Title: The Spiritual Masters: Our Guides and Protectors Author: Martin K Ettington Narrator: Martin K Ettington Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 16 minutes Release date: May 5, 2024 Genres: World Religions Publisher's Summary: I was in an airport on Dec 23rd 2023. Sitting in the waiting lounge I kind of zoned out for a while just becoming a part of the ebb and flow of the people around me. All of a sudden this voice coming from me said to me “WE ARE WATCHING OUT FOR AND TAKING CARE OF EVERYONE HERE. THIS IS WHAT WE DO.” The words weren’t really words. It was more of a strong telepathy but this is the essence of what was said. This experience and my other experiences plus much research has led me to write this book on Spiritual Masters, what they do, and how they help humanity. There have been a number of writers over the past centuries who have enlightened us on this topic and so I included many of those perspectives because what they say has a lot in common. Many Spiritual Masters are immortals too and we deal with this issue here also.

Title: Magic & Mystery in Tibet: The Classic Account of a Woman's Extraordinary Journey to Tibet Author: Alexandra David-Neel Narrator: Nicolette Mckenzie Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 6 minutes Release date: August 9, 2016 Genres: World Religions Publisher's Summary: This classic memoir by the remarkable French explorer and Buddhist Alexandra David-Néel is the one of the greatest Buddhist travelogues of the 20th century. She was the first European woman to meet the Dalai Lama (in the 1920s) and in 1924 became the first to enter the forbidden Tibetan capital, Lhasa. She had already spent a decade travelling through China and Sikkim, India; lived and meditated in a cave on the Tibetan border; and everywhere learned about Buddhism from hermits, mystics and bandits. She recalled, 'In the course of my travels, I witnessed unusual events, met strange people and brushed the threshold of a particular spirituality'. In Magic and Mystery in Tibet, Mme David-Néel recorded the mysterious, magical world she encountered. Among the extraordinary practices she described are the Tibetan mystics who could live naked in temperatures below freezing (tumo), monks who covered incredible distances on foot in strange leaps (lung-gom) and others who could seemingly defy gravity. These practices became part of the legends of Tibetan Buddhism, as it became better known in the West - but they were first reported, from firsthand experience, by Mme David-Néel. Her writings proved a great influence on figures such as Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg and Alan Watts. What makes this audiobook a classic is that she was not just an observer or a travel writer but a meditator and practitioner, respected by the lamas and monks she met. Her descriptions of Tibetan Buddhism, though dating from a century ago, ring true now, even with our greater contemporary awareness and understanding. Despite her decades of life travelling, often in great hardship, across the Far East and Central Asia, she lived until the age of 101, dying in her home country of France.

Title: Sadhana Author: Rabindranath Tagore Narrator: Clay Lomakayu Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 13 minutes Release date: January 26, 2024 Genres: World Religions Publisher's Summary: Rabindranath Tagore explores some of the most found question of life as he reveals the meaning of spiritual practice. 'The man who has his spiritual eyes open knows that the ultimate truth about earth and water lies in the apprehension of the eternal will which works in time and takes shape in the forces we realize under those aspects. This is not mere knowledge, as science is, but it is a perception of the soul by the soul. This does not lead us to power, as knowledge does, but it gives us joy, which is the product of kindred things. The man whose acquaintance with the world does not lead deeper than science leads him, will never understand what it is that the man with the spiritual vision finds in these natural phenomena. The water does not merely cleanse his limbs, but it purifies his heart; for it touches his soul. The earth does not merely hold his body, but it gladdens his mind; for its contact is more than a physical contact, -it is a living presence.”

Title: You Are The Waking Buddha Author: Sripad Jagannatha Das Narrator: Sripad Jagannatha Das, Raj Rass Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 38 minutes Release date: January 28, 2024 Genres: World Religions Publisher's Summary: The concept of the 'Waking Buddha' is a profound and transformative idea deeply rooted in Zen Buddhism. It encapsulates the essence of Zen practice, where awakening to one's true nature is not relegated to some far-off spiritual attainment but is a lived reality, an ever-present possibility. In this essay, we will explore the notion of the Waking Buddha, what it means, and how it pertains to our daily lives. The Waking Buddha represents the idea that enlightenment is not an abstract, unattainable goal but an immediate, tangible experience available to each one of us. It is not something to be achieved in a distant future but a realization that can happen here and now. The essence of this concept is mindfulness—being fully present in the current moment, aware of our thoughts, emotions, and surroundings. When we cultivate this awareness, we awaken the Buddha nature that resides within us. Zen teachings emphasize the importance of direct experience over intellectual understanding. The Waking Buddha is about transcending the limitations of the thinking mind and experiencing reality directly. It involves letting go of attachments, judgments, and preconceived notions, allowing the true self to shine forth. This awakening is not reserved for a select few but is a birthright of every sentient being, waiting to be uncovered through diligent practice. The path to becoming the Waking Buddha is not without its challenges. It demands commitment, patience, and a willingness to confront our own inner turmoil. Zen practitioners engage in meditation, mindfulness, and koan practice to break free from the confines of the ego and awaken to their true nature. Koans are paradoxical questions or statements used in Zen practice to provoke deep insight. They challenge the thinking mind, pushing it beyond its logical boundaries and into a realm of direct experience.
