In diesem Buch leitet uns Pyar: zur Meditation, zu wahrer Stille, zu unzerstörbarem Glück. Jenseits von Glaubensvorstellungen und Konzepten spricht sie aus dem Herzen zum Herzen über Liebe, Hingabe, Wahrheit, über Frieden, Stille, Mensch-Sein, über Freude, Grundlegende Gutheit, Da-Sein. Diese deutsche Mystikerin lehrt die Essenz der Religionen - hier und heute. Sie spricht aus der inneren Autorität eines Wissens, das sich nicht zwischen zwei Buchdeckel einsperren lässt. Und doch ist dieses Buch eine Schatztruhe. Wer es aufschlägt, wird an der Hand genommen, um Frieden, Glück und Stille zu erfahren und im Alltag umzusetzen. 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. "Stille und Leben, Spiritualität und Welt, Göttlichkeit und Menschlichkeit, Leere und Fülle sind nicht zu trennen. Das Mysterium ist unendlich, immer weiter und weiter und tiefer und tiefer."

A TV personality, academic, and author, Bhikkhuni Dhammananda defied convention to become the first woman fully ordained in the Thai Theravada Buddhist tradition. She shattered gender barriers and inspired a new era of equality and compassion. Her student, American author Cindy Rasicot, tells her story, and shares Bhikkhuni Dhammananda's gentle wisdom and direct insights about how to live a more 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. 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. If there is any merit in compiling this book, may it be shared with all sentient beings. May they diligently practice and soon gain the way of love and understanding.Reciting the sutras, practicing the way of awarenessgives rise to benefits without limit.We vow to share the fruits with all beings.We vow to offer tribute to parents, teachers, friends,and numerous beings whogive guidance and support along the path.(Thích Nh¿t H¿nh)H¿¿ng Sen Temple, Riverside, CaliforniaMarch 15, 2023Bhikkhun¿ Gi¿i H¿¿ng

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. 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.

The mysteries of Tantra have engrossed countless meditators for centuries. Since the time of Buddha, these secrets have been passed down from accomplished master to disciple largely by word of mouth. Now drawing from his own experience and the works of Je Tsongkhapa and other great Tibetan Yogis, Geshe Kelsang clearly sets out all the stages of the four classes of Tantra, giving a full explanation of generation and completion stages. Tantra is revealed as the gateway to a blissful new world. The book represents a significant milestone in revealing these profound mysteries to the contemporary world.

Wer nur herumsitzt, ist eine faule Socke. So jedenfalls denken viele. Aber was ist mit Diogenes in der dicken Amphore oder dem japanischen Reise-Philosophen Basho, der besonders gerne in einer Hütte aus Bananenblättern hockte? Sie alle dachten nach. Wer bin ich und wenn ich bin, wo bin ich? Was macht das Leben für einen Sinn? Das sind doch mal durchaus Fragen, die der Mensch sich stellen kann. Viele dieser grundlegenden Gedanken über den Sinn unseres Lebens werden in dem Buch gestellt und es wird versucht, hinter das eine oder andere Geheimnis zu kommen. Eines ist aber jedenfalls klar: Das Paradies ist möglich und wer sitzt und nachdenkt, ist alles andere als eine faule Socke.

Sám h¿i thì ¿¿¿c an vui, n¿u không sám h¿i thì t¿i l¿i càng thêm n¿ng. Ng¿¿i không có l¿i thì yên l¿ng, vì yên l¿ng nên bi¿t ¿¿i chúng thanh t¿nh.Ch¿ ¿¿i chúng l¿ng nghe! Sau khi ¿¿c Ph¿t di¿t ¿¿, trong th¿i m¿t pháp nên ph¿i tôn kính Ba La ¿¿ M¿c Xoa. Ba La ¿¿ M¿c Xoa chính là Gi¿i Pháp này. Ng¿¿i trì gi¿i này nh¿ ¿i trong ¿êm t¿i g¿p ¿èn sáng, nh¿ nghèo ¿¿¿c châu báu, nh¿ b¿nh ¿¿¿c lành, nh¿ ng¿¿i tù ¿¿¿c th¿, nh¿ k¿ ¿i xa ¿¿¿c v¿ nhà. Các v¿ nên bi¿t r¿ng, Gi¿i pháp này là b¿c th¿y sáng süt c¿a ¿¿i chúng, không khác ¿¿c Ph¿t còn ¿ ¿¿i.N¿u không có lòng s¿ t¿i, thì tâm lành khó n¿y sanh. Cho nên trong Kinh có l¿i d¿y: Ch¿ xem th¿¿ng nh¿ng l¿i nh¿ mà cho là không t¿i, gi¿t n¿¿c d¿u nh¿ l¿n l¿n s¿ ¿¿y c¿ chum l¿n. Lúc t¿o t¿i ch¿ng trong giây phút mà ph¿i c¿ nghìn muôn n¿m ch¿u kh¿ n¿i ¿¿a ng¿c. M¿t phen b¿ ¿¿a l¿c m¿t thân ng¿¿i, thì muôn ¿¿i khó ¿¿¿c l¿i thân.S¿c tr¿ chuy¿n bi¿n không d¿ng, d¿¿ng nh¿ ng¿a ch¿y. M¿ng ng¿¿i vô th¿¿ng mau h¿n n¿¿c d¿c. Ngày nay d¿u còn, khó b¿o ¿¿m ¿¿¿c ngày mai. ¿¿i chúng m¿i ng¿¿i nên nh¿t tâm c¿n c¿u tinh t¿n. Ch¿ bi¿ng nhác tr¿ l¿¿i, phóng túng ng¿ ngh¿. Ban ¿êm ph¿i nh¿t tâm ni¿m Ph¿t tham thi¿n, ch¿ ¿¿ th¿i gian nhàn không, lüng qua vô ích, mà sau này ph¿i ¿n n¿n không k¿p.Ch¿ ¿¿i chúng! M¿i ng¿¿i nên nhi¿p tâm cung kính y theo l¿i Pháp này mà tu hành, chuyên c¿n h¿c t¿p.

Hôm nay có khá nhi¿u ng¿¿i thüc m¿i thành ph¿n xã h¿i cùng t¿ t¿u ¿ ¿ây, k¿ c¿ m¿t s¿ ng¿¿i ¿¿n t¿ Tây T¿ng. Hôm nay, chúng ta t¿ t¿u v¿ ¿ây không ph¿i ¿¿ nghe k¿ chuy¿n này, chuy¿n n¿, mà là ¿¿ l¿ng nghe Ph¿t pháp.
