Zen Buddhism

Buddhism aims for the development of a flexible mind and skillful responsiveness-whether toward problems in one's personal life or broader issues like the ecological crisis. But in a culture now saturated with cliches about mindfulness and unrealistic fantasies about happiness, what does it truly mean to walk this path? The key practice is that of embodied aliveness.

If your life is full of stress and anxiety, this book is your key to relief and peace. The ancient Buddhist concept of mindfulness is often presented as a concept too complicated to fully translate into English, but author Eric McLuhan takes these concepts and communicates mindfulness in plain English. Life doesn’t have to be a race from one crisis to another. This beginner's guide to mindfulness shows the power of another way.

Buddhism for Beginners is the introductive guide to an ancient and profoundly revered practice that helped millions of people struggling against the multiple issues of their lives. Buddhism is even more popular now than it has been in decades. The reason behind its steady rise is due to the plethora of benefits that this way of life reaps upon those who apply its teachings to their lives.

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.

Viviamo alla continua ricerca della felicità, e nella corsa senza sosta per raggiungerla non ci accorgiamo delle straordinarie meraviglie di cui è già ricco il mondo attorno a noi. Ogni giorno, ogni ora, ogni istante la bellezza ci chiama, ma raramente ci poniamo in ascolto. Perché per avvertire la sua voce e poterle rispondere è necessaria una condizione divenuta rara: il silenzio.

The search for wisdom has been the pole-star of humanity for 6,000 years. Religions have come and gone, philosophies have failed, but those surviving wells of wisdom go deep and yield sweet refreshment for the soul. Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism, Zen, and Eastern Christian writings have served as pathways to peace and enlightenment, but the path is not easily traveled. Wisdom is a harsh master, demanding authenticity and truth. No self-delusion or protection will be tolerated. The seeker must be spiritually eviscerated. Mind and soul must be laid bare.

Marking a significant departure from Noah Cicero's fictional and poetic works, Blood-Soaked Buddha/Hard Earth Pascal is a lucid philosophical treatise. Rather than entertain dogma, Cicero approaches a discussion of Buddhism from the refreshing perspective of the everyman, providing a profound spiritual analysis as well as a sharp critique of capitalism. There are even some pretty good ghost stories.

Una década después de su muerte, Osho es reconocido como uno de los guías espirituales más importantes del siglo XX. Siempre audaz e impredecible -en sus propias palabras, «un místico espiritualmente incorrecto»- las prolíficas enseñanzas de Osho apuntan a la creación de un "nuevo hombre", un hombre libre de ideologías, doctrinas y dogmas desfasados. La labor de Osho refleja su singular capacidad para integrar el espíritu oriental con el pensamiento científico occidental.

Lire à haute voix un "conte Zen", c'est restituer un climat, recréer les conditions originelles. Nous voici revenus aux temps anciens, sur la place du village aux pieds d'un Maitre Zen de passage. Voici que dans le soir qui vient, nous sommes à nouveau touchés par la passion, le timbre singulier, la magie, la paix d'une voix, attentifs à l'inflexion d'un sourire, bouleversés par le rythme des phrases, la force du discours, l'enchantement des images, conscients du silence... et se brise le mur de nos refus.

But it's the start of a new school year, and she begins to realize that she wants to be more. Namely, she's determined to be better to her best friend, Maddie, who's just back from a summer program abroad having totally blossomed into her own looks.

The Victorian Plague is a satire on self-awareness, religion and philosophy. The title is an allegory to what eastern theology dubs the ego, its effect on the conditioning of the modern primate and civilization as it currently stands. It is the author's unfiltered zeitgeist and theory of reality. The author presents a deconstruction of our modern-day perception of what reality is, what it means to be alive and presents some subjective theories of the historical influences that led us to arriving at the awareness that we currently rest at.
