Reginald A. Ray: Indestructible Truth: The Living Spirituality of Tibetan Buddhism

Indestructible Truth: The Living Spirituality of Tibetan Buddhism


Description

"Indestructible Truth " is one of the most thorough introductions to the Tibetan Buddhist world view ever published; at the same time it is also one of the most accessible. The author presents complex and sophisticated teachings and practices in nontechnical language, using engaging stories and personal anecdotes to illustrate his points. "Indestructible Truth " presents Tibetan Buddhism in its traditional form but also shows how the Tibetan traditions are applicable to the problems and challenges of modern life in the West. In "Indestructible Truth, " Tibetan Buddhism is introduced not as an exotic religion, but rather as an expression of human spirituality that is having a profound impact on the modern world. In addition, it presents the point of view of meditation and the practice of the spiritual life, paying special attention to contemplative practice and meditation as taught in the Kagyu and Nyingma schools.

The rise and spread of Islam had a lasting impact on the future of Christianity, and several chapters are devoted to the early experiences of Christians under Muslim rule. Wilken reminds us that the career of Christianity is characterized by decline and attrition as well as by growth and expansion. Ten years in the making and the result of a lifetime of study, this is Robert Louis Wilken's summa, a moving, reflective, and commanding account from a scholar at the height of his powers. Noted physician Thomas J. Moore, M.D., presents the ultimate guide to the revolutionary DASH diet. Elizabeth Hardwick was one of America s great postwar women of letters, celebrated as a novelist and as an essayist. Until now, however, her slim but remarkable achievement as a writer of short stories has remained largely hidden, with her work tucked away in the pages of the periodicals such as "Partisan Review, The New Indestructible Truth: The Living Spirituality of Tibetan Buddhism download ebook pdf Yorker," and "The New York Review of Books" in which it originally appeared. This first collection of Hardwick s short fiction reveals her brilliance as a stylist and as an observer of contemporary life. A young woman returns from New York to her childhood Kentucky home and discovers the world of difference within her. A girl s boyfriend is not quite good enough, his silvery eyes, light and cool, revealing nothing except pure possibility, like a coin in hand. A magazine editor s life falls strangely to pieces after she loses both her husband and her job. Individual lives and the life of New York, the setting or backdrop for most of these stories, are strikingly and memorably depicted in Hardwick s beautiful and razor-sharp prose."
