The Sutra on Knowing the Better Way to Live Alone is the earliest teaching of the Buddha on living fully in the present moment. "To live alone" means to live in mindfulness, to let go of the past and the future, and to discover the true nature of all that is taking place in the present moment. To live alone does not mean to isolate ourselves from society. If we know how to live alone, we can truly be in touch with people and know how to be of help to society. In his gentle and clear style, Thich Nhat Hanh reminds us that that our appointment with life is in the present moment.

IN THIS FRESH TRANSLATION and commentary, Thich Nhat Hanh explores the essential teaching of Master Linji, one of the founders of Zen Buddhism. Linji's unorthodox teachings remind us that insight is better reached through our own experience and practice than by following others.

With humor, skill, and compassion, Thich Nhat Hanh shows us how we can each get closer to the ideal person within us, the person who simply is, with nothing to achieve and nowhere to be.

Living with the Devil is Stephen Batchelor's seminal work on humankind's greatest struggle- to become good. Batchelor traces the trajectory- from the words of the Buddha and Christ, through the writings of Shantideva, Milton, and Pascal, to the poetry of Baudelaire ant the fiction of Kafka -- that keep us from doing what's in our own and other's best interests. He shows us the Myriad forms those obstacles take: a wandering farmer, a caring friend, a devout religious believer, a powerful king, even a frustrated old man who doodles in the sand when he cannot snare the Buddha. The devil need not appear with horns and a forked tail: he stands for everything that paralyzes our innate wisdom, freedom, and empathy, thus blocking our paths in life. Ia a world of black and white, Batchelor paints in shades of gray, illustrating what it means to live in an ambiguous and precarious environment that continually tempts ud from what we hold to be good.

Drawing on classic religious text from East and West, as well as the findings of modern physics and evolutionary biology, Batchelor asks us to examine who we really are, and to rest in the uncertainty that we may never know. For the alternative to this creative unknowing is to freeze ourselves inside rigid definitions of self -- the very work of Mara, the demonic figure that appeared to the Buddha-and blindly follow the feeling that we are, as expressed by Milton, "self begot," independent and permanent. To free ourselves from such diabolic constriction entails creating a path that imbues our lives with purpose, freedom and compassion. This is a hopeful book about living with life's contradictions. Batchelor argues that freedom from the demonic is achieved not by suppressing it or projecting it onto others, but by calmly and clearly recognizing and understanding those inhibiting and destructive powers as they will up from within us and assail us from without. Such an approach not only releases the grip in which the devil hold us, but opens up the world as an astonishing play of endless flux contingency. This leads to a perspective of vigilant care from which we can respond to the cries of the world rather tan react to then out of habitual self-interest and fear.

Living with the Devil tells a poetic and provocative tale that weaves its way among philosophy, religion, and science, and psychology, history, and myth. This is a book that will challenge your attitudes, your beliefs, the very way you live your life.
