Artha-shastra is about generating food, i.e. wealth, by creating goods and services; Kama-shastra is about indulging our hungers with this food. Dharma-shastra insists we consider the hunger of others, while Moksha-shastra is about outgrowing our hungers, in order to be detached and generous...

Come possiamo vivere meglio, appieno, e trovare il senso profondo della nostra esistenza? Come possiamo sentirci felici nonostante i problemi e le preoccupazioni quotidiane? Questo audiolibro cerca di dare qualche risposta a queste domande, di farci vedere la vita da un altro punto di vista, di darci una mano in questi tempi in cui l'incertezza sembra essere l'unica certezza. Che siamo buddisti o meno, alla fine non ha alcuna importanza. L'importante è che possiamo dare e trovare la lifefulness, la felicità in questo mondo. Tutto il resto è secondario.

The wisdom goddesses of yoga who embody shakti, or sacred energy, continue to gain popularity as we become familiar with the ways they help us break through negativity, trauma, and dysfunction to attain self-love, peace, and abundance. Yet, we rarely hear about Sri Radha and her unique position as the primal Shakti because she is hidden deep within the Upanishads, Tantras, and Puranas as their most confidential spiritual subject.

 Buddhism asserts that we each have the potential to free ourselves from the prison of our problems. As practiced for more than 2,600 years, the process involves working with, rather than against, our depression, anxiety, and compulsions. We do this by recognizing the habitual ways our minds perceive and react - the way they mislead. The lively exercises and inspiring real-world examples Cayton provides can help you transform intractable problems and neutralize suffering by cultivating a radically liberating self-understanding. 

Who was the 20th-century Indian sage known as Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi? How did he attain enlightenment and become one of the most celebrated spiritual masters of his time?

A collection of essays on the Hindu/Buddhist view of humankind's place in the universe. As the author says in his introduction: "in these papers, it may be hoped, western readers will have an opportunity of coming into touch with the ancient spirit of India as revealed in our sacred texts and manifested in the life of to-day." Most of the essays were given as lectures before Harvard University in 1916 or before.

Lama Yeshe tells us that mahamudra is “the universal reality of emptiness, of nonduality” and its unique characteristic is its emphasis on meditation: “With mahamudra meditation there is no doctrine, no theology, no philosophy, no God, no Buddha. Mahamudra is only experience.” As always, Lama Yeshe’s words are direct, funny, and incredibly encouraging. He gets us to go beyond ego’s addiction to a limited sense of self and to taste the lightness and expansiveness of our own true nature.

Aber wo genau ist "zu Hause?" Und könnte man sich nicht vielleicht auch in der Fremde daheim fühlen? Der kleine Buddha überlegt, was "zu Hause" sein wirklich bedeutet. Dazu begibt er sich von seinem Lieblingsplatz unter dem Bodhi-Baum auf eine weitere Reise und damit zugleich auf die abenteuerliche Suche nach der eigenen Heimat. Unterwegs trifft der kleine Buddha über die Begegnung mit verschiedenen Menschen auch auf ganz unterschiedliche Ansichten und Vorstellungen vom eigenen Zuhause: "Zuhause" kann ein Ort sein, aber auch die ganze Welt, eine einzelne Person, vielleicht nur ein Gefühl.

We are face to face with this great world, and our relations to it are manifold. One of these is the necessity we have to live, to till the soil, to gather food, to clothe ourselves, to get materials from nature. We are always making things that will satisfy our needs, always in touch with this great world through hunger and thirst. Then, we have our mind; and our mind seeks its own food. It must find out reason in things, faced with a multiplicity of facts, and bewildered when it cannot find one unifying principle which simplifies the heterogeneity of things.

In Game of Life, Kin Lau examines disparate ideas from philosophy, psychology, and religions from both East and West that can engage the individual on a common path. The game of life is to be played in two modes. One mode is playing as a human, which is the mode we are exerting all of our time and effort. For a more complete and integrated way of living, human beings need to rediscover the other mode. The other mode is about our being, which involves understanding the nature of reality.

Written by Wayne Liquorman with characteristic humor, irreverence, and profound insight, this audiobook provides a bold new look at the nature of existence. If one wants to remain in the moment, what does one do about the mind? Never mind! The mind does what the mind does. It is working and functioning perfectly, doing exactly what it has been designed and programmed to do. The audiobook hammers away at the basic misconceptions that bring about human suffering - I could have and should have done it differently, I am flawed, I am the author of my thoughts, feelings, and actions.

Your immutable path to victory! All 10 precepts in this concise audiobook cut to the heart of ending physical confrontations as quickly as possible with empty-hand techniques. Our definition of "ending" is to make the attack stop. There is no running after the now-fleeing assailant to catch and strike him down. There is no lesson, no teaching, no therapy, no epiphany. There is only making that bad guy stop what he is doing instantly so that you and those you care about will be safe. These 10 principles are style-agnostic and all about ending fights immediately.

Caring is something we and our world urgently need. We know real caring when we experience it, but our way of life - or perhaps our way of relating to our minds - seems to leave us feeling profoundly uncared for. Lacking care ourselves, we begin to lose our ability to care for others.

"Penetre" heißt der Kater, der so seltsam ist wie sein Name. Er spricht die Sprache der Menschen, doch worüber diese gewöhnlich reden, spricht er nie. Noch kein einziges Mal hat man ihn sagen hören, dass er hungrig sei oder müde. Dafür geht es um Fragen wie: Warum lebt der Mensch?, Was ist Glück?, Muss man zur Arbeit gehen?, Ist die Erde wirklich rund? oder Was passiert, wenn wir sterben? Seine Meinungen unterscheiden sich vollkommen von denen der Menschen.
