Based upon the teachings of the Buddha Gotama contained in the Pali Canon, here is presented an easy to understand, illustrated and diagramed introduction to Buddhist logic - complemented by advanced explanations of the concepts introduced for further study. Critical excerpts from the Pali Canon are presented in conversational English to provide practical guidance on the path of practice in daily life.

This easy to read, English language book was developed to accompany a class series of the same title. However, it has broader applicability, and is useful even to those who were unable to attend, not only for study and practice, but as a model for others to provide similar instruction. With the intent to permit students to improve personal and professional practice, students are prepared for advanced practice: beginning with introductory background information, skills and conceptual orientation, intermediate classes in training build a foundation of competent practice suitable for advanced classes. This book presents supporting course material in chronological order, together with other helpful information.

Fear is no laughing matter - it can become disabling because of the anxiety and superstition it produces. Not least of all is the fear of bad luck. But what is unlucky to some is lucky to others. Gary Green explores the reasons for why the number 13 means different things to different people - and the reasons for your own sense of luck and fear. Understanding that we very often create our own luck - and our own fears - is a good beginning to helping ourselves, and others.
