Journey Without Goal

Publisher: Shambhala Publications
ISBN: 0834821370
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
Meditation master Chögyam Trungpa demystifies the Tantric tradition of Buddhism in this accessible guide for curious students Based on the author’s talks at Naropa University, this volume introduces the reader to the principles of tantra, based on the practice of meditation, which leads to the discovery of egolessness. Trungpa Rinpoche provides a direct and experiential picture of the tantric world, explaining the importance of self-existing energy, the mandala principle, the difference between Buddhist and Hindu tantra—stressing the nontheistic foundation of Buddhism. The role of the teacher and the meaning of tantric transmission are also presented. Written for the student of Buddhism rather than the scholar, Journey without Goal demystifies the vajrayana and at the same time affirms the power and sacredness of its ancient teaching.

Journey Without Maps
Author: Graham Greene
Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 1504053982
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
The British author embarks on an awe-inspiring trek through 1930s West Africa in “one of the best travel books [of the twentieth] century” (The Independent). When Graham Greene left Liverpool in 1935 for what was then an Africa unmarked by colonization, it was to leave the known transgressions of his own civilization behind for those unknown. First by cargo ship, then by train and truck through Sierra Leone, and finally on foot, Greene embarked on a dangerous and unpredictable 350-mile, four-week trek through Liberia with his cousin, and a handful of servants and bearers, into a world where few had ever seen a white man. For Greene, this odyssey became as much a trip into the primitive interiors of the writer himself as it was a physical journey into a land foreign to his experience. “No one who reads this book will question the value of Greene’s experiment, or emerge unshaken by the penetration, the richness, the integrity of this moving record.” —The Guardian

Book Description
Two friends. One pact. The performance of their lives. Hannah Abbott is stuck in a dead-end relationship and at a job she loves but that barely pays the bills. The four walls of her tiny New York City apartment have never seemed so small. She’s barely toasted her thirtieth birthday when her old college friend Will knocks on her door with an unexpected proposal. Will Thorne never forgot the marriage pact he made with Hannah, but he also never imagined he’d be the one to initiate it. One ex-fiancée and an almost-career-ending mistake later, however, he finds himself outside Hannah’s door, on bended knee, to collect on their graduation-night pinky promise. With both of their futures at stake, Hannah and Will take a leap of faith. Now, all they have to do is convince their friends and family that they’re madly in love. As long as they follow the list of rules they’ve drafted, everything should go smoothly. Except Will has never been good with rules, and Hannah can’t stop overthinking the sleeping arrangements. Turning thirty has never been so promising.

Enter These Gates
Author: Alden Solovy
Publisher: CCAR Press
ISBN: 0881236527
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 173
Book Description
Enter These Gates is a High Holy Day companion for our times, with more than one hundred new poems, prayers, and meditations for Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur. Poet-liturgist Alden Solovy draws from his unique spirit to blend today's struggles and joys with classic themes, layering a contemporary voice into beloved motifs. Enter These Gates is a vital resource for individual prayer, study, and communal worship. Themes include confession, repentance, forgiveness, and memory, as well as frailty, seeing holiness, and what Solovy calls "the ancient journey." A companion to the machzor, Enter These Gates offers a fresh yet deeply rooted approach to heightening our experience of the Days of Awe. It is said that no one can put into words "the fragrance of a rose," but Alden Solovy comes very close. His poetry bridges the worlds of sacred and everyday; to read him is to get closer to the Divine. As a worship leader, these poems are essential in my preparation. Their mix of honesty and hope is redemptive. ---Rabbi Edwin Goldberg, coeditor of Mishkan HaNefesh: Machzor for the Days of Awe As in all of Alden Solovy's poetry, Enter These Gates sings to us and opens our hearts. The melody of his words moves us to find new meaning in a piece of liturgy or a Biblical text. He understands our questions, fears, and hopes, and gives voice to them all. ---Merri Lovinger Arian, Professor of Practice, Debbie Friedman School of Sacred Music, Hebrew Union College--Jewish Institute of Religion Once again, Alden Solovy demonstrates why he is one of the great pay'tanim (liturgical poets) of our time. With depth and warmth, he opens a window onto the Jewish soul. His words are desperately needed during these challenging times; they will lift us all to God. ---Rabbi Jeffrey K. Salkin, author of Tikkun Ha'Am/Repairing Our People: Israel and the Crisis of Liberal Judaism Alden Solovy's prayer poems give each and every one of us a language for seeking after and hoping for a direct and intimate experience of God. His pieces powerfully resonate with the traditional prayers, but make space for us as individuals. ---From the foreword by Rabbi Naamah Kelman, Dean, HUC-JIR in Jerusalem, 2008-23
