but as a fellow practitioner—someone who has wrestled with suffering, sat in stillness, and found deep clarity in the Buddha’s path.

Gotama Buddha's teachings are not based in belief. His teachings need to be learned and practiced with guidance so that you can independently observe the truth in his teachings to acquire wisdom. It is this newfound wisdom that the mind imbibes to gradually function in the world differently to attain a peaceful, calm, serene, and content mind with joy - the enlightened mind.

The purpose of this book is to help the earnest seeker to understand the concept of Dependent Origination and the 12 individual links. This is the most important idea to be understood on your journey to Nibbāna. The Buddha used the term Paṭicca Samuppāda, which is Pāli for dependent origination. When one understands Dependent Origination, one understands himself/herself, and the world. It is truly the answer to the question of “Who am I?” This is a 12-part series of small books for each one of the 12 links. This booklet covers the link of Bhava, or Habitual Tendencies/Being/...

This business of letting go is so easy, and yet so hard, for monkey and for human being alike. We are both caught up in the same predicament. The details may be different, played out on higher levels of sophistication or complexity, but the end result is the same: Enslavement by concepts and conditioning. While the monkey is done in by its greed for a few nuts, we humans are done in by our greed for wealth, fame, power, status, pleasure, and shiny trinkets and toys which we believe we absolutely must have, and cannot live without.

In our relationships with each other, with our families, we can begin to use wisdom as our refuge. That doesn’t mean that we don’t love, that we don’t grieve for our loved ones. It means that we’re not dependent on our perceptions of our mother and father, children, or close friends. We’re able to surrender to the rhythm of life and death, to the natural law, the Dhamma of birth, aging, sickness, and death.
