Please make all cheques payable to Wangapeka Books. **new** February 2009 Now available from wangapekabooks@clear.net.nz  Right Livelihood and Other Foundations of EnlightenmentInspiring teachings from the Venerable Namgyal Rinpoché on the foundations of enlightenment, from formal practices and meditations - such as Foundations of Mindfulness, Ordinary and Extraordinary Foundation Work, Puja, Visualization and Mantra, the Brahma Vihara and Mahamudra - to the realization of the transcendental in daily life as embodied in every moment, including marriage, parenting and community: the spiritual journey of purification, illumination and the beatific. “There's a little more to the question of right livelihood than how you get your money. In the teaching, right livelihood involves your whole lifestyle, which really is a reflection of the overall mind state in which you are progressing. To bring a being forth into a wholesome state is another matter: to actually give beings the secret of coming into wholesome living is a little more difficult. That requires effort and study. The being who does not study will never achieve logos 'reason'. All such a being has to move with is emotional reaction.” 150 pages - NZ$30 + postage (cheque to Wangapeka Books) Other books by Namgyal Rinpoché are directly available from Bodhi Publishing in Canada. **new** January 2009 Bulk Study Discount: Over the years, a number of people have used one or more of Tarchin's books as a springboard or guide for dharma teaching or discussion.

Books by Tarchin Hearn  Something Beautiful for the Worlda shakuhachi sadhana by Tarchin Hearn illustrations by Robert Sinclair Flute making and human making are similar arts. Both driven by the muse. Both dancing and revealing the music that we are. Both inviting and drawing forth the music that is other. The pages of this beautifully written and richly illustrated book oscillate back and forth between bamboo flute and human flute. Each is a metaphor for the other. Making a flute, bamboo or human, and playing it, are extraordinarily intertwined like a continuous loop. How we play becomes the very action of crafting the instrument. Crafting the instrument is the making of music. Beautiful instruments and beautiful music go together. This small book will be a treasury of inspiration for educators, artists, and meditators, in fact, for anyone who aspires to craft themselves into, Something Beautiful for the World.

It invites us to couple our breathing with love and clear seeing and to meditatively explore the world within and around us. Many clear and detailed techniques are given throughout, but in essence the natural way to meditate does not rely on technique. It flowers whenever we are interested in life. What is this marvel we call the body? What is this mystery called speech and communication? What is this wonder called mind? What could it mean to realise freedom while fully engaged in life? Thoroughly non-sectarian, this is a path of awakening that will speak to seekers from all traditions and backgrounds and stages of experience. 146 pages - NZ$20 + postage (cheque to Wangapeka Books)  Natural Awakening - The Way of the HeartNatural awakening is a book of great inspiration and beauty. The teaching is direct and profound without being complicated. It encourages us to develop friendliness and interest towards every moment of life and to immerse ourselves in what Tarchin calls "the practice of already here." Throughout its pages travel interleaves with poetry, philosophy weaves with meditation techniques and science merges with mysticism. Twenty-two practical exercises are included, making a book of great clarity and relevance to all who are interested in health, awakening and the well being of the world. 240 pages - NZ$20 + postage (cheque to Wangapeka Books)  Growth and Unfolding - Our Human BirthrightNew Edition Sept 2004 Growth and Unfolding combines poetry and vision with clear instruction and good down-to-earth common-sense. It leads us step by step to a life that is awake, integrated and joyous and truly universal in scope. At times humorous and at times biting, it cuts very quickly to the core of what is most important to all of us. 180 pages - NZ$20 + postage (cheque to Wangapeka Books) Walking in Wisdom now in French ...
