New Releases Mind in Harmony The Psychology of Buddhist Ethics Subhuti Long before the discoveries of contemporary neuroscience and psychology, the Buddha gained insight into the nature of mind. In early Buddhism this insight informed the Abhidharma – a ‘training manual’ to help us understand and transform our own minds. Subhuti brings this manual to life.

The Buddha on Wall Street What’s Wrong with Capitalism and What We Can Do about It Vad.d.haka Linn The economic resources now exist to offer a realistic possibility of providing everyone with decent food, shelter, work and leisure, to allow each of us to fulfil our potential as human beings, while protecting the environment. What is it in the nature of modern capitalism which prevents that happening? Vaḍḍhaka Linn explores answers to these questions by examining our economic world from the moral standpoint established by the Buddha.

Compassion and Emptiness in Early Buddhist Meditation Anālayo Exploring the meditative practices of compassion and emptiness, Anālayo casts fresh light on their earliest sources in the Buddhist tradition. He brings a new dimension to our understanding by comparing the Pali texts with versions that have survived in Chinese, Sanskrit and Tibetan.

The Journey and the Guide A Practical Course in Enlightenment Maitreyabandhu Maitreyabandhu, a prize-winning poet and author of the best-selling Life with Full Attention, describes what it means to set out on the Buddha’s journey and how you can follow it – day by day and week-by-week.
