 Awakening The Buddha Within
by Lama Surya Das
A practical, contemplative book that illuminates sometimes complex topics such as the Buddhist 'self-less' nature of reality. Awakening the Buddha Within was an insight received at a gathering of school children in Texas. Listening to the sound of the gong meditation provides the gateway to sustained attention in the present. A wonderful blend of personal narrative, Dharma and vibrant meditation instruction. A book that can be given to anyone wishing to step into the world of Buddhism but not knowing how to take the first step. There is a step by step thorough explanation of the Buddhist Eight Fold Path. We are guided in easy to use Compassion meditation, Chanting and Mindfulness Meditation. Lama Surya Das recalls the words of his first teacher, Lama Yeshe, "Open your heart, Awaken your mind." A wonderful step onto the Buddhist path. Reviewed by Jacqueline Mandell

 Boundless Healing
by Tulku Thondup
What a wonderful treasury of exquisite meditation excercises forhealing. The first half of the book encourages us to focus on four healing powers of mind: positive images, words, feelings and beliefs. These techniques are offered by a survivor of the Tibetan exile steeped in the foundations of Tibetan Medicine. The four elements of earth, water, fire and air and space are utilized. Corresponding colors are brought in to lead us to the stated highest understanding of matter-light. Tulku Thondup teaches us that seeing oneself as a body of light can bring clarity, pure joy and luminosity. There are precise instructions on seeing each cell as light. We also receive an introduction to the ancient Buddhist tradition of visualizing physiological body parts. Boundless Healing is an unencumbered guide with direct access to previously hidden methods.

 Buddhism Decoder
by Dynamo House
For anyone who just can't keep all of those Buddhist terms, dieties, doctrines and symbols in mind, this 3 piece fold out is fantastic!! There are three wheels that each decode: The Life of the Buddha, The Buddhist Doctrines, The Buddhist Symbols, The Schools of Buddhism. This square, handy to carry, lightweight piece will both aid one in reading Buddhist literature, discussing various aspects of Buddhism with a friend or a class and keep all of the facts straight and accurate. The cover is a beautiful collage of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. A pleasing, fun gift as well as a handy reference guide. This is just one of the new ideas that has developed as Buddhism has planted itself in the west with all traditions, doctrines and cultural overtones converging. This decoder will help to keep it all straight so that there is no getting lost in Buddhist language, diety confusion or the Tibetan Buddhist symbols. What a delight. Reviewed by Jacqueline Mandell.
