What if someone born and raised in the American Midwest were suddenly immersed in the culture of a Buddhist monastery in rural Thailand? This is a true story told with unflinching introspection and honesty - along with generous helpings of humor and warmth. Bill Reyland's vivid and detailed descriptions of people and places carry us instantly half way around the globe. An admittedly naIve aspiration leads, by a tortuous path, to deeper understanding--and along the way we are offered a glimpse behind the saffron robes into our common human predicament.

Bangkok may be booming, but not much has changed in Isan. Living in an Isan temple, you witness everyday life pretty much the way it's always been. For most people here, Theravada Buddhist tradition is still very much a part of everyday life. Some even say that Isan is the land that Thailand forgot, and while it's not the most beautiful place, the people are stunning.

Download Being Dharma Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
This collection of ‘dharma talks’ from one of the great Buddhist teachers of the 20th-century is a fun, accessible crash course in Theravadan teachings on meditation, mindfulness, and more Ajahn Chah influenced a generation of Western teachers: Jack Kornfield, Sharon Salzberg, Sylvia Boorstein, Joseph Goldstein, and many other Western Buddhist teachers were at one time his students. Anyone who has attended a retreat led by one of these teachers, or read one of their books, will be familiar with this master's name and reputation as one of the great Buddhist teachers of this century. Here, Chah offers a thorough exploration of Theravada Buddhism in a gentle, sometimes humorous, style that makes the reader feel as though he or she is being entertained by a story. He emphasizes the path to freedom from emotional and psychological suffering and provides insight into the fact that taking ourselves seriously causes unnecessary hardship.

Download Isan Son-in-Law Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Isan Son-in-Law is a memoir of the author's developing relationship with his father-in-law and with his family which has its roots in a small town in Isan, where the cultures of Thailand and Laos mix. We get to know some of the people and places he came to know and love in Thailand and how he and his wife and their two children began to establish a life there and later in Laos, before eventually moving to England.Isan Son-in-Law combines self-deprecating humour, cultural insight and colourful characters such as Mr Joonchit, the benevolent con-man, and Mac, the U.S. master-sergeant. This is no cultural tourism: this book is an invitation into an Isan family and its home.The book gives a very detailed account of not only the lives of an Isan family, but also Isan ceremonies and rituals.

Download The Accidental Buddhist Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
THE ACCIDENTAL BUDDHIST is the funny, provocative story of how Dinty Moore went looking for the faith he'd lost in what might seem the most unlikely of places: the ancient Eastern tradition of Buddhism. Moore demystifies and explains the contradictions and concepts of this most mystic-seeming of religious traditions. This plain-spoken, insightful look at the dharma in America will fascinate anyone curious about the wisdom of other cultures and other religions. "Sure of foot in complex terrain, and packing a blessedly down-to-earth sense of humor, Dinty Moore is the perfect scout for the new frontiers of American Buddhism."--Rodger Kamenetz, author of THE JEW IN THE LOTUS and STALKING ELIJAH.
