Captured Passions

Captured Passions

Lois Batchelor Howard

iUniverse
2019

Can anyone ever truly capture someone else's passion? Lois Batchelor Howard has done just that. With keen insight, she vividly captures and expresses human emotions in her story of Gus, the kidnapper, and the two women he captures to be with him in his castle. Adrianna is an artist, Belle a musician. It is a postwar saga set in the 1940s Los Angeles and an island in Hawaii, a vital part of the story. There never is a dull moment. How it involves Auschwitz and becomes a love story of three different couples will steal your heart. Jack K. Paquette, whose books include A Boy's Journey Through the Great Depression, expresses that he has long been entranced by the piquant writings of Lois Batchelor Howard, finding them thought-stirring, often invigorating, and ever a delight to read. Ursula K. Le Guin, a prolific author, inferred in her Dancing at the Edge of the World that readers are vital. Reading, they bring the words to life and the story then lives.

In an awkward attempt to make friends, she is drawn to a group of ragtag local hippies. One of them, Sweet William, is even more bereft than Annie, and not by choice. The 1960s may have jump-started a cultural revolution, but for many people the old prejudices are slow to let go. Still, perhaps "all you really need is love ..."

The understanding of the nature of reality is the insight upon which the Buddha was able to achieve his own enlightenment. This vision of the sublime is the source of all that is enigmatic and paradoxical about Buddhism. In Verses from the Center, Stephen Batchelor explores the history of this concept and provides readers with translations of the most important poems ever written on the subject, the poems of 2nd century philosopher Nagarjuna.

In bestselling author and former monk Stephen Batchelor's seminal work on our greatest struggle-to become good-he traces the trajectory from the words of the Buddha and Christ, through the writings of Shantideva, Milton, and Pascal, to the poetry of Baudelaire, the fiction of Kafka, and the findings of modern physics and evolutionary biology-to examine who we really are, and to rest in the uncertainty that we may never know.

The Faith To Doubt

The Faith To Doubt

Stephen Batchelor

Counterpoint
2015
nidottu
Kierkegaard said that faith without doubt is simply credulity, the will to believe too readily, especially without adequate evidence, and that  in Doubt can Faith begin." All people involved in spiritual practice, of whatever persuasion, must confront doubt at one time or another, and find a way beyond it to belief, however temporary. But  faith is not equivalent to mere belief. Faith is the condition of ultimate confidence that we have the capacity to follow the path of doubt to its end. And courage."In this engaging spiritual memoir, Stephen Batchelor describes his own training, first as a Tibetan Buddhist and then as a Zen practitioner, and his own direct struggles along his path.  It is most uncanny that we are able to ask questions, for to question means to acknowledge that we do not know something. But it is more than an acknowledgement: it includes a yearning to confront an unknown and illuminate it through understanding. Questioning is a quest."Batchelor is a contemporary Buddhist teacher and writer, best known for his secular or agnostic approach to Buddhism. He considers Buddhism to be a constantly evolving culture of awakening rather than a religious system based on immutable dogmas and beliefs. Buddhism has survived for the past 2,500 years because of its capacity to reinvent itself in accord with the needs of the different Asian societies with which it has creatively interacted throughout its history. As Buddhism encounters modernity, it enters a vital new phase of its development. Through his writings, translations and teaching, Stephen engages in a critical exploration of Buddhism's role in the modern world, which has earned him both condemnation as a heretic and praise as a reformer.
