Eastern Philosophy

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.

Düşmanını ve kendini tanıyorsan zafer çok yakındır!

Sun Tzu fiziksel olarak eyleme geçmeden önce insanın zekâsıyla düşmanı alt edebileceğini ve bu sayede galip gelme şansının büyük oranda artacağını iddia eder. Tzu'nun bu felsefesi sadece askerlik alanında değil, yaşamın her alanında uygulanabilecek bir felsefedir.

Закони війни учителя Суня (Так буквально перекладається всесвітновідоме Мистецтво війни) — це стародавній (йому понад 2500 років!) китайський трактат, авторство якого приписується генералу й стратегу Сун Цзи, що жив наприкінці періоду Чуньцю або ж на початку періоду Чжаньго. Не треба думати, що цей текст –лише відголосок сивої давнини, цікавої лише історикам. Натомість його і сьогодні вивчають, наприклад, в армії США, на філософських та політологічних студіях провідних університетів світу. Сун Цзи вважав війну необхідним злом.

As in walking we learn to harmonize with the law of gravity, so in living we learn to harmonize with the natural order. By this understanding of the term, one must develop a certain mastery of Taoist philosophy in order to remain alive. What departs the Way is already doomed, posits Lao, thus validating this understanding of his teachings as a nature philosophy which, like the nearly contemporaneous Athenian enlightenment, crested thousands of years ahead of its modern reawakening.

Think of any scene of disaster and you'll find Sikh volunteers rallying to the site to perform seva—pronounced 'say-va', meaning selfless service—feeding migrant workers, helping riot victims, and cleaning up after earthquakes and floods.

And how is it that they're also able to channel so much joy and laughter while serving others?

If you want to focus on personal spiritual development and strive for a deep insight into the true nature of life, then continue reading.... "We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves." -Buddha If our present suffering is the result of bad karma from a prior life, what is the real present remedy for suffering in this life? Who is the karma judge? And why mindfulness and meditation? If you don't understand the immediate answers to the above, you're not alone.

Кинцуги, как и другие традиционные искусства Японии, соединяет в себе и утонченное ремесло и глубокую философию. В буквальном смысле кинцуги — реставрация керамический изделий с помощью лака, смешанного с золотым или серебряным порошком. В понимании японцев кинцуги — золотая поэтика жизни. Это некая метафора, передающая душевное состояние человека, который попал в тяжелую ситуацию и вынужден из осколков своей прежней, разбитой жизни собирать нечто новое. Мастер, овладевший этим искусством, способен превратить трудности и поражения в источник силы.

The first World War was one of the most devastating conflicts in our history. The tumult and chaos that remained in the wake of the first World War had far-reaching and devastating consequences, not just for Europe and the survivors of the war, but for the entire world. The ruins of Europe provided a fertile breeding ground for fierce nationalism, which led to the rise of the Third Reich and allowed the evil of Adolf Hitler to go unchecked for far too long.

"Ceci est l’histoire de Virata, que son peuple célébrait par les quatre noms de la vertu, mais dont le nom n’est pas inscrit dans les chroniques des princes ni mentionné dans le livre des sages, et dont les hommes ont oublié jusqu’au souvenir." S'inspirant de la Bhagavad-Gita, l'un des textes sacrés de l'hindouisme, Zweig nous livre une nouvelle atypique teintée de spiritualité dont le personnage principal, Virata, ne trouvera la sagesse et la paix paix qu'au prix d'un grand sacrifice, celui de son humanité.
