  This is an audiobook of Bodhi Leaves No. 9 by Dr. Helmuth Klar, 'How to Teach Buddhism to Children' found in the Pariyatti Edition of Collected Bodhi Leaves Vol. I, narrated by Christa Michel.
   
  Excerpt:
   
  "...How can Buddhist parents best teach their own children Buddhism? since they will seldom have the opportunity to teach it to other children, let alone the children of non-Buddhist parents. As I do not wish to theorize, I shall speak only from practical experience with my own children, and so of Western children in general. It is moreover particularly the Western child which is exposed to a Christian or materialistic environment, and hence is in need of a carefully considered Buddhist education. In a Buddhist country, steeped in its centuries-old Buddhist tradition, the position of a Buddhist child is (or should be) far easier. In such a favourable environment a good and effective Buddhist educational system may have developed. But even if it had it would be a great mistake for us, as Westerners, to copy it without due consideration.

  The Fruits of Giving

  This book contains one of the messages that even the true messengers of Christ finds hard to tongue in the hearings of the children of God. The denotation or misunderstanding of the message takes the larger percentage of consideration, while the potency of such message is not often considered, so as not to be seen as a possible and stylish begging of alms. Where-as it is one of the few deep mystery in the kingdom that has a direct influence on a man’s success and well being as the case may be. 
    
  Ultimately, the act of giving is not only elucidated but encouraged in this book, as a sure way to receiving back from both God and men. Somewhat a form of deposition that germinates to produce rich rewards.

  "I don't want a future, Lord. I want my past. But ahead lie Your plans. Ahead lies life." 
   
   
   
  Life after a husband's death is full of grief, uncertainty, and loneliness. Who can possibly understand the heavy ache of this new life that must be lived alone? Only someone who has lived this experience too. 
   
   
   
  In Prayers for a Widow's Journey, a collection of more than 100 reflective prayers, author Gayle Roper talks to the Lord about what it feels like to be caught in the unsought solitude of widowhood. Each prayer is accompanied by a verse from Scripture that grounds the prayer not in self-pity, but in an awareness of the boundless care of the God of all comfort. Rather than explaining grief away, Gayle acknowledges the pain and invites you to trust God even in these darkest of days.

  The Spiritual Doctrine of St...

  The Life and Doctrine of St. Catherine of Genoa chronicles the remarkable transformation of a noblewoman who abandoned the vanities of the world to become one of the Church's greatest mystics. Through the faithful testimony of her confessor, readers witness the profound interior purification by which divine love gradually consumed every trace of self-will, leading St. Catherine into an extraordinary union with God marked by heroic charity, severe penance, and unwavering humility. This spiritual classic combines an inspiring biography with St. Catherine's profound mystical teachings. Her celebrated dialogues between the soul, the body, and self-love expose the subtle obstacles to holiness, while her renowned Treatise on Purgatory offers one of the Church's clearest and most beloved explanations of the purification awaiting the souls destined for heaven. Rather than focusing primarily on physical suffering, St. Catherine reveals that the greatest pain of Purgatory is the soul's burning desire for the Beatific Vision, delayed until every attachment to sin has been consumed by God's perfect love. With penetrating spiritual insight, St. Catherine teaches that sanctity is born through complete surrender to divine charity. Her witness calls every Christian to reject the deceptions of self-love, embrace interior detachment, and allow God's purifying grace to prepare the soul for eternal union with Him.

  We live in a world of radical individualism, where people care more about satisfying their own needs than they do about the needs of others. This mindset can lead to broken relationships—both human and divine. This is the polar opposite of what those in the City of Enoch experienced. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to feel that kind of Christ-like unity? Would you like to feel closer to the Lord, heal a relationship, or forgive those who have wronged you? The principles in this book will help you along this journey toward oneness. 
  In the final moments of Christ’s life on earth, He uttered one last prayer. He did not pray for Himself but for His disciples—all of us, you and me. What was His plea? What was his final desire? That we might all become one. By offering gospel-centered approaches, this book will help you fulfill Christ’s final plea. You will learn not only how you can improve a relationship, but how to “be one” with Christ and His followers.
