Following numerous disasters, the remaining people have established themselves as hunters and gatherers. They are also warriors, ready to defend and kill when necessary. Garr, together with her brother, were once fearsome warriors. After meeting a wise older man who guides her into maturity, Garr’s life is changed forever. She becomes the partner of a nomadic tribe’s leader and works to change the future.

The book also provides a unique examination of the hearts and souls of those who endured the darkest days of the twentieth century, through the eyes of one of the periods most astute and insightful observers. Reviews and Comments regarding Sunrays at Midnight Abby Spilka, Director of Communication, Museum of Jewish Heritage: "Norbert Friedman... hearing about his life will change yours. What happened to Norbert was unspeakable, which is precisely why he speaks to others about it. ......His is a story of survival, triumph, and hope." Rabbi, Jack Riemer, D.D., Author, Lecturer and Editor: "The author is very much aware that all the memories and all the works of prose and poetry that have ever been written cannot ever begin to adequately describe the pain of even one victim´s experience. And yet, tell the story he must-for the sake of his children who urged him to put down in writing the story of his life and for the sake of the generation who needs to know what happened and what meaning, if any, it has..." David Marwell, Ph. D., Director, Museum of Jewish Heritage- A Living Memorial to the Holocaust: "Throughout this historical and personal account, the author provides insight towards the many relationships that sustained him, from the most intimate to the most intricate, from familial love to his powerful faith in humankind and God."

The mind training teachings are a great vehicle instruction, because they are most concerned with developing the awakening mind, the altruistic mind of enlightenment. They are directed primarily towards the practitioner of great capacity, and deal essentially with transforming our metal attitudes. One special feature of the mind training teachings is the advice to transform adversity into advantage. So, not only do these instructions help us open out towards other beings, but they also help us transform whatever difficulties come our way into something valuable. The Mind Training Like the Rays of the Sun exemplifies Tsong-khapa’s presentation of mind training. The author, Nam-kha Pel, as he mentions in his introduction, received the lineage of the explanation of the Seven Point Mind Training, which is the fundamental text here, from various sources including Je Rinpoche, his principal teacher. what is distinctive about this presentation is that he has managed to combine both the mind training instructions as they are recorded in Geshey Che-ka-wa’s text with the pattern of the Stages of the Path.

Sunlight is part of everyday life and we accept it as good-and good it is in a number of ways. The sun is our source of warmth, and of the light by which we see. It is, in fact, the source of the energy with which life continues on earth. It furnishes energy for photosynthesis, and the pro ducts of photosynthesis constitute our food, building materials, and fuel. A steady state of balance and fine interrelationships exists between life on earth and all the forces and stresses in nature. This book will pin point the balance and relationships we share with sunlight. Our primary focus will be on the ultraviolet radiation of the sun, and on the ultraviolet photobiology of life on earth. This is the story of the effects of the sun's ultraviolet radiation, both good and bad, on all of us and all of life. We will explore the nature of the sun's ultraviolet radiation as it reaches the earth's surface today, and as it probably affected the earth in the distant past; and examine the effect of such radiation on all life, unicellular organisms as well as multicellular plants and animals. The effects of the sun's ultraviolet rays are primarily a result of their action upon cells, and secondarily, a result of their interactions between cells. The cell of a multicellular organism-man included-is also part of the tissue of an organ, and the organ is part of the whole organism.

A practical guide to the Tibetan Buddhist tradition of Dzogchen—or the direct experience of enlightenment—complete with meditation techniques by two Vajrayana teachers In Roaring Silence, Vajrayana teachers Ngakpa Chögyam and Khandro Déchen walk the reader through the meditation techniques that "enable us to side-step the bureaucracy of intellectual processes and experience ourselves directly"—to discover this direct experience of enlightenment that is the mind of Dzogchen. Surprisingly, the approach is very pragmatic. Offering an investigation of the necessary steps, the authors begin with how to prepare for the journey: the lama is essential; as are a sense of humor, inspiration, and determination. They continue by describing the path of Dzogchen from sitting meditation to the direct perception of reality. The chapters include exercises for sharpening the presence of our awareness, for simple visualizations, and for investigating how to "remain uninvolved" with mental activity for a period—with follow-up guidance on how to view our experiences. Both practical and inspirational, the authors' exquisitely precise guidance is all presented with the caveat, "be kind to yourself, don't push yourself beyond your limits."
