Letters from Prison – Free Dharma for Inmates

By Windhorse Publi... on Tue, 26 Sep, 2017 - 13:38

We’d like to share some moving words from a group of readers we have had for years now.

These books and letters enhance their lives, and in a place where there is a lot of time for reflection, they can find greater self awareness and understanding through the Dharma.

Mindful Emotion - A New Book On Kindness

By Windhorse Publi... on Thu, 11 May, 2017 - 12:07

We have released Mindful Emotion: A Short Course in Kindness just ahead of a prediction reported in The Bookseller - the UK’s publishing-trade magazine - that the next trending lifestyle attitude after lagom and hygge is . . . kindness.

The book draws on Kindness Behaviour Training and offers reflections and exercises to bring more kindness into our daily lives.

Mindful Emotion by Drs Paramabandhu Groves and Jed Shamel has been hailed by quite a few voices in the field:

What is mindfulness?

By mokshini on Tue, 18 Apr, 2017 - 14:36

Last week Vidyadasi led the class and explored what we mean by ‘Mindfulness’ - what qualities are we looking for? In addition to a guided practice and discussion there was time to reflect on some notes & points on the theme of mindfulness:

Turn off the autopilot.

‘Mindfulness is the awareness that emerges through paying...

Breathworks is a fantastic organisation set up and run my members of the Triratna Buddhist Order and Community. Here is the latest blog post by Program Director Singhashri Gazmuri.

This season, awaken and enliven with a good book. Or, give the gift of one of our books or meditation CDs to a friend.
