	Dependent Arising In Context: The Buddha’s Core Lesson, in the Context of His Time and Ours / Linda S. Blanchard Dependent arising is the backbone of the Buddha’s doctrine–all the other lessons he taught relate to it, or refer to it in some way–yet it is the least understood. There is a confusion of theories as to its meaning: Is it about three lives, or one? About rebirth or moment-to-moment creation of the ego? All these questions are easily answered when we see where the structure came from, and what the lesson is really about.
	Mindfulness: A Practical Guide to Awakening / Joseph Goldstein From education and medicine to business and politics, we are in the midst of a great flowering of mindfulness. And with each new application we find for it, priceless benefits emerge. Yet the original purpose of mindfulness has remained throughout the centuries: spiritual awakening. With Mindfulness, Joseph Goldstein shares the wisdom of his four decades of teaching and practice in a book that will serve as a lifelong companion for anyone committed to mindful living and the realization of inner freedom.
	The Profound Treasury of the Ocean of Dharma / Chogyam Trungpa Volume 1: The Path of Individual Liberation: Volume 2: The Bodhisattva Path of Wisdom and Compassion Volume 3: The Tantric Path of Indestructible Wakefulness The Profound Treasury of the Ocean of Dharma represents meditation master Chögyam Trungpa’s greatest contribution to Western Buddhism. This three-volume collection presents in lively, relevant language the comprehensive teachings of the Tibetan Buddhist path of the hinayana, mahayana, and vajrayana. This work will resonate with new students of Buddhism as well as the most senior students. (On Reference shelf. May be checked out only by permission.)
