Eastern Religion Philosophy

Welcome to the second installment in the Baal on Buddhism series in which I take complicated Buddhist topics and make them approachable to all. I was not initially intending on making this the second book in the series, in fact, I wasn't going to write this book until sometime in 2018. It has been on my list of books to write for several years, but an odd chain of synchronicities occurred in which pushed me to write this now. I took it as a sign that my perspective on this practice is coming at the right time for many people. It also gave me the opportunity to reconnect with my own shadow self in the process.

For the first time in any modern language, a female scholar and translator reimagines The Art of War. Sun Tzu’s ancient book of strategy and psychology has as much to tell us today as when it was first written 2,500 years ago. In a world forever at odds, his rules for anticipating the motivations and strategies of our competitors never cease to inspire leaders of all kinds.

Brilliant, mystical, pragmatic, and witty, Chuang Tsu has been called the world's first anarchist by some. Even 2,000 years after his death, his provocative Taoist text remains in the forefront of ancient Chinese philosophical study. An essential sourcebook in the Taoist canon, the sublime prose of this spiritual classic provides a profound and paradoxical commentary to the Tao Te Ching.

Asian spiritual practices, from yoga and tai chi to qigong and mindfulness meditations, permeate our culture. But these practices are often casually used in the West, and sometimes little understood. As informative as it is inviting, A Lamp unto Yourself introduces “spiritual explorers” of all experience levels to embodied Eastern spiritual practices.

Беседы Ошо по историям Чжуан-цзы — это размышления о разных способах поиска своего настоящего "Я". Как известно, многие мистики, стремящиеся к просветлению, сначала терпели неудачу. Они работали над собой днем и ночью, непрестанно медитировали, практиковались — и вновь терпели поражение. Но когда они уже совсем отчаивались и отбрасывали усилия, просветление приходило к ним само собой...Чжуан-цзы, основатель даосизма, говорит, что только так мы можем познать самих себя — не прилагая усилий.

Confucius knew all about life and told us how to behave, but we can't find out precisely what he was up to. His well-meaning platitudes, quaint maxims, and quasi-enigmatic anecdotes combined to produce an ideal philosophy for civil servants. It would appear that his aim was to turn his pupils into good government officials, but his teachings succeeded beyond his wildest expectations, providing rules of conduct and spiritual fodder for more than two thousand years.

Die Ribhu Gita ist eines der Hauptwerke der indischen Vedanta-Philosophie. Darin ist die Quintessenz dieser Philosophie enthalten. Sie besagt, dass alles das eine Selbst ist. Es gibt nur ein Selbst, das wir alle miteinander teilen. Nur wer bereit ist, auf alles Persönliche zu verzichten, wird dazu in der Lage sein, sich auf dieses kosmische Selbst einzulassen. Ramana Maharschi (1879 –1950), der große erleuchtete Meister des 20.Jahrhunderts, liebte diese Schrift mehr als alle anderen.

En Creencia, duda y fanatismo, Osho reflexiona en torno a una de las interrogantes vitales del ser humano y la vía para darle respuesta: la búsqueda de la verdad a través de la fe y las religiones, y cómo la necesidad de encontrarla, aunada a la falsa certeza de haber hallado la verdad, puede cegar a las personas al grado de sacar su propio centro. Osho invita a poner en crisis los credos, personales, ya sean políticos, sociales o religiosos, para superar el miedo a lo desconocido y desarrollarse plenamente como persona.

This book contains the prophetic and epochal lectures delivered by Swami Vivekananda at the Parliament of Religions, Chicago, in 1893.

Buddhism is more than a religion. It’s a way of life that will help you learn how to live a stress free life. Buddhism, is all about learning how to let go and find your place in the universe. But, with all the books out there, it’s very hard to learn where to start down the path of Buddhism. At least, it was until now. In this book, you will find the answers to everything you have always wanted to know about Buddhism from the perspective of an absolute beginner.

El propósito de este libro es presentar los secretos de la curación hindú a través de la práctica del Ayurveda. El Ayurveda se estableció por primera vez hace más de 5.000 años y es reconocido como un antiguo sistema médico, el más antiguo del mundo. La práctica de la medicina y el establecimiento de otros sistemas médicos derivados del Ayurveda se han transformado, pero la constancia y la práctica del Ayurveda han prevalecido al paso del tiempo.

The tide of modern life is sweeping us even further into isolation—away from each other, from the world, from ourselves. To turn this tide, Lama Tsomo has created the latest addition to her Ancient Wisdom for Our Times series: Deepening Wisdom, Deepening Connection. Building on the ideas and practices in the first two books—Why Bother: An Introduction and Wisdom Compassion (Starting with Yourself)—this new volume actively engages listeners, expanding our understanding and guiding our practice in the several key areas.

Entering the Mind, by C von Hassett, is a deeply insightful exploration of a timeless wisdom practice known as Dzogchen—a meditation practice which points the practitioner directly to their own innate, naturally occurring mind, or what is otherwise known as “mind in its natural state.” This is the very mind the Buddha spoke of as being already awakened, already enlightened, and this mind is easily accessible and readily observable within each of us.

Sacred sound is a substantial form of spiritual nourishment. Many cultures are rich with spiritual music, but kirtan features ancient mantras—potent sound formulas of transformation and healing—that enrich and enlighten us in ways that other music or self-help methods cannot.

" Understanding Buddhism is one of the most beautiful and least-known books on Buddhism in English, a series of fresh, often stunningly original, essays." (Huston Smith and Philip Novak, Buddhism: A Concise Introduction)
