About the Book

How do we really get on in this world? Tossed around by gain, buffeted by loss, borne aloft by praise, cast down by blame, how can we not be ground under, loose all direction, confidence, and sense of purpose? The Buddha had clear guidance on how to rise above these 'worldly winds', and Vajragupta here opens up for us the Buddha's compassionate yet uncompromising teaching. Using reflections, exercises and suggestions for daily practice, this book can help you find greater equanimity and perspective in the ups and downs - big and small - of everyday life.

Table of Contents:
Acknowledgements Introduction Blown by the Wind Learning to sail the worldly winds Shelter from the storm - the inner work of meditation The winds of change - deepening our perspective Winds from the West If ... The Buddha's teaching of the worldly winds Notes and References

About the Author :
Vajragupta was born as Richard Staunton in 1968 and grew up in London. He studied social science at university and first came into contact with Buddhism at the Birmingham Buddhist Centre (a centre of the Triratna Buddhist Community) in the early 1990s. He was ordained in 1994 and given the name Vajragupta which means 'secret, or hidden, diamond-like truth'. He was director of the Birmingham Buddhist Centre from 1997 to 2005, and is now director of the Triratna Development Team - working for a collective of 50 Triratna centres and projects across Europe. He currently lives in Worcester, England where he teaches Buddhism and meditation, enjoys walking and wildlife, reading, poetry, and travelling over to nearby Stratford to watch productions of Shakespeare plays. His previous books, Buddhism: Tools for Living Your Life and The Triratna Story, were also published by Windhorse Publications.
