It is time to launch our May Stay at Home Sale. This month we’ve selected five of our most recent paperback titles. Though the books are varied, the author of each one draws on a lifetime of Buddhist practice and a commitment to explore the relevance of the Dharma in a particular sphere.
Paramananda is a wonderful meditation teacher. In his book The Myth of Meditation, he draws on two strands of practice that aren’t often brought together, but which open a warm possibility of integration and flourishing. The first is the deep embodiment that meditation needs and nurtures. And the second is the imaginal or metaphorical nature of human experience. This book was £12.99, and is now on sale for £8.99.
The second title in the sale is by Vajragupta who, in this delightful little book, reflects on 25 years of doing solitary retreats. Wild Awake: Alone, Offline and Aware was £9.99, and is now reduced to £6.66. When so many of us are more solitary, and when nature is flourishing while we are under lockdown, this book can guide us in how to be mindful in nature and explore the wilderness within.
One of our most popular authors is Vimalasara. With fellow author Paramabandhu she has developed a way of working with compulsion that is simple, powerful and kind. Eight Step Recovery: Using the Buddha’s Teachings to Overcome Addiction is used in recovery groups around the world to address a range of addictions. Originally published in 2015, we released a new expanded edition in 2018. This book is reduced from £13.99 to £9.33.
Shantigarbha is an order member who has worked with conflict and its resolution for decades. He trains others in Non-Violent Communication (NVC) and his first book, published in 2018, is I’ll meet you there: A Practical Guide to Empathy, Mindfulness and Communication. The regular price is £11.99, and it has been reduced to £7.99 during May.
The last of our titles is by the Theravadin monk and scholar Anālayo. You may have encountered his writings on the Satipatthana sutta. In this book, published in 2018, he draws on early discourses in Pali and Chinese to write a biography of the historical Buddha through his sayings and reflections on meditation. Each chapter includes suggestions to support your practice. A Meditator’s Life of the Buddha was £13.99 and is now £9.33.
