We will be gradually building up this page with a selection of thought-provoking books and films. Here are a few books and a film to be going on with.
The Guru Papers by Kramer and Alstad (book) - takes the lid of authoritarian power wielded in the name of spirituality.
Siddhartha by Herman Hesse (book) - a poetic novel which speaks up for the flow of life.
Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism by Trungpa Rimpoche (book) - exposes the way acquisitiveness is just as prevalent in "spirituality" as all other areas of life.
Verses from the Center by Stephen Batchelor (book) - a poetic translation of Nagarjuna which will rejoice the hearts of all who see a great opening in scepticism and ecstatic nihilism!
I Love Huckabees (film) - a comedy which underlines the inherent absurdity of "self-improvement".
