Home Is Here: Practicing Antiracism with the Engaged Eightfold Path
by Liên ShuttA guide to living the Engaged Four Noble Truths: antiracist practices for wholeness, healing, and collective liberation. For readers of Be the Refuge, The Way of Tenderness, Love and Rage, and Radical Dharma.Home is Here builds on foundational Buddhist teachings—the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path—offering an intersectional frame to help you embody antiracist practices and tend to your own healing under racism and oppression.Grounded in practice, memoir, and mindful self-help skill-building, Rev. Liên Shutt&’s Engaged Four Noble Truths illuminate a path toward healing and liberation. She shares her own experiences with anti-Asian hate—as a teen riding her bike, meditating in whitewashed monasteries—and asks, what does it mean to attend to our suffering in body, heart, and mind when racism can cause such intense hurt and pain? What does it look like to heal?While written mainly for Asian American Buddhists and other BIPOC practitioners, Home is Here moves us all from knowing and contemplation to a place of action and wholeness.In the doing is the realization, and in practicing antiracism, we build a home for all beings. This is reflected in Rev. Shutt&’s choice to frame each step of the Engaged Eightfold Path not as &“right&” but as &“skillful&”—to convey both the knowing and the practices essential to healing harm. In this way: Skillful view helps us understand and unpack the layers of our racial conditioning within systemic white supremacy.Skillful motivation allows us to understand our agency and align our actions with wholeness.Skillful effort guides us when working through difficult or triggering situationsSkillful speech helps us communicate wholly truthfully, even (and especially) when navigating challenging conversations.An engaged reframing of core Buddhist spiritual principles, Home is Here connects foundational practices to urgent causes—and invites readers on a path home to wholeness.

by Llewellyn Vaughan-LeeDelving into the inner world of archetypes and drawing on the ancient tradition of alchemy, this reflective guide emphasizes the inner spiritual light of each individual as part of the spiritual light of the world, and as a potent agent for the global change that is needed at this time of accelerating ecological devastation.

Catching the Thread: Sufism, Dreamwork, and Jungian Psychology
by Llewellyn Vaughan-LeeExploring the threshold between psychology and spirituality, Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee shows how dreamwork guides us on this inner journey and helps us to understand the different stages of the path. He explores the psychological dynamics of the relationship with the teacher, so often misunderstood in the West, and then describes what is hardly mentioned in the great spiritual literature of the world: how the soul of the disciple merges with the soul of the teacher. This book is a reedited version of The Call and the Echo, combined with some of the most important material from the author's first book, The Lover and the Serpent.
Darkening of the Light: Witnessing the End of an Era
by Llewellyn Vaughan-LeeA compelling insight into the impact that external, ecological damage has on the inner self, this spiritual exploration argues that although spiritual teachings reveal that events in the outer world are a reflection of changes taking place in the inner world, there is little awareness and discussion of how this outer darkening is reflected within. The book tells the story of changes that have been taking place in the inner worlds that belong to a collective spiritual destiny and the fate of the planet, changes that are as significant as the ecological devastation even as they are unreported and unacknowledged. It asserts that destruction of the surrounding world, as it continues, is reflected in the inner worlds of all people through a loss of sacred light, and the threat of a soulless wasteland looms large. The book seeks to address readers' futures as individuals and as a whole, and to inspire people to take responsibility for the earth and reclaim humanity's sacred role as its guardians.

El Retorno de la Feminidad Sagrada y el Alma del Mundo
by Llewellyn Vaughan-LeeLo femenino contiene el misterio de la creación. Esta verdad simple y primordial amenudo pasa desapercibida. Sin embargo, en estos tiempos de crisis global, que a suvez portan las semillas de una transformación global, es necesario que redespertemos alpoder espiritual y al potencial de lo femenino. Las cualidades femeninas forman partetanto del hombre como de la mujer y nos empujan hacia las profundidades de nuestroser, hasta los misterios del alma, cuya sabiduría se denomina Sofía. Sin lo femeninonada nuevo puede nacer, nada nuevo puede llegar a la existencia; quedaríamosatrapados en las imágenes materialistas de la vida que están contaminando nuestroplaneta y profanando nuestras almas. Tenemos que volver al centro de nuestro ser, allugar donde lo sagrado se manifiesta en la existencia. Y la feminidad mística contienela clave para poder llevar a cabo esta labor de redención y de transformación.En las últimas dos décadas Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee ha impartido enseñanzassobre lo femenino y el anima mundi, el Alma del Mundo, que por primera vez hansido recopiladas en este libro.The feminine holds the mystery of creation. This simple and primordial truth is often overlooked, but at this time of global crisis, which also carries the seeds of a global transformation, we need to reawaken to the spiritual power and potential of the feminine. Feminine qualities belong to both men and women, and they draw us into the depths within us, into the mysteries of the soul whose wisdom is called Sophia. Without the feminine nothing new can be born, nothing new can come into existence—we will remain caught in the materialistic images of life that are polluting our planet and desecrating our souls. We need to return to the core of our being, to where the sacred comes into existence. And the mystical feminine holds the key to this work of redemption and transformation. Over the past two decades Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee has given different teachings on the feminine and the anima mundi, the World Soul. They are compiled here for the first time.
