Book Description
“Quite a read. It's a post-post - apocalyptic fiction filled with action, drama, and the will to survive.” –Library of Lashea “Wow! Where do I even start with this book? The one thing I can say with absolute certainty is that this book will grip you . . . and won't let you go until you finish it.” –A Dose of Reviews Nick Burke’s family is trapped on Ground 134. A new quarantine erected in the middle of the night seals off his neighborhood from the rest of the city. But Nick isn’t sick and his family isn’t, either. In fact, no one seems to be sick. More disturbing still, rumors circulate that quarantines on distant Grounds are becoming permanent, the affected people never heard from again. If he stays, he risks his family becoming sick or worse. The only way out is to break laws that carry a penalty of death. Fearing for his life and the safety of his family, Nick joins forces with a local group. But can he trust anyone with the lives of his family? Seven hundred years ago, a city walled itself off from the rest of earth's population, becoming N. Aarde. Decades after first containment, N. Aarde expanded upward, becoming a world unto itself. The inhabitants of this city-world have boomed to over eighty million people, but the history of why the world was built and what lies outside has been lost. This world is Nick's world.

The Lamp for the Eye of Contemplation
Author: Dylan Esler
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0197609902
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 545
Book Description
This book presents an English translation of the Samten Migdron (Lamp for the Eye of Contemplation) by Nubchen Sangye Yeshe, a seminal 10th-century Tibetan Buddhist work on contemplation. This treatise is one of the most important sources for the study of the various meditative currents that were transmitted to Tibet from India and China during the early dissemination of Buddhism in Tibet. Written from the vantage point of the Great Completeness (Dzogchen) and its vehicle of effortless spontaneity, it discusses, in the manner of a doxography, both sutra-based-including Chan-and tantric approaches to meditation. The unabridged, annotated English translation of this Tibetan treatise is preceded by a general introduction situating the author-a pivotal figure in what would become the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism-and their work in historical and doctrinal context. The detailed annotations provide elucidating comments as well as crucial references to the numerous texts quoted by the Tibetan author. This book makes this groundbreaking Tibetan work on meditation accessible in English and opens fascinating windows on early forms of contemplative practice in Tibet.
