"Care of the soul is not a project of self-improvement nor a way of being released from the troubles and pains of human existence. It is not at all concerned with living properly or with emotional health. . . We care for the soul solely by honoring its expressions, by giving it time and opportunity to reveal itself, and by living life in a way that fosters the depth, interiority, and quality in which it flourishes. Soul is its own purpose and end." (excerpt)

Because only a few individuals seem to possess the ability to see and draw, artists are often regarded as persons with a rare, God-given talent. To many people, the process of drawing seems mysterious and somehow beyond human understanding. However, by studying this book you will learn how to process visual information in the special way used by artists which is different from the way you usually process visual information.

Recent research has begun to throw new scientific light on that marvel of capability and complexity, the human brain. Whether you feel you have little talent and you doubt you could ever learn, or you enjoy drawing but have not been able to get much beyond a child-like level, this book will show you how to gain the skill you have always wanted. If you are already drawing as a professional artist or as an artist-in-training, it will give you greater confidence in your ability and deepen your artistic perception.

This revised edition includes recent developments in brain research that relate to drawing; new insights on the use of drawing teechniques in the corporate world and in education; instruction on self-expression through drawing; ways to step beyond black and white into color; and detailed advice on applying the five basic skills of drawing.

Poems by Hafiz, the Great Sufi Master

"Hafiz is one of the greatest spiritual friends, lovers, and guides that humankind has ever know. For centuries he has been called the Tongue of the Invisible, for he continues to sing beautiful and wild love songs from God. He invites us to join him in his fantastic applause of life. I vote to inscribe these words of Hafiz on every flag, church bell, temple, mosque, and politician's brain: 'Dear ones, let's annoint this earth with dance!'" ~ Daniel Ladinsky

"These remarkable short poems are magic tricks--verbal sleights of hand--that cause the mind to blink and that replace the imagined perception of grief and woe with the reality of joy." ~ Sylvia Boorstein. Softcover.

Lion of Siddhas
The Life and Teachings of Padampa Sangye

Translated by David Molk
with Lama Tsering Wangdu Rinpoche

Best known as Machig Labdron's teacher, the Indian mahasiddha Padampa Sangye carried the lineage of Chod to Tibet and Buddha's words to China. Padampa Sangye's teaching methods were unorthodox and sometimes extreme: this transcendent and irascible teacher encouraged his disciples to disregard social conventions and go beyond cultural conditioning. Inspiring innumerable highly realized disciples, many of whom were women, his teachings can be found in monasteries and retreat hermitages throughout all schools of Tibetan Buddhism and continue to be practiced with undiminished enthusiasm and diligence.

Lion of Siddhas presents two previously untranslated texts: a biography of Padampa Sangye and a rare collection of his verbal and nonberbal teachings, called Mahamudra in Symbols, recorded by his chief Tibetan disciple almost a thousand years ago. Softcover.

Three Cups of Tea
One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time

Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin

In 1993 a mountaineer named Greg Mortenson drifted into an impoverished Pakistan village in the Karakoram mountains after a failed attempt to climb K2. Moved by the inhabitants' kindness, he promissed to return and build a school. Three Cups of Tea is the story of that promise and its extraordinary outcome. Over the next decade Mortenson built not just one but fifty-five schools--especially for girls--in the forbidding terrain that gave birth to the Taliban. His story is at once a riveting adventure and a testament to the power of the humanitarian spirit.

"Laced with drama, danger, romance, and good deeds, Mortenson's story serves as a reminder of the power of a good idea and the strength inherent in one person's passionate determination to persevere against enormous obstacles." ~ The Christian Science Monitor. Softcover.

Dharma art provides a vehicle to appreciate the nature of things as they are and express it without any struggle ordesire to achieve. Trungpa shows how these principles extend to everyday life: any activity can provide an opportunity to relax and open our senses to the phenomenal world. Softcover.

A. H. Almaas

A. H. Almaas presents a marvelously effective practice for developing the transformative quality of presence. Through a particular method of self-observation and contemplative exploration that he calls inquiry, we learn to live in the relaxed condition of simply "being ourselves," without interference from feelings of inadequacy, drivenness toward goals, struggling to figure things out, and rejecting experiences we don't want.

Almaas explores the many obstacles that keep us from being present--including defensiveness, ignorance, desire, aggression, and self-hared--and shows us how to welcome with curiosity and compassion whatever we are experiencing. Softcover.

". . . probably the most balanced of the widely available spiritual psychologies/therapies." ~ Ken Wilbur
