There's a lot you probably don't know about the Buddha. For one, the real Buddha was thin. And before he became the "Enlightened One", he was a pampered prince named Siddhartha. He tried starving himself in his quest for inner peace, but found that extremes brought him no closer to enlightenment. Instead, he sought a "middle way" between unhealthy overindulgence and unrealistic abstinence. The instructions he gave his monks about eating, more than 2,500 years ago, were surprisingly simple.

According to the Buddha, no one can attain basic sanity or enlightenment without practicing meditation.

Death is not waiting for us at the end of a long road. Death is always with us, in the marrow of every passing moment.

Mudita, Wheel Publicaton No. 170, contains several short essays, one by the editor, Ven. Nyanaponika, and three by lay practitioners on one of the lesser known and too-little practiced sublime states of mind. Mudita, usually translated "sympathetic joy", was designated one of the brahma-viharas by the Buddha, one of the sublime, noble states of mind. How is it to be practiced, and what are the implications of mudita on the spiritual path? These essays address those questions.

Self-Inquiry provides practical methods for making use of abiding inner silence (the Witness) cultivated in deep meditation, resulting in increased inner stability and happiness amidst the ups and downs of life. The practice of self-inquiry also aids us in realizing the ultimate truth of existence - the oneness that we are and the unity of all that exists. With the dawn of the Witness, we develop an increasing ability to observe our thoughts as objects.

Wisdom in Exile provides a new insight into Buddhism's encounter with Western culture and the Western mind in the early 21st century. Jampa Thaye has trained for over 40 years with some of the foremost lamas of Tibetan Buddhism, yet is a Westerner, living in Britain, teaching Buddhism to students throughout Europe and North America. He draws on that knowledge and experience to explain the space that now exists for Buddhism in the West, and identifies critical conflicts and tensions that must be resolved for modern Westerners to grasp the essence of the Buddhist teachings.

With a rich history stretching back over 2,500 years, Buddhism has been described both as a system of psychology and a philosophy for living. Yet most of us think of it as a religion. What is Buddhism? How is it practiced? Can it help you today? On The Beginner's Guide to Buddhism, author and...

Many of us speak to ourselves in demeaning and hurtful ways, using language we would never use with anyone else.

Howard Fast began to formally practice Zen meditation after turning away from communism in 1956. The Art of Zen Meditation, originally published by the antiwar political collective Peace Press, in 1977, is the fruit of Fast’s study: a brief and instructive history of Zen Buddhism and its tenets, written with a simplicity that is emblematic of the philosophy itself. Fast’s study of Zen also inspired his popular Masao Masuto mystery series about a Zen Buddhist detective in Beverly Hills.

A szerzú Mindenki másképp egyforma című könyve - és az ez alapján készült hangoskönyvünk is - a racionális gondolkodásról szól, jóllehet ilyesmi talán nem is létezik, hiszen az emberi gondolkodás alapvetően nem racionális. A keleti világszemlélet szerint az emberi lelkeket a nirvánába jutás vezérli. De hogy végül is mi a nirvána, arról megoszlanak a nézetek. Talán ezért is oly gyakran idézett a mondás: "Sok út vezet a nirvánába". A világ bonyolult. Mi emberek pedig sokfélék vagyunk, ugyanakkor elképesztően egyformák is.

Our minds are rebellious. The mind exists as though it has a mind of its own. Once you try to control the mind, it repels our efforts in ways that we cannot understand. Consequently, through meditation, this can be solved. Looking at the bigger picture, meditation not only helps in learning how to control the mind. It also assists in helping people take control of their lives. Frankly, we all seek happiness in this life. However, we are often confused with the direction that we ought to take. This happens because there is a lot that we have to deal with.

Con questo audiobook conoscerai e approfondirai la filosofia del buddismo e scoprirai la sua interpretazione della vita. Sono essenzialmente due gli aspetti nei quali si mostra la distanza della cultura buddhista sull'esistenza rispetto a quella occidentale: Il dualismo anima e corpo (e, di conseguenza, i dualismi connessi di vita e morte, tempo e eternità); la dimensione soteriologica, cioè salvifica, della religione.

Il mandala è il simbolo fondamentale della cultura buddista, è il sacro diagramma mistico, la raffigurazione schematica della struttura dell'universo. Nel mandala si attua lo schema del cosmo e della psiche, l'archetipo dell'universo e della mente, che è uno solo, patrimonio comune di tutta l'umanità. Visualizzando il mandala e meditando, il mistico dissolve le apparenze e rinasce come mandala: corpo, voce, mente e mandala non sono più entità separate. La visualizzazione del mandala introduce il mistico a una nuova dimensione spaziale e temporale.

Mindfulness è la brillante interpretazione in lingua inglese di Sati, parola in lingua pali che può essere tradotta appunto come "piena consapevolezza" o "attenzione presente e attiva". Nella sua forma più originaria la Mindfulness è ascritta in una precisa cultura spirituale, quella buddista, e la sua pratica trova la sua genesi nella prima scaturigine del buddismo, fondato sulle Quattro Nobili Verità e sull'Ottuplice Sentiero, l'insegnamento etico del buddhismo, che guida la pratica di vita dell'individuo. La Sati, o Mindfulness, è il settimo "elemento" del percorso.
