Buddhisme

Presents Tantra from an ethnographic vantage point, through a series of case studies grounded in diverse settings across contemporary Asia.

Dieses Buch enthält die Lebensgeschichte des Buddha. Es basiert auf dem Palikanon, der klassischen Sammlung der Lehrreden des Buddha und der ältesten Berichte über den Buddha, der von 560 - 480 v.u.Z. in Nordostindien lebte. Daneben flossen Erkenntnisse der neueren Textexegese ein. Wenn ich Vermutungen und Interpretationen mit einbezogen habe, habe ich das im Text kenntlich gemacht. Wir erleben hier den historischen Buddha Sakyamuni und seine häufig unkonventionellen, immer aber hilfreichen Reden und Handlungen. Ich habe mich bemüht, diese Biografie in einer modernen und erfrischenden, teilweise auch humorvollen Sprache zu verfassen.Kursiv und fett gedruckte Begriffe sind in einem Glossar am Ende des Buches erklärt.

"An overview of the core teachings of Pali-tradition Buddhism from esteemed Thai monk P. A. Payutto"--

"This is a modern commentary on a Dzogchen tantra titled The Natural Freedom and Openness of the Mind, covering the practices of trekcho, thogal, and bardo. This tantra is a mind terma, or treasure, of the contemporary terton, or treasure revealer, Deshek Lingpa (1956-2020). The tantra is said by tradition to be one among many revelations of the seventh-century Indian master Garab Dorje, who received them directly from the bodhisattva Vajrasattva, who received them from the buddha Samantabhadra. The commentary presents, in clear and accessible language, the approach to enlightement taught in this tradition. These instructions are considered advanced and secret, to be taught only to those who have received transmission from a qualified master. For the curious reader outside of the tradition, this book offers a clear and concise introduction to way the Nyingma tradition frames Buddhist cosmology, mind, liberation, and prayer"--

"From The Budding Lotus in the West, readers will gain a fundamental understanding of key Buddhist concepts and which Buddhist traditions are commonly practiced in in the West. The book will speak to cultural expropriation of Buddhism, show why it is important to avoid misappropriation and misrepresentation of Buddhist spirituality, and explain ways white practitioners can be better allies to strengthen inclusivity, harmony, and solidarity across Buddhist communities in America. It will envision the role Buddhism could play in facilitating intercultural dialogue and establishing harmony within religious diversity"--

Koans sind scheinbar unlösbare Aufgaben, die Zen - Meister ihren Schülern stellen. Auf den Laien wirken sie paradox und sinnlos. Diese Meditationsaufgaben dienen der Ausbildung des Zen - Schülers und öffnen eine Ebene des Geistes, die dem rationalen, westlichen Denken verschlossen bleibt. Harry Misho Teske hat die beiden über 800 Jahre alten Hauptwerke der Koanausboldung neu übersetzt, erklärt, kommentiert und erstmalig in deutscher Sprache in einem Buch vereint. - Mumonkan - Die torlose Schranke- Hekigan Roku - Die Aufzeichnung von der smaragdgrünen FelswandDas Mumonkan umfasst 48 Koans und ist unabdingbar für das Verständnis des Zen - Buddhismus. Das Hekigan Roku dient mit seinen 100 Koans der Ausbildung angehender Zen - Meister und verlangt dem Verständnisvermögen höchste Konzentration ab. Vorangestellt ist eine Sammlung aus 10 Einsteigerkoans, die dem Leser einen ersten Zugang in diese wunderbare Welt der Meditation eröffnen.

"Since the dawn of Ch'an and Zen in medieval China and Japan, members of these schools have enlivened their teaching by creatively adopting and adapting terms, images, principles, poetry, and lore native to their societies. Unfortunately, so much of that cultural wealth has been "lost in translation" that Western practitioners have barely begun to discover and appreciate this extraordinarily rich legacy. In Storehouse of Treasures, second-generation American Zen teacher Nelson Foster makes a series of adventuresome forays into the trove of material laid up by the Dharma ancestors, bringing to light: masters' delight in playing with words, stories, and inherited Buddhist concepts, bending them to express the Dharma in inspired ways; the powerful influence that Taoist and Confucian thought exerted in the formation of Ch'an and Zen; the emphasis the two schools have laid on excellence of character as well as on profound awakening; the experiential meaning and enduring importance to the tradition of ideals little associated with it today, like integrity, shame, and contentment; and how "knowing the tune" of a fellow student, a mentor, or a teacher of old lies at the heart of transmitting the Dharma. Lifting to attention a diverse set of ancient yet still luminous Dharma gems, Foster urges their relevance and value to us as students of the Buddha Way and as citizens of a world increasingly fractious and imperiled"--

Find refuge and wisdom with a student of Thich Nhat Hanh in the pages of this poignant poetry collection that speaks to the heart of overcoming life’s adversities, Zen styleThis profound poetry collection, written by a disciple of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, charts a journey from turmoil to tranquility. In this deeply personal work, Sister Dang Nghiem, known for her insightful and compassionate teachings, unveils a journey of transformation and healing that bridges two pivotal phases of her life: the years prior to her monastic ordination and the profound insights gained thereafter. This unique compilation, divided into two distinct parts, illustrates Sister Dang Nghiem's evolution not just as a poet but as a spiritual practitioner. The first half, spanning 1989-1999, offers a glimpse into her pre-monastic life, filled with yearnings for reconciliation and liberation yet entangled in suffering and attachments. The latter half, encompassing her writings from 2000 to 2023, reflects a stark transformation, imbued with the wisdom and tranquility of her Zen practice. Not just a display of poetic prowess, but also a testament to Sister Dang Nghiem's resilience and spiritual growth, these poems resonate with honesty and vulnerability, providing readers with a candid testament to the life-altering power of healing through mindfulness and deep community. The River in Me offers a path toward inner peace and wholeness for those navigating the complexities of life and is an essential read for anyone seeking solace and understanding.Includes 17 black and white photographs prior to and after monastic ordination.

Le Dzogchen est l'état de grande perfection. Dans le Bön, il existe neuf étapes pour atteindre l'éveil. La voie graduelle comprend les huit premières étapes et inclut de nombreuses pratiques et enseignements. L'enseignement Dzogchen est l'étape la plus élevée et introduit directement le Dharmakaya ou la bouddhéité primordiale. Celle-ci est atteinte au moyen d'une unique pratique : la méditation en un seul point sur la nature de l'esprit. Le méditant va au-delà de l'esprit ordinaire et rencontre l'inconcevable immensité de l'esprit naturel et de la vérité ultime. Toutes les illusions, l'ignorance et les facteurs afflictifs sont libérés. Libérer le pratiquant des problèmes quotidiens est bénéfique, mais le Dzogchen, la voie de la libération, est l'ultime bienfait.

Every day Nuns and Buddhists at H¿¿ng Sen Buddhist Temple, California, USA, have practiced and recited following the Vietnamese scripture, "Nghi L¿ Hàng Ngày - 50 Kinh T¿ng và các L¿ Vía trong N¿m" (Daily Chanting - Fifty Discourses and Annual Festivals) of the Pureland Sect, which was composed in 2021 by Bhikkhun¿ Thích N¿ Gi¿i H¿¿ng. It is based on the original ritual of her late Master, the Venerable Elder H¿i Tri¿u Âm at Liên Hoa Temple and D¿¿c S¿ Temple.Since many Vietnamese-Americans, Hispanic, native Americans, and English speakers have come to Huong Sen Temple in search of practice and ritual, Bhikkhun¿ Gi¿i H¿¿ng composed 3 volumes of the English version of WEEKLY BUDDHIST DISCOURSE CHANTING.The first volume includes 54 popular Buddhist discourses from the sources of "The Middle Length Discourses of The Buddha" (Majjhima Nik¿ya), "The Connected Discourses of the Buddha" (Samyukta Agama), "Increased by One Discourses" (Anguttara Nikaya), "Chanting from the Heart" (Buddhist Ceremonies and Daily Practices) of Thích Nh¿t H¿nh, "Daily Chanting - 50 Discourses and Annual Festivals" of Huong Sen Temple and others.We should chant at least once a week, any place and any time, or more often if we have more time. The chant will help to avoid negative thoughts, defilements, distractions any of the myriad things that intrude into the one-pointed mind. We definitely feel the connectedness with Dharma (the Buddha's teaching), we feel the spirit being lifted up, the awakening and the settling of the mind to enter meditation. We will become bright, enduring, detached, diligent, generous, loving, understanding and so on... because we practice following the chanting and the role model of Buddhas.Chanting out loud or silently listening to chanting can also be very relaxing as we go about our day. It can be used to calm our mind before work or sleeping.For the sake of all the general practitioners, there are some changes, combinations, additions, reductions, and creations made in this English version. This is the first time that both traditions have been combined in an English version for the necessary needs at Huong Sen Buddhist Temple.We would like to gratefully acknowledge with special thanks the Buddhas, Boddhisattvas, Sanghas, the English translators, Master Thích Nh¿t H¿nh, our Late Respectful Teacher - Venerable Elder Bhikkhun¿ H¿i Tri¿u Âm and others. You all provided us the awakening words to remind and guide us in the right way of practice. We will keep chanting, learning and practicing it until we and all beings get the enlightenment as well as realize our Buddha nature.H¿¿ng Sen Temple, Riverside, CaliforniaMarch 7, 2023Bhikkhun¿ TN Gi¿i H¿¿ng

An intimate mystery encompasses you and tugs upon your heart—what does it mean to follow that tug across the arc of a spiritual life?Reflecting out of more than fifty years of practice in Zen Buddhism, Unitarian Universalism, and other contemplative traditions, James Ishmael Ford invites us into a journey through life's mysteries and the stages of spiritual development.Lightly structured by the archetypal Buddhist oxherding images, Ford’s exploration is rooted in the Zen way while being deeply enriched by various strains of world mysticism. The book, sprinkled with insights and quotes from Buddhist, Daoist, and Christian traditions, serves as a map and a companion to spiritual seekers or pilgrims—whether within one religious tradition or cobbling together a way of one’s own. “Here is the most natural of all natural experiences,” writes Ford. “In the midst of our suffering, our longing, our desperation, we capture a glimpse. Something touches us. And with that, if we are lucky and really notice some movement of some spirit within us, we turn our attention to the intimate way.”
