 Good
Medicine:
Heart Practices for Difficult Times
Pema Chodron
In Good Medicine, Pema Chodron continues the teachings of When Things Fall
Apart, showing how at the core of the most painful experiences lie the seeds
of spiritual awakening. Here she presents key teachings on recognizing and cultivating
the "soft spot" that is the gateway to compassion and open-heartedness.
She discusses the four great catalysts of awakening, and how to integrate them into
our lives; the basic goodness that is inherently ours; how the three noble principles
can enrich everything that we do; the matri meditation that multiples love; why an
attitude of "don't know" can be wiser than the world's greatest spiritual
teachings; and how to keep the heart open with equal fearlessness to both heartache
and delight. $29.95.
Toward a Psychology of Awakening
John Welwood
Can the meditative traditions of Buddhism be integrated with the practice of Western
psychology? John Welwood comprehensively addresses this question by looking at three
major dimensions of human existence: personal, interpersonal and suprapersonal. A
penetrating look at Buddhism, psychotherapy and the emerging synthesis between the
the two.$39.95.
