  Excerpt:
   
  To be a “Buddhist” without making any attempt to put the principles into practice is nonsensical. Buddhism is essentially something to do rather than something to believe. The attainment of the higher wisdom will, for most people at least, be a long task which may not be fully achieved in this lifetime. But those who are sincerely treading the path will stand out. They will have something about them which subtly marks them out. They will be mindful, compassionate, considerate to others. While they will not rush round offering good advice to all and sundry unasked, they may well be the kind of people whom those in need of advice and help will instinctively turn to. They will be good citizens of the world, for the very reason that they are not too much caught up in its meretricious attractions.

  How to Be Forgiving

  [How to Be Forgiving] delves into the intricate landscape of human emotion with unflinching honesty and profound insight, examining the peculiar way we hold onto hurts like rain-soaked clothes, heavy and familiar against our skin. Through intimate prose that reads like a confession shared between friends, this meditation on forgiveness illuminates the small, daily acts of letting go that shape our capacity for healing. The book's revolutionary perspective challenges conventional wisdom, arguing that forgiveness isn't a destination but rather a continuous practice, like breathing – something we need to do consciously at first, then naturally, until it becomes part of who we are. With its lyrical exploration of the stories we tell ourselves and the weight of unspoken words, this guide transforms our understanding of what it means to forgive, revealing how the journey toward release becomes an act of self-liberation rather than a gift bestowed upon others.

  Sit in the Sun - And Other...

  As a spiritual pilgrim for more than half a century, Jon Sweeney has practiced with teachers of many religious traditions. He's gone looking for wisdom, beauty, and truth wherever it can be found. But recently he's found himself learning closer to home—from the teacher-cats he lives with. 
   
   
   
  What he discovered is that our greatest spiritual teachers are at our feet. Literally. They are the cats we love and treasure. Nearly 60 million cats live in US households today. These feline teachers have much to offer us about living in the present, loving unconditionally, approaching life with a sense of playfulness, and trusting others, all the while being independent spirits. 
   
   
   
  Jon Sweeney, beloved scholar and author of The Pope's Cat and numerous books about Saint Francis, offers a playful, gentle, informed meditation on the many spiritual truths and practices our feline companions provide if we but pause and pay attention.
