Two New Books Coming This Summer - Sponsors Wanted

By Windhorse Publi... on Thu, 22 Mar, 2018 - 15:40

This year started with a ‘bang’ for us with two new releases.

What does it feel like to move towards Enlightenment?

By Munisha on Mon, 14 Dec, 2015 - 23:49

What does it actually feel like to move towards Enlightenment? That’s the question asked by the authors of two recent books from Windhorse Publications (WP): Compassion and Emptiness in Early Buddhist Meditation, by Anālayo, and The Journey and the Guide, by Maitreyabandhu.

As WP’s Hannah Atkinson writes, “Both books are practical guides to the Buddha’s teaching – Compassion and Emptiness focuses on the meditative practices of compassion and emptiness, and The Journey...

Pāli Safari

By Dhivan Thomas Jones on Wed, 24 Jul, 2013 - 22:16Excursions into the Thought-World of the Pāli Discourses by Bhikkhu Anālayo
