Many years ago, as I knelt in front of my Master, I received the instruction to teach and offer Dhamma so that all beings could benefit.
Later still I began sharing these teachings on Facebook.
Here then, is a collection of those daily reminders to support everyone on their own Dhamma Path.

a bouddhist training for daily life.
The Other Shore transcends both time and culture to bring to us the voice of the Buddha. How did he really speak? What words did he use to share his teaching?
Written by a former Theravada Buddhist monk this book takes us to the heart of Gotama, before and after his enlightenment, and emphasises a life of love, awareness and sustained effort, until we ourselves reach the other shore.

To be a true spiritual seeker we must bring our practice into daily life.
What does it really mean to say “I am a Buddhist”, and how as Westerners, can we demonstrate our faith in this path on our own journey to enlightenment? This is a practical guide for the Western lay Buddhist on how to bring the Dhamma into every moment of our lives, to celebrate our lives and to share our joy with the world.
To bring the real message of the Buddha into our twenty-first century lives we have to go beyond the religious and symbolic aspects of the teaching. We have to apply these teachings in every situation and walk step by step, on this beautiful path of awareness and love.

A home practice course to empower the mind and enhance our life.
Vipassana, or insight meditation, reveals to us that the greatest power in the universe is the mind itself, and that it can be our best friend or greatest enemy.

Michael Kewley shows us how we can joyfully and lovingly use the power of the mind to bring all the things we want for ourselves in life, whether psychologically, emotionally, or materially.
This small book offers an inspiring affirmation of the life enhancing practice of Vipassana meditation.

A collection of thirteen short Dhamma Talks.
Meditation teachings written with a warmth and clarity that makes them easy to understand. Everyday life situations are used to deepen our understanding of the art of mindful living.
“The goal of spiritual pursuit is wisdom, the arising of insight, and the ability to live peacefully in the world, whatever circumstances present themselves. Attempting to create only preconceived conditions for spiritual development is doomed to failure, and can only result in frustration and disappointment. If spiritual practice is to have any real and lasting value, it must include everything, every aspect of life. As our understanding deepens we can see that nothing is outside Dhamma, all the good things and all the bad. We don`t need to get rid of all our possessions, but we do need to examine our attachment to them. We don`t need to get rid of our family and friends, but we do need to understand our resentment towards them. With the arising of wisdom we can recognise that all the things we thought were obstacles to personal development are in fact, the very things that will lead us to it.” Michael Kewley.

and other teachings from the Spiritual Heart.
A disciple went to his master one day and asked, What am I? The master answered, Not this. On hearing those words the disciple was enlightened.
The author of this book is a respected teacher of Vipassana meditation. He writes with simplicity and practicality on what is truth, pursuit of the spiritual life, and meditation and insight, illustrating his themes with stories and humour.
Enlightenment is not in some special time or place. It is right here with us, right now. All we have to do is turn to it. To be it. It is not about creating special qualities and gaining something magical. It is about allowing the beautiful qualities we already have to come forth, and not permit ego and conceit to stand in their way. And so I don`t say develop love, I say be loving. I don`t say develop compassion, I say be compassionate. I don`t say develop wisdom, I say be wise. Everything you want you already have. There is nothing to get, only that which can be realised. Treasures are rare and precious. You yourself are a treasure house filled with the most beautiful things. Open your own treasure house and use those treasures. Be happy – now. Michael Kewley.
