The Amber Lotus 2012–2013 Catalog Q Illuminating Spirit in the World !
Welcome to Amber Lotus Peaceful greetings from your friends at Amber Lotus Publishing. For nearly 25 years we have been publishing calendars, cards, books and other paper products that celebrate the beauty, wisdom and cultural diversity in the world we share. We thank you for your support and encouragement over the years. We want to make you aware of a significant change in our calendar program. Due to the continuing turmoil in the economy, we have had to suspend printing on 100% recycled paper. While we were able to afford the higher cost for the first three years of the current recession, we can no longer sustain it given the weak economy and the closing of Borders. Instead, we will print our 2013 calendars on Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Certified Mixed Paper from wellmanaged forests that have met FSC’s high social and environmental standards. To offset this change, we will increase the number of trees we plant yearly from A Course in Miracles wall calendar, page 17 30,000 to 100,000, which represents more than 40 times the number of trees used for our 2013 calendars. Trees for the Future estimates that these trees, along with those we previously planted, will remove 5,000 tons of CO2 from the atmosphere annually versus the estimated 339 tons generated by our 2013 calendar printing. We take our commitment to environmental responsibility seriously and will continue to take steps to remain a leader in green calendar publishing. As always, we’re proud to offer a full line of products dedicated to illuminating spirit in the world, including an exciting new line of travel-size journals (pages 2-3). With a generous 224 lined pages and charming graphics through-out, these journals will help you get your writing groove on.

Green Patriot Posters
for
environMental activisM the Green Patriot wall calendar is a collection of exceptional contemporary posters promoting sustainability and the fight against climate change. these dynamic posters, which never rest on the tired slogans of the past (“save the earth,” etc.), show that graphic design does not passively respond to the zeitgeist – it helps shape it. the calendar is based on the Green Patriot Posters book, published by metropolis books in association with the canary project and the environmental defense fund. the inspiration for the project first came from the wpa (works progress administration) and posters from the world war ii era, when transforming consumption habits and conserving became patriotic. the work in this collection is a rallying cry, a potent tool for communication and social transformation.

M aggie Oster Strongly influenced by Shinto and Buddhism, the Japanese style of landscaping is particularly conducive to restoring inner calm. Requiring an artful blend of imagination, skill and patience, the Japanese garden is an extension of the self. By adapting the harmonies of natural design to our own landscape, we heighten our understanding of the world around us and within us. The Gardens of the Spirit wall calendar features twelve exquisite images from garden photographer Allan Mandell. Paired with contemplative text by Maggie Oster, this collection of images brings the experience of Japanese gardening to all who long to create a peaceful oasis in the midst of a challenging world.

the art
of
richard shillinG
since the late 1960s, artists in the land art movement have been creating art in nature, composed primarily of the natural elements available at hand. materials such as rocks, leaves and water are the medium, and the terrain is the canvas. intentionally impermanent, these works are created and then left to change, erode and eventually be reclaimed by the elements. the new Land Art wall calendar presents the work of richard shilling, whose art reflects one of the movement’s many forms. shilling creates his sculptures with materials from the local environment, and then photographs the results in natural light – capturing a single moment in the life of the art. His work presents the rich variety that mother nature has to offer, examining the cycles of death, decay and rebirth while celebrating her endless beauty and infinite diversity.

as one of the most exciting art movements of our time, environmental art celebrates our connection to the natural world through beauty, science, metaphor and ecological restoration. it encompasses a surprising landscape of approaches, from ephemeral “art in nature” sculpture designed to last only a few hours before returning to the earth, to communitybased “eco-art” installations that clean up polluted watersheds and promote public understanding of local and global environmental issues. the projects featured in the Environmental Art wall calendar provide a sampling of some of the latest developments in this field to stimulate the imagination and promote the role of art in the creation of a more sustainable world culture.

Zen Cat
Paintings and Poetry by Nicholas Kirsten-Honshin The Zen Cat wall calendar is a meditation in art and words on the sacredness and interconnectedness of all life. Artist and author Nicholas Kirsten-Honshin uses painting and poetry to communicate a message from the pure heart of the universe. In Honshin’s own words, here is the story as it happened: “While I was quietly reading the Lotus Sutra, the Original Zen Cat, Miss Kitty, climbed onto my lap. As I continued to read, I became aware that her mind and mine were becoming one. She wanted me to read aloud to her. So I did. There she sat in meditation focused on the teachings as I read. Her appreciation and obvious understanding opened my own mind and heart to the oneness that exists, connecting all living beings in the gentle love and compassion that is in every precious moment.” Honshin’s art is also featured in the Thich Nhat Hanh wall calendar (page 35) and engagement calendar (page 53), and The Meditational Art of Nicholas Kirsten-Honshin greeting cards (pages 73-75).

Door
Crossing into the land of remembering your magical self requires only one thing: when Inspiration knocks, open the door. In 2004 Duirwaigh President Angi Sullins sat down to write a poem for the artists who inspire her. Setting the poem to music and paintings, the short film A Knock at the Door was born. Posted on the Internet in December of that year, it caused an international sensation and has since been seen by over a million viewers. Between these pages lies an invitation to follow your dreams through the door of possibility to an enchanted land half dreamed, half remembered and wholly adored. Angi Sullins is the founder of Duirwaigh, Inc., a multimedia entertainment group in Atlanta, Georgia. A Knock at the Door was her first film and is now a book published by Amber Lotus. Angi creates inspirational cards, books and films with her partner, Silas Toball. Duirwaigh greeting cards (pages 65-67) and the book A Knock at the Door (page 86) are also available.

Michael Green
it is an often overlooked fact that celtic art is iconic for two very different worldviews: primeval christianity and paganism/new age. celtic art and spirituality stand on an overlap between these two cultures and act as connecting links between them. both cultures can learn from their differences, ultimately supporting and nourishing the spiritual aspirations of each. michael green’s Celtic Blessings wall calendar is a masterful marriage of these two worlds. based on celtic themes and early irish christian illuminated manuscripts, green’s art reenvisions these genres into a stunning modern look that is firmly rooted in the past. at various times in his life, green has been a wandering monk, artist and craftsman, television art director, architect, illustrator and author. His books include The I Ching Journals, The Illuminated Rumi, The Illuminated Prayer and The Unicornis Manuscripts (page 86). Celtic Blessings greeting cards (page 80) are also available.

fractals are the visual depictions of mathematical equations – the same equations, in fact, that describe natural phenomena such as coastlines, plant shapes and weather patterns. a computer program assigns a color to each point in the image based on the answers to a chosen equation, which then results in abstract fractal shapes. dozens of variables are manipulated in order to create these fascinating images. the Fractal Cosmos wall calendar features the organic designs of alice kelley, who says, “fractals are an intuitive glimpse into the infinite order that composes the natural world, as well as being proof that math is beautiful.”

The tantalizing and compelling pursuit of mathematical problems offers mental absorption, peace of mind amid endless challenges, repose in activity, battle without conflict, refuge from the goading urgency of contingent happenings, and the sort of beauty changeless mountains present to senses tried by the present-day kaleidoscope of events. — Morris Kline

Tibet
Lhasa and Beyond • International Campaign for Tibet
Tibet, known for its beautiful landscapes, the Potala Palace and the highest mountain ranges on earth, is a living country full of bustling towns, villages, monasteries and nomadic areas at risk of suffocation and dissolution under Chinese government policies. Tibetans are on the precipice, balancing a determination to pursue their cultural and religious identity against Chinese pressures to assimilate and the onslaught of modernizing development. With each passing year, Tibet becomes more and more Chinese as govern ment development bulldozes over these communities. This calendar takes readers from town to town, offering them a chance to get to know these places and the Tibetans who call them home. Each month features a different hometown, highlighting the significance of the area and juxtaposing it with Tibetans’ political turmoil. We hope that this tour will encourage you to support the Tibetan people in their struggle to live freely as Tibetans in Tibet. 12" x 12" Wall Calendar $13.99 USD ISBN 978-1-60237-623-6 UPC 762109-06236-4

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
