Evolutionary Enlightenment
Andrew Cohen
HC AUD33.30
|
|
In Evolutionary Enlightenment
Andrew Cohen redefines spirituality for our contemporary
world, a world characterized by exponential change
and an ever-expanding appreciation for the processes
of evolution.
Based on 25 years of
work as a spiritual teacher and the editor-in-chief
of the award-winning EnlightenNext magazine, Cohen
has synthesized an original path, practice, and
philosophy focused entirely on aligning yourself
with what he calls "the evolutionary impulse."
His message is simple,
yet profound: Life is evolution, and enlightenment
is about waking up to this fundamentally creative
impulse as your own deepest, most authentic self--so
that you can play an active role in creating the
future.
Through his five fundamental
tenets for living an enlightened life, Cohen empowers
you to wholeheartedly participate in the process
of change as your own spiritual practice. In doing
so, he not only makes deep sense of life today;
he shows you how to play an active role in shaping
the world of tomorrow.

The Novice
Thich Nhat Hanh
PB AUD29.95
|
|
Bestselling author and Zen Master
Thich Nhat Hanh transforms an ancient folktale
into a timeless parable of a young woman who dares
to risk her life for her faith. Born to an aristocratic
family in rural Vietnam, Kinh Tam's uncommon beauty
and intelligence were obvious to all she encountered.
From an early age she was drawn
to the teachings of Buddha and the rewards of
a monastic life, but to please her family she
agreed to walk the traditional path of marriage.
Throughout her marriage, Kinh Tam's mind was devoted
to her husband but her heart never waivered from
her true calling.
She wanted to be a monk. Making
a decision that would forever change her life,
Kinh Tam left town, disguised herself as a man,
and joined a monastery as a novice. Despite the
many challenges of living as a man, Kinh Tam thrived
and became a beloved member of the community.
Years of profound joy and peace
passed until a local woman accuses the novice
of fathering her unborn child. Kinh Tam is torn
between two impossible choices: keep her secret
and endure brutal punishment or reveal the truth
that would prove her innocence but put an end
to her spiritual path.
Facing the unbearable with the boundless
heart of Buddha, her choice forever changes her
life, her country, and her faith.
In spare, elegant prose, Thich Nhat
Hanh reminds us that we, too, face our own injustices
and suffering, and by connecting with love, we
can, like Kinh Tam, discover a mind and heart
that are peaceful, happy, and free.
