\u00c2nadi – Without Origin, by Binisa Colmenero Lira & David Prats Mira<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n This beautifully illustrated art and poetry book is an interpretation of the “Bardo Th\u00f6dol” – known as “The Tibetan Book of the Dead” – derived from the eighth century teaching of Padmasambhava, who was a fundamental figure in the dissemination of Buddhism in Tibet.<\/p>\n This enigmatic and ancient book is to guide people at any time in their lives, but above all aims to prepare them for death and what, in the Tibetan system, will come after it.\u00a0Therefore, the book divides human existence into six intermediate stages or phases: life, dreams, meditation, death, the reality after death and rebirth. These six stages are trying to tell us that life as we understand it, does not end with the death of the body. The existence continues to be reborn in another body again and again, repeating these stages, until reaching what Buddhism calls Enlightenment.<\/p>\n Buy on iBooks<\/a> | Buy on Kindle<\/a><\/p>\n Leer esta historia en espa\u00f1ol<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Section” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row admin_label=”Row” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}” column_structure=”1_2,1_2″][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/thebuddhistcentre.com\/stories\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/06\/Great-Faith-Great-Wisdom-Cover-Square-1.jpg” title_text=”Great Faith, Great Wisdom by Ratnaguna & \u015araddh\u0101pa” url=”https:\/\/thebuddhistcentre.com\/stories\/books\/great-faith-great-wisdom” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”off|desktop” admin_label=”GFGW” _builder_version=”4.23″ animation_style=”fade” animation_duration=”500ms” hover_enabled=”0″ animation=”fade_in” sticky=”off” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” always_center_on_mobile=”on” global_colors_info=”{}” align=”center” sticky_enabled=”0″] [\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Blurb” _builder_version=”4.23″ text_font_size=”20″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” hover_enabled=”0″ use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}” link_font=”Source Sans Pro||||||||” link_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” link_font_size_phone=”16px” sticky_enabled=”0″ link_font_size=”20px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” text_font_size_phone=”16px” header_font=”Source Sans Pro||||||||” link_text_color=”#e4611d” link_font_size_tablet=”20px” text_font_size_tablet=”20″]<\/p>\n Great Faith, Great Wisdom: The Making of a Beautiful Book<\/a><\/strong> Explore video, audio and excerpts<\/a> from this beautiful new book from Windhorse Publications<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Great Faith Great Wisdom\u00a0puts forward a path of faith and grace, as well as effort and practice.\u00a0Using a practical and imaginative approach, Ratnaguna explores the main themes of the sutras, which are expressed through myth and magical imagery. This book will appeal to both practising Buddhists \u2013 whether from the East Asian Pure Land traditions or not \u2013 and anyone interested in Buddhism from a practical point of view.\u00a0The book includes new translations of the three Pure Land sutras by \u015araddh\u0101pa.<\/p>\n
