Listen to this audiobook in full for free on http://hotaudiobook.com Title: Giving Our BestSubtitle: A Retreat with Pema Chödrön on Practicing the Way of the BodhisattvaAuthor: Pema ChödrönNarrator: Pema ChödrönFormat: Original RecordingLength: 3 hrs and 52 minsLanguage: EnglishRelease date: 12-26-17Publisher: Random House AudioGenres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern ReligionsPublisher's Summary:The best-selling author and beloved Buddhist teacher shares her insights on the practice of compassion and enlightened mind (bodhichitta).Compassion is a skill. It's not a special trait that we either have or don't, but a practice that we can all nurture in our daily lives. And the benefits are vast. It liberates our hearts from a narrow sense of self, expands our sense of well-being, and so much more. Of course, it's not always easy. But when we learn to work with our adversities and fears, whatever it is that might be keeping us stuck, then we find that we gradually and naturally become more open, joyful, and free. And it is this very freedom that enlivens us and allows us to become truly available to the people around us.In this recorded retreat, Pema Chödrön reveals all the essentials for practicing compassion in our everyday lives, using a text that is very close to her heart: the Buddhist classic known as The Way of the Bodhisattva. Here she focuses on its first chapter and primary subject, the enlightened heart and mind (bodhichitta), showing us how this awakened state is available to us here and now, right where we are.

Listen to this audiobook in full for free on http://hotaudiobook.com Title: The Inner Secret: Faqir Chand on VisionsAuthor: David Christopher LaneNarrator: Don AbadFormat: UnabridgedLength: 1 hr and 9 minsLanguage: EnglishRelease date: 12-22-17Publisher: MSAC Philosophy GroupRatings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votesGenres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern ReligionsPublisher's Summary:There is no doubt in my mind that Faqir Chand is one of the most important shabd yoga masters in history and that his frank confessions of unknowingness are of vital importance for those interested in religion and spiritual masters. Faqir reveals what other gurus will not. Here in the MSAC Philosophy Group at Mt. San Antonio College, it is our wish to republish almost all of Faqir Chand's books and pamphlets in English and give them a wider audience. This book, The Secret of Inner Visions, contains judicious selections from Faqir's small book, The Essence of Truth. Since the latter book contains more or less verbatim transcriptions from several of Faqir Chand's satsangs, readers should be aware of its more vernacular and informal tone. Nevertheless, a close reading of Faqir Chand's radical thinking will undoubtedly have a liberating impact on the reader since he doesn't mince words.One of the most refreshing aspects of Faqir's philosophy is that he readily admits that he doesn't ultimately know anything (similar to his Greek counterpart, Socrates, and the Chinese poet Lao Tzu) and that he is most open to being wrong. In all my many travels to India and my interviews with scores of shabd yoga teachers, I have never met a more honest and forthcoming spiritual teacher than Faqir Chand. He is perhaps the most straightforward guru in history.In the early 1980s I coined the term the Chandian Effect, which describes in a nutshell what Faqir realized about inner visions and other miraculous incidents. Whenever a person has a spiritual vision of a holy man or woman, they invariably believe that such an apparition is real and manifests of its own accord. But according to Faqir Chand's realization, none of these visions are objectively real since they arise (even if unconsciously) from one's own mind and that the personage one beholds is ignorant about such a manifestation.

The concept of karma was first expressed in the ancient Hindu writings, known as the Vedas. Due to increased awareness and acceptance of eastern spiritual practices and philosophies worldwide these days, the concept of karma has become a widely accepted. It is a safe bet to say that almost the majority of us - regardless of culture, creed, and religion - do believe in some form of universal law that calls for us to act morally lest we will be faced with the repercussions. However, very few of us would take care not to violate this cosmic law.Consider this: do you ever feel like you are often at the wrong place, at the wrong time, and surrounded by the wrong people?It is as if the universe is conspiring against you. This is karma in motion. But if you often feel like a hopeless victim of fate, and believe that life can never go your way just like it had for everyone else, you could not have been more wrong.The karmic blueprint of your life is your own creation, and as such, you have the power within yourself to change it - for better or worse.Practical Buddhism for Karma Healing is a guide that will arm you with the right knowledge and practical tools to nurture your spiritual side and be free from the shackles of past "karmic debt". Using the principles and teachings of Buddhism, you will be guided towards fostering the right attitude that will have a profound positive effect on your daily life, and also help you attain inner peace. Before you know it, you will be attracting all the right people and circumstances into your life that will propel you to where we want to be. You owe it to yourself to take back the reigns of your destiny!

The people who know about this are using more of their innate potential and are transforming themselves, others, and the world for the better. It's because this energy is none other than the force of evolution that drives the entirety of creation, and nature has placed it upon the base of our spines.Ancient people have known about the Kundalini, and they guarded the knowledge intensely to prevent people from abusing its power. For thousands of years, knowledge of how to activate it is passed only from guru to carefully selected student and never to anyone else. This has changed during recent times, when Kundalini masters finally disseminated the information to outsiders. This outpouring of Kundalini knowledge is said to be a response to the needs of modern times.As science and technology developed, materialism grew in strength, and spirituality was shelved as a relic of the ignorant past. People became distracted by their inventions and separated themselves from nature and their very own souls. Thus, perhaps it is the spirit itself that enticed humans' interest in the spiritual - something that old religions have attempted to do but did not achieve completely.Kundalini awakening is just one of the ways in which one can return to the divine. Doing so does not only bring great joy; it also enables him or her to access more of the energy that runs throughout creation and see more of reality as it really is.What you will learn in this guide:

These sutras were compiled by Buddha's disciples to contain the essence of all his teachings. This was the last turning of the Wheel of Dharma, 2,500 years ago. At the beginning of his commentaries on these sutras, Osho says he is setting the Wheel of Dharma in motion again."Buddha transformed the word meditation. Meditation had always been something of the mind, and Buddha brought a new quality, so totally new, diametrically opposite to the old meaning: He said, meditation means a state of no mind. It is not concentration; it is not contemplation. It is not thinking; it is not thinking about God. It is not even prayer - because thinking is of the head, intellectual; prayer is emotional. That is another side of the head, not very far away from it; a different language used by another part of the head." (Osho)Talks are "meditating talks", allowing the listener an experience of meditation. "These words of Buddha come from eternal silence. They can reach you only if you receive them in silence."

Our perception of the scarcity of time is coupled with the epidemic of stress in the modern world, and when we don't have a positive connection with the flow of time, we lack purpose as well as develop health problems.The Art of Stopping Time offers specific meditations to empower the listener to feel like they have MORE time, even though they are probably busier than ever. This audiobook is based on the concept of a 100-Day Gong - an ancient Chinese technique for forming new habits over 100 days which the listener can simply work into their daily life. As the author explains, 'A Gong is a dedicated act of self-love and by practising these small but profound changes we are snapped out of our daily trance into the light of awareness, where we find peace and joy.'

Listen to this audiobook in full for free on http://hotaudiobook.com Title: Buddhism for BeginnersSubtitle: A Step-by-Step GuideAuthor: Michael HarrisNarrator: Matt HaynesFormat: UnabridgedLength: 38 minsLanguage: EnglishRelease date: 10-17-17Publisher: Michael HarrisRatings: 4.5 of 5 out of 15 votesGenres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern ReligionsPublisher's Summary:Buddhism is a religion and dharma that encompasses a variety of traditions, beliefs, and spiritual practices largely based on teachings attributed to the Buddha. Buddhism originated in Ancient India sometime between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE, from where it spread through much of Asia, whereafter it declined in India during the Middle Ages. Two major extant branches of Buddhism are generally recognized by scholars: Theravada ("The School of the Elders") and Mahayana ("The Great Vehicle"). Buddhism is the world's fourth-largest religion, with over 520 million followers or over 7% of the global population, known as Buddhists.Buddhist schools vary on the exact nature of the path to liberation, the importance and canonicity of various teachings and scriptures, and especially their respective practices. Practices of Buddhism include taking refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha, study of scriptures, observance of moral precepts, renunciation of craving and attachment, the practice of meditation (including calm and insight), the cultivation of wisdom, loving-kindness and compassion, the Mahayana practice of bodhicitta and the Vajrayana practices of generation stage and completion stage.In Theravada the ultimate goal is the cessation of the kleshas and the attainment of the sublime state of Nirvana, achieved by practicing the Noble Eightfold Path (also known as the Middle Way), thus escaping what is seen as a cycle of suffering and rebirth. Theravada has a widespread following in Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia.Mahayana, which includes the traditions of Pure Land, Zen, Nichiren Buddhism, Shingon and Tiantai (Tendai), is found throughout East Asia. Rather than Nirvana, Mahayana instead aspires to Buddhahood via the bodhisattva path, a state wherein one remains in the cycle of rebirth to help other beings reach awakening.

Osho also responds to seekers' questions, and no matter what the question may be, the answers he gives always convey the trust, oneness, and love experienced by the Bauls.

These talks will introduce you to the Baul's vision of "the essential man", the god who lives within us all, and Osho's vision of the body and human consciousness.

"Jesus became a great milestone in the history of consciousness. It is not just coincidental that Jesus' birth has become the most important date in history. Before Christ, one world; after Christ, a totally different world has existed - a demarcation in the consciousness of man." (Osho)"I will speak on Christ, but not on Christianity. Christianity has nothing to do with Christ. In fact, Christianity is anti-Christ - just as Buddhism is anti-Buddha and Jainism is anti-Mahavira. Christ has something in him which cannot be organized: the very nature of it is rebellion and rebellion cannot be organized." (Osho)
