catering to the needs of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and

to our company's standards.
We hope to bring authors a publishing experience that yields a
high quality trade paperback book that they are proud to call
their own with the minimum amount of stress for all involved.
One of our operating philosophies is that the author is involved
in every step of the publishing process, having input and being
kept informed on the progress of their manuscript, from start to
finish.
With the talents of a fine staff possessing years of publishing
experience, we offer the LGBT community professional publishing,
distribution, and fulfillment. Our goal is to feature the most
talented voices, both new and experienced, who are writing LGBT
literature today. Our books will be of the highest quality, and
our customer service will exceed all expectations.

Rebel Satori Press is an independent publisher of books on spirituality
and revolutionary personal transformation. We publish both
new/experimental fiction and creative/inspirational non-fiction.
Satori (Japanese; Chinese: wů) is a Zen term for enlightenment.
Literally translated, the word means “to understand.” Satori refers to
deep or lasting enlightenment. According to DT Suzuki, “Satori is the
raison d'etre of Zen, without which Zen is no Zen. Therefore every
contrivance, disciplinary and doctrinal, is directed towards satori.”
(An Introduction to Zen Buddhism, 1948) Satori can be found in every
moment of life, it is wrapped in all daily activities, its goal to
unwrap them to see satori.
The Zen Buddhist experience commonly recognizes enlightenment as a
transitory thing in life, almost synonymous with the English term
epiphany, and satori is the realization of a state of epiphanic
enlightenment. Because all things are transitory according to Zen
philosophy, however, the transitory nature of satori is not regarded as
limiting in the way that a transitory epiphany would be in Western
understandings of enlightenment.
The transitory nature of satori, as opposed to the more enduring Nirvana
that is sought in the Buddhist traditions of India, owes much to Taoist
influences on Chán Buddhism in China, from which Zen Buddhism of Japan
evolved. Taoism is a mystical philosophy that emphasizes the purity of
the moment, whereas the Hindu roots of Indian Buddhism lend a longer
view toward escaping the Karmic prison of perpetual reincarnation in the
material world.
