In a old temple tucked into a Tokyo back street, and at a remote temple in northern Japan, Maura O'Halloran began her formal Zen training. A restless, socially committed young Irish-American woman, Maura had already traveled the world in search of enlightenment and human fellowship. One thousand days later she received the dharma transmission of her Roshi. Her promising life was cut short when, at age 27, she was killed in an accident on the road to Chiang Mai; she continues to be revered as a Buddhist saint by her fellows in the Kannonji Temple. Collecting Maura's journals and letters during this three year period in Japan, Pure Heart, Enlightened Mind is a powerful record of one woman's journey to her destiny. Maura eloquently describes the rigors, hardships and ultimate joys of Zen training and temple life. Throughout her private and heart-felt writings, an endless sense of compassion is revealed which will deeply touch all who read this book.

Achaan Chah spent many years walking and meditating in the forest monastery of Wat Ba Pong, engaging in the uncomplicated and disciplined Buddhist practice called dhudanga. A Still Forest Pool reflects the quiet, intensive, and joyous practice of the forest monks of Thailand. Achaan Chah’s humble words, compiled by two Westerners who are former ordained monks, awaken the spirit of inquiry, wonderment, understanding, and deep inner peace. Attachment, according to Achaan Chah, causes all suffering. Understanding the impermanent, insecure, and selfless nature of life is the message he offers for human happiness and realization. To vividly grasp the meaning of attachment leads us to a new place of practice – the path of balance, the Middle Path.

In the late 1990s, shortly after arriving in the United States, it became clear to Dza Kilung Rinpoche that his Western students responded to traditional meditation instructions differently from his students back in Asia. The Westerners didn’t know how to relax—our pressured, fast-paced lifestyles carried over into meditation. The Relaxed Mind contains instructions for the seven-phase meditation practice Dza Kilung Rinpoche developed for students in the West. It’s adapted from traditional instructions to counteract the overwhelming distraction that is becoming a global culture these days, not only in the West. Experienced meditators may be surprised to find their practice deepening through letting go of tension. This is also an excellent meditation manual for any beginner.
