Some 25 centuries after the Buddha started teaching, his message continues to inspire people across the globe, including those living in predominantly secular societies. What does it mean to adapt religious practices to secular contexts? Stephen Batchelor, an internationally known author and teacher, is committed to a secularized version of the Buddha's teachings. The time has come, he feels, to articulate a coherent, ethical, contemplative, and philosophical vision of Buddhism for our age.

The Tree of Wisdom by Nagarjuna is a treatise on morals and ethics written over 2,000 years ago. It is about the love you find and how you share it with others. It's about how you're going to spend your time, about the give-and-take, and how we treat each other. It's all about the friends you make. It's all about the choices you make. It's on the importance of forgiving and being forgiven. To live a life that is pure in faith and heart. To strive to stay on the path. To find the way of the masters that have gone before us.

Buddhism is more than a religious concept! Buddhism is essentially hailed to be a "way of life" which aims at helping people gain a deeper understanding of how things are to be tackled and dealt with. In this book, we are going to talk about the different ideals of Buddhism and the key principles. Buddhism is becoming hugely popular even in most western countries because it seems to have answers to most of the materialistic problems which the world is facing.

In Tibet werden die Worte großer Meister in Büchern gesammelt, die den Titel "Ratschläge des Herzens" tragen. Diese Tradition greift der Dalai Lama hier auf. Was dabei herauskommt, was sich so verständlich und schlicht anhört, ist nichts weniger als die Summe seiner Gedanken - Gedanken, die jeden von uns auf seinem Weg begleiten können, egal, woher wir kommen und was wir glauben.

This treasury of essential Buddhist writings draws from the most popular Indian, Tibetan, Chinese, and Japanese sources.

Easing into the Dhammapada, the second title in the Easing Into Collection, is and introduction to one of the oldest scriptures of the Buddhist canon. Rather than working through the Dhammapada chapter by chapter, the author guides you through the verses thematically so you'll have a strong grasp of the content of the scripture. She cites where the great ideas appear and invites you into further study. Responsive poetry and at least five questions posed at the end of each chapter help stimulate small group interaction or individual journaling experiences.

Selbst- und Welterkenntnis im Sinne Buddhas: Die hier zusammengestellten Lehren von Buddha haben seit Jahrtausenden das menschliche Denken verändert und bewegt. Buddha ist einer der größten Weisheitslehrer der Menschheitsgeschichte. Der Mönch spricht von den "vier Wahrheiten", von dem Weg der Reinheit, dem Glück und der großen Stille der Seele. Ein Werk für alle, die durch meditative und spirituelle Erfahrungen den Weg zu sich selbst finden möchten. Vor etwa 2500 Jahren wurde Gautama Buddha in Nordindien geboren.

Der Heilsweg des Buddha ist ein Weg zur Weisheit und zur Erlösung des Einzelnen. Am Anfang der Lehre stand die Einsicht, dass die Welt in ihrer Vergänglichkeit ein Ort des Leidens sei. Die Lehrtätigkeit des Buddha erfolgte aus unendlichem Mitleid, um Wege aus dem Kreislauf des Leidens zu finden, in dem alle Lebewesen durch ihre Unwissenheit gefangen sind.

In our increasingly secular world, holy texts are at best seen as irrelevant, and at worst as an excuse to incite violence, hatred and division. So what value, if any, can Scripture hold for us today? And if our world no longer seems compatible with Scripture, is it perhaps because its original purpose has become lost? Today we see the Quran being used by some to justify war and terrorism, the Torah to deny Palestinians the right to live in the Land of Israel, and the Bible to condemn homosexuality and contraception.

Practical instruction, brief and to the point, is found in each of the verse commentaries.

The Dīghanikāya or Long Discourses of the Buddha is one of the four major collections of teachings from the early period of Buddhism. Its 34 suttas (in Sanskrit, sutras) demonstrate remarkable breadth in both content and style, forming a comprehensive collection.
