Buddha Hill by Bob Booth Pdf

What if the self-immolating monks of Vietnam weren't just protesting the war? From Weston Oche's introduction — "Robert Booth’s writing has always had a certain authenticity. He has the capacity to make the unbelievable believable and place his characters comfortably within a narrative structure … There’s a secret formula to writing supernatural fiction and Booth knows it — place believable characters in believable situations and have supernatural events occur. Not everyone knows this. Not everyone can do it. In this work Booth does it perfectly. Enjoy Buddha Hill. It’s a rare treasure from a rare man."

The Buddha's Wisdom by VENERABLE LAMA THAMTHOG RINPOCHE Pdf

This book presents a collection of teachings given by Venerable Lama Thamthog Rinpoche in several teachings and retreats held at Ghe Pel Ling Institute of Tibetan Buddhist Studies in Milan, Italy. The lessons and this consequent book are the traditionally taught subjects found in the Lam rim (The Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment), written by the Indian scholar and practitioner Atisha in Tibet in the 11th Century and commentated on, amongst many other Tibetan teachers, by Lama Tsong Khapa in the second half of the 14th Century. It includes the entire body of the original teachings of Buddha Śākyamuni, arranged in such an order as to lead the meditator to progressively refine their mind, overcome the afflicted emotions and wrong views and attain the achievement of enlightenment.

Japanese Conquest of Burma 1942 by Tim Moreman Pdf

This book provides a fascinating exploration of the Japanese conquest of Burma, as the Allied forces were forced back in disarray to India and China. The Japanese invasion of Burma in January 1942 marked the beginning of the single longest campaign of World War II. In the Burmese jungles, the battle-hardened, highly trained and lightly equipped Imperial Japanese Army quickly proved itself a vastly superior fighting force in clashes against the British, Indian and Gurkha troops that formed Burma Army and Chinese nationalist forces deployed in eastern Burma. This superbly illustrated book narrates Burma Corps' epic fighting retreat northwards, carried out mostly in contact with the enemy and across hundreds of miles of highly malarial and extremely difficult terrain, to safety in India. Among the battles covered are the disaster at the Sittang Bridge on 22 February 1942 (where 17th Indian Division was all but destroyed), the fall of Rangoon in March 1942 and the clashes at Yenangyaung, Monywa and Shwegyin. The performance of the opposing commanders and forces is also examined in detail, highlighting the success of Japanese aggressive light infantry tactics, which ruthlessly exploited the cover and concealment provided by the jungle to outflank, bypass and encircle their bewildered enemy.

Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha by Daniel Ingram Pdf

The very idea that the teachings can be mastered will arouse controversy within Buddhist circles. Even so, Ingram insists that enlightenment is an attainable goal, once our fanciful notions of it are stripped away, and we have learned to use meditation as a method for examining reality rather than an opportunity to wallow in self-absorbed mind-noise. Ingram sets out concisely the difference between concentration-based and insight (vipassana) meditation; he provides example practices; and most importantly he presents detailed maps of the states of mind we are likely to encounter, and the stages we must negotiate as we move through clearly-defined cycles of insight. Its easy to feel overawed, at first, by Ingram's assurance and ease in the higher levels of consciousness, but consistently he writes as a down-to-earth and compassionate guide, and to the practitioner willing to commit themselves this is a glittering gift of a book.In this new edition of the bestselling book, the author rearranges, revises and expands upon the original material, as well as adding new sections that bring further clarity to his ideas.

Freeing the Buddha by Brian Ruhe Pdf

This book is not written to reinvent the wheel and offer up just another introduction to Buddhism. This has a fresh approach of Buddhism which does not stir up dust in areas that most people have not thought of. There are Buddhist teachers who would discuss things privately such as Buddhist views on UFOs, Adolf Hitler and the historical Jesus, but they would not give public talks or publish books on such controversal subjects. The author has the courage to do so as he bodly discusses such topics in this book.
