Hoe kan het dat de arrogante collega, die iedereen slecht behandelt, toch succes heeft en de carrièreladder beklimt? Hoe kan het dat de moeder, die altijd taart aan de buren geeft, haar kind verliest? Het boeddhisme biedt een andere verklaring: Karma. Er zijn verbanden zoals "Doe goed, en goed zal je overkomen" of "Karma heeft geen vervaldatum". Het idee van karma helpt ons de bovenstaande voorbeelden te plaatsen, het levenspad te begrijpen en gerechtigheid te erkennen.

Questa affermazione è familiare a tutti noi. Tuttavia, a volte la vita ci sembra ingiusta. Alcune persone attribuiscono questi eventi della vita al destino, alla ricompensa o alla punizione. Tuttavia, il buddhismo offre una spiegazione diversa: il karma. Ci sono connessioni come «Fai del bene, e il bene ti accadrà» o «Il karma non ha data di scadenza». Perché il concetto di karma ci aiuta a collocare gli esempi di cui sopra, a comprendere il corso della vita e a riconoscere la giustizia.

Having realized, as a 16 year old in pre-WWII London, that he was a Buddhist, the early life of Dennis Lingwood and his path to becoming a bhikkhu named Sangharakshita is a most extraordinary personal story.

El Bardo thodol, más conocido en Occidente como El libro tibetano de los muertos, es una guía de instrucciones para los moribundos y los muertos que, según la creencia del budismo tántrico del Tíbet, permite alcanzar la iluminación durante el periodo inmediato posterior a la muerte y por algunos días más, a fin de evitar renacer e ingresar nuevamente al samsara, pues se considera que la muerte dura 49 días y después de ello sobreviene un renacimiento en el ciclo de la reencarnación.

This is not an ordinary biography of the Buddha. In his characteristically individual manner, Urgyen Sangharakshita - the leading English-born Buddhist teacher and founder of the Triratana Buddhist Community - recounts the known details of the Buddha's life but enriches the story with contemporary relevance. Unpicking the threads of historical and mythical information, he considers the underlying meaning in terms of 21st-century life - and its effect on personal practice today.

Some 25 centuries after the Buddha started teaching, his message continues to inspire people across the globe, including those living in predominantly secular societies.

The time has come, he feels, to articulate a coherent, ethical, contemplative, and philosophical vision of Buddhism for our age.

In this modern spiritual classic, the Tibetan meditation master Chögyam Trungpa highlights the commonest pitfall to which every aspirant on the spiritual path falls prey: what he calls spiritual materialism. The universal tendency, he shows, is to see spirituality as a process of self-improvement - the impulse to develop and refine the ego when the ego is, by nature, essentially empty. "The problem is that ego can convert anything to its own use," he said, "even spirituality."
