Jess Eva wants you to change your life.She can’t promise to make you rich, quick-fix your relationships or help you lose weight. But she is going to show how to relax, get out of your own head (and other people’s) and start to see life as one big adventure. Are you a negative narcissist? Has your inner narrative made you a victim of your own thoughts? Have you searched for validation in the spiritual penis? Jess has – MANY TIMES! The stories we tell ourselves about our worth are so important, and we often get it so wrong. Incredible people deserve to know they’re incredible. And that’s YOU! Instead of focusing on what youshouldbe doing, Jess will help you start to do all those things you reallywantto – because why wouldn’t ya? As Jess will show you, through her humour, mad stories and down-to-earth wisdom, the worst that could happen is you’ll end up with a bloody good story to tell.

This third volume carries forward the narrative by following the exiled hero Rama, his wife, and his brother on their wanderings.

Free Download Gumbo Ya Ya: Poems By Aurielle Marie
2021 | 120 Pages | ISBN: 0822966662 | PDF | 3 MB
Gumbo Ya Ya, Aurielle Marie’s stunning debut, is a cauldron of hearty poems exploring race, gender, desire, and violence in the lives of Black gxrls, soaring against the backdrop of a contemporary South. These poems are loud, risky, and unapologetically rooted in the glory of Black gxrlhood. The collection opens with a heartrending indictment of injustice. What follows is a striking reimagination of the world, one where no Black gxrl dies "by the barrel of the law" or "for loving another Black gxrl." Part familial archival, part map of Black resistance, Gumbo Ya Ya catalogs the wide gamut of Black life at its intersections, with punching cultural commentary and a poetic voice that holds tenderness and sharpness in tandem. It asks us to chew upon both the rich meat and the tough gristle, and in doing so we walk away more whole than we began and thoroughly satisfied.

Free Download Principal Texts of the Khuddaka Nikāya, Volume 2 (Audiobook)
English | September 15, 2022 | ASIN: B0BD97H656 | [email protected] kbps | 25h 33m | 1.36 GB

This is Volume 2 of Dharma Audiobooks’ ground-breaking overview of Principal Texts of the Khuddaka Nikāya, the fifth section of the Sutta Pitaka in the Theravāda Pāli Canon. Far less known than the first four (Dīgha Nikāyā, Majjhima Nikāya, Saṁyutta Nikāya, Aṅguttara Nikāya) perhaps because of its character as an anthology rather than a self-contained work, it nevertheless contains gems which are only too easily overlooked or even underappreciated!
As with Volume 1, Volume 2 follows the traditional ordering of the individual works in the Khuddaka Nikāya, which makes for a curious, but invigorating collection. The first two texts, Therīgāthā and Theragāthā, present the traditional histories of the bhikkhunīs (nuns) and bhikkhus (monks) of the Buddha’s time. In each case, their biographies (written centuries later by Dharmapāla who had access to sources now lost) lead to verses ascribed to the real individuals on gaining nibbāna. Here are fascinating glimpses of life at the time of the Buddha.

The Khuddaka Nikāya is different in character from the other four Nikāyas of the Sutta Pitaka in the Theravada Pāli Canon in that rather than being a single work it is, as its customary translation ‘Minor Anthologies’ suggests, a collection of independent works. A true anthology!
It contains some of the most important and well-known works in the Pāli Canon, including the Dhammapada, the Udāna, the Sutta Nipāta and the Jātaka Tales; and, in some recensions, Milinda’s Questions. There are also other works less-known to many Buddhists and students of Buddhism, such as the Vimānavatthu, the Therīgāthā and the Theragāthā.
