Note: A newer 10th anniversary edition of Seeing That Frees is now available. This revised edition includes a new foreword by Yahel Avigur as well as previously unpublished reflections from Rob Burbea. In this ground-breaking and seminal work esteemed Buddhist teacher Rob Burbea lays out an original and comprehensive approach to deepening insight. Starting from simple and easily accessible understandings of emptiness Burbea presents a unique conception of the path along which he escorts the practitioner gradually through the careful structure of the work into ever more mystical levels of insight. Through its precise instructions illuminating exercises and discussions that address the subtleties of both practice and understanding Seeing That Frees opens up for the committed meditator all the profundity of the Buddha s radical teachings on emptiness. This is a book that will take time to digest and will serve as a lifelong companion on the path leading the reader as it does progressively deeper into the territory of liberation. From the Foreword by Joseph Goldstein: Rob Burbea in this remarkable book proves to be a wonderfully skilled guide in exploring the understanding of emptiness as the key insight in transforming our lives... It is rare to find a book that explores so deeply the philosophical underpinnings of awakening at the same time as offering the practical means to realize it.

In an age where church discipline has fallen out of favor in the context of many churches Eric Bargerhuff calls the church to a deeper understanding of its nature and purpose as an expression of God s fatherly love towards his people. As a biblically mandated activity instituted by Christ himself in Matthew 18 church discipline is an essential practice of any faithful church that is committed to sharing the Gospel and making disciples. Tackling some of the false notions and assumptions surrounding church discipline Bargerhuff sets forth a historical biblical theological and practical position that centers its identity and purpose on a proper understanding of the cross of Christ. Since the punitive wrath of God was poured out for sin on the cross of Jesus Christ (a penal substitutionary atonement) it is therefore necessary to reject the notion that church discipline is punishment but rather it should be seen as God s hand of forgiveness and grace extended for the purpose of restoring reconciling and rescuing one of his own a sheep that has gone astray. It is to be regarded as God s love in the actions of a forgiven and forgiving community.

Revisiting ten notable days from recent history Aaron W. Hughes invites readers to think about the tensions events and personalities that make Canada distinct. These indelible dates interweave to offer an account of the political social cultural and demographic forces that have shaped the modern nation. The diverse episodes include the enactment of the War Measures Act hockey s Summit Series the patriation of the Constitution the Multiculturalism Act the École Polytechnique Massacre victories for gay rights Quebec s second referendum on secession The Tragically Hip s farewell concert the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and ongoing Black equality struggles. Each day represents a window on contemporary Canada jumpstarting reflection and conversation about who we are as a nation and how we got here. Ten Days That Shaped Modern Canada is the perfect guide for all those curious about the forces that shape our country and about how we understand our place in the world. The list of significant days are: - The 13th of October 1970. The day that then Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau uttered the phrase Just watch me when asked by a CBC reporter about how far he intended to go to end the FLQ crisis [Front de libération du Québec]. Three days later he invoked the War Measures Act that curtailed the civil liberties of Canadians across the country. - The 28th of September 1972. The day Paul Henderson scored his famous goal in the dying seconds of the final game with the Russians in Moscow to win the Summit Series for Canada at the height of Cold War. The come-from-behind victory--which united the nation in a way never seen before--revealed as much about Cold War politics as it did about contrasting hockey styles. - The 17th of April 1982. The day that the Constitution was patriated and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms enshrined within. The Charter would go on to shape many features of Canadian life including preventing discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and allowing women safe and legal access to terminate their pregnancies. - The 21st of July 1988. The day that the Multiculturalism Act was signed into law thereby continuing the trend of transforming what had been a largely white and Christian Canada into one of the most diverse countries on earth. - The 6th of December 1989. The day of the École Polytechnic massacre in Montreal which began a national conversation on violence against women and subsequently led to a debate on gun ownership. - The 25th of May 1995. The day the Supreme Court of Canada ruled on Egan v. Canada a case brought to the Supreme Court by two gay men who sued Ottawa for the right to claim a spousal pension under the Old Age Security Act. Though the court ruled against them all nine judges agreed that sexual orientation was a protected ground and that protection extends to partnerships of lesbians and gay men paving the way for same-sex unions and the redefinition of marriage. - The 30th of October 1995. The day that the Quebec Referendum brought Canada to the brink of a constitutional crisis one towards which it had been moving for years. - The 2nd of June 2015. The day that the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) released its summary report that documented decades of injustices against Indigenous populations in for example the residential school system and that set a path forward for reconciliation. - The 20th of August 2016. The day of The Tragically Hip s Last Concert in the band s hometown of Kingston ON. The Hip a band for which at least the Anglophone part of country had a special place in its heart because of among other things its Canadian-infused lyrics had often functioned as
