Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buddhism has influenced Western thinking like no other Eastern religion, and even people who have no interest in adopting it wholeheartedly, acknowledge the wisdom of its philosophical insights. 1001 Pearls of Buddhist Wisdom is an inspiring collection of the wisest, most enlightening and most comforting Buddhist thought, drawn from the various schools within this ancient spiritual tradition. The book covers basic themes of universal relevance - such as the beauty of nature, good and bad karma, the importance of empathy, how to deal with stress and anxiety, how to meditate successfully, how to be happy, and the joy to be found in service to others. Part one examines the life of the Buddha, his place in history and his teachings. Part two illustrates Buddhist thought with quotes - the wealth of quotations comes from teachers, thinkers and gurus through the ages and across the world, from the Buddha himself to Arthur Schopenhauer and other (not necessarily Buddhist) thinkers of the European tradition, as well as leading Buddhists of today such as the 14th Dalai Lama. Part three demonstrates how the Buddha is all around us and how we can embrace that into our lives. Full of accessible Eastern wisdom, this is a book to explore in a spirit of joyous, hopeful adventure - there is so much here to inspire, instruct, and help you find the road to inner peace and happiness... and even, perhaps, nirvana.

Book excerpt: "Extraordinary Freedom is an approachable and straightforward invitation to open to life, to inquire within, and to go beyond confusion and live in the light of awareness. By becoming conscious of our inner world, our habits, beliefs, neurosis, and attachments there is an opportunity to see their empty nature and in doing so transform our lives. The wisdom we need is already within us, it is who we are. By living in awareness and gaining insight we discover this for ourselves."--Adapted from cover

Book excerpt: As a twelve-year-old novice monk, Venerable Master Hsing Yun discovered that personal prayer increased his strength and enhanced his faith. However, the long, profound monastic prayers recited publicly at the monastery were difficult for a beginner to understand. He made a vow then, over sixty years ago, to compose a set of accessible prayers through which Buddhists could express their hopes, celebrate achievements, and fulfill the needs of society. A lifetime of devotion to the Buddha and service to humanity has cultivated the Master's understanding of the importance, the usefulness, and the power of prayer. This book of prayers is the fruit of that cultivation, and the Master offers it to the world to help us in our daily practice. Prayer is not just a catch phrase; it is a practice to be integrated into one's life. With these prayers, readers can express hopes and needs about themselves, their families, their communities, their nations, and the world. The Master expresses his hope that we will recite one prayer each day, to "raise our faith to a higher lever, advance our compassionate virtues, be able to communicate with all Buddhas and bodhisattvas, and comprehend the needs of the masses of society."
