Meditation and the Initiation Process
This book provides practical background information and teachings on meditation primarily for a Western audience. Through meditation, compassionately focused actions, and group sharing the Heart centre is awakened and Bodhicitta is manifested. For this to occur the development of wisdom is essential. The associated process concerning the path of Initiation into the Mysteries of being/non-being, the laws of group evolution, and the planetary Head centre (Shambhala) shall be provided. The subtleties of the Initiation path will be revealed through an esoteric interpretation of passages from the Bible, as the New Testament constitutes a major text on this subject. This philosophy is complimentary to the Buddhist foundation presented in the previous volumes of this series.**Valid for FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING - enter coupon code UDFREE in your cart**432 pages, softcover ©2014 **VIEW PREVIEW PDF HERE** -
Maṇḍalas - Their Nature and Development
This book deals with the question of what exactly constitutes a `cell’ metaphysically. The cell is viewed as a unit of consciousness that interrelate with other cells to form maṇḍalas of expression. Each such cell can be considered a form of `self’ that has a limited, though valid, body of expression. It is born, sustains a form of activity, and consequently dies when it outlives its usefulness. This mode of analysis is extended to include the myriad forms manifest in the world of phenomena known as saṃsāra including the existence and functioning of chakras.**Valid for FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING - enter coupon code UDFREE in your cart**480 pages, softcover ©2013 **VIEW PREVIEW PDF HERE** -
Considerations of Mind - A Buddhist Enquiry
This volume primarily focuses upon the Yogācāra-Vijñānavādin concepts of mind and its means of expression such as the various consciousnesses, the nature of the bījas, and the ālayavijñāna. From this basis, related topics such as the nature of light, the simile of a river with respect to the flow of a consciousness-stream, and the nāḍīs that convey prāṇas, are explored. This allows consideration of the attributes of time and certain chakras that exist below the diaphragm. The ‘soul’ concept then comes into view and its relation to śūnyatā is revealed.**Valid for FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING - enter coupon code UDFREE in your cart**422 pages, softcover ©2016 **VIEW PREVIEW PDF HERE** -
The 'Self' or 'Non-self' in Buddhism
A cogent reinterpretation of many of the key arguments of Mahāyāna philosophy, providing new insights in relation to the question of what a ‘self’ may or may not be, relativistically perceived as an I-consciousness in light of the doctrine of the Void (śūnyatā). The major classical logic relating to such things as the Two Truths, Dependent Origination, the Sevenfold Reasoning, are properly examined by presenting an esoteric view (the Dharmakāya Way) that represents the middle way between extremes. In doing so many concepts are modernised and inherent errors expunged via the presentation of a new valid hermeneutic.**Valid for FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING - enter coupon code UDFREE in your cart**474 pages, softcover ©2016 **VIEW PREVIEW PDF HERE**
