www.RainbowBridgeBooks.com www.LisetteLarkins.com
Difficult people have been, for most of us, the bane of our existence and provoke various degrees of unhealthy reaction. What few of us have realized is that they also mirror our own dysfunctional mental states and provide an opportunity to heal them. In "Difficult People", Lisette Larkins tells her story about providing care for an Alzheimer's patient, which clearly demonstrates the way every mind resists and objects to what is - the root cause of all our mental suffering. Inspired by the works of Eckhart Tolle, Larkins provides a guide to using everyday problems for spiritual awakening and "practicing presence." Larkins has had extraordinary paranormal experiences since childhood which she has written about in her three previous books.

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 ñtruth is a pathless landî and that his sole mission was ñto set men . . . unconditionally free.î 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.

WHERE TO PARK NEAR THE BODHI TREE BOOKSTORE
Dear 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. A variety of parking is available: metered spaces, some spaces at particular times in the permit parking areas, Valet parking, parking structures and spaces in front of the former Used Book Building. All this is explained in detail in the "Parking" section on the Bodhi Tree web site in the "Events" section.
Valet Parking: The City of West Hollywood, the Urth Caffe, 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 until 11:00 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 down the street for some beautiful paper.
