Meditation is a gentle, gradual path to transforming our life. While practicing meditation, compassion and mindfulness, we learn to experience our deeper feeling rather than our reactive emotions and busy mind alone. Humans generally follow the thinking mind and intellect to resolve difficulties. This leads to pursuing concepts, affirmations and fabrications in the attempt to understand our life. In this audiobook the Buddhist teacher and Balinese priest shows a gentle and effective way to life transformation: through practicing meditation.

It examines the critical period of the Principate from the end of the Republic to the reign of Domitian.

In this allegorical short story, Nathaniel Hawthorne parodies John Bunyan’s famous book, The Pilgrim’s Progress. Rather than take the long and arduous road to the Celestial City, Hawthorne’s narrator hops on the express train to paradise. As he gets closer to his destination, however, he realizes that the clever-talking Mr. Smooth-It-Away may not be who he claims. While a caricature of Bunyan’s original tale, “The Celestial Railroad” ultimately drives home a similar point: there is no easy road to Heaven, so tough it out on the straight and narrow.

Jonathan Safran Foer, da piccolo, trascorreva il sabato e la domenica con sua nonna. Quando arrivava, lei lo sollevava per aria stringendolo in un forte abbraccio, e lo stesso faceva quando andava via. Ma non era solo affetto, il suo: dietro c'era la preoccupazione costante di sapere che il nipote avesse mangiato a sufficienza. La preoccupazione di chi è quasi morto di fame durante la guerra, ma che è stato capace di rifiutare della carne di maiale che l'avrebbe tenuto in vita perché non era cibo kosher, perché "se niente importa, non c'è niente da salvare".
