Santa Ratna Shakya and Shree Krishna Shahi from Nepal are undoubtedly the pioneers in developing the traditional Nepali Singing Bowl sound healing and therapy methods, and popularising it globally. For over 30 years they have travelled around the world giving sound healing sessions, training students, collaborating with alternative therapy professionals, and performing Singing Bowl concerts with special sets of bowls collected from the Newari culture of the Kathmandu valley, rural Nepali villages, and from various trans-Himalayan regions across the south and south-east Asia.The book documents two things - a brief cultural history of the Singing Bowl with reference to the metal casting tradition in Nepal as seen through a native's perspective. Secondly, as the subtitle of the book suggests, it outlines the Basic Level Practical Guide to Singing Bowl Therapy method developed over the past three decades by the Nepali Singing Bowl Sound Therapy masters, Santa Ratna Shakya and Shree Krishna Shahi.

Some twenty-five centuries after the Buddha started teaching, his message continues to inspire people across the globe, including those living in predominantly secular societies. What does it mean to adapt religious practices to secular contexts? Stephen Batchelor, an internationally known author and teacher, is committed to a secularized version of the Buddha’s teachings. The time has come, he feels, to articulate a coherent ethical, contemplative, and philosophical vision of Buddhism for our age. After Buddhism, the culmination of four decades of study and practice in the Tibetan, Zen, and Theravada traditions, is his attempt to set the record straight about who the Buddha was and what he was trying to teach. Combining critical readings of the earliest canonical texts with narrative accounts of five members of the Buddha’s inner circle, Batchelor depicts the Buddha as a pragmatic ethicist rather than a dogmatic metaphysician. He envisions Buddhism as a constantly evolving culture of awakening whose long survival is due to its capacity to reinvent itself and interact creatively with each society it encounters. This original and provocative book presents a new framework for understanding the remarkable spread of Buddhism in today’s globalized world. It also reminds us of what was so startling about the Buddha’s vision of human flourishing.

Dena was a busy midwife trapped on the hamster wheel of working motherhood. Adam was an eccentric Buddhist yogi passing as a hard-working dad. Bella was fourteen and wanted to be normal. Sophia was up for anything that involved skipping school. Together, they shouldered backpacks, walked away from their California life of all-night births, carpool schedules, and Cal Skate, and criss-crossed India and Nepal for eight months—a journey that led them to His Holiness the Dalai Lama, the tree where the Buddha sat, and the arms of Amma the Divine Mother. From the banks of the Ganges to the Himalayan roof of the world, this enthralling memoir is an unforgettable odyssey, a moving meditation on modern family life, and a spiritual quest, written with humor and honesty—and filled with love and awe.
