How's Your Soul?: Why Everything that Matters Starts with the Inside You
by Judah SmithJudah Smith, New York Times bestselling author of Jesus Is ______, explores what it looks like to cultivate a healthy soul in the midst of a busy life and points readers to the soul's only true home and place of rest and fulfillment: God. "How's your soul?" It may seem like an odd question, but it's what pastor and bestselling author Judah Smith chooses to ask his friends, rather than "How are you?" It's a way to look past the externals and consider what's going on inside, in that essential part of us that is often overlooked in the struggle to make our way through everyday life. In the rush of living moment to moment, many of us find ourselves simply surviving, struggling daily with frustration, restlessness, boredom, and ever-fleeting joy. But if we would pause, we'd find that the things that matter most in life, what we are searching for in our busyness--stability, peace, hope, love--are rooted in the health of what Judah calls the "inside you." In How's Your Soul?, Judah explores that "inside you." Sharing his own, often humorous, mistakes and foibles, he helps us find our way through the emotional roller coasters of life to discover the soul-healing essentials of rest, responsibility, restraint, and relationships, all rooted in what he calls the soul's only true home--God himself. How's Your Soul? is an invitation to find lasting emotional satisfaction and stability by bringing our feelings into alignment with God's truth, moving beyond simply surviving, and learning how to live each day with eternal significance.

But when we pause, we find the things that matter most in life are rooted in the health of the soul.

hThe Poetry of Thought in Late Antiquity: Essays in Imagination and Religion (Routledge Revivals)
by Patricia Cox MillerThis title was first published in 2001. These collected essays by Patricia Cox Miller identify new possibilities of meaning in the study of religion in late antiquity. The book addresses the topic of the imaginative mindset of late ancient authors from a variety of Greco-Roman religious traditions. Attending to the play of language, as well as to the late ancient sensitivity to image, metaphor, and paradox, Cox Miller's work highlights the poetizing sensibility that marked many of the texts of this period and draws on methods of interpretation from a variety of contemporary literary-critical theories. This book will appeal to scholars of late antiquity, religious literature, and literary critical theory more widely, illustrating how fruitful dialogue across the centuries can be - not only in eliciting aspects of late ancient texts that have gone unnoticed but also in showing that many 'modern' ideas, such as Roland Barthes', were actually already alive and well in ancient texts.
Hsin Hsin Ming
by Osho International Foundation OshoUnderstanding our minds and consciousness are topics high on everybody's list of important issues. Science and psychology are delivering every day captivating news of understanding in this area. In this extraordinary series of talks, Osho lays out a clear understanding of the difference between mind and consciousness, and the role that the brain plays in the two - a difference that Western science has been struggling to define for decades, but that Zen has known for centuries through first-hand experience. Along the way he also sheds light on the differences between meditation as practice and as a state of being, and what choiceless awareness really means in everyday life and relating.Osho relates to a classic Zen work, Hsin Hsin Ming, Verses on the Faith-Mind by Sosan [Seng-t'san] which is considered to be the first Chinese Zen document. It is extraordinarily straightforward in its message, cutting straight to the point of where it aims to take the Zen experience - to a state of thought-free awareness in the present moment.
Hu Kon Chhu?: હું કોણ છુ?
by Dada Bhagwanજિંદગી માત્ર જીવતા રહેવાથી કંઇક વિશેષ છે. જિંદગીમાં જીવતા રહેવાથી વિશેષ કંઇક હોવું જ જોઈએ. જિંદગીનો કોઈક ઉચ્ચ હેતુ હોવો જ જોઈએ. જિંદગીનો હેતુ “ હું કોણ છું ? “ ના ખરા જવાબ સુધી પહોંચવાનો છે. અનંત જન્મોનો આ વણઉકેલ્યો પ્રશ્ન છે. “ હું કોણ છું ?“ ની શોધની ખૂટતી કડીઓ હવે જ્ઞાની પુરુષની વાણી દ્વારા શબ્દોથી મળે છે. આ શબ્દોનું (વાણીનું) સંકલન સમજણના હેતુ માટે કરવામાં આવ્યું છે. હું કોણ છું? હું શું નથી? પોતે કોણ છે? મારું શું છે? શું મારું નથી? બંધન શું છે? મોક્ષ (મુક્તિ) શું છે? ભગવાન છે? ભગવાન શું છે? જગતમાં કર્તા કોણ છે? ભગવાન કર્તા છે કે નહિ? ભગવાન નું ખરું સ્વરૂપ શું છે? આ જગતમાં કર્તાનું ખરું સ્વરૂપ શું છે? જગત કોણ ચલાવે છે? કેવી રીતે ચાલે છે? ભ્રાંતિ નું ખરું સ્વરૂપ શું છે? જે કંઈ પણ પોતે જાણે છે તે સત્ય છે કે ભ્રમ છે? પોતાના જાણેલા જ્ઞાનથી પોતે મુક્ત થશે કે બંધાયેલો રહેશે? આ સવાલોની પાછળના સત્યની આ પુસ્તક સચોટ સમજણ આપે છે.
Hua So Nyay: हुआ सो न्याय
by Dada Bhagwanकुदरत के न्याय को यदि इस तरह समझोगे की “हुआ सो न्याय” तो आप इस संसार से मुक्त हो जाओगे। लोग जीवन में न्याय और मुक्ति एक साथ ढूँढते हैं। यहाँ पूर्ण विरोधाभास की स्थिति है। ये दोनों आपको एक साथ मिल ही नहीं सकते। प्रश्नों का अंत आने पर ही मुक्ति की शुरूआत होती है। अक्रम विज्ञान में सभी प्रश्नों का अंत आ जाता है, इसलिए यह बहुत ही सरल मार्ग है। दादाश्री की यह अनमोल खोज है की कुदरत कभी अन्यायी हुई ही नहीं है। जगत् न्याय स्वरूप ही है। जो हुआ सो न्याय ही है। कुदरत कोई व्यक्ति या भगवान नहीं है कि उस पर किसी का जोर चल सके। कुदरत यानि साईन्टिफिक सरकमस्टेन्शियल एवीडेन्स। कितने सारे संयोग इकट्ठे हों, तब कार्य होता है। दादाश्री के इस संकलन में, हुआ सो न्याय का विज्ञान प्रस्तुत किया गया है। इस सूत्र का जितना उपयोग जीवन में होगा, उतनी ही शांति बढेगी।
Hua-yen Buddhism: The Jewel Net Of Indra
by Francis H. CookHua-yen is regarded as the highest form of Buddhism by most modern Japanese and Chinese scholars. This book is a description and analysis of the Chinese form of Buddhism called Hua-yen (or Hwa-yea), Flower Ornament, based largely on one of the more systematic treatises of its third patriarch. Hua-yen Buddhism strongly resembles Whitehead's process philosophy, and has strong implications for modern philosophy and religion. Hua-yen Buddhism explores the philosophical system of Hua-yen in greater detail than does Garma C.C. Chang's The Buddhist Teaching of Totality (Penn State, 1971). An additional value is the development of the questions of ethics and history. Thus, Professor Cook presents a valuable sequel to Professor Chang's pioneering work. The Flower Ornament School was developed in China in the late 7th and early 8th centuries as an innovative interpretation of Indian Buddhist doctrines in the light of indigenous Chinese presuppositions, chiefly Taoist. Hua-yen is a cosmic ecology, which views all existence as an organic unity, so it has an obvious appeal to the modern individual, both students and layman.
The Huainanzi: A Guide to the Theory and Practice of Government in Early Han China
by Sarah A. Queen Andrew Seth Meyer Harold D. Roth John S. Major An LiuCompiled by scholars at the court of Liu An, king of Huainan, in the second century B.C.E, The Huainanzi is a tightly organized, sophisticated articulation of Western Han philosophy and statecraft. Outlining "all that a modern monarch needs to know," the text emphasizes rigorous self-cultivation and mental discipline, brilliantly synthesizing for readers past and present the full spectrum of early Chinese thought. The Huainanzi locates the key to successful rule in a balance of broad knowledge, diligent application, and the penetrating wisdom of a sage. It is a unique and creative synthesis of Daoist classics, such as the Laozi and the Zhuangzi; works associated with the Confucian tradition, such as the Changes, the Odes, and the Documents; and a wide range of other foundational philosophical and literary texts from the Mozi to the Hanfeizi. The product of twelve years of scholarship, this remarkable translation preserves The Huainanzi's special rhetorical features, such as parallel prose and verse, and showcases a compositional technique that conveys the work's powerful philosophical appeal. This path-breaking volume will have a transformative impact on the field of early Chinese intellectual history and will be of great interest to scholars and students alike.
The Huarochirí Manuscript: A Testament of Ancient and Colonical Andean Religion
by Frank Salomon George L. UriosteOne of the great repositories of a people's world view and religious beliefs, the Huarochirí Manuscript may bear comparison with such civilization-defining works as Gilgamesh, the Popul Vuh, and the Sagas. This translation by Frank Salomon and George L. Urioste marks the first time the Huarochirí Manuscript has been translated into English, making it available to English-speaking students of Andean culture and world mythology and religions. The Huarochirí Manuscript holds a summation of native Andean religious tradition and an image of the superhuman and human world as imagined around A.D. 1600. The tellers were provincial Indians dwelling on the west Andean slopes near Lima, Peru, aware of the Incas but rooted in peasant, rather than imperial, culture. The manuscript is thought to have been compiled at the behest of Father Francisco de Avila, the notorious "extirpator of idolatries." Yet it expresses Andean religious ideas largely from within Andean categories of thought, making it an unparalleled source for the prehispanic and early colonial myths, ritual practices, and historic self-image of the native Andeans.
The Huayan University Network: The Teaching and Practice of Avataṃsaka Buddhism in Twentieth-Century China (The Sheng Yen Series in Chinese Buddhist Studies)
by Erik J. HammerstromIn the early twentieth century, Chinese Buddhists sought to strengthen their tradition through publications, institution building, and initiatives aimed at raising the educational level of the monastic community. In The Huayan University Network, Erik J. Hammerstrom examines how Huayan Buddhism was imagined, taught, and practiced during this time of profound political and social change and, in so doing, recasts the history of twentieth-century Chinese Buddhism.Hammerstrom traces the influence of Huayan University, the first Buddhist monastic school founded after the fall of the imperial system in China. Although the university lasted only a few years, its graduates went on to establish a number of Huayan-centered educational programs throughout China. While they did not create a new sectarian Huayan movement, they did form a network unified by a common educational heritage that persists to the present day. Drawing on an extensive range of Buddhist texts and periodicals, Hammerstrom shows that Huayan had a significant impact on Chinese Buddhist thought and practice and that the history of Huayan complicates narratives of twentieth-century Buddhist modernization and revival. Offering a wide range of insights into the teaching and practice of Huayan in Republican China, this book sheds new light on an essential but often overlooked element of the East Asian Buddhist tradition.

Now Huckleberry Hill just might turn out to be the most romantic spot in Wisconsin. . .Lia Shetler is resigned to being a spinster.
