Buddhism

[close] Books on Buddhist philosophy, and meditation techniques.

[close] I am doing this for myself and any of those who would like to join me. I am interested in reading literature on religions and atheism and philosophy while exploring their interpretations and histories. My personal viewpoint is that of an atheist who grew up in a secular Christian home but I look forward to learning as much about and with all beliefs and traditions around the world. My current interests - although they change frequently - lie in atheism, Buddhism, Judaism, and the Islamic world which I hope to explore in the first few months of 2019. I look forward to learning and maybe encouraging some tolerance.

[close] Reading Peace is a book club exploring topics in mindfulness and Buddhism in daily life in a way that is accessible and relevant to today. We meet online and offline as a community reading together for the benefit of all beings in order to create a more just and joyful world. We are the official book club of Parallax Press, a nonprofit publisher founded by Thich Nhat Hanh. As a result, group members gain exclusive access to steep discounts on book club picks and other perks every month. The club picks a Parallax Press book to read as a group every month, receiving a significant discount on that book for the duration of the month so that as many people can participate. This group is currently on hiatus.

[close] Whether you have a Buddhist practice that spans decades, are new to Buddhism, or simply have an interest in getting started, we are all united in our study of the Dharma. It lives in teachings both ancient and modern, in the words of sages and neophytes, in scripture, discourse, and even fiction. This group is for anyone looking to discuss books on Buddhism, get recommendations for new reads, or to share recent finds that have captured your attention.
