*** Buddhist Philosophy ***
Prolegomena to a History of Buddhist Philosophy
by B M Barua
This study canvasses the idea of writing a general history
of Buddhist philosophy. The Buddha was not only the founder of
a great world religion but was a gifted critical and speculative
philosopher. The value of Buddhism as a religion and the historical
development of Buddhism as a popular religion should not preclude
the serious study of Buddhism as philosophy and Buddhism's unique
approach to metaphysics, logic, causality and the classic philosophical
problems.

Unto Thee I Grant
by Sri Ramatherio
This book is quite remarkable in a quiet way, for its origins
are steeped in an amazing mastery. although its prime content
is about morality, spiritual beliefs, codes of living and all
things relevant to faith, it is much more because of its source.
So where did this text come from, and what does it have to
do with the Rosicrucian Society?
In the mid-seventeenth century an unknown traveller in eastern
Tibet and China came to possess a manuscript which had apparently
been found in the Potala Palace in Lhasa.
But what was the true source of the material?
This book translates the manuscript found; it will cause profound
amazement to those who read it and may give a new dimension to
worldly religious concepts.

What Would Buddha Do? 101 Answers to Life's Daily Dilemmas
by Franz Metcalf. Edited by Ray Riegert.
Today's Questions... Buddha's Answers...
Picture yourself facing a personal problem or dilemma. Before
acting, you stop and ask yourself one simple question: What would
Buddha do?
It 's a helpful and reassuring question. Asking it gives a breathing
space,the moment of reflection it takes to find the right answer.
Teaching by example, author Franz Metcalf applies this principle
to 101 problems that we often confront in our everyday lives.
He explains how Buddha would handle the many trials of contemporary
life and shows how 2500 years of Buddhist teachings can guide
us even in our modern society.
Open the book at any page and you will find a specific and relevant
question, answered with a Buddhist teaching and further advice
from the author. Part personal growth and part spirituality,
What Would Buddha Do? will help you find your own Buddha
Nature and allow that Nature to guide you through life.
While author Franz Metcalf's credentials include a PhD in religion
from the University of Chicago, his true abilities shine through
in his sensitivity and sense of humour. He applies the profound
teachings of the Buddha in a simple and straightforward manner
to questions of materialism, relationships and personal identity.
Plumbing the deep reservoir of Buddhist practices and texts,
he finds solutions to everyday dilemmas about stress, love and
personal values.

Man and the Universe: Hindu Perspectives
by R. R. Pandey
Man and the Universe is an investigation of how man has
visualised his relation to the universe around him since his
appearance on earth. It deals comprehensively with man's search
for his roots and the true raison d'etre for his existence. Prof.
R. R. Pandey has provided us with an all-inclusive survey of
the invaluable material initially found in the Rigveda and later
refined by the various schools of thought that have developed
over the ages.
Prof. Pandey gives us an overview of different schools of philosophy
and takes us to the absolute extremes of Indian philosophical
thought from Shankara to Ramanujan who present conflicting conclusions
about the all-embracing reality and methods of attaining it.
Also incorporated in his survey are many modern Western conceptions
of reality, including the present 'Black Hole' theory and its
relation to ancient Indian thought.
From atheism to the other extreme of absolute devotion to a munificent
deity, this book surveys the alternative views suggested by the
sages of ages long past, trying to answer questions that have
puzzled man from time immemorial.
Born in 1942, Prof. Rewati Raman Pandey was educated at Allahabad
University where he was awarded MA (Phil) and DPhil. In 1972-74,
he undertook postdoctoral research at Munster and Hamburg Universities.
In 1972 he was awarded the prestigious Darshanacharya from Sampurnanad
Sanskrit University, Varanasi. He has published many works including
Samagra Yoga, Scientific Temper and Advaita Vedanta,
Man and the Universe and Amritasya Putrah.
Prof. Pandey is at present Vice Chancellor of GorakhpurUniversity
and is a member of the governing body of I.C.P.R..

Krishnamurti: Two Birds on One Tree
by Ravi Ravindra
From this book:
"There was Krishnamurti, the vessel of great revelation
from on high, but also Krishnamurti the man subject to his personal
conditioning, desires and needs.
It can be said that the ability to separate the inner or higher
Self from the lower self is a mark of spiritual development.
But the ability to bring the two parts together intentionally
and with freedom is a sign of divine wisdom and incarnation."
"With a critical mind and an open heart, Dr Ravindra allows
us all to see both the spiritual greatness and the human pathos
of this truly remarkable teacher." -- Jacob Needleman, PhD,
author of Lost Christianity and The Heart of Philosophy

Life's Little Instruction Book. Volumes I, II, III
by H Jackson Brown, Jr
Life is a process. We are all works in progress: green tomatoes
ripening on the windowsill of life. As the author experienced
more, learnt more and contemplated more, he often thought of
what use his discoveries would be to his son, Adam.
Several years ago the author jotted down a list of advice for
his son as he left home to begin college. At the time he thought
the list was fairly complete.
But within a few days of presenting him with the 32 typed pages
that became Life's Little Instruction Book, he began to
think of other entries that would be nice to include. So came
about the second and third volumes of Life's Little Instruction
Book.
A wonderful set of three gift books containing all sorts of instructions
about different facets of life.

Proximity and Time and their Influence on our Lives
by Matthew S Friedman
The purpose of this book is to examine some of the essential
elements that directly influence the course of our lives. In
doing so, the reader is provided with a logical, systematic framework
for better understanding the integral relationship between our
choices and the circumstances that we encounter
each and every day.
As the book unfolds, three basic conclusions are put forth:
* Proximity and time and their inter-relationships
affect everything that happens in our lives and the lives
of others;
* All of our lives are influenced by the innumerable interactions
we have with others and our environment; and
* These factors bind us all together in a kind of mosaic
framework that influences the collective outcome (history) of
all living creatures -- not just us humans.
In other words, in some ways -- we are all one.
Once thoroughly analyzed from a variety of different perspectives,
the book uses these conclusions to further explore several not-so-easy
concepts, namely, "fate", "destiny", and
"co-existence with all other life."
In doing so, it provides the reader with a unique point of
view - one based on a description of the way things appear to
be, using common sense and logic as its guiding force.
