Wisdom Books Newsletter 10th April 2008 : Iss 70"Because opposites such as gain and loss are the lot of everyone in this world; For that reason too no man on this earth tastes absolute joy or absolute pain." - from : Life of the Buddha |
With Tibet currently very much in the news across the world it is timely that we now have in stock a new biography of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Open Road, by the bestselling and critically acclaimed writer Pico Iyer, available from us at an attractive 35% discount. Click on the title and you will find a link to an extract that allows to enjoy a sample of Iyer's quality of writing on his compelling subject. One of the pioneering figures in introducing Zen Buddhism to the West was D.T.Suzuki and we have sourced the award winning documentary film Zen Life: D.T. Suzuki by Michael Goldberg - now available on DVD. One of the most difficult concepts to grasp in Buddhism is emptiness; Guy Newland's succinct Introduction to Emptiness seeks to present this subject in a way the reader will be able to understand.
Our Promotions pages have been thoroughly worked on over the last few weeks, we have had a new shipment of stock from India, and many of these new titles now appear on our Titles from Indian Publishers promotion pages, these pages concentrate on books difficult to acquire through other sources, especially at the prices with which we are able to offer them. In anticipation of his visit to the UK next month we have two separate Dalai Lama promotion pages, one which highlights key Dalai Lama Titles and one which pulls together from the site all our Dalai Lama Gift Items. Finally, don't forget we still have stock of Harmony of Emptiness and Dependent Arising, Key to the Treasury of Sunyata and In Praise of Dependent Origination - all three of which are key titles in relation to the Dalai Lama's teachings in Nottighham.
Enjoy the newsletter!!
