The Life of the Buddha: Suffering and Its Resolution

Patrick Sweeney is the lineage holder of the Karma Kagyü lineage, given by the Vidyadhara, Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche. He is also the head of Satdharma-meaning "genuine dharma"-a Buddhist organization created with the purpose of propagating Chögyam Trungpa's unique transmission.

Here Patrick recounts the remarkable story of Buddha's life, which is not just the story of a man in India thousands of years ago, but is in fact the story of your own becoming. "It's your life that's being discussed. He left home, and entered the wilderness--the wilderness of his own heart and his own mind. He stepped out of the dream. Have you stepped out of your dream? Do you want to step out of your dream? Do you have the taste for waking up?"

The One Two Three of God

Is it possible to develop an all-inclusive embrace of God, one that can satisfy scientists, philosophers, and priests at the same time? It is, teaches best-selling author Ken Wilber, if you are able to understand The 1-2-3 of God. According to this premier modern philosopher, the seemingly innumerable ways humans conceptualize God can actually be broken down into three basic perspectives. Now, Ken Wilber invites listeners to learn more.

Integral Spirituality: A Startling New Role for Religion in the Modern and Postmodern World

Applying his highly acclaimed integral approach, Ken Wilber formulates a theory of spirituality that honors the truths of modernity and postmodernity-including the revolutions in science and culture-while incorporating the essential insights of the great religions. He shows how spirituality today combines the enlightenment of the East, which excels at cultivating higher states of consciousness, with the enlightenment of the West, which offers developmental and psychodynamic psychology. Each contributes key components to a more integral spirituality.

Kosmic Consciousness

This is a beautiful package of ten CDs featuring Ken Wilber interviewed by Tammy Simon founder of Sounds True. The discussions are informal and although introductory do get to somewhat meaty matters. Great as an introduction to Ken's work but just as enjoyable for those who have read his works. Beautifully packaged.
