Østasiatisk og indisk filosofi

As with the previous volumes of this series, this, too, is a compilation of talks given in Amma's physical presence. To discourse on the Truth while sitting next to its embodiment can be daunting.It is akin to man telling God the secrets of His creation. It seems presumptuous but it's not so. Being in Amma's sacred presence or even anticipating it is affecting in ways the conscious mind can never quite understand. As Amma puts it, the mind is 'in satsang'-in the presence of the Truth-even while preparing for a talk. The speaker knows that the talk is not the place for self-glorification, because he or she is going to speak in the presence of a Guru, whose very presence spells doom for the ego. But more than being intimidating, being in Amma's presence is a joyful experience. It is deeply intimate, because it is nothing less than a baring of one's soul to the knower of all souls.Sharing one's insights with other children of the Divine Mother is also a form of fellowship with kindred souls who share similar spiritual aspirations. We hope this volume will also bring you, dear reader, closer to Amma-closer to the Truth.Published By The Disciples Of Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, Affectionately Known As Mother, Or Amma The Hugging Saint.

FROM THE FOREWORD by Hozan Alan Senauke, abbot, Berkeley Zen CenterWhen our Japanese teachers came to the West, they brought us an immeasurable gift-Zen as continuous, lifelong practice. This is what Roshi Mitra Bishop means by "the long maturation" in this wonderful book. There are several dimensions to this book, Deepening Zen, that call forth my appreciation.First is the skillful way Roshi Mitra weaves together psychology, neuroscience, history, and dharma. Like it or not, we live in a psychologizing age. But the teachings here keep returning to Buddhadharma. That is our refuge-Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha. Roshi Mitra insists that we can rely on dharma, which is not other than our own enlightened nature.Second, this is a book full of stories. Savour the stories. Observe how some of them weave through the book to deliver their cargo of wisdom. Maybe this is the defining characteristic of being human- the ability to create stories from our experience. Of course, we can be misled by stories, but all the great perennial wisdom is found in stories. This is true for the Buddha's Pali Sutras, for the Bible, for the collections of challenging and enigmatic Zen koans, and for the pages of this book. May these insightful stories come home to you, and help you in the work of saving all sentient beings

"The Blue Cliff Record, a twelfth-century collection of Ch'an (Zen) koans, is a treasure of world religious literature. Like any such text, it operates at several levels: it is a remarkable example of classical Chinese literature and poetry; it is a philosophical text of profound power; and it is an active practice guide in use by Ch'an and Zen Buddhists all over the world. In this innovative rendering, renowned translator David Hinton pares the Chinese original down to its earliest and most essential version-the sangha-cases (koans) and brief poetic responses (or gathas, meaning a Buddhist "sutra-poem") compiled by the great master Snow-Chute Mountain (Hsèueh Tou, 980-1052). In doing so, he brings the reader closer to the Taoist cosmological framework that lays at the foundation of the entire Ch'an tradition-revealing a whole new understanding of this seminal text. In these one hundred classic koans, beginners will discover a strange, funny, and provocative world of quixotic exchanges and penetrating insights, and longtime koan practitioners will find themselves challenged anew by Hinton's masterful translations"--

In a world that often denies the reality of death, The Tao of Death unveils a universal truth - in understanding and embracing our mortality, we unlock a fuller, richer experience of life. Inspired by the ancient, mystical verses of Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, which translator Stephen Mitchell describes as "one of the wonders of the world," this adaptation is a transformative journey into the heart of existence. Driven by a profound personal connection with the ebb and flow of life, hospice physician Karen Wyatt reveals the joy and wisdom that emerges from confronting our greatest fear. In Bhutan, once named the happiest place on Earth, thinking about death is a daily practice. Can contemplating the impermanence of life be the key to true happiness? Dive deep into this unique exploration of life, death, and the intertwining of their paths.Just as the ancient Tao Te Ching speaks of harmony and balance, this book calls readers to find harmony between life and death, to live with purpose, love, and a deep sense of gratitude. Whether you're seeking solace, understanding, or a renewed zest for life, The Tao of Death serves as a luminary guide. "Life is precious because it is brief and fleeting. Embrace death, and you uncover the secrets to a life of meaning and depth."This is more than just a book; it's an awakening. Dive in, and let the wisdom of ages illuminate your journey.
