The Bodhi Tree Grows in L.A.
Truth is regularly stranger than fiction for the abbot of a Buddhist temple in the far-from-tranquil inner city of Los Angeles, California. Whether he is talking a dangerously unbalanced man out of buying a gun, confronting a naked woman in his meditation hall, or helping gamblers reform, Bhante Walpola Piyananda demonstrates that every experience can be an opportunity for learning and appreciating the Buddha's teachings. Bhante Piyananda also reflects on social and political issues such as the racial tension in his neighborhood after the Rodney King trial and the destruction of the Bamiyan Buddha statues in Afganistan.
It's by Grace
It's By Grace is a book filled with joy, hope and fun. Ana, the author, was reading a 1996 lecture by Yogi Bhajan when she came across, " You are the power, you don't need the power, you are the beauty, you don't need the beauty, you are the success, you don't need the success." This passage sparked a light within her. She was reminded of the power of her inner light. The creation of this book was made in hope of inspiring others to look within for their power, beauty and success. The story is called, "It's by Grace" because grace plays a huge part in our journey of awakening. Often we might feel overwhelmed because we think we are not doing the right thing, though, by the grace of God, it always works out.

The Psychology of Women under Patriarchy
In the #MeToo era, US women continue to struggle with whether or not to report sexual harassment, while women living in parts of rural Pakistan and Mexico try to pursue educational and employment opportunities without directly refusing parental wishes for them to marry. Despite rapidly changing social and economic conditions worldwide, patriarchal practices remain remarkably widespread and persistent. Noting the need to move beyond a dichotomy of accommodation and resistance, the contributors to this volume draw upon field research and in-depth qualitative data from different parts of the world to explore the reasons for women’s varied psychological responses to patriarchy. These feminist scholars bridge preexisting divides between bio-psychological, sociological, and cultural perspectives to explain the ways that women’s desires, goals, and identities interact with culturally situated systems in order to develop more complex theories about the psychological underpinnings of patriarchy and to inform more socially progressive policies to improve the lives of women and men globally.
