  This is an audiobook of Bodhi Leaves No. 98 by Bhikkhu Khantipālo, 'Heedfulness' found in the Pariyatti Edition of Collected Bodhi Leaves Vol. IV, narrated by Shelina Hetherington. 
   
  Excerpt: 
  ...The quality of heedfulness has been praised many times by the Exalted Buddha, just as the opposite, heedlessness, has been condemned. In this Dhamma, there is much to be practised and there is practice suitable for every posture of the body and every minute of the day. There is practice to be done concerning the stream of thoughts racing in the mind, there is more practice connected with the thousands of words spoken every day, and there is Dhamma-practice for the body, whatever it is doing. Now none of this can be accomplished without heedfulness, without making effort, without employing mindful awareness, or without wisdom. Heedfulness implies the conscious cultivation of these three aspects of Dhamma: effort, mindfulness and wisdom....

  Ancient Egypt - Pharaohs...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  The Nile River was the lifeblood of ancient Egypt, shaping its civilization, economy, and culture. Flowing over 4,000 miles from the heart of Africa to the Mediterranean Sea, the river provided a reliable source of water in an otherwise arid landscape. Without the Nile, Egypt as we know it would not have existed. 
  Each year, the river’s annual flooding deposited nutrient-rich silt onto the surrounding land, creating fertile soil ideal for agriculture. This natural cycle allowed the Egyptians to grow crops such as wheat, barley, and flax, sustaining a thriving population. 
  The predictability of the flooding led to the development of an agricultural calendar, which played a crucial role in the organization of society. Farmers planted their crops after the waters receded and harvested them before the next flood, ensuring a steady food supply. 
  Beyond agriculture, the Nile was also Egypt’s main highway. With deserts on either side of the river, travel by land was difficult, but the Nile provided an efficient means of transportation. Boats carried goods, people, and even large stone blocks for temple and pyramid construction. Trade flourished as the Egyptians exchanged gold, papyrus, and linen for exotic products from neighboring regions, including spices from the east and cedarwood from Lebanon.

  The lessons included in this book are written by an Asiatic for the English-speaking peoples of the world, and suffer from the fact that the mother tongue of the writer is not English nor Sanskrit and that his metaphysic is oriental. Much of the teaching that 1s given here has been given out privately in the Yogic schools of the select, though not in the practical form herein presented. The excuse for the book is the need of arrangement before doubting, enquiring minds prepared to question every argument and assertion; of facts and theories so that they fit in with the composite scheme presented by the Yogi philosophy.

  Insatiably Mine - About...

  Harald Vestgöte Kirsebom

  This is a book about the type of people who survive through destroying other people. 
  According to the author, we all do our best to make our way through life, and we are all forced to make sense of our own lives. In that respect, there is only one type of human being. You see, none of us really knows why we were born, and the people who have raised us, such as parents and teachers, are equally oblivious. 
  Getting through life involves a lot of pain and in our life journey, we will experience various kinds of pain. The pain has different origins, but it mainly has to do with fear and feelings of separation and isolation. 
  Some people have experienced these emotions to the degree that they have learnt to get through life by sucking the life force out of others; insatiably. The author shares his understanding of the destructive behaviour that comes along with these people. To do this in a balanced manner, the author moves between different vantage points; the emphatic, the accepting and the brutal. 
  This might sound strange, but even the most horrible tyrants are tyrants because they deep down crave to be loved. Reading this book is enlightening for every searching human being. The book can be read for self-development and personal growth, and it can be read to understand more about your own encounters with destructive people. It can help you understand interactions in family situations, childcare, work situations, politics and community life.
