A delightful volume that I will surely revisit again.TheZenSite.com mong the writings from the Dunhuang caves, discovered in the mid-twentieth century, are the Zen equivalent of the Dead Sea Scrollsancient texts unknown for centuries. The Ceasing of Notions is one such text. It takes a unique form: a dialogue between two imaginary figures, a master and his disciple, in which the disciple tenaciously pursues the masters pithy utterances with follow-up questions that propel the dialogue toward ever more profound insights. And these questions prove to be the readers very own. Soko Morinaga brings alive this compact and brilliant text with his own vivid commentary. This volume also includes a generous selection from Morinagas acclaimed autobiography, Novice to Master: An Ongoing Lesson in the Extent of My Own Stupidity.

Praise for Novice to Master: Sublime.Publishers Weekly One cant help but be drawn to the genuine tone of Morinagas voice and his sense of humor.Shambhala Sun A real gem.Tricycle: The Buddhist Review

SONG OF THE ROAD
The Poetic Travel Journal of Tsarchen Losel Gyatso Cyrus Stearns
Cloth | 6.5x7.5 | 192 pages | $24.95 9781614290551 eBook 9781614290667 January 2013

n Song of the Road, Tsarchen Losel Gyatso, an unsurpassed sixteenthcentury master of the Sakya tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, weaves ecstatic poetry, song, and accounts of visionary experiences into a record of pilgrimage to central Tibet. Translated for the first time here, Tsarchens work, a favorite of the Fifth Dalai Lama, brims with strikingly detailed reports of divine and apocalyptic visions, as well as lyrical depictions of Tibetan landscapes that vividly capture the spiritual awe they inspire. The literary flights of Song of the Road are anchored by Tsarchens candid observations on the social and political climate of his day, including a rare example in Tibetan literature of open critique of religious power. In his introduction and copious notes to the translation, Cyrus Stearns unpacks the dimensions of meaning concealed in the text, excavating the history, legends, and lore associated with people and places encountered on the pilgrimage, fully revealing the spiritual topography over which Tsarchens long road carried him.

CyRuS STeARnS is one of the most admired

translators of Tibetan literature today. His numerous books include Taking the Result As the Path, Hermit of Go Cliffs, and King of the Empty Plain. He is currently a fellow at the Tsadra Foundation and a translator for The Library of Tibetan Classics. He lives in the woods on Whidbey Island, north of Seattle, Washington.

Dalton, uC Berkeley ne of the masterworks of Tsongkhapa, A Lamp to Illuminate the Five Stages represents his systematic presentation of the theory and practice of highest yoga tantra, based extensively on Indian predecessors of tantric Buddhism, such as ngrjuna, ryadeva, Candrakrti, and nropa. The text, which treats material traditionally considered secret, explains in judicious and illuminating detail the yogic practice of manipulating bodily energy, the meditative union of bliss and emptiness, and meditations that harness the moment of death to actualize enlightenment. Shining with his famed intellectual acuity, Tsongkhapas Lamp sheds much-needed light on the often-misunderstood world of highest yoga tantra.

192 pages | $16.95 9781614290490 eBook 9781614290605 March 2013

Jaffe, Duke university Offers a signicant perspective for the expanding interfaith dialogue between Buddhism and the diverse world of contemporary spiritual movements.Alfred Bloom, emeritus Professor, university of Hawaii A must read.Kenneth Kenshin Tanaka, Musashino university and International Association of Shin Buddhist Studies

n his Heart of the Shin Buddhist Path, Takamaro Shigaraki examines Shin Buddhism anew as a practical path of spiritual growth and self-transformation, challenging assessments of the tradition as a passive religion of mere faith. Shigaraki presents the core themes of the Shin Buddhist path in fresh, engaging, down-to-earth language, considering each frankly from both secular and religious perspectives. Shigaraki discloses a nondual Pure Land that finds philosophical kinship with Zen but has been little discussed in the West. With its unassuming language and insights drawn from a life of practice, Heart of the Shin Buddhist Path dispels the fog of misconception that has shrouded Western appreciation of Shin traditions to reveal the limitless light of Amida Buddha that reaches all.
