Book Description
As a new year rounds the corner, Dahlia Sen Oberoi, a hotshot lawyer whose life revolves around court appearances, client meetings and trotting around the globe, finds herself yearning for something more. With a lifelong passion for fitness, Yoga was something that she had dabbled in as an amateur enthusiast. And when she discovers a Yoga teacher's training course offered by an ashram, she forces herself to face the question: If not now, when? And so she sets off on her quest to move away from her uncompromising life as a lawyer and find some calm. Living sans her precious laptop, attending lectures on the Gita, learning and perfecting new asanas, and spending her days washing bartans and cleaning dormitories, is at first a struggle. But gradually, her self-doubt and restlessness wash away. Emotions are kept in rein, arrogance gives way to acceptance, and as Dahlia gets used to this new existence, she rediscovers herself in surprisingly new ways. At once profound and humorous, this delightfully candid account of her 30-day-long transformational sojourn will take readers on a joyous and emotionally rich journey. Ashramed is sprinkled with laughter and wisdom, and the assurance that in life, there are no timestamps, that it is always a good idea to take chances and embark on a journey of self-transformation, and most importantly, that it is never too late to do what you love.

Eminent Buddhist Women
Author: Karma Lekshe Tsomo
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 1438451326
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
Eminent Buddhist Women reveals the exemplary legacy of Buddhist women through the centuries. Despite the Buddha's own egalitarian values, Buddhism as a religion has been dominated by men for more than two thousand years. With few exceptions, the achievements of Buddhist women have remained hidden or ignored. The narratives in this book call into question the criteria for "eminence" in the Buddhist tradition and how these criteria are constructed and controlled. Each chapter pays a long-overdue tribute to one woman or a group of women from across the Buddhist world, including the West. Using a variety of sources, from orally transmitted legends to firsthand ethnographic research, contributors examine the key issues women face in their practice of Buddhist ethics, contemplation, and social action. What emerges are Buddhist principles that transcend gender: loving kindness, compassion, wisdom, spiritual attainment, and liberation.

Reawakening the Spirit in Work
Author: Jack Hawley
Publisher: Berrett-Koehler Publishers
ISBN: 9781881052227
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 238
Book Description
""The key questions for today's managers and leaders"", writes Jack Hawley, ""are no longer issues of task and structure, but questions of spirit....not religion, spirit"". We all yearn for spiritually rooted qualities at work - integrity, character, inspiration, belief, and even reverence - qualities that are key factors in an enterprise's success. Hawley provides a direct response to the widespread desire for spirituality at work, offering a practical vision of work permeated with ""dharma"" - deep integrity fusing spirit, character, human values, and decency. He shows how successful leaders or managers who are motivated by a spiritual vision liberate the best in people, and explains why all leadership is spiritual. He provides many examples of people actually living by their inner truth at work, and shows how such people can create an improved place to work and a better life as well as a more resilient, effective organization that is prepared to meet the challenges of the present and future.

Traversing the Heart
Author: Richard Kearney
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004194274
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 536
Book Description
The key wager of Traversing the Heart - Journeys of the Inter-religious Imagination is that a spiritual imaginary operating at the level of metaphor, narrative, symbol and epiphany can traverse the borders of dogma and ideology and open genuine conversations between wisdom traditions. Like every hermeneutics of the heart, this journey begins to unfold in a concrete space and time: the interreligious conference at Bangalore in June 2007. While this collection does not claim to cover the religious traditions of all continents, its concluding essay on transculturation in Andean-Christian art highlights the importance of the North-South dialogue as a necessary supplement to the East-West one largely addressed in the book. As a call to future journeys and dialogue, this volume aims to communicate the one seminal lesson learned during the India conference: that in our third millennium, religions will be inter-religious or they will not be at peace.
