Description
The perfect book for our time. Filled with wisdom and practical help from one of the world's greatest thinkers - His Holiness, The Dalai Lama.

Author Bio
DALAI LAMA: Born in 1935 into a farming family in northeastern Tibet, the Fourteenth Dalai Lama was recognised early in his life as a reincarnation of the thirteenth Dalai Lama. By age four, he was enthroned in Lhasa. During the 1950s, the political stability of Tibet was threatened when China's People's Liberation Army entered the country and established a military presence. Increased tensions put the life of the Fourteenth Dalai Lama in danger, and in 1959, he fled the country at night to Dharamsala, India, where he established the Tibetan government in exile. HOWARD CUTLER, M.D. is an author, speaker, and pyschiatrist. He is a diplomat of The American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, and is on the editorial board of The American Journal of Psychotherapy. Dr. ... more

The God Delusion order quantity

NZ$ 30.00 each
Paperback
Author: Richard Dawkins
Published by: Bantam Press
In Stock: 2
"The God Delusion" caused a sensation when it was published in 2006. Within weeks it became the most hotly debated topic, with Dawkins himself branded as either saint or sinner for presenting his hard-hitting, impassioned rebuttal of religion of all types. His argument could hardly be more topical. While Europe is becoming increasingly secularized, the rise of religious fundamentalism, whether in the Middle East or Middle America, is dramatically and dangerously dividing opinion around the world. In America, and elsewhere, a vigorous dispute between 'intelligent design' and Darwinism is seriously undermining and restricting the teaching of science. In many countries religious dogma from medieval times still serves to abuse basic human rights such as women's and gay rights. And all from a belief in a God whose existence lacks evidence of any kind. Dawkins attacks God in all his forms. He eviscerates the major arguments for religion and ... more

1325 Buddhist Ways to Be Happy order quantity

NZ$ 37.00 each
Paperback
Author: Barbara Ann Kipfer
Published by: Ulysses Press
In Stock: 1
At the core of Buddha's teachings is the path to happiness. The Buddha himself was known as "The Happy One," so it's no surprise that Buddhism has produced a rich heritage of ways to be happy. This book gathers the best of these ideas and makes them accessible to modern readers.

1325 Buddhist Ways to Be Happy looks at everyday situations and provides the Buddha's and other Buddhist teachers' guidance for navigating them in a cheerful, positive way. The attainment of happiness has always been the goal of Buddhism, and even the Dalai Lama admits that one doesn't need to change religions to benefit from the teachings of the Happy One. The sayings in this book allow readers of any faith (or no faith) to explore the Buddha's ideas and relate them to their own personal quest for happiness.

This is an account of the evolution of belief, a story of worship and war.

The idea of a single divine being - God, Yahweh, Allah - has existed for over 4000 years. But the history of God is also the history of human struggle, as organized religion has too often been the catalyst for violence and prejudice.

Many people consider the Dalai Lama to be a living embodiment of the spiritual ideal of the bodhisattva - someone who dedicates their life to freeing all beings from suffering and confusion. Here this beloved teacher presents a detailed manual of practical philosophy based on the best-known text of Mahayana Buddhism, "The Way of the Bodhisattva" (Bodhicharyavatara). He explains and amplifies the text, illuminating its message of putting others before oneself and showing how anyone can develop a truly 'good heart'. This book was previously published under the title "A Flash of Lightning in the Dark of Night".

Review: "On many levels, the book is splendid as both an introduction to Buddhist spirituality and an explication of Shantideva for contemporary Westerners.""-Library Journal"

Christopher Hitchens has been hailed as one of the most brilliant journalists of our time' (London Observer). Here he makes the ultimate case against organised religion.With a detailed reading of the major religious texts, he documents the ways in which religion is a man-made wish, a cause of dangerous sexual repression, and a distortion of our origins in the cosmos. Hitchens frames the argument for a more secular life based on science and reason, in which hell is replaced by the Hubble Telescope's awesome view of the universe, and Moses and the burning bush give way to the beauty and symmetry of the double helix.With chapters entitled Religion Kills, The New' Testament Exceeds the Evil of the Old' One, The Koran is Borrowed from Both Jewish and Christian Myths, and Is Religion Child Abuse?Hitchens argues for a more secular life based on science and reason rather than the myths of a man-made wish.Christopher Hitchens is the author of ... more

'This is easily the most impressive of the present crop of atheistic and anti-theistic books: clever, broad, witty and brilliantly argued.' - Sydney Morning Herald.Christopher Hitchens has been hailed as 'one of the most brilliant journalists of our time' (UK Observer). Here he makes the ultimate case against organised religion.In God is Not Great, Hitchen tweezes through the major religious texts with forensic shrewdness. With chapters entitled Religion Kills', and Is Religion Child Abuse?', he fearlessly argues for a secular life based on science and reason, tarring religion as man-made "wish-thinking". He documents the ways in which religion is a cause of dangerous sexual repression and a distortion of our origins in the cosmos; in Hitchen's vision, hell is replaced by the Hubble telescope's view of the universe, and Moses and the burning bush give way to the double helix. Principally, Hitchens argues that the concept of an ... more

God's Zeal: The battle of the three monotheisms order quantity

NZ$ 48.00 each
Paperback
Author: Peter Sloterdijk
Published by: Polity Press
In Stock: 1
The conflicts between the three great monotheistic religions - Christianity, Judaism and Islam - are shaping our world more than ever before. In this important new book Peter Sloterdijk returns to the origins of monotheism in order to shed new light on the conflict of the faiths today. Following the polytheism of the ancient civilizations of the Egyptians, Hittites and Babylonians, Jewish monotheism was born as a theology of protest, as a religion of triumph within defeat. While the religion of the Jews remained limited to their own people, Christianity unfolded its message with proclamations of universal truth. Islam raised this universalism to a new level through a military and political mode of expansion. Sloterdijk examines the forms of conflict that arise between the three monotheisms by analyzing the basic possibilities stemming from anti-Paganism, anti-Judaism, anti-Islamism and anti-Christianism. These possibilities were ... more
