Mindfulness-Informed Relational Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis: Inquiring Deeply provides a refreshing new look at the emerging field of Buddhist-informed psychotherapy. Marjorie Schuman presents a cogent framework which engages the patient at the levels of narrative, affective regulation, and psychodynamic understanding. Blending knowledge of contemporary psychoanalysis with the wisdom of Buddhist view, she examines how mindfulness can be integrated into psychodynamic treatment as an aspect of self-reflection rather than as a cognitive behavioral technique or intervention.

In this first religious history of Tibetan Pure Land literature, Georgios Halkias delves into a rich collection of literary, historical, and archaeological sources to highlight important aspects of this neglected pan-Asian Buddhist tradition. He...

Society in the West is now at a crossroads, and is facing a stark choice – to evolve or degenerate. In these timely essays Advayacitta explores the predominant ideas and beliefs that  have shaped modern Western society, and which have come from classical thought, Christianity and physical science. He looks at how these have had both beneficial and harmful effects.

As a basis for healthy evolution, he discusses the beginnings of a radical alternative to deeply flawed, harmful Western ideas that come particularly from the nineteenth century – ideas that underpin much...

Candrakīrti's fullest statement of the theory is included in his Autocommentary on the Introduction to the Middle Way (Madhyamakāvatārabhasya), which is, along with his Introduction to the Middle Way (Madhyamakāvatāra ), among the central...
