Wisdom Books Newsletter 5th December 2008 : Iss 78

Welcome to our regular newsletter that informs you of all that is new on the site.

We have plenty of great new releases to tell you about this month, many of which are titles that have been eagerly awaited for some time and are now available to order. On the home page we have Treasury of Knowledge: Elements of Tantric Practice which deals specifically with tantric meditation, presenting key elements of a variety of tantras, including the Guhyasamaja and Yamari, belonging to the class of father tantras, and the Kalachakra, Hevajra, Chakrasamvara, Mahamaya, Buddhakapala, and Tara, mother tantras. Zen Baggage is Red Pine's (translator of the Heart Sutra and Diamond Sutra) highly readable account of his pilgrimage to China in 2006 to sites associated with the six patriarchs of Zen. Treasures from Juniper Ridge is collection of hidden teachings, or terma, given by Padmasambhava, with a commentary by Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche; a continuation of Dakini Teachings and Advice from the Lotus Born. Also on the home page is the long-awaited Yantra Yoga by Namkhai Norbu offering the Buddhist practitioner an intriguing new approach to awareness practice, parallel to the Hatha Yoga of the Hindu tradition.

Beside the above titles featured on the home page there are plenty of other new titles for you to view in this newsletter - see our extensive list as below! Don't forget that for many of these titles we have extracts from them available for you to view when you go into each individual product, extracts give you a great opportunity to sample these books at leisure, just like browsing in your favourite bookshop!

Our stock of 2009 Calendars and Diaries is fast becoming depleted with many already now sold out, here are two which still are available to order - Tibetan Art Calendar 2009 and Complete Tibetan Calendar - hurry, while stocks last!

Enjoy the newsletter!
