Hardback. Zustand: Good. The first of six in the How Life Works Series, How Generosity Works follows in the tradition of How Yoga Works by illustrating through contemporary fable how one can create a happier life. The teachings draw from 8th Century Buddhist monk Master Shantideva's A Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life but are accessible to anyone looking for inspiration, regardless of background or belief. Never preachy, How Generosity Works demonstrates how to transform pain and anger into a profound experience of love. The fable centers on Troy, a young man grieving the death of his good friend and Grace, a middle-aged Buddhist practitioner. Troy has returned home after failing too many college classes. At his father's house, he endures the unwelcoming scorn from a combative stepmother. Troy and Grace connect through music, which sets the spae for deeper teaching of Master Shantideva's verses, interwoven throughout the text. Empowered by the knowledge that Grace imparts, Troy takes control of his own life as he begins the journey out of his pain. The How Life Works series is a collection of beautifully packaged, small hardcover books, designed for inspirational giving. The series is based on the six perfections: generosity, ethics, patience, joyous effort, concentration, and wisdom.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Part instruction and part story, How Joyous Efforts Work uses contemporary fictional characters to connect with and integrate Buddhist philosophy and practice into daily life on a practical and universal level. Troy, a young man in his early 20s who is trying to heal from his difficult past, continues his journey with the theme of the previous three books: When the student is ready the master appears. In How Joyous Efforts Work, Troy meets his next teacher, Jules, a master luthier (builder of string instruments). Using the luthier's skills as metaphor and meditative support, Jules guides Troy as he takes on the challenge of integrating the deeper points of the Buddhist view with every aspect of his own life. Troy applies the lessons that Jules presents as he navigates the death of his uncle and struggles to balance a dedicated Buddhist practice in his relationship with Maggie. Having made so much progress in his practice, Troy is devastated when Maggie refuses his marriage proposal explaining that she loves him and can promise her devotion, but she never wants to be married. Troy is now confronted by his own rage. Hurt, angry, and confused, Troy reflects on all that he has learned, remembering that attachment is a main cause of suffering, and that the true source of happiness comes not from seeking happiness for oneself, but for the happiness of others. His efforts to apply the Buddhist teachings demonstrate the actual practice of putting this ancient and time-proven wisdom into action, and the liberating joy that follows. He offers Maggie the ring again, not as a symbol of marriage but as a symbol of their love, and with no strings attached. With this understanding, Maggie accepts. Suitable for non-Buddhists, How Joyous Efforts Work and the previous three books in the How Life Works series can also provide a solid support for those already engaged in the teachings to reinforce or help shed light on the Buddhist dharma.…
