English | ISBN: 1514000008 | 2022 | 200 pages | EPUB | 1099 KB
During a bus ride with a group of fellow college students, Jenny Booth Potter came to a life-changing realization. She decided that racism in all its forms―in policies and systems, in organizations and churches, in neighborhoods and families-could no longer be tolerated. And even though Jenny didn't know what to do about racism, she was certain of one thing: doing nothing is no longer an option. That declaration Jenny made to her peers was more than seven words uttered on a bus. It was a
Your Mind Is Your Teacher: Self-Awakening through Contemplative Meditation By Khenpo Gawang
2013 | 212 Pages | ISBN: 1590309979 | EPUB | 2 MB
DescriptionThis concise handbook of Tibetan Buddhist teachings, designed for Western students, is centered on a sitting practice called Contemplative Meditation. This practice can be used as a way to change troublesome habits, even by someone with little knowledge of Buddhism. Although the teachings are based it on a nineteenth-century text by Lama Mipham, they are presented in a non-scholarly way, with examples drawn from modern life and everyday experience. In particular, the author addresses the unique attitudes and questions of twenty-first-century Westerners who are exploring Buddhism.The practice taught in the book consists of a reflection on four subjects, known as the Four Seals of the Buddha's teaching: multiplicity, impermanence, suffering, and emptiness. Khenpo Gawang Rinpoche explains how to investigate each of these topics in a way that helps you recognize your innate wisdom mind, which is your ultimate teacher. Once you learn how to examine your own mind and your life with this method, you will start to look at everything differently. By helping to dissolve negative thoughts and habits, the practice can increase your focus, confidence, self-esteem, and happiness.Along with exercises and questions, short readings, a glossary, and checklists for study, this book provides a complete handbook, with simple instructions for additional practices: * the Ninefold Exhalation, a breathing method for expelling stale air before meditation * visualization of buddhas and great teachers to inspire practice * the practice of bodhichitta, or generating love and compassion for all beings * the seven-branch offering, seven devotional thoughts to strengthen efforts * dedication of merit-the positive energy from the meditation--for the benefit of all beingsFinally, the appendix gives translations of two short readings: The Wheel of Analytical Meditation by Lama Mipham, which is the source of this book's teaching, and the Heart Sutra, a famous brief teaching on emptiness, along with a traditional commentary.Review"Khenpo Gawang Rinpoche has prepared this meditation handbook, Your Mind Is Your Teacher, for Western students based on the teachings of Mipham Rinpoche. He presents a clear explanation of analytical meditation, based on the Four Seals and the Heart Sutra, with the intention of making it as accessible as possible even to those who may not consider themselves Buddhists. Presenting the Buddha's teachings in a way that makes it easier for people to use them to effect a transformation of their minds is a work of true spiritual friendship."-H.H. the Dalai LamaAbout the AuthorKhenpo Gawang Rinpoche is the founder and spiritual director of Pema Karpo Meditation Center in Memphis, Tennessee. Having completed twenty-seven years as a monk, twelve years of teaching experience, and nine years of study at the Buddhist University of Namdroling Monastery in South India, he holds a Khenpo degree, the Buddhist equivalent of a PhD. Gawang Rinpoche came to the United States in 2004 at the invitation of Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche and Shambhala International. He proudly became an American citizen in 2012.

Greg Sheridan, "God Is Good for You: A Defence of Christianity in Troubled Times"
English | 2019 | pages: 368 | ISBN: 1760632600 | EPUB | 0,9 mb
Judeo-Christian traditions have underpinned the moral and legal fabric of Western civilization for more than 2000 years, yet now we've reached a point where Christianity is becoming a minority faith rather than the mainstream belief. It's a situation that's fraught both for Christians and wider society, where the moral certainties that were the foundation of our institutions and laws are no longer held by the majority. At this point of crisis for faith, God is Good for You shows us why Christianity is vital for personal and social well-being. It carries a vital torch for Christianity in a way that's closely argued, warmly human, good humored yet passionate, and, above all, convincing.

Across public discourse, in the media, politics, many branches of academic inquiry, and ordinary daily interactions, we spend a lot time talking about race: race relations, racial violence, discrimination based on race, racial integration, racial progress. It is fair to say that questions about race have vexed our social life. But for all we speak about race, do we know what race is? Is it a social construct or a biological object? Is it a bankrupt holdover from a time before sophisticated scientific understanding and genetics, or can it still hold up in biological, genetic, and other types of research? Most fundamentally, is race real?
