Personal Transformation

This extraordinary - and extremely helpful book - takes Feng Shui much further than it has ever been before. Bestselling author Lillian Too shows how you can use this ancient art to understand yourself better - and to accept what you find within. Using visualizations, mediations - as well as more conventional feng shui tips she explains how to deal with negative emotions (anger, doubt, fear etc) as well as attachments (obsessive love, addiction to money etc). Only by working yourself and your environment first can you then look outwards to help others - and look forward to the future.

The Way of the White Clouds

Govinda, Anagarika

Buddhism

<p>Undoubtedly one of the greatest teachers in history, the Buddha has had an immeasurable influence on the human race. He taught that our suffering stems from desire and that the only way to remove desire is to purify the heart. Dhamma means law, discipline, justice, virtue, truth - that which holds things together. Pada means way, path, step, foot. So, The Dhammapada is the path of virtue, or the way of truth. This collection of sayings of the Buddha was probably first gathered together a hundred years after his death, and written down in the first century BC. Thomas Byrom's lyrical yet concise translation reveals the practical and timeless simplicity of the Buddha's teaching. There is also a preface by Ram Dass, the writer and teacher on Eastern spiritual philosophy and its integration into Western thought and society.</p>
