Buddhism
£28.00Buddhism
One of the world’s leading scholars of Buddhism presents the story of its dramatic journey across the globe, from 2500 years ago to the present day. Beginning with the life and teachings of the Buddha, Lopez shows how a set of evolving ideas and practices traveled north and east to China, Korea, Japan, Mongolia, and Tibet, south and southeast to Sri Lanka, Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, and Indonesia, and finally westward to Europe and the Americas. He provides insights on questions that Buddhism has asked and answered in different times and different places-about apocalypse, art, identity, immortality, law, nation, persecution, philosophy, science, sex, war, and writing. Vast in its erudition and expansive in its vision, this is the most complete history of Buddhism in its full historical and geographical range.

What is happiness
£14.99What is happiness
There are many things that seem to prevent us from being happy in our lives. Usually, things don’t turn out the way we want them to. It could be unfulfilled goals, bad habits, a society that’s built to benefit only those at the very top, or the loops of self-deprecation that many of us find ourselves falling into. But we can take control of our happiness, whatever life throws at us. We all have the right, and the ability, to be happy regardless of our situation. With his simple yet profound teachings, Buddhist monk Pomnyun Sunim shows us how to combat day-to-day anxiety, insecurity, anger, and discouragement.

In ‘When Things Don’t Go Your Way’, Zen Buddhist teacher Haemin Sunim provides simple but powerful wisdom for navigating life’s challenges. Through his trademark combination of illustrations, insightful stories, and contemplative aphorisms, Sunim helps us reframe our mindsets and develop emotional agility.
