Amber Lotus Cards and Gifts Catalog 2013

Welcome to Amber Lotus Peaceful greetings from your friends at Amber Lotus Publishing We’ve been publishing calendars, greeting cards, journals, books and other paper products for 25 years. Longtime friends and supporters are used to seeing these products all together in one catalog, so it is with excitement and some trepidation that we introduce a stand-alone card and gift catalog. Too long in the shadow of our exceptional calendar program, our card and gift business is rapidly growing up and demanding a place of its own. We can’t help feeling both proud and nervous as we send it out into the world.

As always, you will find in these pages a range of card Kristina Swarner, page 20 offerings from some of the finest artists in the country and throughout the world. From the calligraphic genius of Renée Locks (pages 16–20) and the contemporary whimsy of Duirwaigh Studios (pages 11–14) to the traditional Sacred Images of Tibet (page 29), there is something here for everyone. We strive to pair remarkable artwork with sentiments that reflect the full range of the human experience. Helping people celebrate, communicate and share life’s momentous occasions is a true honor and one of the most rewarding things we do.

Lo Renée

In addition to new card releases, we’re thrilled to be adding to our popular and affordable line of travel-size journals (pages 2–5). With 218 lined pages, inspirational covers and charming graphics throughout, they are sure to motivate writers everywhere.

As we move ever forward with our mission to illuminate spirit in the world, we remain mindful of our responsibility to the planet we share. As part of our commitment to the environment, we planted 100,000 trees in 2012 and have committed to plant 120,000 in 2013.

Trees for the Future estimates that these trees, along with those previously planted, will remove 8,250 tons of CO2 from the atmosphere every year – more than 16 times the CO2 produced annually by our publishing operations.

We begin 2013 full of optimism and goodwill, and we want to extend our deepest gratitude to our customers, artists, authors, representatives and friends all around the world. Please stay in touch. Send us an email, visit us on Facebook or maybe even send us an old-fashioned Duirw aigh, p card; you’ll find a wealth of them in these pages. age 11 Love and blessings to all.

Chuang Tsu: Inner Chapters 35th Anniversary Edition

Translated by Gia-fu Feng and Jane English

Brilliant, mystical, pragmatic and witty, Chuang Tsu has been called the world’s first anarchist. Even 2,000 years after the author’s death, this provocative Taoist text remains in the forefront of ancient Chinese philosophical study.

Chuang Tsu: Inner Chapters is a spiritual classic in its own right and a source book second only to its companion, the Tao Te Ching, in importance in the Taoist canon. The sublime prose serves as a profound and paradoxical commentary to the Tao Te Ching. ”Chuang Tsu is full of humor. He talks about a human being learning about age, death, conflict and becoming enlightened in the moment of living. He talks about how to dance with problems.” — Chungliang Al Huang , author of Embrace Tiger, Return to Mountain
