Bøger om Buddhister

Buddhistiske ideer er en kritisk gennemgang af tibetansk buddhistiske ideer med afsæt i Dalai Lamas bog "Universet i et enkelt atom". I bogen bliver der gennemgået nogle af de tibetansk-buddhistiske ideer hvor lamaerne sammenligner deres ideer med videnskaben.Spørgsmålene er så: Er de buddhistiske sammenligninger med videnskaben rigtige? Er Darwins opdagelser bare en ide? Har vi ingen egennatur? Er kristendommens opfattelse af en skaber mere metafysik end den tibetansk-buddhistiske, der mener at altings ophav tomhed? Er den tibetanske buddhisme så fredelig, som den udgiver sig for, og er dens ide om karma medfølende?

El maestro Guang-Qin (1892-1986) nació en el distrito administrativo de Hui-an, en la provincia de Fu-chien, en China. Venía de una familia pobre y fue adoptado de niño. Nunca recibió educación, por lo que siempre fue analfabeto. A los veintisiete años, se embarcó en una vida monástica y siguió el camino del Buda Amitabha. Diez años después, recibió los preceptos de monje. Luego se retiró a una cueva en las montañas chinas del interior, donde meditó durante trece años y experimentó estados de meditación muy profundos. Fue a Taiwán en 1947 y fundó varios monasterios entre ellos: el templo Cheng-tien, situado en Taipei, y el templo Miao-tung, situado en Kao-hsiung. Inspiró a muchas personas que, habiendo comprendido el significado del verdadero budismo, se comprometieron con su práctica.

Und alles nur, weil ihr das mit der Glühbirne passiert war. Mari strich dem Nachbarsjungen das blonde Haar aus dem Gesicht: Da war das bunt schimmernde Stirnband. Alles deutete darauf hin, dass sie beide es tatsächlich waren: Die Key-Tas. Wirklich? Sie, die junge Allgäuerin mit dem chaotischen Leben und der Leo vom Bauernhof nebenan. Sollten sie tatsächlich die neun Stufen meistern und damit wieder das Gleichgewicht auf diesem Planeten herstellen können? Zweifelnd blickte sie zu dem tibetischen Mönch und der peruanischen Frau, die ihr gegenüberstanden. Sie wirkten so optimistisch und überzeugt. Dann sah sie zu Leo. Dieser nickte ihr freundlich zu, als ob es das Einfachste der Welt wäre, nun die Orte der Initiationen zu suchen. Würden sie die Aufgaben wirklich meistern können? Und was, wenn nicht? Mari fuhr sich nachdenklich über die Stirn. In ihrem Bauch fühlte sie ein klares Ja, doch ihr Kopf rebellierte. Sie beschloss, ihrem starken Gefühl zu folgen, und nickte. Es war ihr Weg, jetzt diese Abenteuerreise anzutreten. Beyond Munay Ki - es gibt immer einen Weg und die Reise beginnt jetzt.

This short story, ¿Alexandra David Neels¿ is the fourth in this writer¿s series of short stories about great women in history. The previous short stories now in published form, were; the story of Sophie (Mary) Pierce (Lady Heath) ¿ in the publication ¿The Silver Lining¿, ¿Tina Turner¿, ¿Sinead O¿Connor¿ (Sinead).This story is primarily about Alexandra, as she was the inspirational influence as a result of which I set out to write her story. However, when travelling in her footsteps the writer discovered many other ¿treasures¿ in the form of indigenous beliefs, major religions and their motivations designed by wise men and women in order to make matters of life and death more meaningful and lifestyles more perfect. This writer has included aspects of these so that the reader can be better informed with regard to the beliefs and the aspirations not only of Alexandra but also of those that she encountered and studied. The research involved, led to the outlining, and summarising of, some very complex belief systems. Alexandräs personal journey and mission focused mainly on the Indian subcontinent and the Himalayan region.

Religious extremism is a phenomenon that is very rampant on the table of discourse both in local and international forum. The research looked at religious extremism among Muslims and Christians in Nigeria, using ¿Boko Haram¿ sect as a case study. It presented the causes and effects of religious extremism. It is discovered in the study that the Nigerian society, religious extremism (violence and crisis) is more rampant in the Northern part of the country than any other part. The study recommended among other things, that religious educational enlightenment in Nigeria should be properly taught which would be centered on religious tolerance and understanding. The study recommended that the Nigerian constitution should avoid constitutional segregation as it pertains to religious matters, hence the need for constitutional review. The study also recommended that proper involvement of medical personnel and psychologists should be put in place, through which psycho centers and rehabilitation centers should be established to re-orientate the minds of the religious extremists instead of killing them.

A spellbinding literary thriller packed with psychological suspense and profound questions about motherhood, trauma and how death illuminates life.--Amy Tan, bestselling author of The Joy Luck Club and Where the Past BeginsBarbara Graham is a literary alchemist. What Jonah Knew not only grabs you from the first page, it makes the mystical believable and the human predicament shine with wit, wisdom, and love.--Tara Brach, meditation teacher and bestselling author of Radical Acceptance and Radical CompassionA seven-year-old boy inexplicably recalls the memories of a missing 22-year-old musician in this psychological thriller about the fierce love between mothers and sons across lifetimes, a work of gripping suspense with a supernatural twist that will mesmerize fans of Chloe Benjamin and Lisa Jewell.Helen Bird will stop at nothing to find Henry, her musician son who has mysteriously disappeared in upstate New York. Though the cops believe Henry's absence is voluntary, Helen knows better. While she searches for him--joined finally by police--Jonah is born to Lucie and Matt Pressman of Manhattan. Lucie does all she can to be the kind of loving, attentive mother she never had, but can't stop Jonah's night terrors or his obsession with the imaginary other mom and dog he insists are real.Whether Jonah's anxiety is caused by nature or nurture--or something else entirely--is the propulsive mystery at the heart of the novel. All hell breaks loose when the Pressmans rent a summer cottage in Aurora Falls, where Helen lives. How does Jonah, at seven, know so much about Henry, Helen's still-missing son? Is it just a bizarre coincidence? An expression of Jung's collective unconscious? Or could Jonah be the reincarnation of Henry? Faced with more questions than answers, Helen and Lucie set out to make sense of the insensible, a heart-stopping quest that forces them to redefine not just what it is to be a mother or a human being, but the very nature of life--and death--because of what Jonah knows.
