BUDDHIST ANIMAL WISDOM STORIES by Mark W. McGinnis 8.75" x 11.25," 112 pp., hard cover. #BUANWI - $ 19.95 Around the beginning of the common era, Indian Buddhists began to collect fables illuminating various human virtues and foibles--from kindness, cooperation, loyalty and self-discipline on the one hand to greed, pride, foolishness, and treachery on the other. Instead of populating these stories with people, they cast the animals of their immediate environment in the leading roles--which may have given the tales a universal appeal that helped them travel around the world, surfacing in the Middle East as Aesop's fables and in various other guises throughout East and Southeast Asia, Africa, Russia, and Europe.

CALLING TO THE LAMA FROM AFAR by Khenchen Konchog Gyaltshen Rinpoche 125 pp., color plate. #CALAAF - $ 14.95 Especially in the Kagyu tradition of Mahamudra, devotion is the key to success on the path of higher teachings. One's lama is venerated as the holder of these teachings and, because of his or her accomplishments in meditation practice, is recognized as the embodiment of their truth.
