Practicing the Jhanas
This is a clear and in-depth presentation of the traditional Theravadin concentration meditation known as jhāna practice, from two authors who have practiced the jhānas in retreat under the guidance of one of the great living meditation masters, Pa Auk Sayadaw. The authors describe the techniques and their results, based on their own experience.
Summary of Stephen Snyder, Tina Rasmussen & Pa Auk Sayadaw's Practicing the Jhanas
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The book serves as a bridge between the traditional teachings of the Buddha outlined in the suttas and my book Knowing and Seeing. It allows practitioners to progress more quickly and deeply through the vipassanā portion of the Buddhist path. #2 The Buddha’s teachings on meditation were made more accessible to meditators through the modern day teachings of the Venerable Pa Auk Sayadaw. This book is an offering of those experiences. #3 We want to thank Robert Cusick, who went to Burma and faced the challenges he encountered there so he could bring his enthusiasm for this practice back to share with others. We would also like to thank Guy Armstrong for his support and guidance. #4 The jhānas are a pillar of modern Buddhist practices. They are a difficult practice, but they are a foundational method for purifying the mind. They have been done through the ages as a method for achieving liberation.

Diary of a Drag Queen
Longlisted for the Polari First Book Prize 2020 Life's a drag... Why not be a queen? 'Stories like the one where you shagged a 79-year-old builder and knocked over his sister's ashes while feeding him a Viagra. Or the time you crashed your car because you were giving a hand job in barely moving traffic and took your eye off the car in front. That's the kind of dinner-party ice-breaker I'm talking about.' Northern, working-class and shagging men three times her age, Crystal writes candidly about her search for 'the one'; sleeping with a VIP in an attempt to become a world famous journalist; getting hired and fired by a well-known fashion magazine; being torn between losing weight and gorging on KFC; and her need for constant sexual satisfaction (and where that takes her). Charting her day-to-day adventures over the course of a year, we encounter tucks, twists and sucks, heinous overspending and endless nights spent sprinting from problem to problem in a full face of make-up. This is a place where the previously unspeakable becomes the commendable - a unique portrayal of the queer experience. (c) 2019, Crystal Rasmussen (P) 2019 Penguin Audio

Buddhism beyond Borders
Explores facets of North American Buddhism while taking into account the impact of globalization and increasing interconnectivity. Buddhism beyond Borders provides a fresh consideration of Buddhism in the American context. It includes both theoretical discussions and case studies to highlight the tension between studies that locate Buddhist communities in regionally specific areas and those that highlight the translocal nature of an increasingly interconnected world. Whereas previous examinations of Buddhism in North America have assumed a more or less essentialized and homogeneous American culture, the essays in this volume offer a corrective, situating American Buddhist groups within the framework of globalized cultural flows, while exploring the effects of local forces. Contributors examine regionalism within American Buddhisms, Buddhist identity and ethnicity as academic typologies, Buddhist modernities, the secularization and hybridization of Buddhism, Buddhist fiction, and Buddhist controversies involving the Internet, among other issues.
