Zen Buddhism

Fin dalla più tenera età Osho si pone di fronte alla vita come spirito libero, rifiuta persino la fede della famiglia, di religione giainista, e sfida sempre e comunque il potere costituito e chi lo rappresenta. Termina comunque gli studi nel 1956, laureandosi in filosofia e prosegue la carriera universitaria come professore. Solo agli inizi degli anni Sessanta si sente pronto a intraprendere un tipo di lavoro diverso: aiutare altri esseri umani a vivere la stessa esperienza da lui vissuta.

The Zen of Art starts with the premise that making art is akin to what happens when wind engages with a set of chimes. The chance encounter of source and instrument generates a song that enriches and elevates the moment. Author and artist Carolyn Schlam draws a parallel with what she calls the "Zen of Art"—the process of allowing creative expression to manifest in a natural and unencumbered fashion. Schlam tells her personal story of making art while applying the knowledge she has gained to live an "artful life" in chapters on courage, joy, beauty, love, and more.

Meditation has been around for centuries, especially for those in Eastern cultures. Over that last decade or so, meditation has found new popularity for people in Western cultures as a means to relax and de-stress. Even though meditation is not a new practice, it is still fairly new to those of us in the US. That’s why this book is here to teach those of us who weren’t raised in a culture that taught us about meditation and its benefits.

Quotes from the Buddha are everywhere: on Facebook, Instagram, coffee mugs, posters. There's only one problem: the Buddha didn't actually say most of them. This humorous and informative book takes these fake Buddha quotes as a launching point for a discussion on what the Buddha really did say and is a great entry point for those interested in learning more about Buddhism - what it is and what it isn't.

Der bekannte Zen-Meister Thich Nhat Hanh erklärt anhand eines alten buddhistischen Textes, wie Erleuchtung in unserem lauten Alltag verwirklicht werden kann. Viele Menschen glauben, dass Nirvana ein entfernter Ort der Glückseligkeit sei. Doch schon der Buddha lehrte, dass es nur im Hier und Jetzt zu finden ist. Vor diesem Hintergrund erläutert Thich Nhat Hanh in diesem buddhistischen Standardwerk die 36 Verse aus dem "Kapitel über Nirvana" des Chinesischen Dharmapada.

Este audiolibro contiene un conjunto de enseñanzas claves que han contribuido en la vida de su autor a continuar por un camino de aprendizajes para alcanzar y mantener la paz, la libertad y la felicidad.

El Zen para intelectuales, sépase de una vez, nunca fue para “intelectuales”. El lenguaje del Zen significa, desde tiempos inmemoriales, un fuerte, aunque muy artístico embate, contra la obsesión humana de jugar a intelectualizar todo lo que se encuentra a su “alcance”: desde el sentido de las diez mil cosas, hasta las razones del mundo increado. El Zen que da vida a esta obra, es una filosofía antifilosófica que pretende todo, menos afianzarse a la mente de algún simpatizante; por el contrario, busca, de cara a las exigencias de la experiencia de la existencia, desintegrarse.

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. Ein Leben in Freiheit bedeutet ein Leben in Achtsamkeit. Achtsamkeit für unsere Gefühle und Gedanken, für unser Handeln und für unsere Umgebung ist die zentrale Voraussetzung für eine selbstbestimmte Freiheit. Eine Freiheit, die wiederum Grundlage für unser Glück ist.
