Embracing Change - A World in Peace


Book Description

There's no use denying it. The world is changing. Rapidly. We're all feeling it. Many of us don't understand it yet. We're resistant to believe that the old ways don't work any longer. We're being nudged, pushed, pulled, and prompted to change. The forces of the universe are conspiring to make it a better place. We needn't agree on what to call this Force that unites us. Whether some Higher Provi-dence that Created All or a Quantum Force underlying Matter and Energy, whether God or Wave, whether enlightenment, awakening, or simply a return to Knowing, we can agree to consider a few simple points: - Clinging to old beliefs and resisting change leads to continued pain. - The world is changing and as we accept this change life has the potential to be more peaceful. - Continuing to live the lives we've led will likely yield similar results. - Those who do not embrace change will not flourish in our changing world. - Change is a hard thing, perhaps the hardest thing, but it's possible. If you're willing to consider that the above statements may be true, if they somehow resonate, even in the midst of doubt, this book may hold some of the answers you're looking for. Welcome. Enjoy the ride.




Impermanence


Book Description

What does it mean that we are constantly changing? How do people confront ideas like death and change? Asked to contribute to an exhibit celebrating the work of the Dalai Lama, multimedia artists David and Hi-Jin Hodge interviewed over a hundred people about impermanence and change in their lives. Their subjects ranged from philosophers, gardeners, economists, spiritual leaders, doctors, and patients. The result was incredibly moving. The Hodges's installation consisted of a large circular arrangement of mounted iPods on which the interviews played simultaneously, each on its own screen. Now this unique record has been made available for a wider audience; it includes links to access the video so that the interviews can be viewed as they were seen in the original exhibit. Though impermanence is a central Buddhist concept, it's also a universal concern. We all grow up, change, and eventually pass into another state. Impermanence: Embracing Change provides a range of voices both profound and heartwarming that address these questions.
