In My Own Words by His Holiness the Dalai Lama: An Introduction to His Teachings and Philosophy (Hardcover)

Posted on 2010/01/18 by Artimus| Leave a comment

From Publishers Weekly

Mehrotra assembles a Buddhist primer in this small collection of the Dalai Lama’s thoughts on meditation, suffering, karma, enlightenment and other issues. Brevity is the book’s greatest strength and greatest weakness: it is accessible, certainly, but the tiny topical sections do little more than scratch the surface of complex issues. His Holiness dispatches with compassion, a foundation of Buddhist thought, in a mere five pages; karmic consequences merit j (more…)

Here, the Dalai Lama progresses beyond his bestsellers The Art of Happiness and Ethics for the New Millennium by introducing specific practices that can engender happiness.

Yoga and the Quest for the True Self (Paperback)

Posted on 2010/01/14 by Artimus| Leave a comment

Amazon.com Review

Despite skeptical jibes from his well-meaning friends, Stephen Cope set off for a four-month yoga retreat in rural Massachusetts. Ten years later, he is still there. A psychotherapist left in the lurch after a long-term relationship, Cope was experiencing the same deep questioning of life that he had witnessed so often in his practice. His self-prescribed antidote was to pursue a life of contemplation and inner discovery that he had felt drawn to for some (more…)

The Universe in a Single Atom: The Convergence of Science and Spirituality (Paperback)

Posted on 2010/01/11 by Artimus| 1 Comment

From Publishers Weekly

As the Dalai Lama observes in this wise and humble book, dialogue between scientists and those interested in spirituality is important because science is not neutral; it can be used for good or ill, and we must approach scientific inquiry with compassion and empathy. Similarly, a spirituality that ignores science can quickly become a rigid fundamentalism. Sometimes the Dalai Lama discovers similarities between the two fields. For example, Einstein’s idea th (more…)

The Leader’s Way: The Art of Making the Right Decisions in Our Careers, Our Companies, and the World at Large (Hardcover)

Posted on 2010/01/08 by Artimus| Leave a comment

Born out of a decade of discussion between His Holiness the Dalai Lama and international management consultant Laurens van den Muyzenberg, The Leader’s Way is the unique meeting of two worlds: the global business landscape and Buddhism. At first sight, these seem to be an unlikely pairing. After a closer look, however, the best business practices and Buddhist principles in fact have much in common; both are concerned with making rational, holistic decisions and turning them in (more…)

Food, Inc. (2008) dvd

Posted on 2010/01/08 by Artimus| 1 Comment

Amazon.com

For most Americans, the ideal meal is fast, cheap, and tasty. Food, Inc. examines the costs of putting value and convenience over nutrition and environmental impact. Director Robert Kenner explores the subject from all angles, talking to authors, advocates, farmers, and CEOs, like co-producer Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation), Michael Pollan (The Omnivore’s Dilemma), Gary Hirschberg (Stonyfield Farms), and Barbara Kowalcyk, who’s been lobbying for more rigorous standards since E. coli claimed the life of her two-year-old son. The filmmaker takes his camera into slaughterhouses and factory farms where chickens grow too fast to walk properly, cows eat feed pumped with toxic chemicals, and illegal immigrants risk life and limb to bring these products to market at an affordable cost. If eco-docs tends to preach to the converted, Kenner presents his findings in such an engaging fashion that Food, Inc. may well reach the very viewers who could benefit from it the m (more…)

Healing Anger: The Power of Patience from a Buddhist Perspective (Paperback)

Posted on 2010/01/07 by Artimus| Leave a comment

From Library Journal

Winner of the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize, the Dalai Lama discusses the subject of patience, drawing on a chapter from an important Buddhist classic, Shantideva’s “Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life.” He helps readers examine how anger arises to destroy much that is positive and good, proposing that gentleness is fundamental to human nature. Through active self-discipline, and not meekness as is commonly misunderstood, we can transform anger through compassion (more…)
