Not About Being Good A Practical Guide to Buddhist Ethics Subhadramati Buddhist ethics are not about ‘being good’ in order to gain rewards. Instead, living ethically springs from the awareness that other people are no different from yourself. You can actively develop this awareness, through cultivating love, clarity and contentment. Helping you to come into greater harmony with all that lives, this is ultimately your guidebook to a more satisfactory life.

Eight Step Recovery Using the Buddha’s Teachings to Overcome Addiction Valerie Mason-John and Dr Paramabandhu Groves What can the Buddha’s teachings offer us in our recovery from addiction? They offer tools for helping a mind vulnerable to addiction, and ways to overcome addictive behaviour, cultivating calm and clarity without anger and resentments. Whether you are struggling to stay off heroin or with obsessive thinking, the Eight Steps help you discover a fulfilling way of living.

Perspectives on Satipaṭṭhāna Anālayo Anālayo presents a wide-ranging exploration of what mindfulness meant in early Buddhism. Informed by his outstanding scholarship, depth of understanding and experience as a practitioner, this book sheds fresh light on material that is central to our understanding of Buddhist practice, bringing us as close as we can come to the mindfulness teachings of the Buddha himself.
