There is an opportunity to join the small vibrant team at Windhorse Publications, and contribute to making life changing books on Buddhism, mindfulness and meditation available around the world.
We are a vital part of the Triratna Buddhist community and respected within the wider world of Buddhist publishing. With a rich history of nearly 50 years of producing insightful and life changing books, we publish books by Sangharakshita, Triratna Order members and other authors on Buddhism, meditation and mindfulness.
Here is a book that may be of interest to you, whether or not you are autistic around different aspects of Buddhist practice. It includes a chapter from our very own Prajnanandi. It would be of particular use to those looking to articulate more about their autism and how it works with Buddhism, or those who are interested in supporting autistic individuals.
The description from the publisher:
“This series of reflective accounts explores the benefits that Buddhist practice can bring for autistic individuals, and...
We’re delighted to announce the publication of Nagabodhi’s page-turning biography, Sangharakshita: The Boy, the Monk, the Man. In an absorbing narrative, Nagabodhi takes the reader on a journey through the twists and turns of Sangharakshita’s life; the experiences, insights, and reflections that nurtured his approach as a teacher; and the legacy he left behind.
Sangharakshita was a pioneer in spreading Buddhism outside of Asia, as well as in the revival of Buddhism in India in the wake of the conversion of Dr...
Sometimes a new Dharma book turns up that manages to seem both effortlessly profound and very funny. Of course, Satyadasa’s The Sound of One Hand is actually the product of hard-won experience, and we’re delighted to welcome him to the podcast to talk about his wonderful memoir as a tale of struggle, inspiration and the meeting of twin lineages in his life: Dharma practice and family.
We hear Satyadasa’s account of the challenges and joys to be had figuring out...
Review by Vishvapani Maitreyabandhu’s most recent poetry collection reflects on Cézanne’s paintings and is a subtle meditation on the possibilities of art and perception
The epigraph of Maitreyabandhu’s most recent collection After Cézanne is a quote from a letter the artist sent to Emile Bernard in 1904: ‘Talking about art is virtually useless.’ That challenges the fifty-plus poems in the collection, which all relate directly or indirectly to Cézanne’s painting and are generously...
Like Satyadasa I’ve been a part of the Triratna Buddhist Community for the whole of my adult life. He’s about a decade younger than me, but many of the Triratna experiences he describes in The Sound of One Hand are shared. Like me, David (as Satyadasa is called up to his ordination) grew up in the middle-class South London suburbs and had an Oxbridge education before pitching into...
Windhorse Publications is delighted to announce the release of The Myth of Meditation: restoring imaginal ground through embodied Buddhist practice, the latest book from respected meditation teacher Paramananda, author of Change Your Mind: A Practical Guide to Buddhist Meditation, The Body, and A Deeper Beauty.
From his three decades of teaching Buddhist meditation, Paramananda offers an approach that is a challenge both to the way we experience ourselves, and the way in which we see and ‘be’ in the world....
Did the Buddha actually say “all worldlings are mad”, “all descriptions of reality are temporary hypotheses” or “all things are perfect exactly as they are”? These are just some of the sayings that Bodhipaksa, author of Vegetarianism: A Buddhist View and of the Wildmind Buddhist Meditation site, investigates in his new book I Can’t Believe It’s Not Buddha!, an entertaining search for the truth amidst the haystack of ‘Buddha quotes.’
The book is Bodhipaksa’s response to encountering many dubious ‘quotes’ attributed to the Buddha...
