Zen Buddhism

Mainstream perceptions about what it means to be Buddhist in America often whitewash and invisibilize the diverse, inclusive, and intersectional communities that lie at the heart of American Buddhism. Be the Refuge is both critique and celebration, calling out the erasure of Asian-American Buddhists while uplifting the complexity and nuance of their authentic stories and vital, thriving communities. Drawn from in-depth interviews with a pan-ethnic, pan-Buddhist group, Be the Refuge is the first book to center young Asian-American Buddhists' own voices.

Meditation teacher, filmmaker, writer, and art savant Kevin Townley turns his unique gaze upon 26 artists and magnifies the power and meaning of the five Buddhist wisdom energies through explorations of their work.

Townley leads you to, invites you in, and sometimes springs upon you, the perennial wisdom in the worlds of artists from Artemisia to Hilma af Klint to Marilyn Minter.

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.

Die 16 Übungen des bewussten Atmens, die in diesem Hörbuch vorgestellt werden, sind der Schlüssel zur Befreiung und zu einem erfüllten Leben. Aus ihnen heraus lässt sich eine neue Haltung der Achtsamkeit entwickeln. Lassen Sie sich von Robert Atzorn zu diesen Atemübungen anleiten und schöpfen Sie Kraft aus der ermutigenden Botschaft Thich Nhat Hanhs.

Gewöhnlich hängen wir mit unseren Gedanken an Vergangenem oder wir sorgen uns um Zukünftiges - daraus ziehen wir Identität und Sicherheit. Thich Nhat Hanh zeigt, wie wir mehr und mehr Vertrauen entwickeln können in ein Leben, das in der Gegenwart wirklich verankert ist und von dem wir uns nicht fortwährend wegträumen. Wir können im Hier und Jetzt, in unserem ganz alltäglichen Leben von Augenblick zu Augenblick, Heimat und Sicherheit finden - dies ist die hoffnungsvolle Botschaft des vietnamesischen Zen-Meisters.

Wir können - unabhängig von den jeweiligen äußeren Umständen - an jedem Ort und zu jeder Zeit ein Leben in Freiheit führen. Dies ist die ermutigende Botschaft des Zen-Meisters Thich Nhat Hanh.

Eine Freiheit, die wiederum Grundlage für unser Glück ist.
