Buddhism for Mothers: A Calm Approach to Caring for Yourself and Your Children by Sarah Napthali
Buddhist practitioner Napthali has written an eminently practical book
that gives frazzled mothers usable advice and empathy. At a time in
their lives when women must balance the pulls of instinct, hormonally
charged emotion and familial and social expectations, it is both
possible and highly beneficial to practice Buddhism. While Buddhism has
a long history of monastic practice and application, its modern
expansion into the West has emphasized its relevance to householders.
Parenting books are a logical application, though still relatively few
in number (e.g. Jacqueline Kramer's Buddha Mom: The Path of Mindful
Mothering). In a highly selective culling of teachings, Napthali wisely
focuses on maternal mind states and how Buddhism can give a mother
insight and literal breathing space before she responds to any
parenting situation. The essential Buddhist teaching that all things
are impermanent is highly relevant when responding to, for example, a
toddler throwing a tantrum in public. The book is perhaps less deep
than those written by longtime teachers, as so many Buddhist books are.
But precisely because she is not a teacher and is in the midst of
mothering, Napthali offers the approachable and authentic perspective
of a rank-and-file practitioner who lives the techniques and situations
she writes about. This book will be most useful for mothers of young
children, providing them spiritual resources at a life stage when women
need all the help they can get.

heart—from one of the most remarkable and brilliant teachers of modern
times.”—Jack Kornfield

teachings presented in this book are transformational—and especially

confidence, and joy under any circumstances. I strongly recommend this
book to all those seeking awakening and freedom.”—Pema Chödrön

is no one better than Chögyam Trungpa to show us how to be fearless. He

of a Shambhala warrior, which shine through brilliantly in this
book.”—Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche

it is stated many times that the road to compassionate enlightenment
and change is sitting meditation. These gentle reminders are always
welcome because it is so easy to go to sleep and forget what is
useful.”—

Tantric Quest: An Encounter with Absolute Love by Daniel Odier
"An eye-opening intro to a powerful, much misunderstood tradition."
(
Natural Living
)
"Daniel
Odier's story is the stuff of dreams for the spiritual seeker. Until
this book, we have had few (if any) modern first-person accounts of a
Westerner's initiation into tantrism.
Tantric Quest fulfills
our longing to understand this mysterious method and does so admirably,
describing a path where sensual delight is married with full attention
to re-create our birthright of life in the garden of the Goddess."
