    If you think YOU have a busy schedule, take a look at Ernestine Buckmeister' s weekly calendar:
    
    On Mondays she sculpts with Clay Lumpkin.
    On Tuesdays she does water ballet with Miss Goldfisher.
    On Wednesdays she knits with Mrs. Pearl Stitchem.
    On Thursdays she takes tuba lessons with Mr. Oompah.
    On Fridays she yodels with Little Old Lady Hoo.
    On Saturdays she studies karate with Grand Master HiYa! And on Sundays she practices yoga with Guru Prakash Pretzel.
    Her well-meaning, busy parents have packed her after-school hours, turning Ernestine into the over-scheduled poster child of today.
    But Ernestine is about to opt out and do what no Buckmeister has ever done before: just PLAY.

  • The Sutra of Ksitigarbha's Fundamental Vows - A Colloquial Translation - cover

    The Sutra of Ksitigarbha's...

    A colloquial, easy-to-understand English translation, this sutra gives simple, direct instructions about how we sentient beings in this chaotic, troubled and distressed era and world can make close, direct connections with a great enlightened being – Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Mahasattva – to be saved, protected, guided and blessed. The Buddha foresaw the suffering and chaos in this Dharma-Declining Period that we are now living in and thus entrusted us to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. 
    “Ksitigarbha” is a Sanskrit word meaning “earth treasury”, reflecting the hidden treasures in the minds of all sentient beings, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s specialty and merit is His “power of vow” – He vowed not to become a Buddha until all beings, including those in hell, are rescued. 
    The narrator, Paul, is an inmate who was under maximum security incarceration. He has been rescued by the Three Jewels and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva multiple times when faced with distress, troubles in mind, critical illness and life-death issues. We are moved by his serious, persistent vows to change himself and cultivate inwardly according to the Buddha and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s teachings. These experiences have helped and inspired us and many Buddhist practitioners all over. 
    This unprecedented project would not have been possible without the gracious, generous support of the state corrections department as well as the superintendent, officers, guards and staff of the corrections center. Due to the limitations of the recording circumstances and the narrator’s health, there are a few places where the audio does not exactly reflect the printed version, there may be background noise or the voice may sound different at times. 
    As Mahayana Buddhists, we are most grateful to have the chance to present this recording to share with you all. From our experience, reading/copying this sutra helps to obtain calm, peace and inspiration; may your listening to it also bring the same.

    Do your kids love adventure stories? 
    Do they want to explore new cultures? 
    Are you looking for something you know is family-friendly? 
    Then you'll love The Sundial Odysseys... 
    Similar to books like I Survived, A to Z Mysteries, and The Magic Treehouse, The Sundial Odysseys take you on quirky adventures through the past, where historical figures who shaped the world we live in today receive help from three young cousins. 
    Amelia, Dave, and Luther's grandfather is the world's most famous explorer; and the kids are about to find out why. When they knock over his antique sundial one afternoon, they're suddenly transported to the other side of the world…and 3,000 years into the past. 
    They find themselves in a dangerous and strange world. Everyone carries a spear, and dresses in bed sheets; there are enemies at every turn. No one can tell them how they got there, or how to get back. Soon they're accused of being spies and taken captive. To make matters worse, the sundial is now counting down their time left, and that it's running out fast. 
    Can the kids figure out how to get back home, or will they be trapped in the past? 
    Join Amelia, Dave, and Luther in the first Sundial Odyssey, The Desert Queen, a family friendly adventure exploring cultures through history.

    I'll be famous one day, but for now I'm stuck in middle school with a bunch of morons. 
     
    Being a kid can really stink. And no one knows this better than Greg Heffley, who finds himself thrust into middle school, where undersized weaklings share the hallways with kids who are taller, meaner, and already shaving.  
     
    In Diary of a Wimpy Kid, author and illustrator Jeff Kinney introduces us to an unlikely hero. As Greg says in his diary: 
     
    Just don't expect me to be all "Dear Diary" this and "Dear Diary" that. 
     
    Luckily for us, what Greg Heffley says he won’t do and what he actually does are two very different things.
