Pay Attentionfor Goodness’ Sake is the first book ever to guide Western readerson the path of the Buddha’s Ten Paramitas, the Perfections of theHeart. Boorstein combines traditional Buddhist teachings andparables with stories from her own life, as well as easy-to-followmeditations, to show how the practice of Mindfulness—payingattention in everyday life—can lead to these perfections that allof us strive for, including Generosity, Morality, Wisdom, Energy,Patience, Determination, and Equanimity.

撰写本书的目的,是向学生们介绍当今人格研究领域的状况,同时向他们展示人格心理学家在尝试理解人时所感受到的兴奋和面临的挑战。人是复杂的。没有两个相同的人。我们该怎样在系统表达适合于所有人的普遍规律的同时去把握这种复杂和多样性呢?这是人格心理学家面临挑战的本质。本书所介绍的研究代表了我个人对于我们当前接受这一挑战的看法并全也是这本教科书的重点。同时,我力求以相关的研究来讨论该领域中流行的一些重要理论,使学生熟悉它们。在适时表达我个人的观点以及对这些尝试作出评价时,我也力求公正地介绍不同的取向。最后,虽然本书着重介绍那些将自己认同为人格心理学家的学者的工作,但同时也概括被认为是社会心理学家、发展心理学家或行为遗传学家的学者的许多研究。本书是向学生们介绍当今人格研究领域的状况,同时
《以法为礼》是近代最有影响力的南传佛教大师,泰国公认的阿罗汉成就者阿姜查·须跋多(1918-1992年)有关“法”以及相关内容的教导。阿姜查大师年轻时研究过基础佛法、戒律,以及经典,后随当地禅定大师修习。他依苦行僧的传统方式生活达数年,曾和本世纪伟大的禅师阿姜曼度过一段开悟性的时光。他的教导方式简明,含义却深远。他善于用日常周遭事物引出佛法实意,令弟子们开解,也因此吸引了不少西方人从他受教。书名《以法为礼》是阿姜查某一次开示的主题。在这篇教导和其他篇章中,阿姜查大师强调了随时保持“正念”和清明、训练心理对修行的重要性,他也教导人们禅修时保持“空心”和专注呼吸的方法。

Salonica, located in northern Greece, was long a fascinatingcrossroads metropolis of different religions and ethnicities, whereEgyptian merchants, Spanish Jews, Orthodox Greeks, Sufi dervishes,and Albanian brigands all rubbed shoulders.

Early one morning, for no earthly reason, Sara Miles, raisedan atheist, wandered into a church, received communion, and foundherself transformed–embracing a faith she’d once scorned. A lesbianleft-wing journalist who’d covered revolutions around the world,Miles didn’t discover a religion that was about angels or goodbehavior or piety; her faith centered on real hunger, real food,and real bodies. Before long, she turned the bread she ate atcommunion into tons of groceries, piled on the church’s altar to begiven away. Within a few years, she and the people she served hadstarted nearly a dozen food pantries in the poorest parts of theircity. Take This Bread is rich with real-lifeDickensian characters–church ladies, millionaires, schizophrenics,bishops, and thieves–all blown into Miles’s life by the relentlessforce of her newfound calling. Here, in this achingly beautiful,passionate book, is the living communion of Christ. “The most amazing book.” –Anne Lamott “Engaging, funny, and
