Secular Buddhism : imagining the Dharma in an uncertain world / by Batchelor, Stephen,author.(CARDINAL)519783;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 255-271) and index.Introduction. In search of a voice -- Looking for Nanavīra. Existence, enlightenment, and suicide ; "A much younger man, but no less charming" -- Buddhism 2.0. A secular Buddhism -- Thinking out loud. Rebirth : a case for Buddhist agnosticism ; Creating sangha ; The agnostic Buddhist ; The other enlightenment project ; What's wrong with conversion? ; Limits of agnosticism ; A secular Buddhist ; A mindful nation? -- Conversations. The eclectic cleric ; Study and practice ; After Buddhism -- Art and imagination. A convenient fiction ; A democracy of the imagination ; Seeing the light ; A cosmos of found objects ; An aesthetics of emptiness.As the practice of mindfulness permeates mainstream Western culture, more and more people are engaging in a traditional form of Buddhist meditation. However, many of these people have little interest in the religious aspects of Buddhism, and the practice occurs within secular contexts such as hospitals, schools, and the workplace. Is it possible to recover from the Buddhist teachings a vision of human flourishing that is secular rather than religious without compromising the integrity of the tradition? Is there an ethical framework that can underpin and contextualize these practices in a rapidly changing world? In this collected volume of Stephen Batchelor's writings on these themes, he explores the complex implications of Buddhism's secularization. Ranging widely-from reincarnation, religious belief, and agnosticism to the role of the arts in Buddhist practice-he offers a detailed picture of contemporary Buddhism and its attempt to find a voice in the modern world.

Secular meditation : 32 practices for cultivating inner peace, compassion, and joy : a guide from the humanist community at Harvard / by Heller, Rick,1954-;
"Many avoid meditation because of its religious trappings. But as bestselling atheist Sam Harris has recently written (in Waking Up), meditation is an age-old secular practice with numerous scientifically verified physical and psychological benefits. As longtime meditation teacher Rick Heller here shows, meditation's benefits extend beyond the personal to enrich relationship with others, with community, and with the world. Step-by-step instructions, personal stories, and provocative questions teach empathy for others, stress reduction and inner peace, and the kind of in-the-moment living that fosters appreciation for life and resilience in the face of adversity. Heller simplifies what is often found mysterious - "If you have ever loved or even liked another person, you have the prerequisites for learning kindness meditation" - and invites all to partake in "awe and wonder at the rich experience of being alive.""--Includes bibliographical references (pages 257-271) and index.
