It is in this spirit then that, after publishing ten works that are largely translations of Buddhist texts, I present here a personalized account of central Buddhist practices.' Hopkins has the ability to clarify complicated ideas, to bring them to life, and this he does admirably here. He cuts through the theories of Buddhism and brings them vividly into the realm of experience. He explains emptiness, the function of the guru, meditation, the cherishing of others and the Bodhisattva ideal. He unravels the complex differences between the Hinayana and Mahayana, and between the various schools of thought within the Mahayana. He reconciles conventional and ultimate reality; shows how the mind is addicted to the lies that the senses tell it, and describes the process of cutting through this craziness called cyclic existence. Enlightenment is demystified and shown to be a possibility for each individual. The entire Buddhist path is laid out as a living experience all in the context of the final path being the tantric one: the most skilful and expedient way of utilizing one's experiences to penetrate through to the nature of reality and to cut, once and for all, the very root of one's suffering. Anyone wanting to understand the Mahayana Buddhist path couldn't wish for a better book." Cover: Painting of Vajrasattva by Robert Beer.…

Restored to her ancient status as Supreme Being, the Goddess is today a potent figurehead for feminists, Paganists, and environmentalists, as well as for countless others concerned about finding a more harmonious way to live in the modern world. This book is a fascinating exploration of Goddess worship in different cultures, from the Paleolithic period to the present day. Beginning with an examination of ancient Goddess worship in the light of the discoveries of the last two centuries, the text moves on to explore the Goddess's role in the fertility of the earth and humankind, and her sexual function in relation to the preservation of the cosmos. The final chapter gives an up~to~date account of contemporary movements and discusses the tremendous resurgence of interest in Goddess worship in the modern age. Illustrated with superb pictures from around the world, this book provides a rich and stimulating context for understanding the mysterious figure of the Goddess.…
