  D.T. Suzuki

  Buddhism in its course of development has completed a form which distinguishes itself from its so-called primitive or original type—so greatly, indeed, that we are justified in emphasizing its historical division into two schools, Hinayana and Mahayana, or the Lesser Vehicle and the Greater vehicle of salvation. As a matter of fact, the Mahayana, with all its varied formulae, is no more than a developed form of Buddhism and traces back its final authority to its Indian founder, the great Buddha Sakyamuni.

  Although Tennessee has a rich history of political scandals dating back to the founding of the state, the last fifty years have been a confusing, confounding, and sometimes ludicrous period of ne'er-do-welling. Welcome to Capitol Hill is a guide to the state's modern history of corruption. From Governor Ray Blanton's pardon scandals to the FBI investigation that started with now lieutenant governor Randy McNally wearing a wire in the late 1980s to the sexual misconduct that plagues Tennessee politics, this book chronicles it all. 
   
   
   
  Veteran political reporters Joel Ebert and Erik Schelzig draw from interviews, archival documents, and never-before-seen federal investigative files to provide listeners with a handy resource about the wrongdoings of our elected officials.

  Zen: Zest Zip Zap and Zing - Eat...

  Osho

  In Zen, Zest, Zip, Zap and Zing, Osho responds to questions on love, freedom, morality, women's role in society, nostalgia, a child's right to privacy, the purpose of life, and more. Again and again he nudges the listener back to the essential: Zen – awareness, being here and now. While responding to the concerns of the questioners, Osho also illustrates how nonessential their preoccupations are.
  Whenever questions are academic or "spiritual," Osho hits the questioner's head hard, dismissing such enquiries as games of the ego and even as 'holy cow dung'! Describing how centuries of political and religious slavery have repressed India, Osho lays out a blueprint for the nation to move away from the burdens of the past towards freedom.
  And between the lines, he offers an invitation to live life to the full, to take its challenges head-on and with a sense of humor.

  Buy now to get the main key ideas from Sonke Ahrens's How To Take Smart Notes 
    
  Efficient and excellent writing relies on one crucial pillar: note-taking. This skill is often underdeveloped or totally missing in writers, whether they are professionals or students. In How to Take Smart Notes (2017), Sönke Ahrens details the slip-box note-taking method known as the Zettelkasten. This technique, adapted to both written and digital notes, shifts the focus from memorization and searching for notes to developing ideas through the note-taking and writing process, which becomes part of the thought process. The slip-box system allows writers to easily store and retrieve relevant notes while enhancing their creativity in finding topics to tackle.

  Patience: The Art of Waiting -...

  Patience is often regarded as a simple virtue, but it carries profound power in shaping our lives. It goes beyond just waiting for something to happen. True patience is the ability to endure the waiting process with grace, calm, and peace of mind. It allows us to maintain focus on our long-term goals while navigating the uncertainties of life. In today’s fast-paced world, where instant gratification has become the norm, patience has become an increasingly rare but invaluable skill. Learning to practice patience empowers us to take a step back, remain composed, and make decisions with clarity, even in the face of adversity. 
  Patience serves as a bridge between desire and fulfillment. It gives us the resilience to endure the waiting period without losing sight of what we’re striving for. Whether we’re waiting for a promotion, healing from an injury, or working toward personal growth, patience allows us to trust that things are unfolding in the right timing. It is often in the waiting process that we learn the most valuable lessons. We discover new strengths, build resilience, and deepen our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. 
  In scientific terms, patience is closely linked to emotional regulation. Studies have shown that those who practice patience tend to experience less stress and anxiety, as they are better able to cope with frustration and setbacks. Patience doesn’t mean passively sitting by and waiting for things to happen; it involves active participation in the process, understanding that timing plays a critical role in achieving our goals. It teaches us to manage our impulses, temper our expectations, and stay grounded during difficult moments.

  Believe Her - How to be an Ally...

  “Yes you will absolutely be reborn, yes you will rebuild something more beautiful than before, but essentially a death took place in that moment and that is irreversible…” 
  -a Survivor 
    
  It is an honor and a privilege to be an ally to a survivor of sexual assault. She allows you close to her pain and you help her heal—with no expectations on her. It’s not a commitment to enter lightly. 
  If Jesus has burdened your heart for a survivor, but you don’t know what to do, start with this book. It will take work, prayer, and patience, but she’s worth it. 
    
  The book has four main sections: 
  1) What it means to be a survivor. 
  2) What it means to be an ally. 
  3) How to be an ally. 
  4) Reach out to her. 
    
  My intent is to break your heart and prepare you to be the ally your survivor friend needs. You will learn about the crime, read four other books (listed below), and then, with your friend’s permission, you’ll write a series of letters meant to encourage her and build an allyship. It’s a process designed around her, her needs, and her safety. 
    
  And who am I, you ask? I’m no one special, but God used my friendship with a survivor to call me to this work. I’ve had the privilege of getting to know many more, and their voices are found all through this text. My hope is to encourage men to get involved in allyship and advocacy.
