The "Radical Aliveness" process integrates techniques from "Core Energetics" - a powerful body-based process that works with somatic energy. Learn these techniques in order to help you feel your resistance, understand the wounds that caused it, and learn to trust.

www.Penguin.com www.MatteoPistono.com
"In the Shadow of the Buddha" is part undercover reporting, part spiritual biography, and brings together Matteo Pistono's quest to uncover long-hidden spiritual truths and real-time violations of religious freedom in Tibet. It is a book about Tibet through the eyes of a devotee - a stranger hiding in plain sight. It's about how a culture's rich spiritual past is slipping away against the force of a tyrannical future. It's about how Tibetans live today, and the tenacity of their faith in the future in spite of dire repression and abuse. It's also about Pistono's own journey of merging political activism with Buddhist mysticism, and about a man who traveled thousands of miles and risked his own life to pursue freedom and peace.

KRISHNAMURTI FRIENDS OF LOS ANGELES presents "A PROGRAM OF VIDEO AND DIALOGUE"
Video & Dialogue: $10 Suggested Donation.
For Info: (310) 650-5079 or kdialogue@roadrunner.com
This program starts with a video of Krishnamurti (approximately one hour), then seeks to explore the topic of the video via the medium of dialogue. With the focus on "what is" rather than on ideas and opinions, the intention is to inquire together in such a way that new insights may occur in relation to fundamental questions of life.
Discovered as a boy by the Theosophical Society, Krishnamurti was groomed to be the new World Teacher, a role he repudiated in 1929 when he declared that "truth is a pathless land" and that his sole mission was "to set men . . . unconditionally free." For the rest of his life, he traveled the world exploring the issues of our common humanity with large audiences and invited participants. He had a special interest in education and founded schools in India, England, and California. Krishnamurti died in Ojai in 1986. His teachings are disseminated world-wide through the Krishnamurti Foundation.

Bodhi News Part 4: FUTURE OF THE BODHI TREE BOOKSTORE
The Bodhi Tree Bookstore is undergoing a transition. Sales for the Bodhi Tree Bookstore have been declining for more than a decade. In the last two years, sales have been drastically low and the Bodhi Tree Bookstore has been operating at a loss. Looking for ways to provide financial relief, we entered into an agreement to sell the buildings and property, but not the bookstore, with a closing date of November 2011. We will be open as usual until the fall of 2011. We have opened discussions with a few energetic and visionary individuals and groups all capable of moving the bookstore into its future form.

Where to park near the Bodhi Tree Bookstore
WHERE TO PARK NEAR THE BODHI TREE BOOKSTORE:
Friends of the Bodhi Tree,
One of the most common problems of life in Los Angeles is finding a parking space. Here's a guide that we hope will make it easier for you to park and help you avoid getting a parking ticket when visiting the Bodhi Tree Bookstore in West Hollywood. Park cautiously and feel free to ask us where and when you may park.
The Bodhi Tree Bookstore has three customer parking spaces in front of the former Used Book building on Westbourne Avenue. Metered street parking is generally available. In addition, there are two parking structures ( Pacific Design Center and West Hollywood park/Library Parking Structure), and Valet parking. See below for details.
VALET PARKING:
The City of West Hollywood, the Urth Caffé, the Bodhi Tree Bookstore and other local merchants have a community valet parking program.
The pick-up area is in front of the Bodhi Tree Annex building at 8583 Melrose Avenue.
The cost is $5.00 and it is in operation from 10:30 am to 11 pm.
Consider using valet parking the next time you want to visit not only the Bodhi Tree Bookstore but also Kitson, Waterworks and Mansour across the street, followed by a visit to Soolip for some beautiful paper. There are many interesting stores in the area. Finally, before heading home, you can relax with a wonderful "caffé" at Urth or Le Pain Quotidien. Through valet parking, you may "forget" about your car for long time.
How to park for free: The Bodhi Tree Bookstore offers a "help you park" program. We will reimburse or credit the basic Valet fee ($5.00) for a minimum purchase of $15.00.
PACIFIC DESIGN CENTER PARKING STRUCTURE:
