Although the book was originally published in 2012, the book has been completely rewritten and republished in 2018. Also, the book has been updated for recent scientific discoveries. Can World Peace be obtained through a technology that supports an invincible force based on a transcendental source of energy? Is humanity's world view approaching a paradigm shift of unprecedented proportions? Are our concepts about reality and human nature about to bridge the gap between ancient wisdom and modern science? The Ninth Siddhi: Preparing for a technological Solution for World Peace illustrates and answers these questions. Today, violence is palpable around the world. Unstable nuclear enabled regimes taunt and threaten large nation states with annihilation. Religious madmen kill and murder indiscriminately in the streets of Europe and North America. In the United States, school children armed with military weaponry kill and maim other school children for no apparent reason. The Ninth Siddhi advocates for a new path to a nonviolent world. A path without automatic weapons, chemical bombs, or nuclear missiles. It is clear that gun laws, sanctions, diplomacy, or the strongest political action will not bring peace to the world. Reason will not prevail. A new path is necessary that leads all loving families to a nonviolent world and a more peaceful ideology. The technological solution for world peace is dependent on activating and inspiring world populations to walk this path together. The new technology actualizes ancient wisdom from antiquity which states that when war, suffering, and terror grow, an invincible force of nature moves to set man's vision right and establish a way of life, living, and loving, that again will fulfill the high purpose of human existence.

Over the centuries, Buddhist ideas have influenced medical thought and practice in complex and varied ways in diverse regions and cultures. A companion to Buddhism and Medicine: An Anthology of Premodern Sources, this work presents a collection of modern and contemporary texts and conversations from across the Buddhist world dealing with the multifaceted relationship between Buddhism and medicine. Covering the early modern period to the present, this anthology focuses on the many ways Buddhism and medicine were shaped by the forces of colonialism, science, and globalization, as well as ruptures and reconciliations between tradition and modernity. Editor C. Pierce Salguero and an international collection of scholars highlight diversity and innovation in the encounters between Buddhist and medical thought. The chapters contain a wide range of sources presenting different perspectives rooted in distinct times and places, including translations of published and unpublished documents and transcripts of ethnographic interviews as well as accounts by missionaries and colonial authorities and materials from the contemporary United States and United Kingdom. Together, these varied sources illustrate the many intersections of Buddhism and medicine in the past and how this nexus continues to be crucial in today’s global context.

‘Among the eighteen classic Hindu texts called the Puranas, the Brahmanda Purana recounts the stories and lores associated with Brahma, the creator and one of the trinities of the supreme divinity along with Vishnu and Shiva. A relatively early Purana, its composition can be traced back to approximately 400 to 600 BCE, predating many other Hindu texts. While the first volume talks of the cosmology, creation, and geography, the lineages of rishis and shraddha rites, ending with Parashurama's stoory, the highlight of volume 2 is its emphasis on Lalita's greatness, the slaying of Bhandasura, Madana's rebirth and the glory of Kamakshi. Translated and annotated from the original Sanskrit by Bibek Debroy, this edition of the Brahmanda Purana is a precious and rare volume for the lovers of Hindu mythology and religion. This is the sixth volume in the Purana series; the others include the Bhagavata Purana, the Markandeya Purana, the Brahma Purana, Vishnu Purana, and the Shiva Purana.’

Kirti Tsenshap Rinpoche was a renowned teacher of Tibetan Buddhism with students worldwide. Revered as a teacher by even the Dalai Lama, he was known especially as a master of Buddhist tantra, the powerful esoteric methods for attaining enlightenment swiftly. The teachings in this book are a singular record of his deep learning in that field. Originally delivered in California to a group of Western students, the teachings comment on a classic introduction to tantra by the nineteenth-century Mongolian lama Choje Ngawang Palden. The work, Illumination of the Tantric Tradition, is a staple even today of the curriculum for training young monastics. Kirti Tsenshap Rinpoche explains the distinctive features of the four classes of tantra--action tantra, performance tantra, yoga tantra, and highest yoga tantra--by describing the way to progress through their paths and levels. He illuminates key issues in tantric practice that are still a matter for debate within the tradition. Finally, he gives a special treatment of the unique methods of Kalacakra tantra, which is regularly taught around the globe by His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
