The Madhyamika or middle way, a school of Buddhist thought that originated in India in the second century, was a decisive influence on the subsequent development of Mahayana Buddhism. In a new approach, this book reconsiders the central doctrine of emptiness and shows that the Madhyamika critique of all philosophical views is both subtler and more radical than most western interpretations indicate. In this analysis, the self deconstructing categories of Nagarjuna and his immediate followers emerge as an edifying philosophy that may have a great deal to offer to discussion to the related probl

In recent years, the bold new teacher known as Adyashanti has dared hundreds of students across North America to ask, ?What is ultimately behind this set of eyes??

Openness: Discover the freedom available when you cultivate an open heart and an open mind, and lose your self-image to total presence. ? Love: Enjoy the peace from b

Very few books explicitly examine the experience of emptiness, and while several authors have examined the related phenomenon of meaninglessness, it has, for the most part, been regarded as a pathological sign. This book reviews the work of many authors who have tackled this topic and provides an integrated explanation for the experience of emptiness, showing that it is correlated with emotional growth and is thus a sign of an opportunity for personal development, even though not always an expected or welcome one. By providing explanations for this experience, numerous case examples spanning a

"Sometimes you might think, ’What’s the use of teachings on emptiness? How does this philosophy help me when I have problems in everyday life?’ However, if you can think [about emptiness], it’s the most powerful meditation to shatter the hallucinations. It’s like an atomic bomb. Problems happen in your daily life because you believe the hallucinations to be real. The most powerful, immediate way to stop problems is to remember emptiness. You should especially remember emptiness when you are in situations where there’s a danger of giving rise to strong anger

Sex and the City, the popular television series and motion picture franchise, glorifies the lifestyles of four fashionable New York women who hang out in bars and talk bluntly about their broad range of sexual experiences. The awards lavished upon the show would imply it holds some redeeming value. However, despite claims that Sex and the City is ultimately about the longing for a committed relationship, the glamorization of casual sex and always looking fabulous can take a toll on impressionable young women. Just ask Marian Jordan. In Sex and the City Uncovered she admits, "A painful exi
