These poems are at once tender, vulnerable, biting, heartbreaking, and hilarious. One moment you are laughing, the next moment drying your eyes. Edward Hirsch, judge of the Four Way Books 2002 Intro Prize says of Buddha’s Dogs, "There’s a ruthless authenticity—a deep cherishing—in Buddha’s Dogs, a splendidly mature first book of poems that is filled with moments of Proustian recall, with the comedy and the anguish, the beauty and the burning of lived experience."
The Buddha had a dog? Discovered on an ancient scroll in Tibet, The Buddha's Dog tells the heart-warmimg story of Nandhi, a mischievous and trouble-making English bulldog who is befriended by the Buddha. Through a series of adventures, the dog learns the path of loving-kindness toward all creatures and becomes one of the greatest teachers to ever walk the earth. Like Benjamin Hoff's, The Tao of Pooh, The Buddha's Dog is a whimsical introduction to the Buddha's teachings of love and compassion through the eyes of an unforgettable canine, and can be enjoyed by kids from ten years old to a hundred and ten. This humorous and enlightening fable will appeal however, not only to dog-lovers and Buddhist's, but to anyone who has ever known the unconditional love and friendship of a cherished pet. That one animal that you have never been able to forget.

The Lion-dog of Buddhist Asia by Elsie P. Mitchell Pdf
This unique book will appeal to students of Buddhism, art lovers, & dog fanciers alike. The lavishly illustrated text traces the origins of one of the most powerful icons of Buddhism, the lion of Buddha; the exquisite evocations of this mythical beast in the arts of three great Buddhist cultures of Asia; & the fascinating history of flesh-&-fur "lion-dogs" bred to resemble their celestial prototype: chiefly the Shih Tzu, but also such breeds as the Pekingese & the Lhasa Apso. Separate chapters elucidate the place of the "dog of Buddha" in the life, lore, & art of China, Tibet, & Japan. The Buddhist attitude toward dogs & other non-human beings is also compared with that of other religions. "A stunningly beautiful book, don't miss it."--Cleveland Amory. Distributed by Charles E. Tuttle, Vermont.
Koans are dialogues that stand at the center of Zen Buddhist literature and are often used to provoke the "great doubt" in testing a trainee's progress. The Mu Koan consists of a brief conversation in which a monk asks Master Zhaozhou whether or not a dog has Buddha-nature. According to the main version, the reply is "Mu": literally, "No," but implying the philosophical notion of nothingness. This case is widely considered to be the single best- known and most widely circulated koan record of the Zen school that offers existential release from anxiety to attain spiritual illumination. In a careful analysis of the historical and rhetorical basis of the literature, Steven Heine demonstrates that the Mu version of the case, preferred by advocates of the key-phrase approach, does not by any means constitute the final word concerning the meaning and significance of the Mu Koan. He shows that another canonical version, which gives both "Yes" and "No" responses, must be taken into account. Like Cats and Dogs offers critical insight and a new theoretical perspective on "the koan of koans."
"Behavioral issues" is one of the most common reasons dogs are given up on, bounced around, and surrendered to shelters ~ more than half ending up euthanized. And it doesn't have to be this way. Kimberly Artley has dedicated her life to learning about the many variables that feed and influence both human and canine psychology, behavior and health, in order to start a much-needed global conversation and prevent this type of outcome. "My Dog, My Buddha" is a collection of 100 life lessons for us on behalf of Dog, and was written to educate, empower, and equip the human end of the leash. To broaden our perspective, offset misunderstanding, bridge the disconnect between human and canine, and vastly improve quality of life.
Find enlightenment at the end of a leash with this delightful look at the Buddha nature of our canine companions. An afternoon nap in a patch of sunlight, a meandering walk in the woods, a full-body shake to greet another soul. No other creature displays the joy of living in the moment quite like a dog or exhibits the unquestioning devotion, honesty, and sheer selfl essness that is the essence of the Buddha nature. Zen Dog celebrates this great truth, bringing koans and canines together for the fi rst time. Inspiring quotations from the Buddha, Lao Tzu, and other Zen masters are paired with charming black-and-white photographs of dogs that illuminate the message. A dog wagging its tail in the breeze, for example, provides a surprisingly apt answer to the age-old question, "What is the sound of one hand clapping?" And the image of a family pet awaiting a tasty table scrap offers a whole new perspective on the saying, "If you know the power of a generous heart, you will not let a single meal pass without giving to others." The perfect gift for dog lovers and spiritual seekers, Zen Dog might even prove who the true "masters" in pet-owner relationships really are.

Buddha Nature and Animality by David E. Jones,MR David Jones Pdf
Buddha Nature and Animality is about peaceful living. In discussions about the relation between humans and their animal relatives, a central theme is that Buddhism represents the most viable philosophical/religious alternative to the malaise surrounding us when we confront ecological problems. This recognition points to the notion of compassion. The author seeks beyond the limits imposed by discourses of ethics and assumes a more radical approach to seek the roots of the perspectives that allow the conceptual space for the problematic dialogues in the first place. Rather than viewing animals as distinct beings sharing our environs, the author attempts to give the animals soul back to spirituality.
