2010-08-15T00:16:00.000-07:00

Book Summary

The institution of marriage is crumbling. Couples are finding it increasingly difficult to constructively handle the challenges it presents. They enter into marriage thinking it is a cakewalk and soon enough, get disillusioned. It requires some real thinking to understand what goes wrong and where.

When a marriage fails, everyone bears the brunt. It is not only the couple whose marriage has failed, but their families, the society and the world in general is at the receiving end of the bitter consequences. I feel that most problems in the world today are because of an unhappy marriage somewhere – Reason enough to write this book!

Happiness in marriage is not something you will get on a platter. You should be willing to work on your marriage and invest your time and effort in it to make it happy. The Happy Marriage helps you understand the meaning of marriage and gives practical tips on how to make it happy.

Don’t opt for a suboptimal marriage or a divorce. Work on your marriage. It is the most important relationship of your life, and if you get it right, it becomes the most rewarding too. Wishing you good luck and happiness in your marriage, Always!

Marriage is a formal union of two people by which they become husband and wife. This dictionary definition of marriage sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Almost everyone has been or will go through this experience sometime, so why make a big deal out of it?

But Marriage is big deal. Despite discouraging statistics, people continue to marry and remarry hoping to get it right one last time. This only goes to show that the institution of marriage is very much here to stay, may be as long as the human race itself. So why ignore it? Why wait for a marriage to fall apart and only then do something about it? Why not prevent the damage?

The Happy Marriage Manta is the need of the hour. It gives simple, practical and common sense tips for making a marriage happy. The chapters are concise and make easy reading. This book will help individuals who decide to undertake the journey of marriage to:

know the meaning of marriage
take responsibility for creating happiness in their marriage
prepare for marriage work
understand what should and shouldn't be done in marriage, so that it is happy
bust the myths and get real
be happy and happily married

Language and Truth in Buddhism

2010-08-14T10:14:00.000-07:00

The book entitled: ‘Language and Truth in Buddhism’ highlights the role and status of Language in Buddhist Philosophy, ethical dimension of Buddhism, various logical, epistemological and ontological problems as embedded in Buddhism, Post-modernism and Buddhism, inter-cultural aspects of Buddhism and also Buddhist Art. The volume, we believe, will open a vista to the future researchers in Buddhism, as it covers a wide range of Buddhist thought and literature enriched by the eminent scholars in this field.

Buddhist Psychology by Amal K. Barua

2010-08-13T10:15:00.000-07:00

Mind is a problematic concept; sundry attempts have already been made from different view points to clear up the problem. However, in this book an endeavour has been made to deal with the problem from Buddhist point of view. An attempt has been made not only to show how Mind functions, rather the task is undertaken to reveal what Mind is. Of course, Mind is not a material object, it is a stream of consciousness, a flow of thought and the body which rooms it is, according to Buddha, an aggregate of four great elements.

Mind and Mental Factors have been dealt with the materials available in the early Buddhist texts. Herein different planes of consciousness have been exposed and also explained. In this connection a variety of views about mind of different schools of Buddhist Philosophy have also been discussed.

Factors are the properties or qualities of Mind, they are also in a sense psychic-atoms; they are fifty two in all, an exposition of all the factors have neither been done in conformity with theravada tradition.

Also an endeavour has been made to provide the reader with a critical study of views held by both Buddhist and Western psychologists about mind and its factors. The way of consciousness in Buddhist Psychology is a journey from ethical maxims to psychological principles. Other way Buddhist Psychology is said to be a meeting point between ethics on the one hand and psychology on the other.
