Buddhisme: mahayana

Ringu Tulku Rinpoche presents his commentary on a teaching by the Third Do Drupchen Rinpoche, Jigme Tenpe Nyima, called 'Bringing Happiness and Unhappiness onto the Path'.

Meeting the Buddhas is a modern classic, giving a vivid and accessible introduction to all the main figures meditated on in the Indo-Tibetan Buddhist tradition. First published in 1993, this new edition incorporates a section on Vajrakīla, as well as new images, and hundreds of small changes that nuance and deepen earlier editions. It is a mine of information for those who want to learn about buddhas, bodhisattvas and tantric deities, and of inspiration for those who are already doing the practices. Vessantara powerfully evokes the figures, giving the reader a real feeling for what it's like to meditate on them, and how they can transform us on a deep level. It gives detailed descriptions of the figures, including their mudras and symbolic emblems, so it can be used as a handy reference to identify and learn about particular images.

WHY BE HAPPY? is a beautiful, practical guide to finding happiness through ukeireru, the Japanese principle of acceptance.

A Zen master provides teachings, tools and meditations to practice during times of suffering to help promote transformation and healing within ourselves and also how to listen deeply and develop a greater capacity to understand the suffering of others.

"In this landmark anthology of some two dozen translations, celebrated translator David Hinton shows how Ch'an (Japanese: Zen)-too long considered a perplexing but mainstream school of Chinese Buddhism-was in truth a Buddhist-inflected form of Taoism, China's native system of spiritual philosophy. The texts in The Way of Ch'an build from seminal Taoism through the "Dark-Enigma Learning" literature and on to the most important pieces from all stages of the classical Ch'an tradition. Through this steadily deepening and transformative reading experience, readers will see the profound and intricate connections between native Chinese philosophy, Taoism, and Ch'an. Contemporary Zen students and practitioners will never see their tradition in the same way again"--

In this book Ringu Tulku brings us directly and lightheartedly to the point of Buddhist meditation: it helps to develop the two positive life enhancing qualities that lie naturally within us, clarity of mind and kindness for self and others. He reminds us that through meditation we can come to understand how the interconnectedness of all things is crucial for human wellbeing and for the future of the planet. No fuss or frills, it is as simple as that. The methods for practice he describes are relaxed and straightforward, the logic is clear, and the result is peace of mind.

Dale Wright offers a wide-ranging exploration of issues that have a bearing on the contemporary meaning of enlightenment. He considers the historical meanings of enlightenment within various Buddhist traditions, but does so in order to expand on the larger question that our lives press upon us--what kinds of lives should we aspire to live here, now, and into the future?

Zen Buddhism is the perfect addition to your spiritual journey and a great way to strengthen your Zen.
