Buddhism Explained by Laurence-Khantipalo Mills
 One of the first things to be said about this book is that it is eminently readable. It should make a powerful appeal to two kinds of persons. First, those largely ignorant of Buddhism who are sincerely eager to repair that ignorance will find it exactly what they need. Second, a good many people with a fairly extensive knowledge of Buddhism would be happy to have it on their bookshelves because it provides a complete summary of all the essentials of Buddhist teachings and practice. Do you, for example, want to know something about meditation methods, the daily life of Buddhist monks, the meaning of Nirvana? These are all dealt with in this one compact volume. |

Sacred Rocks & Buddhist Caves in Thailand by Christophe Munier
This is the first comprehensive study in English on a fascinating but little-known aspect of Thai Buddhism and culture. Rocks and caves are major places of pilgrimage in Thailand and this book places these natural holy sites in their historical, cultural and religious context. Rocks are sacred because of their shapes, the Buddhas carved on them or their links to the Buddha's coming. Animist activities involving rocks started in prehistoric times and continue to this day. The earliest rocks integrated into a religious context belong to the beginning of the Dvaravati period (6th-8th centuries) that saw the birth and spread of Theravada Buddhism in what is today Thailand. Caves have also been used as ritual places since prehistoric times and were inhabited by hermits and Buddhist monks during the Dvaravati, Sukhothai, Ayutthaya and Bangkok periods. They are adorned with mural paintings, stucco reliefs and statues. |

Know Not a Thing by K. Khemananda
Know Not a Thing - Insights into Dynamic Meditation by K. Khemananda This treatise provides insights and guidance into the practice of dynamic meditation, which derives from the saying of the Buddha: " Whenever you see things, just see. Whenever you listen, just listen. Whenever you know, just know." The essence of dynamic meditation is the awareness of things on the basis of bodily movement, without focussing the mind on any object. One may come to realize the essence of the mind by being aware of thought processes. The book explains the difference between static and dynamic meditation, and also traces the author's own search for true awareness. |

Phra Farang by Phra Peter Pannapadipo
An English Monk in Thailand An English Buddhist monk describes his experiences in an unfamiliar culture in a lively and gripping style. His treatment of Dhamma is easy to understand, his soul-searching moments touching and thought-provoking. But above all it is the author's remarkable sense of humour that sets this book apart from most others on similar subject. |
