Mit diesem #1 Bestseller Glück und Zufriedenheit finden. In diesem Buch stellt die Autorin Shiva Singh verschiedene inspirierende Geschichten aus dem Buddhismus vor. Die Geschichten erlauben dem Leser eine neue Sicht auf Glück und Zufriedenheit einzunehmen, die zum Nachdenken und Überdenken einladen.

Glück ist letztlich nämlich einfach nur eine Frage der Perspektive.

In clear words, Zen Master Zensho W. Kopp shows us in an inspiring way how we can see through the deceptive nature of our concepts so that we rise up above our self-made limitations. Through this we transcend our identification with the unreal and reach the absolute reality of our true self. We experience a liberating transformation to a deeper and all-embracing universal consciousness and thus to freedom of the mind.

Leading Buddhist scholar Sam van Schaik explores the history and essence of Zen, based on a new translation of one of the earliest surviving collections of teachings by Zen masters. These teachings, titled The Masters and Students of the Lanka, were discovered in a sealed cave on the old Silk Road, in modern Gansu, China, in the early twentieth century. All more than a thousand years old, the manuscripts have sometimes been called the Buddhist Dead Sea Scrolls, and their translation has opened a new window onto the history of Buddhism.

For Roshi Pat Enkyo O'Hara, intimacy is what Zen practice is all about: the realization of the essential lack of distinction between self and other that inevitably leads to wisdom and compassionate action. She approaches the practice of intimacy beginning at its most basic level - the intimacy with ourselves that is the essential first step. She then shows how to bring intimacy into our relationships with others, starting with those dearest to us and moving on to those who don't seem dear at all.

Little is known of the life of Zen master Huang-Po (Obaku in Japanese). He was born in Fuzhou, China, and died about 850 AD. His main teacher was Pai Chang (Hyakujo) (720 - 814). The main source for Huang-Po's teaching is the Treatise of the Essentials of the Transmission of the Mind, compiled by his student, Pei Xiu. Huang-Po's teaching is focused on the concept of Mind, the essence of intrinsic Buddahood. According to the master, the search for enlightenment was a useless distraction, as seeking for something inevitably separates the seeker from what is being sought.

For over 2,500 years, the teachings of Buddhism have guided spiritual seekers, philosophers, and everyday people who want more from life. You’re probably already familiar with some Buddhist concepts, such as “meditation” and “karma”. But, what about “Buddhahood” and “the 10 worlds?” Ideas like these are unfamiliar to the Western mind-set, making the language of Buddhism difficult for outsiders to understand.
