    <![CDATA[This engaging introduction to Buddhism explains the Buddhas earliest teachings, and is a practical guide for how to live fully in todays stressful world. The Feeling Buddha is a lucid account of how the Buddhas path of wisdom and loving kindness grew out of the challenges he encountered in life. Brazier explains the concepts of enlightenment, nirvana, and the four Noble Truths, free from mystification. Buddha emerges as a very human figure whose success lay not in his perfection, but in how he positively utilized the energy which was generated trough his suffering. This rare guide illustrates how Buddhas philosophy of the middle way can lead to a balanced, harmonious, and serene existence in the 21st century.]]>

    <![CDATA[David Brazier is a man on a mission. In <em>The New Buddhism</em> Brazier sets out to save Buddhism from complacent navel-gazers who would rather meld with the infinite than take Buddhism into society where it belongs. Brazier is erudite and engages some complex issues in historical and contemporary Buddhism, largely centering on the self-styled Critical Buddhists, who attempt to cleanse Buddhism of infections from popular religion, specifically Chinese Taoism. Brazier begins with a history of early Buddhism, showing that the Buddha began a social movement that tended to go astray when institutionalized. His main theme is that monism, whether philosophical or social, is anathema to Buddhism and ends in stagnancy and tyranny. Brazier is strongest when summarizing scholarship and referring to specific authors or texts. But when his argument requires details he turns vague, when philosophical terms demand clarity he glosses over, and when rival theories deserve charity he chooses polemics. Despite these drawbacks, <em>The New Buddhism</em>, like Peter Hershock's solid <em>Liberating Intimacy</em> and several recent Engaged Buddhism titles, is a welcome call to a Buddhist communitarian ethic. <em>--Brian Bruya</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[This is the first introduction to Pureland Buddhism, also called Amida Buddhism. Under-represented in literature, Pureland Buddhism is closely concerned with the relationship between life and death. It is both about going to heaven and about heaven on earth; a thoroughly spiritual form of Buddhism, but also a very practical one because it is a faith that recognizes people's limitations. It is not full of guilt, nor injunctions to be perfect. It is for ordinary people, the sort who make mistakes and weep when sad things happen.]]>
