Item Description

Brought to you by experts Danny Fisher and Shambhala Publications the "Buddhism 101" reading list is an ideal core set of titles whether for new meditators or seasoned practitioners. 

Originally published as Entering the Stream, The Buddha and His Teachings book offers a simple and inspiring answer to the question "What is the Buddha's teaching?" primarily in the words of the Buddha and other masters.  

The Dhammapada is the most widely read Buddhist scripture in existence, enjoyed by both Buddhists and non-Buddhists. This classic text of teaching verses from the earliest period of Buddhism in India conveys the philosophical and practical foundations of the Buddhist tradition.

A collection of talks Pema Chodron gave between 1987 and 1994, When Things Fall Apart is a treasury of wisdom for going on living when we are overcome by pain and difficulties.

In What Really Helps it is shown that through mindfulness we develop a fearless, compassionate presence in our daily lives—and we become better listeners, take wiser actions, and give more valuable, effective guidance to the people we’d like to help.

Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism "takes the key teaching of the Vajrayana—to find the sacred in everything, even the 'profane'—and shapes it into one of the most jolting, important works of spiritual writing you will ever read."

Rev. Danny Fisher, MDiv, DBS., is a professor and coordinator of the Buddhist Chaplaincy Program at University of the West in Rosemead, California.
