The Life and Teachings of Confucius

The Life and Teachings of Confucius – James Legge

This edition is a general account of the Chinese classics and contains a Life of Confucius, the ‘ Analects ‘ which describe his opinions, the translation of two standard works of the Confucian school, called ‘The Great Learning,’ and ‘The Doctrine of the Mean,’ written by his celebrated grandson. We commend the work most heartily to those who value such studies, as conveying to them, in a small compass and on the highest authority, a clear view of the position and opinions of the great sage who, for two thousand years, has ruled the literary world of China.

The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola

The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola – Ignatius of Loyola

The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, (composed from 1522-1524) are a set of Christian meditations, prayers and mental exercises, divided into four thematic ‘weeks’ of variable length, designed to be carried out over a period of 28 to 30 days. They were composed with the intention of helping the retreatant to discern Jesus in his life, leading then to a personal commitment to follow him. Though the underlying spiritual outlook is Catholic, the exercises are often made nowadays by non-Catholics. The ‘Spiritual Exercises’ booklet was formally approved in 1548 by Paul III.

The Book Of Enoch The Prophet

The Book Of Enoch The Prophet – Richard Laurence

In the Authorized Version of the Epistle of Jude, we read the following words:–

“Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands, of his saints, to execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”

Modern research sees in the Epistle of Jude a work of the second century: but as orthodox theologians accept its contents as the inspired utterance of an Apostle, let us diligently search the Hebrew Scriptures for this important forecast of … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

Bhakti Yoga

Bhakti Yoga – Swami Vivekananda

Bhakti-Yoga is a real, genuine search after the Lord, a search beginning, continuing, and ending in love. One single moment of the madness of extreme love to God brings us eternal freedom. This love cannot be reduced to any earthly benefit, because so long as worldly desires last, that kind of love does not come. Bhakti is greater than karma, greater than Yoga, because these are intended for an object in view, while Bhakti is its own fruition, its own means and its own end.

This edition includes the Swami’s ten lectures on Bhakti Yoga, plus ten more on the Supreme Devotion called Para-Bhakti.
