HOOKED! Buddhist Writings on Greed, Desire, and the Urge to Consume
edited by Stephanie Kaza
At one time or another, most of us have experienced an all-consuming desire for a material object, a desire so strong that it seems like we couldn't possibly be happy without buying this thing. Yet, when we give in to this impulse, we often find ourselves feeling frustrated and empty. Advertisers, of course, aim to hook us in this way, and, from a global perspective, our tendency to get hooked fuels the rampant over-consumption that is having a devastating impact on the world's stability and on the environment.
According to the contributors to this unique anthology, Buddhism can shed valuable light on our compulsions to consume. Craving and attachment how they arise and how to free ourselves of them are central themes of Buddhist thought. The writings in this volume, most of which have never been previously published, offer fresh perspectives and much-needed correctives to our society's tendency to believe that having more will make us happier.

MIND OVER MATTER
by Tarthang Tulku
How can the Dharma benefit our lives today? Drawing upon three decades of experience with Western students, Tarthang Tulku discusses issues important to everyone interested in the transmission of Buddhism to western lands. In Mind over Matter, he reviews the differences between traditional and Western views of Dharma study and practice and examines how these differences complicate our efforts to embody the teachings in a meaningful way. Chapters on the attitudes toward authority, academic presentations of Buddhism, and the therapeutic approach clarify deeply ingrained patterns in Western culture that challenge a successful transmission of the teachings.

DEPENDENT ARISING AND EMPTINESS: A Tibetan Buddhism Interpretation of Madhyamika Philosophy
by Elizabeth Napper
Emptiness and dependent-arising are two core concepts within Buddhism. An understanding of their integral relationship allows us to see how the Madhyamika school, the preeminent school of Buddhist philosophy in Tibet, can completely deny any inherent ontological status to the world around us while maintaining a valid presentation of reality based on ethical principles.
