Opfølgeren til den internationale bestseller De ting du først kan se, når du sætter farten ned. Endnu en smuk og nænsom mindfulness-bog fra zenmunken Haemin Sunim.

At the heart of Buddhism is a simple claim: The reason we suffer--and the reason we make other people suffer--is that we don't see the world clearly. At the heart of Buddhist meditative practice is a radical promise: we can learn to see the world, including ourselves, more clearly, and so gain a deep and morally valid happiness. In this pathbreaking book, Robert Wright shows how taking this promise seriously can change your life -- how it can loosen the grip of anxiety, regret, and hatred, and how it can deepen your appreciation of beauty and of other people. He also shows why this transformation works, Drawing on the latest in neuroscience and psychology, and armed with an acute understanding of human evolution, Wright explains why the path toward truth and the path toward happiness are one and the same.

Listening with compassion can solve our most pressing issues—across global politics and interpersonal relationships and within our own hearts and minds.In How to Listen, Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh demonstrates how deep listening is a fundamental building block of good communication. But perhaps more fundamentally, listening is central to our practice, a basic ingredient to strengthen our capacity for mindfulness, concentration, insight, and compassion. Learning how to listen with equanimity to life itself, we generate insight into the true nature of our deep connection to all things. And from this place of understanding—when we know that we aren’t separate—our capacity to listen deepens even further. With clear and gentle guidance from Thich Nhat Hanh, we learn how truly listening—to ourselves, to each other, to Mother Earth, and to the many “bells of mindfulness” that are available to us in each moment—is the foundation of our practice, an expression of love, and a solution to our deepest and most urgent large-scale conflicts. All Mindfulness Essentials books are illustrated with playful sumi-ink drawings by California artist Jason DeAntonis.

The contents of the book will address the core principles and meditation practices found in the Buddhist tradition, centered on the "three yanas" model that first originated in ancient India and later took root in Tibet. The unique view, meditation, and application found in each of these three yanas (or vehicles) will be explored, with practical examples, stories that bring the tradition to life, and tips for integrating the teachings with daily life"--

Genshin (¿¿; 942-1017), also known as Eshin sozu (¿¿¿¿) , is one of the most prominent masters of Japanese Tendai Buddhism. This study focuses on one of his seminal works, the Ichijo yoketsu ¿¿¿¿ (Determining the Essentials of the One-vehicle), and evaluates its influence on subsequent representatives of the tradition in the medieval period. It elucidates how Genshin and his most significant writings, i.e. the Ichijo yoketsu and the Ojoyoshu ¿¿¿¿ (The Essentials of Birth in the Pure Land), were understood in the Buddhist milieu of the Japanese Middle Ages. By shedding light how the Ichijo yoketsu was quoted in connection to the sangoku mappo ¿¿¿¿ paradigm ("decline of the dharma throughout the three countries" of India, China, and Japan), the present book contributes original and relevant insights into Japanese Buddhism. It primarily takes an intertextual approach, which is carried out with the help of digital resources and tools. Yet another feature is the first English-language translation of the Genshin sozu den ¿¿¿¿¿ (Biography of the General Vicar Genshin), the oldest full-length biography of Genshin. While the work presents a wealth of new knowledge and hitherto unexplored angles, it does not intend to conclude its matter. Rather, it aims at inspiring further interest in the study of Genshin and his many unexplored works.

"Most followers of the Tibetan tantric Buddhist teachings are merely wearing an outer costume of tantra.""Serious consideration of the situation of tantra is urgent before its essence is lost altogether. The time has come for going beyond mere scholarly explanations and superficial chanting of liturgies to actually restoring the practice tradition that has been corrupted and rejected in recent centuries. To do that, the full scope of tantra's real meaning must be re-introduced."-Shar Khentrul Rinpoché

In ihren Vorträgen und in Gesprächen mit Suchern und Schülern herrschen Klarheit, Wärme, absichtslose Kraft, Freude ohne Grund, und Liebe, die klar und mitfühlend, unbegrenzt und bodenständig ist. Dabei bezieht Pyar sich häufig auf Texte aus dem tibetischen Buddhismus, dem Zen, aus dem Sufismus und vielen weiteren Weisheitstraditionen. Legendäre Meister wie Tilopa und Milarepa, Sosan und Rinzai werden lebendig.Sehr ausführlich widmet sie sich in diesem Buch den fünf Dhyani-Buddhas oder Weisheits-Buddhas, die in der tibetischen Tradition als fünf Aspekte der einen Weisheit gesehen werden.

Monastic Musings From Thailand is a delightful account of daily life at a modern-day Thai Buddhist monastery. The author spent several months in a small forest monastery outside Chiang Rai in 2017, first as a layperson and then as a fully ordained monk. There, he discovered traditions that have changed little since the time of the Buddha and which are deeply engrained in modern Thai culture. Over the months, he wrote down countless conversations with the abbot, as well as the minute details of life at the monastery. The result is an easy-to-read venture into psychology, religion and culture East and West, mixed in with short day-to-day observations about life in Thailand and at the monastery. An entertaining, insightful read for anyone interested in Thailand, in life at a Buddhist monastery.Philippe Leduc was born in Canada in 1972. His interest in Buddhism started when he was in high school, and over the years he has explored several spiritual traditions, including Advaita Vedanta, yoga and various Buddhist lineages, as well as the universal teachings of Eckhart Tolle and Byron Katie. He works mostly as a freelance translator. Today, in 2023, his interest in understanding the mind and ending suffering is as alive than ever.
