Song of Trusting the Heart
Zen masters say only one thing matters in life -- the now, and only one thing matters at death -- a peaceful heart. The way to achieve both is vibrantly expressed in the poem "Song of Trusting the Heart" (also known as Hsin Hsin Ming or Faith Mind Inscription), an ancient Chinese scripture beloved by sages and considered a cornerstone of Zen Buddhism. Written in the 6th century by Jianzhi Sengcan -- the third Zen patriarch of China -- the poem inspires its readers to experience life without the burdens of attachments and judgements, however the few existing translations are either dated or weighed down with commentary. Tamarack Song, a student of nature and indigenous cultures, adapts these verses to the modern seeker, while staying faithful to the poem's original phrasing. Each stanza is embellished with a striking full-page, original illustration by the Japanese brush-painting master Jan Zaremba. The book starts with a brief introduction to Zen, exploring its obscure origins, then offers one verse for each day of the lunar month. This beautiful little volume will become a daily meditation guide for those looking for refinement and peace in our modern world.

Journey to the Ancestral Self
This book is an unabashed and unsentimental response to our repressed longing: to dance to the drum, to circle the ritual fire, to know healing lore from times when plants spoke, and to walk again in the balance of the earth. Tamarack Song teaches that the lifeways of all Native peoples are essentially one, sharing not only the same ceremonies and life transitions, but the same spirit and reverence for life. Regardless of ethnic background or religious upbringing, we all are essentially Native people who have lost our original voice. In regaining that lost voice we make discoveries. Native lifeways - the Ways of the Guardian Warrior, the caretaking of children, and reverence for elders - are intrinsic to all human experience. Native traditional practices - moon ritual, seeking a mentor, and honoring male and female energy - encourage hidden spiritual powers to manifest. There is a human capacity for healing that can only be discovered by returning to balance with Earth Mother.
Truthspeaking
In our culture, the rational self is esteemed, and we are trained to approach life from the head. However, to know ourselves, we need to get in touch with our Hearts and Heartvoice-the Voice of Truth. When we speak from the Heart, we speak with a clarity that is not besieged by emotion or the ego's motives. I call this way of communication Truthspeaking.To Truthspeak is to state clearly and simply what one thinks and feels. There is no judgment or expectation, no disguise of humor or force of anger. This manner of speech is sacred, because it wells up from the soul of our being rather than from our self-absorbed ego.Unfortunately, Truthspeaking itself is currently on the Endangered Speech Li...
Whispers of the Ancients
It's easy to imagine yourself transported back to a time when an Elder might have told stories like those in Whispers of the Ancients around a glowing hearth. Thanks to Tamarack Song's storytelling skills, monsters, heroes, and shapeshifters come alive and open a doorway to the mysteries of life. Easily accessible to all ages, this is a book that speaks to each person at their own level of comprehension and need. It is as beautiful to read as it is to look at. Stunning Aboriginal artwork by Moses (Amik) Beaver combines with provocative storytelling to renew, in all their traditional splendor, exceptional legends from around the world. Entertaining, profound, passionate, glorious--these are stories that illustrate and evoke themes common to everyone's life, with an ancient wisdom that helps the listener to cope with today's opportunities for tenderness, grief, passion, and irony.
Zen Rising
Zen Rising is a special collection of the most beloved teaching stories in the Zen tradition. They all trace back to the classical time when Sage and Seeker sat together and reflected on the inner truths these stories embodied. As the Quest for Awakening is intrinsic to the human experience, these tales are just as vibrant today as when they were first told. For this book, the author selected the stories he uses in his teachings. Each of us is part Sage and part Seeker, part Scholar and part Fool. We find these aspects of ourselves mired in confusion, struggling with paradox, and ecstatic with flashes of enlightenment as page-by-page we take this Journey of Life.
