Salir de esa trampa es, inmediatamente y por el propio y recto esfuerzo, un camino sencillo y práctico. Erróneamente, nos hicieron creer que el universo está dividido en dos, en pares con extremos por los que hay que tomar partido (apegarse) o no tomar partido (rechazar). Esta visión ha generado un modo que nos lleva a sufrir. Y ese modo es la dualidad, otra de las creaciones de nuestra mente condicionada, un enorme y muy omnipresente tóxico mental que influye en nuestra vida y en la relación con los otros y con nosotros mismos. Salir de esa trampa es, inmediatamente y por el propio y recto esfuerzo, un camino sencillo y práctico. En su nuevo libro, Jorge Rovner, médico y psicoterapeuta, nos acerca herramientas basadas en los principios budistas para que podamos deshacernos de esa falsa creencia sobre la dualidad. Se trata de una contribución optimista y entusiasta para la vida de las personas. Intentar lo que aquí se propone para ayudar a calmar el dolor, pesar y malestar de nosotros y de quienes nos rodean. Aquí, ahora y así.

by Elias AxmarEste libro ofrece un breve panorama sobre el budismo. Al igual que muchos relatos heroicos, la historia de esta religión comienza con la búsqueda de un hombre. Siddhartha Gautama no era un hombre corriente. Él fue un príncipe que abandonó sus riquezas y una vida de comodidades para poder atravesar el velo de lo corporal, mental y espiritual. Con su confianza intrépida y profunda compasión hacia los demás, logró lo que pocos antes que él habían conocido. Rompió las cadenas de la moralidad agitada y encontró la tranquila dicha de la inmortalidad. En primer lugar, observamos el significado del budismo, no solo en cuanto a la búsqueda de la libertad espiritual personal sino en relación a otras religiones filosóficas.

Después de una breve historia del budismo, exploramos las dos ramas de esta asombrosa religión (el budismo Mahayana y Theravada) y las dos sub-ramas del Mahayana (Tibetano y Zen).

Budoshoshinshu: Essential Teachings on the Way of the Warrior
by Daidoji YuzanA definitive treatise on the code of the samurai--revised and with a new introductionUpholding the samurai code both on and off the battlefield is one of the essential tenets of bushidō, the Way of the Warrior—and Budōshoshinshu is a definitive treatise on living in accordance with the samurai code. When it comes to books on samurai philosophy, the Edo-period classic Hagakure is iconic to contemporary readers, but Budōshoshinshu, which was written during same period, was equally influential at the time. Many scholars consider Hagakure, which was influenced by Zen, to be the most radical and romantic of samurai texts, while Budōshoshinshu is more measured and practical, owing to its heavy Confucian influence. Taken in tandem, they provide a range of insights on the role of the individual within the samurai order—both addressing the warrior’s role in times of peace and emphasizing the importance of living selflessly. Written by Daidoji Yūzan, a Confucian scholar who descended from a long line of prominent warriors, Budōshoshinshu comprises 56 pithy instructive essays for young samurai on how to live morally, with professional integrity and a higher purpose, and to carry on the true chivalrous tradition of bushidō. Budōshoshinshu is imbued with classic Confucian philosophy, centered on living one’s life with sincerity and loyalty.

Buffalo Bill and the Mormons
by Brent M. RogersIn this never-before-told history of Buffalo Bill and the Mormons, Brent M. Rogers presents the intersections in the epic histories of William F. &“Buffalo Bill&” Cody and the Latter-day Saints from 1846 through 1917. In Cody&’s autobiography he claimed to have been a member of the U.S. Army wagon train that was burned by the Saints during the Utah War of 1857–58. Less than twenty years later he began his stage career and gained notoriety by performing anti-Mormon dramas. By early 1900 he actively recruited Latter-day Saints to help build infrastructure and encourage growth in the region surrounding his town of Cody, Wyoming. In Buffalo Bill and the Mormons Rogers unravels this history and the fascinating trajectory that took America&’s most famous celebrity from foe to friend of the Latter-day Saints. In doing so, the book demonstrates how the evolving relationship between Cody and the Latter-day Saints can help readers better understand the political and cultural perceptions of Mormons and the American West.

Seventeen-year-old Rebecca has traveled by covered wagon from Utah to the North-West Territories of Canada, where her parents and brothers are now homesteading and establishing a new community. Despite the back-breaking work, Rebecca decides that she, too, must have her own land. She sets to the seemingly impossible task of earning enough money to buy her homestead, while surviving the relentless challenges of pioneer life – the ones that mother nature throws at her in the form of blizzards, grizzlies, influenza or flood, and the ones that come with human nature, be they government bureaucracy, exasperating neighbours or the breathtaking frailty of life. All the while, her quest opens a floodgate of questions. Why should she be expected to marry and be subject to her husband’s domain? What kind of a man would she marry, anyway? Someone gallant and exciting like Levi Hunt? Or a man of ideas like Coby Webster? How can she make this land she loves her own?

Bugsy Siegel: The Dark Side of the American Dream (Jewish Lives)
by Michael ShnayersonThe story of the notorious Jewish gangster who ascended from impoverished beginnings to the glittering Las Vegas strip"A highly readable, fast-moving contribution to the annals of 20th-century organized crime."—Kirkus Reviews In a brief life that led to a violent end, Benjamin &“Bugsy&” Siegel (1906–1947) rose from desperate poverty to ill-gotten riches, from an early-twentieth-century family of Ukrainian Jewish immigrants on the Lower East Side to a kingdom of his own making in Las Vegas. In this captivating portrait, author Michael Shnayerson sets out not to absolve Bugsy Siegel but rather to understand him in all his complexity. Through the 1920s, 1930s, and most of the 1940s, Bugsy Siegel and his longtime partner in crime Meyer Lansky engaged in innumerable acts of violence. As World War II came to an end, Siegel saw the potential for a huge, elegant casino resort in the sands of Las Vegas. Jewish gangsters built nearly all of the Vegas casinos that followed. Then, one by one, they disappeared. Siegel&’s story laces through a larger, generational story of eastern European Jewish immigrants in the early- to mid-twentieth century.
