Illumined by his own lucid commentary, McLeod makes this ancient poem relevant and accessible to today's seeker.The Jigmé Lingpa poem has three sections: how conceptual thinking corrupts deep contemplative practice; the timeless freedom of direct awareness (the Buddhist equivalent of gnosis in Christianity); and subtle errors one often makes in this practice and how to correct them. McLeod's book is likewise divided into three sections. The first is a thoughtful introduction to the text and McLeod's relationship with it; the second is his beautiful and evocative translation of Jigmé Lingpa's poem; the third and main part of the book is his verse-by-verse commentary through which he illuminates the meaning of the poem.

A novice’s attention would jump from opponent to opponent in an anxious attempt to defend himself. Such a strategy soon tires the warrior, who will be defeated. An expert warrior will spread his attention evenly in all directions but still experience anxiety as he mentally plans his strategy. His thought and anxiety may be his downfall if his opponents are truly skilled. A master’s attention, like the expert’s, is spread evenly, but he remains as calm as the surface of a still lake. With no predetermined idea of what his actions might be, his body takes the right action without a single thought.\u003cbr\u003eYou may wonder how the Samurai’s experience bears any resemblance to your modern life. After all, no armies or assassins seem to be trying to attack you or your town. In one way, we modern people are not so different from the Samurai.

The Warrior’s Meditation helps you access and express from that depth naturally.\u003cbr\u003eSurprisingly, a significant body of scientific research verifies the benefits associated with regular meditation practice. Below are some of the benefits that one is likely to experience through daily meditation: Boosts health through improved immune function, decreased cellular inflammation and pain. Boosts happiness by increasing positive emotion while decreasing anxiety, depression, and stress. Improves your ability to introspect, which provides a more holistic, grounded life perspective. Improves your social life as it increases emotional intelligence and compassion while reducing feelings of insecurity. Improves your brain by increasing grey matter in areas related to paying attention, positive emotions, emotional regulation, and self-control. Reduces emotional reactivity. Improves memory, creativity and abstract thinking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Warrior's Meditation is unlike any meditation.

Yet belief in wizard-saints who protect their devotees and intervene in the world is widespread among Burmese Buddhists. The Buddha’s Wizards is a historically informed ethnographic study that explores the supernatural landscape of Buddhism in Myanmar to explain the persistence of wizardry as a form of lived religion in the modern era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThomas Nathan Patton explains the world of wizards, spells, and supernatural powers in terms of both the broader social, political, and religious context and the intimate roles that wizards play in people’s everyday lives. He draws on affect theory, material and visual culture, long-term participant observation, and the testimonies of the devout to show how devotees perceive the protective power of wizard-saints. Patton considers beliefs and practices associated with wizards to be forms of defending Buddhist traditions from colonial and state power and culturally sanctioned responses to restrictive gender roles. The book also offers a new lens on the political struggles and social transformations that have taken place in Myanmar in recent years. Featuring close attention to the voices of individual wizard devotees and the wizards themselves, The Buddha’s Wizards provides a striking new look at a little-known aspect of Buddhist belief that helps expand our ways of thinking about the daily experience of lived religious practices.","brand":"Paperback","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50420702413115,"sku":"25070600046","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0841\/5376\/2107\/files\/7932893482270.jpg?v=1752004810"},{"product_id":"9781611809022","title":"Rebirth: A Guide to Mind, Karma, and Cosmos in the Buddhist World","description":"For anyone interested in what happens after death, this is a definitive guide to the concept of rebirth, or reincarnation, in Buddhism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReincarnation has been a popular belief in cultures throughout the world for many millennia.

Some of those poignant messages are:\u003cbr\u003e· Learning is always in the active present; it has no past.\u003cbr\u003e· We follow another’s authority, another’s experience and then doubt it; this search for authority and its sequel, disillusionment, it a painful process for most of us.\u003cbr\u003e· You discover yourself, not in isolation, not in withdrawal, but in relationship.\u003cbr\u003e· The transformation of the world is brought about by the transformation of oneself, because the self is the product and a part of the total process of human existence.\u003cbr\u003eThe Book of Life is perfect for anyone interested in shifting their mindset, decreasing their stress levels, embracing a happier framework, and open to daily meditations.","brand":"Paperback","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50420710801723,"sku":"25070600066","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0841\/5376\/2107\/files\/15777833482209.jpg?v=1752004886"},{"product_id":"9781502836762","title":"The Pure Land Handbook: A Mahayana Buddhist Approach to Death and Rebirth","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Pure Land Dharma Door is the most popular form of Buddhism in Asia, though it is largely unknown in the West.

Composed in India in the first centuries of the Common Era, it is renowned for its inspiring message that all beings are destined for supreme enlightenment. Here, Donald Lopez provides an engaging and accessible biography of this enduring classic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLopez traces the many roles the Lotus Sutra has played in its travels through Asia, Europe, and across the seas to America. The story begins in India, where it was one of the early Mahayana sutras, which sought to redefine the Buddhist path. In the centuries that followed, the text would have a profound influence in China and Japan, and would go on to play a central role in the European discovery of Buddhism. It was the first Buddhist sutra to be translated from Sanskrit into a Western language―into French in 1844 by the eminent scholar Eugène Burnouf. That same year, portions of the Lotus Sutra appeared in English in The Dial, the journal of New England's Transcendentalists. Lopez provides a balanced account of the many controversies surrounding the text and its teachings, and describes how the book has helped to shape the popular image of the Buddha today. He explores how it was read by major literary figures such as Henry David Thoreau and Gustave Flaubert, and how it was used to justify self-immolation in China and political extremism in Japan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConcise and authoritative, this is the essential introduction to the life and afterlife of a timeless masterpiece.","brand":"Unknown Binding","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50420711326011,"sku":"25070600068","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0841\/5376\/2107\/files\/1509163482434.jpg?v=1752004893"},{"product_id":"9780874810417","title":"How to Know God: The Yoga Aphorisms of Patanjali","description":"\u003cp\u003eA major work on the practice of yoga and meditation.
