Book Description
One of the great thinkers of the 20th century discusses the nature of the lived experience, the details of profound self-inquiry, and how to live a fulfilled life with spiritual seekers from around the world These 60 chapters—with titles like “Solitude Means Freedom”, “All Seeking is from Emptiness and Fear”, and “Life is an Extraordinarily Beautiful Movement”—carry the essence of Krishnamurti’s teaching style and profoundest wisdom. Each one reflects an encounter “K” had at different times during the sixties and seventies. It opens with a poetic account of the location where the encounter took place, plus occasionally a description of the seeker that K has met. The chapter then moves back and forth between the seeker and the teacher, giving the reader plenty to reflect upon. This is previously unpublished material. Readers will be captivated by the luminous prose and the piercing insight. The style is enigmatic and poetic but each chapter contains more than enough for the reader to consider, perhaps as a daily practice. In the style of Paulo Coelho, they have the quality of fables, but the teaching is far more profound and challenging.

Can the Mind Be Quiet? carries the essence of the teachings of Jiddu Krishnamurti, one of the greatest thinkers of the twentieth century. The book is divided into sixty chapters, each describing a unique spiritual encounter with people from diverse backgrounds. The conversations and private interviews between various seekers and Krishnamurti address a wide array of questions such as 'How do I bring up my children?', 'Can the mind unburden itself?', 'What does virtue mean?', 'What really is sacred?', 'Can the brain ever be quiet?', and many more. With every answer, Krishnamurti imparts eye-opening insights into the self, society, education, interpersonal relations, spirituality, and, most importantly, how to lead a peaceful and fulfilling life. Can the Mind Be Quiet? distils the core of Krishnamurti's wisdom with unmatched clarity.

Book Description
A unique fitness program from a highly respected spiritual leader that blends physical and spiritual practice for everyone - regardless of age, spiritual background, or ability - to great benefits for both body and soul. As a Tibetan lama and leader of Shambhala (an international community of 165 meditation centers), Sakyong Mipham has found physical activity to be essential for spiritual well-being. He's been trained in horsemanship and martial arts but has a special love for running. Here he incorporates his spiritual practice with running, presenting basic meditation instruction and fundamental principles he has developed. Even though both activities can be complicated, the lessons here are simple and designed to show how the melding of internal practice with physical movement can be used by anyone - regardless of age, spiritual background, or ability - to benefit body and soul.

Book Description
"The mind, says Osho, has the potential to be enormously creative in dealing with the challenges of everyday life, and the problems of the world in which we live. The difficulty, however, is that instead of using the mind as a helpful servant we have largely allowed it to become the master of our lives.... Meditation is the switch that can silence the mind. A sharper, more relaxed and creative mind-one that can function at the peak of its unique intelligence- is the potential. Osho introduces meditation for contemporary life"-- Back cover.

Book Description
One of the twentieth century’s greatest spiritual teachers will show you how to quiet your constant, worrying thoughts in Learning to Silence the Mind: Wellness Through Meditation. The mind, says Osho, has the potential to be enormously creative in dealing with the challenges of everyday life, and the problems of the world in which we live. The difficulty, however, is that instead of using the mind as a helpful servant we have largely allowed it to become the master of our lives. Its ambitions, belief systems, and interpretations rule our days and our nights—bringing us into conflict with minds that are different from ours, keeping us awake at night rehashing those conflicts or planning the conflicts of tomorrow, and disturbing our sleep and our dreams. If only there was a way to switch it off and give it a rest! Finding the switch that can silence the mind—not by force or performing some exotic ritual, but through understanding, watchfulness, and a healthy sense of humor—is meditation. A sharper, more relaxed and creative mind—one that can function at the peak of its unique intelligence—is the potential. The book includes a link to tutorials on OSHO Nadabrahma Meditation. Osho challenges readers to examine and break free of the conditioned belief systems and prejudices that limit their capacity to enjoy life in all its richness. He has been described by the Sunday Times of London as one of the “1000 Makers of the 20th Century” and by Sunday Mid-Day (India) as one of the ten people—along with Gandhi, Nehru, and Buddha—who have changed the destiny of India. Since his death in 1990, the influence of his teachings continues to expand, reaching seekers of all ages in virtually every country of the world.

The path to learning this valuable practice has been broken down to its simplest form so as to reach the largest audience. In twenty-five easy, unintimidating lessons, readers receive practical step-by-step methods, allowing them to calm their minds and connect to their internal teachers.Using simple yet profound techniques that are easy to adapt, I combine my own insight, knowledge, wisdom, and humor to guide the readers on a joyful journey of self-discovery that ultimately leads to their bliss.
