  Relish these direct, experiential meditation instructions from the author of the bestselling Introduction to Tantra.Lama Yeshe tells us that mahamudra is “the universal reality of emptiness, of nonduality” and its unique characteristic is its emphasis on meditation: “With mahamudra meditation there is no doctrine, no theology, no philosophy, no God, no Buddha. Mahamudra is only experience.”He relies on the First Panchen Lama’s well-known Root Text of Genden Mahamudra, which in a few short pages provides the pith instructions for, first, overcoming distraction and resting in meditative stillness on the clarity of one’s own mind, and then, with subtle awareness, penetrating its ultimate nature, its emptiness.As always, Lama Yeshe’s words are direct, funny, and incredibly encouraging. He gets us to go beyond ego’s addiction to a limited sense of self and to taste the lightness and expansiveness of our own true nature.

Rome's rulers had controlled an immense region that stretched out into northern Europe, parts of Africa, and Asia for quite a long time. The city of Rome was the most delightful and refined on the planet. It was filled with parks and gardens, marble curves and sculptures, lavish royal residences, immense amphitheaters, and rambling colleges. All were connected by an unpredictable organization of streets furthermore water-bearing reservoir conduits. Rome was a focal point of world culture as the capital of the most impressive country on Earth. By AD 98, majestic Rome arrived at its most extreme size, becoming the most significant realm ever. The vast domain contained around 60 million individuals, or around one-fourth of Earth's populace. Romans, who spoke Latin, alluded to their properties as the imperium sine fine, or "domain without end." The realm extended through the advanced countries of Spain, France, England, Netherlands, and Germany. It incorporated quite a bit of eastern Europe, including Slovenia, Romania, Armenia, and what's more, Croatia. The domain without end spread across North Africa from Morocco to Egypt and east into Turkey, Syria, and Iraq. Every one of the regions was joined under the Roman principle, wherever the official language was Latin. All over the place, installments were made in sestertii (Roman brass coins).

  From an award-winning journalist comes a vivid and moving portrait of eight  
  trans and nonbinary teenagers across the country, following their daily  
  triumphs, struggles, and all that encompasses growing up trans in America  
  today. 
  Media coverage tends to sensationalize the fight over how trans kids should be  
  allowed to live, but what is incredibly rare are the voices of the people at the  
  heart of this debate: transgender and gender nonconforming kids themselves. For  
  their groundbreaking new book, journalist Nico Lang spent a year traveling the  
  country to document the lives of transgender, nonbinary, and genderfluid teens  
  and their families.  
  From the tip of Florida’s conservative panhandle to vibrant queer communities in  
  California, and from Texas churches to mosques in Illinois, American Teenager 
  gives readers a window into the lives of Wyatt, Rhydian, Mykah, Clint, Ruby,  
  Augie, Jack, and Kylie, eight teens who, despite what some lawmakers might want  
  us to believe, are truly just kids looking for a brighter future. Drawing on hundreds  
  of hours of on-the-ground interviews with them and the people in their  
  communities, American Teenager paints a vivid portrait of what it’s actually like to  
  grow up trans today. 
  “With humor and compassion, Lang shows trans teenagers as they really are: kids  
  trying their best, day by day, to grow into their truest selves and fullest  
  potential.”—Maia Kobabe, author of Gender Queer: A Memoir
