Flat Cat was born flat. He wasn't squashed by an out-of-control ice cream truck, or smushed in a waffle iron. He was just flat. This slick, sly cat could stray and roam anywhere he pleased, keen and unseen. And wouldn't you know it, Flat Cat liked it just like that. That is until one day, when Flat Cat accidentally fell splish splosh right in the wash. And when he emerged from the dryer, Flat Cat wasn't flat at all. He was adorably puffy and downright fluffy!

本書介紹這兩年內都是在疫情的肆虐下，完成了「與藥師佛的對話」和「與大日如來的對話」等著作。在2022年的年初也完成了「與白度母的對話」，筆者真心盼望寫完了這本書，也能終結Omicron的疫情，因為看到全世界的人類一直與冠狀病毒在拔河，病毒變異的速度永遠超過人類研發疫苗的速度。但人類不斷在與病毒對抗，那是否有靜下心來或停下腳步來思考--------「世界為什麼會變成這樣呢？」，這也是筆者陸續著作這三本書的目的，藉由疫情期間，重新找回人類生存的價值，甚至藉由精進地修法，再重新找回自己的本性，即一顆清淨無染的心。如果讀者朋友們，已經讀過筆者另外的一本書--------「與觀音的對話」，都知道書中都有談到「上等人」的品性與人格特質，都會幫助自己累積成功的資糧，會讓自己離苦得樂。其實「與白度母的對話」這本書裡，也具有相同的哲理，算是另外進階的修持方法。白度母是觀音菩薩左眼的淚水而化現成的，其法門都有相通之處。一般藏傳的仁波切或大德們，都有修持白度母法門，而得到長壽的功德利益，藉以實踐利他的精神，尤其在瘟疫肆虐時，非常適合修持白度母法門，不僅可以出入平安，化解障難和長壽健康，但最重要的前提是--------你需要發一個「利他」的心，希望全體人類都能躲過疫情，每個人身體健康又長壽，這個發願不僅利他又利己，也是行菩薩道的作為。「與白度母的對話」這本書裡，雖然只有二十一籤，除了可以卜卦之外，也可以每天逐一修持，此書是以「理」為主，不以密法為其架構，理一懂，法才能入心，再加以行之，之後修密才能得成就，否則法不入心，修什麼都不會有所成就。本書有詳加介紹持白度母心咒（長壽咒）或度母短咒的好處，況且筆者都有從中獲得到加持力，同時分享給有緣的讀者朋友們，一起為整個世界祈福，一起渡過疫情。Metta, Wendy Lin 2022.2.1（除夕夜）

★2023年 泰拉．維斯托獲頒美國國家人文獎章★《時代雜誌》2019年全球百大影響力人物★《紐約時報書評》2018年度十大好書之一★寫給所有曾被家庭、制度、過去定義的人她沒有上過學，沒有醫療紀錄，在政府眼中，她「不存在」。但她用十年時間，把命運重寫成──劍橋博士泰拉．維斯托（Tara Westover, 1986–）是楊百翰大學建校以來第三位獲得「蓋茲劍橋獎學金」的學生。然而，在這些成就之前，她的一生幾乎與「教育」毫無交集。她出生於美國愛達荷州山區，一個深信末世論與基本教義的摩門家庭。父親認為政府是陰謀、醫院是詐騙、學校會洗腦。九歲以前，她甚至沒有出生證明——依法律，她「不存在」。當其他孩子在教室裡學算術、寫作文，她在家裡的垃圾場分類鐵片、回收廢料；當別人受傷進醫院，他們家無論車禍、燒傷或腦震盪，全都仰賴母親調配的草藥治療。在那片偏遠山地裡，她的童年充滿危險與混亂，卻又被信仰與忠誠緊緊綁住。直到十五歲，逃家上大學的哥哥返家，目睹她長期承受兄長的暴力，才對她說出一句改變命運的話：「你在家裡待得愈久，愈沒有離開的機會。」那一年，泰拉開始自學。她在垃圾場工作結束的夜晚，獨自苦讀數學、文法與歷史，反覆練習 ACT 大學入學考試。最終，她考上了人生中第一所正式學校——楊百翰大學。然而，真正的震撼才正要開始。十七歲第一次上歷史課，第一次舉手問問題，才發現自己從未真正理解過「世界」，甚至連「大屠殺」這個詞都不曾聽過。那一刻，她第一次明白：教育不只是知識的累積，而是與無知對抗的勇氣。她一路考上劍橋大學並取得歷史博士學位，也曾赴哈佛擔任訪問學人，然而，越走向世界中心，她越清楚看見自己來自的地方——那個由恐懼、禁錮、忠誠與暴力交織而成的家庭。當她開始質疑家庭秩序、試圖說出真相，家人卻否認傷害、指控她被「文明汙染」，是叛徒、是瘋子。她終於理解：當一個家庭拒絕承認傷害，離開，可能是唯一的生存方式。《垃圾場長大的自學人生》不是一則勵志神話，而是一部直指教育本質的回憶錄。它讓人看見，教育的核心不在於精英制度，而在於是否能讓一個人擁有「自我」——能思考、能懷疑、能拒絕被定義。它同時也是一部隱約卻深刻的女性成長書寫：在父權、宗教與暴力重疊的世界裡，一個女孩如何奪回為自己命名的權力。泰拉寫下這本書，不是為了控訴，而是為了探問一個根本的問題：當你被教導的「歷史」全是謊言，你要如何重新書寫自己？這是一部

哈布斯堡家族，歐洲史上最顯赫、統治領域最廣的王室曾統治過神聖羅馬帝國、奧地利帝國、西班牙帝國等諸多國家，稱霸歐洲達六百年★華爾街日報、金融時報、每日電訊報、文學評論爭相報導★★Amazon4.1星級評價、Goodreads星級評論、豆瓣讀者好評★ 本書將綜覽全局，從十八世紀到第一次世界大戰，精闢剖析奧地利的哈布斯堡帝國是如何在一片充滿不同民族、不同文化的中歐，建立起一個統一的帝國。 哈布斯堡家族，歐洲歷史上最顯赫、統治領域最廣的王室，曾統治過神聖羅馬帝國、奧地利帝國、西班牙帝國等諸多國家，稱霸歐洲達六百年。本書將講述從十八世紀到第一次世界大戰，奧地利的哈布斯堡帝國是如何在一片充滿不同民族、不同文化的中歐，建立綿延數百年的統一帝國？帝國又該如何面對工業革命、啟蒙思潮、法國大革命等時代變局？ 作者賈德森以綜覽全局的視角，發前人所未發的觀點，重新評價哈布斯堡帝國，讓世人認識帝國為何曾在如此悠久的歲月裡，對中歐數千萬人如此的重要。在哈布斯堡帝國解體前的幾十年和解體後的幾十年，有些觀察家把帝國貶為由彼此敵視的族群勉強拼湊成、且運作不良的集合體，貶為與時代脫節的帝國遺物。賈德森探究他們的動機，說明這些批評者的看法錯得有多離譜。事實上，曾有無數常民百姓，跨越了語言、宗教、地域、歷史的藩籬，忠於他們的「帝國」；曾有眾多官員、軍人、政治人物、學界人士，想出別出心裁的辦法來解決治理歐洲第二大國的難題。 《哈布斯堡帝國》是本大膽的翻案之作，屏棄了正在形成之諸民族其流於片斷的歷史，審視政府是如何弭合族群間的差異和隔閡，為帝國帶來長治久安。哈布斯堡的君王支持建設新學校、法院、鐵路，推動科學、藝術，使皇帝的權威穩穩屹立於中歐的諸文化、諸經濟體裡。帝國全境日益提升的生活水平，也提高了哈布斯堡王朝統治的正當性，因為公民開始利用帝國的行政機構來造福自己的鄉里。 哈布斯堡帝國為了治理眾多的領邦和族群，祭出了諸多饒富新意的辦法，也遭遇許多解決不了的棘手問題。這些遺產仍深深影響帝國解體後繼之而起的中歐諸國，留下久久不消的印記。哈布斯堡帝國雖已逝去，但仍深深影響著現代的歐洲與世界。【國際書評】賈德森一舉掃除了哈布斯堡帝國老弱、衰退、與時代脫節的形象。這是自該帝國消失於歐洲地圖以來我們一直期盼的歷史著作。──塔拉．扎赫拉（Tara Zahra），芝加哥大學東歐歷史教授賈德森的著作以強烈的翻案精神和輕

對有在修密法的人來說，若以度母為本尊，這是本不可或缺的寶典；若所修的密法並非以度母為本尊，藉由閱讀本書，行者對藏傳佛教的認識將更為開闊，有益於獲得更多的修行助緣。對想了解密法的人，透過這本書，可揭開密法神祕的面紗。對沒有在接觸密法的人而言，這本書可增廣對佛教的認識。藏密金剛上師對於修持所作的開示是非常珍貴的，而這本書收錄了許多修持度母法門所需要具備的知見，更殊勝難得的是，這些開示是大成就者二世波卡仁波切親口宣說的。度母法門在書中稱之為「度母續」，透過這本精良的翻譯，可以直接從當代藏傳佛教慣用的語彙去理解藏密的義理，解答在修行「度母續」時所遇到的困惑。除了指導如何修行「度母續」，關於度母這個藏人心目中共同的本尊，書中亦有著豐富的介紹，舉凡度母感應的故事、度母的種類、度母的事業功德等等，對於不是「度母續」的行者，走在成就佛果的菩提大道上，在因緣的流轉下，仍能時時蒙受度母庇護。度母之於藏人，就好比觀世音菩薩之於華人社會的佛教徒，是那麼大慈大悲，救苦救難；從波卡仁波切的教導，可知其實是同一位菩薩在不同時代、不同國度，隨順因緣所示現的各種形象。另外，由於佛經中常有「女轉男身」的記載，讓人容易誤以為佛教有著男尊女卑的觀念。而本書中有提到為什麼主張眾生平等的佛陀，在講法時會講出有關「女轉男身」的話語；看了以後，便能更加建立對佛法的正知正見，以及懂得如何向他人解釋，以避免他人犯了毀謗佛法的過失。除此之外，書中更記載了印度、藏傳佛教史上傑出的女性，他們皆是學佛人的楷模；甚者，其實度母就是以女身證得佛果的菩薩。這本《波卡仁波切談度母》不僅有著詳實的內容，還附有非常多張精美的彩色度母法相，對修「度母續」的行者而言，於觀想，是很殊勝的助道品。此外，純粹誠心禮敬這些度母法相，也會蒙受度母的加被。書籍特色•這是一本介紹關於度母（梵Tara，藏Drolma）及其內涵的書。•波卡仁波切(Bokar Rinpoche)介紹了度母所化現的各種不同形相以及度母續的來源，讓讀者得以理解度母如何對人們的生活產生影響。•收錄了仁波切對度母續的完整修持法，也詮釋《二十一聖救度佛母禮讚文》的意義。

發覺自己總是陷入自我批評嗎？這很可能不是你的錯心理學家教你用正向對話取代自我批評，重置內在的聲音，消除內隱偏見，不再被抑鬱、焦慮與恐懼困住我是不是很沒用？這樣做別人會怎麼看我？為什麼我就是什麼都做不好？――明明心很累，為什麼就是沒辦法放鬆看待一切？自我批評是一種長年累積的習慣。我們在無意中產生的負面偏見、自我保護的意識、過度比較或過度謙虛、遭受欺壓……等情緒，都會讓自我批評出現。我們深信自我批判能激勵自己成長，但事實恰好相反。想要減少自我批評，你需要培養自我對話的習慣自我對話是一種以友善、鼓勵的態度來對待自己的方式，包含．自我評價或自尊：看待自己或自身行為是好是壞．自我意識：有意識地感知自己的想法、情緒和行為．自我慈悲：善待並理解自己，尤其在面臨失敗或困境的時候自我對話能夠有效減少花費在評價自己及跟他人比較上的時間和精力，幫助自己平復焦慮與憂鬱。這本由心理學家與正念導師撰寫的書，結合六種正念對話練習與針對不同糾結點的自我開解技巧，幫助你脫離由自我批評主導的思維，以健康的自我對話陪伴自己。當生活已經感到很辛苦的時候，當世界的惡意已經很滿的時候，我們要先對自己更溫柔一點。專家好評「瑞秋．高史密斯．圖羅提供簡單、具變革性的練習，會讓你一遍又一遍地重溫。」――塔拉．布萊克（Tara Brach），《全然接受這樣的我》作者「這本書透過明確的科學途徑培養自我慈悲。對於任何企圖尋找希望和友善新泉源的人來說是很好的資源。」――蕭娜．夏比洛 （Shauna Shapiro），《訓練大腦，讓自己更強大》作者「如果你曾經問自己『我夠好嗎？』或有過『我應該對自己好一點』的想法，那你應該會想看看這本書。瑞秋．圖羅本身經歷過並研究自我批判的影響，她的文字充滿同情，並且以科學為依據。」――雪倫．薩爾茲堡（Sharon Salzberg），《靜心冥想的練習》作者「鑑於我們內心的聲音在精神層面的重要性，我們很幸運能求助於圖羅博士睿智且富有同情心的指導。有些字句就是有辦法抓人眼球，你便可以從這些練習中體會到鬆了口氣的滋味。圖羅博士證明了我們的內心生活比我們想像的更具可塑性，即使我們的自我對話只是多了點改變，也能使我們的生活發生巨大變化。」――馬修．布倫希爾（Matthew Brensilver），《賦予青少年自信的正念課》（Teaching Mindfulness to Empower Adolesc
