Softcover. Condition: Good. From back cover: "A New Approach to Buddhism might well be a much better introduction for the many thousands who will probably turn away from the transcendental, concentrative, power- or bliss-oriented types of 'goal' meditation prevalent at present, to a more 'earthed,' inclusive, path-oriented meditation, such as that taught by the Buddha, and introduced to England from Thailand in 1966 by Dhiravamsa" - Dinah Day "A new approach is being introduced to enable people to have a clearer insight into the subject of the Buddha-Dhamma. In order to see anything in a fresh way, we need to leave aside dogmatic assertions, traditions, beliefs, and even knowledge and information concerning Buddhism. Otherwise, we shall not see things anew but remain tied to a kind of repetition in which there is boredom, conflict, contradiction, and a form of sleep. We are enquiring into the possibility of having a new dimension in our attitude to life as a living reality, in which everything is integrated because it is understood. This requires freedom from attachment to the dogmas of organised religion, and the renunciation of the self, so that in our journey through life we shall not be diverted by ego-trips, or by ego plans for becoming something or somebody." -Dhiravamsa.

Softcover. Condition: Good. Product Description "For those who would embrace a religious life based on heart-breaking Freedom--I Am here." - Avatar Adi Da Samraj "Adidam is not a conventional religion, not a conventional way of life. Adidam is about the transcending of the ego-"I" and the Freedom of Divine Self-Realization. Adidam is not based on mythology or belief. Adidam is a "reality practice" Adidam is a "reality consideration" in which the various modes of egoity are progressively transcended. Adidam is a universally applicable Way of life. Adidam is for those who will choose It, and whose hearts and intelligence fully respond to Me and My Offering. Adidam is a Great Revelation, and It is to be freely and openly communicated to all." -Avatar Adi Da Samraj (c) 2003 The Da Love-Ananda Samrajya Pty Ltd, as trustee for The Da Love-Ananda Samrajya. All rights reserved. Perpetual copyright claimed. Review It is obvious, from all sorts of subtle details, that he knows what ITs all about?a rare being. -- ALAN WATTS Author, The Way of Zen and The Wisdom of InsecurityThe life and teaching of Avatar Adi Da Samraj are of profound and decisive significance at this moment in history. -- BRYAN DESCHAMP Senior Adviser at the United Nations High Commission for RefugeesThe work of Adi Da [is] one of the most penetrating spiritual experiments happening on the planet in our era. -- JEFFREY MISHLOVE, Ph.D., Host, PBS television series, Thinking Allowed; Author, The Roots of Consciousness About the Author About Ruchira Avatar Adi Da Samraj From the moment of His Avataric birth (in New York, on November 3, 1939), Adi Da Samraj was consciously aware of His native Divine Condition: the Condition of everyone and everything. As soon as He became able to use language, He gave this Condition a simple but very descriptive Name- the "Bright" At two years of age, Adi Da Samraj spontaneously decided to relinquish His constant enjoyment of the "Bright" out of what He describes as a "painful loving", a sympathy for the suffering and ignorance of human beings. Avatar Adi Da confesses that He chose to "Learn Man"- to pass through all of the "ordinary" human limitations and presumptions that people suffer, and also to pass through the entire spectrum of "extraordinary" spiritual phenomena that people can seek and attain- in order to discover how to draw human beings into the "Bright" Divine Condition that He knew as His own True State and the True State of everyone. In His spiritual autobiography, The Knee Of Listening, Avatar Adi Da recounts this amazing and heroic ordeal of submitting utterly to every aspect and stage of human experience: both high and low in the spectrum of human possibility. In 1970, at 30 years of age, Avatar Adi Da finally Re-Awakened permanently to the "Bright", and embarked upon the second great purpose of His Incarnation- the process of "Teaching Man" In the 30 years since He began teaching Avatar Adi Da Samraj has communicated a vast store of Wisdom. He has published well over 60 books and given thousands of discourses on every subject that impinges on human and spiritual understanding: from the most ordinary and mundane to the most sacred and esoteric. Adi Da's unique Wisdom-Teaching has inspired the formation of schools, clinics, artisans guilds, and retreat sanctuaries, as well as an international network of communities devoted to the spiritual practice that He has outlined.

Book
Softcover. Condition: Good. In 1980, two devotees of Adi Da visited the Tibetan master Chogyam Trungpa and showed him video footage of Adi Da. After the presentation, Chogyam Trungpa expressed his respect for the authenticity of Adi Da, and said: It is tremendously difficult to begin a new tradition. Adi Da is working to establish the Way of Perfect Knowledge (or Way of Adidam) as a new tradition a total culture of life and practice that includes and serves the process of Realization from the beginner s level to the ultimate stages, or Perfect Practice . The Way of Adidam combines and transcends different orientations represented in Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta. Adi Da calls for a dual sensitivity a sensitivity to what is merely conditional and passing, on the one hand, and to what is non-conditional, transcendental and Divine, on the other. In this first book of the Perfect Knowledge series Adi Da makes clear why the Way of Adidam is a final revelation, a summery of all traditions. He does not merely say this to be believed, it is to be found out by all those interested. "From time to time in human history, Great Sages have appeared, who have, to one degree or another, agreed to instruct devotees. A truly Great Sage speaks as the Very Condition, the Radiant Ocean of Being, That is Reality. Adi Da Samraj, from the beginning of his lifetime, has shown the signs of such a one. The teaching of Adi Da Samraj is a great gift to all who need to understand the human event from the viewpoint of Ultimate Truth, beyond the winds of doctrine and the competing philosophies that have made and unmade the cultures of humankind." From the Introduction by Carolyn Lee, PhD.

Book
Softcover. Condition: Good. 3rd Expanded Edition. In 1983, the first edition of Easy Death appeared to wide acclaim. Many people in the professions associated with death and dying expressed their immense appreciation, and the book was hailed by death-and-dying pioneer Elizabeth Kbler-Ross as a masterpiece. The second edition of the book was published in 1991, bringing together more of Avatar Adi Das remarkable Wisdom about death given in the years since the first edition. As Adi Da Samraj essentially retired from active verbal Instruction in April 2000, this third edition of Easy Death stands as a summary communication of His Teaching on matters of life and death.The contents of this new edition draw from both previous editions, from new Talks and Writings, and from the remarkable stories of Avatar Adi Das Spiritual Work with the living and the dying that has continued without cease since the second edition. The volume also contains several excerpts from Avatar Adi Das principal Source-Text, The Dawn Horse Testament Of The Ruchira Avatar, on the question of death. And perhaps the most significant additions to the third edition are the sections describing Avatar Adi Das own direct consideration and experience relative of the esoteric process of death and Realization.If you are open to the Blessing that flows through the pages of Easy Death, you will find yourself drawn into a heart-conversation as alive and intimate as any secret exchange between Guru and disciple in ancient times.-from the Editors Preface to the Third Edition.

Book First Edition
Softcover. Condition: Good. Full Color Illustrations (illustrator). First Edition. Product DescriptionAdi Da Samraj's collateral exhibition at the 52nd Biennale di Venezia (2007), "Transcendental Realism", marks the first time his work is being shown to the public. The commentary he offers in these twelve essays can help the reader to appreciate the astonishing scope and purpose of his art, and to understand the place it holds in the tradition of art altogether.Erik van Erp writes in the introduction: "Art speaks for itself, in silence. Yet, some words can be spoken to assist its reception. In the text you have before you, "Transcendental Realism", the artist, Adi Da Samraj, speaks of his art, his purposes, and the unique artistic discipline by which those purposes are realized. .Adi Da crafts his writings with the same serious intent and meticulous discipline with which he makes his images. More than a verbal explanation of what his art is really all about, this body of words, much like Adi Da's art itself, is a "transformational environment" If you have seen Adi Da's art, and wonder what or who it was that moved you, a careful consideration of this text will serve to integrate the immediacy of the aesthetic experience into a transformed understanding of Adi Da's art, of art altogether, and of the most profound dimensions of human experience. .On the cover of the book is printed a circular word-image, "Reality Itself Is Truth Itself Is The Beautiful Itself" This, at once, defines the circle of essential meaning in which the text moves. It is a circle that encompasses Plato, the Upanishads, and the alchemical experiments of Gertrude Stein. It is a circle in which antiquity meets modernism a circle that freely embraces all serious achievements of human civilization and culture. There is no irony here, no post-modern tongue-in-cheek. In "Transcendental Realism", Adi Da announces his serious intent to renew the "modernist" program, and he is not going to settle for less than the traditionally required measure of art as Reality, Truth, The Beautiful, realized as an indivisible unity.Adi Da always returns the reader to the unity of Being, no matter what the topic under consideration."Review"It is a rare artist who can convey, convincingly, the sense of being face to face with the source of being. Adi Da can clearly live in the depths without succumbing to their pressure, bringing back pearls of art to prove it." -- --Donald Kuspit, Critic, Professor of Art History and Philosophy, State University of New York at Stony BrookAbout the AuthorFrom his birth (on Long Island, New York, in 1939), Adi Da Samraj has always manifested unique signs of spiritual illumination and of artistic and literary inspiration. Nevertheless, from his birth, and until his spiritual restoration at thirty years of age, Adi Da Samraj submitted himself to an ordeal of "self-identification" with all the limitations and sufferings of the human condition. Adi Da Samraj describes his early years as being focused in two fundamental activities: investigating how (in the scale of human "ordinariness") to perfectly realize the Truth of "Reality Itself", and achieving the ability to communicate the Truth of "Reality Itself" through artistic means (both visual and literary).Adi Da Samraj graduated from Columbia University in 1961, with a BA in philosophy, and from Stanford University in 1966, with an MA in English literature. His master's thesis, a study of core issues in modernism, focused on the literary experiments of Gertrude Stein and on the modernist painters of the same period.In 1964, Adi Da Samraj began a period of intensive practice under a succession of spiritual masters in the United States and India. Eventually, in 1970, after a final period of intense spiritual endeavor, Adi Da Samraj spontaneously became re-established in the continuous state of illumination that was his unique condition at birt.

Softcover. Condition: Good. In Love and Blessings twenty-five people tell heart-breaking stories of human need and Divine Response. A soldier in Iraq, a woman going blind in Holland, a son with his dying father in Australia, a woman with cancer in America. These and others tell how they asked Adi Da Samraj for his Blessing-Regard and the miraculous process that ensued. But the stories in 'Love and Blessings' are not only about the compassionate Blessings of Adi Da Samraj. They are about his liberating blessing and grace, which he offers as a gift for the sake of awakening all beings beyond any suffering of the body and mind to the Prior Condition of Freedom and Happiness. <P>"I begin each day by receiving requests for Blessing from devotees. Their requests are sometimes relative to difficulties of their own, such as health problems, or other matters. Sometimes they are requests for Blessing on behalf of people to whom they are somehow related. I am always given pictures of them. And something is said to Me about whatever is the problem, and what is actually being requested." <P>Avatar Adi Da Samraj.

Softcover. Condition: Good. 3. The Secret Gospel gives the first real evidence of the method by which Jesus of Nazareth initiated his disciples into the esoteric practices of his teaching, making this a very important book for the history of humankind.In 1958, Morton Smith traveled to Jerusalem to do research in the monastery library of Mar Saba, in the Judean Desert. What he found was no routine corroboration of New Testament history, but a precious fragment of a second-century document that would change our understanding of the work and teaching of Jesus of Nazareth.As exciting as the most suspenseful adventure story, Professor Smith's book is a lively and readable account of the discovery and unraveling of some of Christianity's most intriguing mysteries.

Softcover. Condition: Good. In earlier times it is recorded that men have lived to the age of three hundred or more years. We do not know whether they were still young at heart at that age or not, but we must presume that their arteries were still good and that they had not yet started to die at the age of 21 if they lived to the age of 300. In those days there was also a science of agelessness known to the sages of India. These sages invented a system of body training - a method of unison designed to keep man healthy and young and at the peak of physical power, regardless of the length of years. Beginning with a system of bodily movements repeating the animate stages of existence, a blueprint of all the organs and glands with breathing techniques for perfect functioning of each, and a technique of sensitization and control of all these organs, it led finally to a supersonic state of brain matter. This supersonic state of being is the divine majesty in every man awaiting its time of unfoldness. It was strange to hear from this sage (Pundit Acharya) that the secret of life was not mind over matter but mind of matter.

Softcover. Condition: used. Written by Ruchiradama Quandra Sukhapur Rani Naitauba, The Eternal One, commemorates the extraordinary events surrounding Avatar Adi Da's relinquishment of the physical body, and describes the beginning of the yearlong worldwide vigil period established to honor his passing and celebrate his Eternal presence.She writes: Avatar Adi Da Samraj always said that, even after his death, he would 'never be gone'. And there is now a flood of depthful testimony from his devotees, and from others who loved him during his physical lifetime that this is true. Their direct experience is that there is no difference, that Avatar Adi Da is spiritually available now, and granting his gifts of blessing, exactly the same as during his bodily lifetime.This stunningly beautiful full-color 320-page 8.5x11 book includes countless photographs from the time before and after Avatar Adi Da's death. It includes intimate accounts by Ruchiradama Quandra Sukhapur and Avatar Adi Da's youngest daughter, Naamleela, as well as testimonials by devotees, friends and family present during the vigil in Fiji and those experiencing the event simultaneously all over the world.Avatar Adi Da's senior editorial assistant, Jonathan Condit, describes the final outpouring of writing and image-art completed by Avatar Adi Da in the period before his passing. Many breathtaking examples of his art illustrate this section of the book.The Eternal One concludes with an extensive collection of Avatar Adi Da's words on His own death. We offer this unique collection as a resource to which the reader can return again and again in order to refresh the understanding of the significance of Adi Da's death, and of the truly prior and perfect nature of his work and revelation, which is not changed by the passing of his human form.This book is a must-have for those who have a relationship with Adi Da Samraj and who cherish his work and those who find themselves interested in who he is.
