10 Questions for the Dalai Lama CD
|
|
 |
| The experience of listening to the music on this soundtrack, by multi Grammy nominated pianist/composer Peter Kater, is best described as sublime. With guest appearances by chanting Tibetan monk and teacher, Tulku Orgyen: Tibetan flutist Nawang Khechog; and Native American flutist R Carlos Nakai, the listener is beckoned to step off the plateau of worldly affairs into the realm of self-realization and divine grace. The Tibetan bowls, cello, piano, strings and flutes add to the music's sweet spiritual seducton and give the listener the sense that the questions, once so seemingly urgent and consuming, have already been answered and dissolved by beautiful strains of flowing harmony and musical bliss. |

10 Questions for the Dalai Lama DVD
|
|
 |
In10 Questions for the Dalai Lama cinematographer/writer/director Rick Ray (Raise the Bamboo Curtain; The Soul of India) masterfully weaves the spiritual and historical to produce an illuminating portrait of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. Filmed at his place of exile, a modest Buddhist monastery in Dharamsala, India, 10 Questions or the Dalai Lama includes rare archival footage of the Dalai Lama's youth; the Chinese invasion and the consequential struggle.
The interview encompasses issues of Tibet's conflicted political history with China, democracy, freedom of speech, globalisation and modernity, raising such questions as : How do you reconcile commitment to non-violence when faced with violence: Why do the poor often seem happier than the rich? Must a society lose its traditions in order to move into the future: The film is also charmed by the spiritual leader's personality revealing a jovial, charismatic, relentlessly curious and wise man. |

Advice on Dying and Living a Better Life CD
|
|
 |
| 5CD. "Everyone dies, but no one is dead," goes the Tibetan saying. It is with these words that Advice on Dying takes flight. Using a seventeenth-century poem written by a prominent scholar practitioner, His Holiness the Dalai Lama draws from a wide range of traditions and beliefs to explore the stages we all go through when we die, which are the very same stages we experience in life when we go to sleep, faint, or reach orgasm (Shakespeare's "little death").
The stages are described so vividly that we can imagine the process of travelling deeper into the mind, on the ultimate journey of transformation. In this way, His Holiness shows us how to prepare for that time and, in doing so, how to enrich our time on earth, die without fear or upset, and influence the stage between this life and the next so that we may gain the best possible incarnation. As always, the ultimate goal is to advance along the path to enlightenment. Advice on Dying is an essential tool for attaining that eternal bliss. |

After the Ecstasy, the Laundry CD
|
|
 |
| 8CD. When does enlightenment come? At the end of the spiritual journey? Or the beginning? On After the Ecstasy, the Laundry, Jack Kornfield brings into focus the truth about enlightenment practices through the stories of people today who have tasted satori, the awakened state of consciousness. Taking us from the first stage of sacred longing, and through the gates of awakening, Kornfield for the first time makes sense out of the paradoxes, joys, and failings we inevitable face - even after years of meditation and spiritual practices. Perfect enlightenment appears in many texts, Kornfield begins. But how is it viewed among Western teachers and practitioners? What is the truth about enlightenment today? To find out, Kornfield talked to more than one hundred Zen masters, rabbis, nuns, lamas, monks, and senior meditation students from all walks of life. The result is this extraordinary look at the hard work we all must do - the laundry - no matter how often we experience ecstatic states of consciousness through meditation and other disciplines. Sweeping in its scope, and warmly told by one of American Buddhism's most trusted voices. After the Ecstasy, the Laundry is both a work of deep inspiration and daily instruction that cuts through the confusion about what enlightenment really is, who it comes to, and how it continues to inform and guide our spiritual lives. |

Anxiety in the Nucler Age
|
|
 |
In January 2007, the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists (www.thebulletin.org) moved the minute hand of the Doomsday Clock forward two minutes, to five minutes to midnight, the figurative end of civilization, citing the perils of the earth's 27,000 nuclear weapons - 2,000 of them ready to launch within minutes - as one of the main reasons for doing so.
They said, "We stand at the brink of a Second Nuclear Age. Not since the first atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki has the world faced such perilous choices."
In two public lectures in California in July 1983, Lama Yeshe addressed the perils of the First Nuclear Age, exacerbated at that time by the Cold War and Americans' worries over the Soviet nuclear threat. Although the nature of our current concerns is different, Lama's observations and insights are as relevant today as they were when he first made them and we are honored to bring them to you on the DVD. |

Art of Happiness CD
|
|
 |
| 3CD. Nearly every time you see him, he's laughing, or at least he's smiling. And he makes everyone else around him feel like smiling. He's the Dalai Lama, the spiritual and temporal leader of Tibet, the Nobel Prize winner, and increasingly popular speaker and statesman. Why is he so popular? Even after spending just a few minutes in his presence you can't help feeling just a little bit happier.
The Dalai Lama is probably one of the only people in the world who if you ask him if he's happy, even though he's suffered the loss of his country, will give you an unconditional "yes." What's more, he'll tell you that happiness is the purpose of life, and that "the very motion of our life is towards happiness." How to get them has always been the question. He's tried to answer it before, but he's never had the help of a psychiatrist to get the message across in a context we can easily understand.
Through meditations, stories and the meeting of Buddhism and psychology, the Dalai Lama shows us how to defeat day-to-day depression, anxiety, anger, jealousy, or just an ordinary bad mood. He discusses relationships, health, family, work, and spirituality to show us how to ride through life's obstacles on a deep and abiding source of inner peace. Based on 2500 years of Buddhist meditations mixed with a healthy dose of common sense, The Art of Happiness is an audiobook that crosses the boundaries of all traditions to help listeners with the difficulties common to all human beings. |
