Dear Friends,
For those coming to AAR, please do come and pay us a visit at booth 739.
You will get a glimpse of some of our upcoming books as well as browse hundreds of our religious titles including 50 new Buddhist books released since the last AAR including important acedemic works and translations. Some of these include:
A Feast of the Nectar of the Supreme Vehicle: An Explanation of the Ornament of the Mahayana Sutras.
This is a new translation of the Mahayanasutralamkara along with Mipham Rinpoche's extensive commentary which itself is largely based on Sthiramati's commentary
In the Cool Shade of Compassion: The Enchanted World of the Buddha in the Jungle
The wandering monks and adepts of the village temples, hills, and forests of Thailand as reconted by the oral tradition, and written testimony og both Thai and European witnesses.
The Core Teaching of the Dalai Lama (a new series of some of the Dalai Lama's most important works)
The 3 volumes of Longchenpa's Finding Rest troilogy (sems nyid ngal gso), translated by the Padmakara Translation Grup (the third volume is on its way from the printer).
Zen master Yunmen, introduced and translated by Urs App
Buddhism Beyond Gender by Rita Gross
In particular, you can see the inaugural volume of our Lives of the Masters series, Donald Lopez's Gendun Chopel: Tibet’s Modern Visionary. The Lives of the Masters series offers engaging introductions to the lives, works, and legacies of key Buddhist teachers, writers, and contemplatives. Each volume tells the story of an innovator who embodied the highest ideals of Buddhism, crafted a dynamic living tradition during his or her lifetime, and transmitted a vibrant legacy of wisdom to future generations. Indispensable to scholars, undergraduates, and practitioners alike, these volumes offer a gateway to better understanding these great figures and their times. The subjects of these volumes will span more than two millennia and cover the full range of geographies and traditions that encompass the Buddhist world.
See you soon.
