In der heutigen Zeit ist es für viele Menschen nicht einfach, durch den Alltag zu kommen. Es wird uns viel abverlangt, wir sind immer unter Druck und gestresst, eilen von einem zum anderen und am Abend sind wir ausgelaugt und vielleicht sogar unzufrieden. Vielleicht geht es sogar um die Beziehung oder die Ehe, in der der Zauber des Besonderen einfach verflogen ist. Sie haben sich wegen solcher Probleme entschieden, in den Buddhismus einzusteigen, um mit der kraftvollen Lebensphilosophie mehr Entspannung, Lebensfreude und Zufriedenheit zu erreichen.

Si le mot " zen " a pris place dans notre vocabulaire, son sens est très éloigné de la pratique d'une sagesse orientale qui se fonde sur une discipline stricte du corps et de l'esprit afin de voir clair dans sa propre nature. Zen signifie méditation. Originaire de l'Inde, l'école bouddhiste dhyana en sanscrit, samten en tibétain, thiên en vietnamien, chan en chinois, sôn en coréen devient le zen au Japon. Cette pratique prône la prise de conscience de soi en tant que Bouddha grâce à un enseignement.

Der bekannte Zen-Meister Thich Nhat Hanh erklärt anhand eines alten buddhistischen Textes, wie Erleuchtung in unserem lauten Alltag verwirklicht werden kann. Viele Menschen glauben, dass Nirvana ein entfernter Ort der Glückseligkeit sei. Doch schon der Buddha lehrte, dass es nur im Hier und Jetzt zu finden ist. Vor diesem Hintergrund erläutert Thich Nhat Hanh in diesem buddhistischen Standardwerk die 36 Verse aus dem "Kapitel über Nirvana" des Chinesischen Dharmapada.

Winner of the Eric Hoffer and Benjamin Franklin literary awards, this biography tells the story of Rama, Dr. Frederick P. Lenz, (1950-1998), an enlightened spiritual teacher who taught a brilliant, boundary-breaking form of American Buddhism to tens of thousands of people. This biography includes interviews and stories from over 100 students and colleagues, each with a different perspective. Rama did not just speak about enlightenment; he modeled it. Compassionate, controversial, wise, honest, prescient, reverent, irreverent, he was always teaching and still is.

Die kleine Katze Maya hat es gut bei der reichen Witwe Alma – wenn da nicht dieses ständig nagende Gefühl von Unzufriedenheit und innerer Leere wäre. So verlässt Maya ihr vertrautes Samtkissen und begibt sich auf die Suche nach Sinn und Erfüllung. Doch weder bei den strengen "Heiligen Katzen", noch bei den wilden Straßenkatzen und deren Vorliebe für allerlei Sinnesfreuden wird sie fündig. Erst als sie am Ende ihrer Kräfte von dem alten Maler Eugen aufgenommen wird, wendet sich das Blatt: In der Meditation entdeckt Maya die Kraft der Stille.

Nel mondo reale lo sfruttamento esiste: una distanza, incolmabile e ingiusta, separa i ricchi dai poveri. In questo libro, il Dalai Lama ci dice che non possiamo restare indifferenti. Arrabbiatevi, ci suggerisce. Stupendoci, perché nulla sembrerebbe più in contraddizione con la sua pratica dell'amore per il prossimo. Ma la rabbia è anche una parte imprescindibile del nostro essere umani e soffocarla potrebbe distruggerci dall'interno.

L'insegnamento classico del Dalai Lama, quello che viene dalla sua natura originaria di "semplice monaco", è la gentilezza. Tutti vogliamo che ci venga usata, ma quando siamo noi, in prima persona, a compiere un atto gentile, in quel momento di grazia sperimentiamo la massima soddisfazione, ci eleviamo al di sopra di qualsiasi malumore o stress. Non solo: generiamo una catena di effetti positivi su di noi e sulle persone che amiamo dell'amore più autentico.

Learn how to communicate with compassion and choose language that reflects your personal values and aims with this essential guide to Nonviolent Communication (NVC). Judith Hanson Lasater and Ike Lasater, longtime students of yoga and Buddhism, had studied the concepts of satya (truth) and the Buddhist principle of right speech for years, but it was not until they began practicing Marshall Rosenberg’s techniques of NVC that the concept of speech as a spiritual practice became real for them.

Sono molte le pratiche dell'insegnamento buddhista che si concentrano sull'essere nel momento presente. È una condizione che ci permette di tradurre in pratica i principi fondamentali della dottrina: se rimaniamo vincolati al passato, se siamo ansiosi per il futuro, se non sperimentiamo il vuoto che deriva dalla rinuncia all'attaccamento, se non comprendiamo fino in fondo l'interdipendenza di tutte le cose, non saremo mai nelle condizioni di vivere la vita nella sua pienezza. E di trovare la pace e la felicità, qui e adesso.

Achtsamkeit und Nachhaltigkeit sind zu Modebegriffen geworden. Sie sind aber ebenso zentrale Pfeiler der aktuellen Suffizienz-Bewegung und der jahrtausendealten Lehre des Buddha. Mit Niko Paech und Manfred Folkers loten zwei Experten aus, welche Potenziale die beiden Denkrichtungen mitbringen, um unseren zerstörerischen Wachstumspfad zu verlassen. Über eine provokante Abrechnung mit den Wachstumstreibern kapitalistischen Wirtschaftens und das Besinnen auf die Tugenden eines konsumbefreiten Lebens entwickeln sie eine "Kultur des Genug".

“Ksitigarbha” is a Sanskrit word meaning “earth treasury”, reflecting the hidden treasures in the minds of all sentient beings, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s specialty is His “power of vow”—a vow not to become a Buddha until all beings, including those in hell, are rescued. The narrator, Paul, is an inmate. He has been rescued by the Three Jewels and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva multiple times. We are moved by his serious, persistent vows to change himself and cultivate inwardly according to the Buddha and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s teachings.

Koans are the record of paradoxical and provocative exchanges between Zen masters and their students that developed in medieval China. These exchanges, though often elaborated through commentary, have also been boiled down to one-line questions or statements to be held in meditation and daily life. Famous examples include, "What is the sound of one hand?" and "Not knowing is most intimate." In Through Forests of Every Color, renowned Zen teacher Joan Sutherland reimagines the koan tradition with allegiance to the root spirit of the koans.

White Lotus unlocks the secret of the prayer and explains its meaning on many levels.

"Grazie per aver aperto questo libro. Che c'è dentro? Non lo saprete mai, se non lo leggete. Ma vi daremo qualche piccola indicazione. Giusto per disorientarvi un po'. Se non siete disposti a deragliare di un millimetro dalle vostre rassicuranti abitudini, dal primo caffè mattutino all'ultimo film prima di andare a letto, questo libro non vi serve.

Meditation und Achtsamkeit sind so populär wie nie zuvor. Und das aus gutem Grund – versprechen sie doch effektive Hilfe, um die Herausforderungen des modernen Lebens souverän und gelassen zu meistern. Doch was, wenn die erhoffte Wirkung nicht von Dauer ist oder ganz ausbleibt? Wenn uns der Stress des Alltags immer wieder einholt?
