"Shinto: Der Weg der Götter - Die uralte Religion Japans und ihr Einfluss auf die Gesellschaft" ist eine umfassende Untersuchung der shintoistischen Religion und ihrer Bedeutung in der japanischen Gesellschaft. Shinto, was wörtlich "Weg der Götter" bedeutet, ist eine der ältesten Religionen der Welt und hat einen tiefgreifenden Einfluss auf die japanische Kultur, Geschichte und Identität.In diesem Buch erkunden wir die Ursprünge des Shintoismus und die Grundprinzipien dieser Religion. Wir werfen einen Blick auf die verschiedenen Arten von Shinto-Schreinen und deren Bedeutung als Orte der Verehrung und Reinigung. Darüber hinaus untersuchen wir die vielfältigen Rituale und Zeremonien, die im Shinto praktiziert werden, und wie sie das spirituelle Leben der Menschen in Japan prägen.Ein weiteres wichtiges Thema ist die Verbindung zwischen Shinto und der Natur. Im Shintoismus wird geglaubt, dass die Natur von Geistern oder Göttern bewohnt wird, und diese Vorstellung hat einen starken Einfluss auf das Verständnis und den Umgang mit der Umwelt in Japan. Wir betrachten auch die Verbindung zwischen Shinto und der japanischen Mythologie, da viele der Götter und Göttinnen des Shinto in den alten Mythen und Legenden Japans eine Rolle spielen.Ein zusätzlicher Aspekt ist die Bedeutung des Shinto für das Familienleben. Familiäre Rituale und Ahnenverehrung sind wichtige Bestandteile des shintoistischen Glaubens und haben einen großen Einfluss auf die familiären Beziehungen in Japan.Des Weiteren beleuchten wir den Einfluss des Shinto auf die japanische Kunst. Ob es sich um Malerei, Architektur, Theater oder Musik handelt, der Shintoismus hat die künstlerische Ausdrucksformen Japans maßgeblich geprägt." Shinto: Der Weg der Götter - Die uralte Religion Japans und ihr Einfluss auf die Gesellschaft" bietet eine umfassende und fesselnde Erkundung des Shintoismus und seines Einflusses auf die japanische Gesellschaft. Es richtet sich an Leser, die an Religion, Kultur, Geschichte und japanischer Gesellschaft interessiert sind und einen tiefen Einblick in eine der faszinierendsten und einflussreichsten Religionen der Welt erhalten möchten. Tauchen Sie ein in die Welt des Shinto und entdecken Sie seine vielfältigen Facetten und Auswirkungen auf die japanische Kultur und Identität.Der Shintoismus, dessen Wurzeln bis in die vorgeschichtliche Zeit Japans zurückreichen, ist eine einzigartige Religion, die sich stark von anderen Weltreligionen unterscheidet. Im Zentrum des Shinto steht die Verehrung der Kami, spirituelle Wesenheiten, die in der Natur, den Ahnen, den Geistern der Vorfahren und sogar in gewöhnlichen Objekten wohnen können. Die Vorstellung von einer göttlichen Präsenz, die überall in der Welt existiert, ist tief in der japanischen Kultur verwurzelt und beeinflusst das Denken und Handeln der Menschen auf vielfältige Weise.Ich hoffe, dass dieses Buch Ihnen nicht nur Wissen vermittelt, sondern auch Ihre Neugierde weckt und Ihnen neue Perspektiven eröffnet. Der Shintoismus ist eine Religion, die tief in der japanischen Kultur verwurzelt ist, aber auch universelle Botschaften und Lehren enthält, die für Menschen aller Hintergründe relevant sein können. Indem wir uns mit dem Shinto beschäftigen, haben wir die Möglichkeit, unsere eigene Spiritualität zu erweitern und eine tiefere Verbindung zur Natur und zur Welt um uns herum zu entwickeln.Es ist mir wichtig anzumerken, dass dieses Buch zwar umfangreiche Informationen über den Shintoismus bereitstellt, jedoch nicht den Anspruch erhebt, eine vollständige und endgültige Darstellung dieser komplexen Religion zu sein. Der Shintoismus ist dynamisch und entwickelt sich weiter, und neue Erkenntnisse können unser Verständnis vertiefen oder verändern.

"Translated here for the first time, a collection of heartfelt and intimate advice for Buddhist practice from the modern female Buddhist teacher Sera Khandro Dewe Dorje (1892-1940), revealing her firsthand experiences as a mother, wife, consort, and spiritual teacher of the Dzogchen tradition of Tibetan Buddhism"--

The Buddhist monasticism is one of the oldest kinds of organized monasticism. It is one of the most important institutions within Buddhism. Monks and nuns in a monastery are in charge of preserving and disseminating the Buddha's teachings as well as guiding Buddhist lay people. Modern monastic life in diverse regional traditions is governed by three persisting monastic discipline traditions, including Mulasarvastivada, Theravada, and Dharmaguptaka. The Mulasarvastivada are primarily located in the Himalayan and Tibetan region, the Theravada are predominantly found in Southeast Asia and Sri Lanka, and Dharmaguptaka is popular in East Asia. The topics covered in this extensive book deal with the cultural perspectives on monastic Buddhism. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.

"Life of Pei: The Battle for Compassion is an inspirational read for those who are struggling with their thoughts and direction in life. With a few harrowing passages, the book describes Pei's life experiences and how, she found meaning in her life and a pathway to help other people who needed direction. Instead of using shock tactics, with exposure of cruelty and neglect through the media and social networking, she promoted a reasoned and integrated approach to foster empathy and compassion-not just for other people, but also for animals and the environment. Her covert investigations into wildlife issues, farming, captive animals and companion animals show her bravery and commitment to a task. She came to believe that researching and developing an understanding of cultures is the key to successful and sustainable change in behavior. Acknowledging that in her younger days she was impulsive and intolerant, also often unreasonable with others who she thought should work harder, Pei interviews herself and attempts to analyze what she has learned about herself and human nature. She believes that given the chance to understand the truth about life on earth, many people-but children in particular-will choose compassion over cruelty, and develop respect for themselves and each other, for other species and the natural environment. Pei is the founder of ACTAsia, a groundbreaking charitable organization that works tirelessly to promote compassion for people, kindness towards animals, and respect for our planet. It has evolved in 17 years and Pei explains the heartaches, the headaches and the uncertainty when trying to manage a movement from another country, on a shoestring budget. She highlights the sacrifices her family has made, especially when she was away from home for several weeks at a time, so she could concentrate on the work and development of ACTAsia. She also describes how giving birth to a child in her 40s has given her a different perspective on life. She has learned how to view the world in a calmer manner, through simpler lens. The Life of Pei will inspire all readers and is a poignant and moving read"--

The West is experiencing a widespread phenomenon of spiritual boundary crossing. A majority of Christian denominations are undergoing a sharp decline in membership and participation. At the same time, interest in Buddhism is expanding, capturing the attention of women and men who seek a spiritual path without the restrictive nature of dogmas and doctrines. Increasingly they are turning to Buddhist wisdom, which offers them inspiration and information for increasing happiness and making suffering less frequent. From the very beginning and continuing into the present era, Buddhism has consistently sought to help people cultivate kindness and compassion toward all beings while developing inner peace and outer joy. Some examples of this come directly from the Buddha who said, "You are what you think. All that you are arises from your thoughts. With your thoughts you make your world. Perform those actions you will never regret: actions that will ripen into future joy and delight. A tamed mind brings happiness." This book is a primer for readers who seek to experience Buddhist wisdom, which can guide them toward greater awareness and awakening. Includes a Readers Guide.

"In twenty short, gem-like chapters, Buddhist teacher Tracy Cochran encourages us to see presence as a living force-and to recognize and explore how that shows up in our lives. She offers riveting and relatable stories from her life-a spiritually transformative wine-making trip in France, a near-death experience while being mugged, managing her feisty child while on a retreat with Thich Nhat Hanh, among many others-and Buddhist teachings to encourage us to see the power of presence to illuminate and transform our past, present, and future. Cochran's observations and reminiscences are wise and pithy, and she gives us plenty of encouragement to explore and reframe our own experiences"--

"The Treasury of Precious Instructions by Jamgèon Kongtrul Lodrèo Taye, one of Tibet's greatest Buddhist masters, is a shining jewel of Tibetan literature, presenting essential teachings from the entire spectrum of practice lineages that existed in Tibet. Volumes in this series may be engaged as practice manuals while also preserving ancient teachings significant to the literature and history of world religions. This compendium of Kadam teachings and practice materials represents the scriptural basis for the tradition of the Dalai Lamas, the reincarnation lineage that led Tibet for centuries and now leads in exile. The Kadam tradition is revered by all lineages of Tibetan Buddhism, but is particularly held by the Geluk tradition. The tradition is based on the teachings of the Indian master Atiâsa who traveled to Tibet in the early eleventh century. This volume contains five texts attributed to Atiâsa, and commentaries on those texts by Tsongkhapa, Tåaranåatha, and Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo, and Jamgon Kongtrul. These teachings cover the genres of Mind Training (Lojong), the stages of the path, and the cultivation of the conduct of a bodhisattva, including taking the bodhisattva vow"--

Bhikkhuni Dhammananda defied convention to become the first woman fully ordained in the Thai Theravada Buddhist tradition. Dubbed "Rebel Monk" by the Thai press, she faced enormous opposition by the media, the public, and senior orthodox Thai monks. She has given a fresh existence to the ancient tradition. American author Cindy Rasicot became her student and disciple in 2005. This compelling book tells the story of Venerable Dhammananda's remarkable path from TV personality, author, academic, wife and mother to ordained Bhikkhuni. Cindy Rasicot writes beautifully of their relationship, and shares Bhikkhuni Dhammananda's gentle wisdom and direct insights about how to live a more powerful and compassionate life.

The influence of Chan master Dahui Pujue (1089-1163 CE), one of the most distinguished Chan masters of the Song dynasty, whose authority also spread to Korea and Japan, is still felt today. He is remembered for the method of focussing meditative attention on the key phrase of a koan (kan huatou) and was a lively critic of ¿silent illumination Chan¿. His letters reveal a deep compassion for the ordained and laity alike. Translated by Randolph S. Whitfield

Beim Wort "Seelsorge" denken die meisten Menschen an den Besuch des Pfarrers im Krankenhaus, wenn jemand im Sterben liegt. Doch auch in vielen anderen Religionen gibt es Seelsorge, und dieses Tätigkeitsfeld ist viel breiter und bunter, als man denkt. Im Essayband "Contemplative Care. Wegbereiter der buddhistischen Seelsorge in den USA" erzählen 35 buddhistische Seelsorgerinnen und Seelsorger aus erster Hand über ihre Arbeit im Hospiz, im Gefängnis, im Krankenhaus, am Universitätscampus und im Militär. Sie hören den Menschen zu, sprechen mit ihnen, meditieren mit ihnen, führen buddhistische Zeremonien durch. Sie organisieren Nachmittagsbetreuung für Kinder und Eltern, beraten Studierende auf dem Weg in ein selbstbestimmtes Leben und Helfen ehemaligen Gefängnisinsassen, wieder einen Job zu finden. Kurz gesagt: Sie kümmern sich um andere. Damit dies gelingt, müssen sie sich zuallererst um sich selbst kümmern, mit täglicher Meditation und Kontemplation. Das Buch erschien ursprünglich in den USA und ist nun erstmals auf Deutsch erhältlich. In Europa, auch im deutschsprachigen Raum, gibt es buddhistische Seelsorge, doch sie steckt noch in den Kinderschuhen. Wir haben es uns zum Ziel gesetzt, diese Art des Kümmerns-Umeinander zu fördern und hoffen, dass dieses Buch viele Menschen dazu inspirieren wird.

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 an English version of DAILY MONASTIC CHANTING. It encompasses 16 popular rituals to serve the spiritual needs of any Buddhist sect, including the Pure Land and Meditation Traditions as below:Practice MeditationThe Ceremony for PeaceThe Rice Offering to BuddhasThe Lunch Offering at the Dining HallThe Ritual Offering Food To Hungry GhostsThe Pureland Course of Amitabha SutraThe Medicine Buddha SutraThe New Year CeremonyThe Great Parinirvana CeremonyThe Buddha's Birthday CeremonyThe Ullambana Festival (Parents' Day)The Marriage CeremonyThe Blessing Ceremony for The DeceasedThe Ancestral CeremonyThe Enlightened Buddha CeremonyThe Uposatha Ceremony (Reciting Precepts)With regard to mindful chanting, we take sources from the sacred book, Chanting from the Heart: Buddhist Ceremonies and Daily Practices of Thích Nh¿t H¿nh. In the field of the Pureland School, we have taken material from the above Vietnamese scripture, "Nghi L¿ Hàng Ngày," and translated it into English.We should chant at least once a week, any place and any time, or more often if we have more time.
