No Time to Lose, Pema Chodron, her commentary on the Way of the Bodhisattva. I am well into this and it is very good. Lots to think about and practice, especially mindfulness, which PC really inspires me toward.
Karma-Yoga and Bhakti-Yoga by Swami Vivekenanda. Very interesting discourse on Bhakti which ties in with my novel and the next book....
Miracle of Life, stories about Neem Karoli Baba, compiled by Ram Dass. Stories about the guru of Ram Dass, who he describes in Be Here Now, which I actually read as a kid, maybe a teenager. Bhakti path. Good so far. Having met and had darshan with a real guru for the first time recently, Amma, her in NorCal, I am curious about gurus especially one like NKB who I "met" early in my life. I don't know if he is my guru or not but perhaps I will figure that out.
The image is of Kuan Yin, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, originally called Avalokitesvara in Buddhist texts like the Heart Sutra. She was originally described as male and then became male and/or female.
