Spacious Passion from Amazon

We like to test out every new means of production, so once Spacious Passion appeared on Amazon (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Spacious-Passion-Ngakma-Nordzin/dp/1898185077/) we just had to order a copy from them to make sure that the system works.

Somehow it all ties up. The Amazon (UK) order goes to Lightning Source in Milton Keynes, who ship the book to Amazon who ship it to the customer. 

So we're happy to say that Spacious Passion is now ubiquitously available and we'll be following he same process for as many books as we can.

Tobacco @ Wisdom Books

Tobacco by Düd'jom Rinpoche is now available from Wisdom Books

"New edition. A small booklet with some inspiring words to encourage smokers to abandon their habit, which is considered a spiritually damaging activity.

Dudjom Rinpoche quotes from the termas of Chogyal Ratna Lingpa, Sangye Lingpa, Rigdzin Godem, Duddul Dorje, Terton Longsel, Thugchog Dorje, Drodul Lingpa, and Machig Lapdron, in order to explain the non-ordinary visionary history which illuminates the rious nature of tobacco. Warnings concerning tobacco have been revealed as termas since the spread of Buddhism in Tibet."

Aro Books worldwide - An overview - by Mick Rooney

Mick Rooney has published a nice article about us on his blog 'POD, Self Publishing and Independent Publishing'.  He describes Aro as "a Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhist tradition, a non-profit charity principally concerned with transforming the experience of everyday being, rather than achieving an esoteric or spiritualised mode of existence."

Spacious Passion - Hardback Edition

Ngakma Nor'dzin's book Spacious Passion is now available in hardback from Aro books worldwide

A Buddhist book exploring the sutric teaching of ‘The Four Thoughts that turn the Mind to Practice’ as vividly relevant to our everyday lives: the extraordinarily precious opportunity to live as an honourable human being; the experience of impermanence that pervades our existence as an opportunity to awaken; the emotional and psychological patterning which dominates our lives (karma); and the seemingly endless cycle of dissatisfaction in which we imprison ourselves. Each chapter ends with a series of questions and answers which are both pragmatic and inspirational. Ngakma Nor'dzin has been a practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism for more than twenty years.

Rays of the Sun brings together three booklets that were very popular in the 1980s and an article that appeared in Caduceus magazine. The chapters cover the topics of the four noble truths, eightfold path, karma, kindness and refuge. "The four evening talks contained here deal with the themes studied by everyone exploring Buddhism in depth: the four noble truths, eightfold path, causality, compassion and refuge. This material is discussed in creative contemporary English, and presented from a perspective informed by Dzogchen."
