Description
In the great Tibetan monasteries of Lhasa, monks seeking to purify their minds and develop the understanding necessary for final enlightenment began their inquiry into mind and consciousness by studying The Presentation of Awareness and Knowledge. Through understanding the nature of the mind and the process of cognition, inner peace can be attained. This text, plus Lati Rinbochay's rich and extensive commentary, give a comprehensive explanation of the nature and function of the mind, the different types of mind and mental factors, and how we develop knowledge and understanding. In her, introduction Elizabeth Napper gives an overview of the principal divisions of consciousness and mind.

你叔本華系的？跟著叔本華看海海人生
By 劉燁叔本華，十九世紀的德國非理性主義哲學大師， 號稱史上最毒舌的哲學家， 他被後世定位為悲觀主義大師， 然而他充滿智慧的話語卻令人讀來猶如當頭棒喝， 為我們在挫折連連的世界裡，打開一扇又一扇的幸福之窗。 對於人生，他形容人生就像一個鐘擺，從痛苦擺到無聊。 談到秘密，他說千萬不要予以公開，因為不告訴敵人的事，也別告訴朋友。 關於處世，他認為絕不要辯駁別人，因為即使你智商再高，也不可能一件件糾正他。 尼采曾這樣讚美叔本華：「我一翻開叔本華的書，就好像馬上長出了一對翅膀」， 卡夫卡說：「叔本華是一個語言藝術家，僅僅因為他的語言，我們就應該無條件地讀他的著作。」 被諸位大師如此推崇的叔本華，其智慧結晶都集結在這本《叔本華的智慧》裡， 本書從人性出發，探討叔本華人生、處世、待人以及愛恨等領域的智慧話語， 深入淺出的語句，不僅讓你能一窺大師堂奧， 也能藉由這些思想，更進一步掌握自己的幸福人生。
