    HVORDAN SKAL VI LEVE VORES LIV, SÅ DET BLIVER ET GODT LIV?Måske går du rundt med en længsel efter et liv med mere plads til at være menneske; måske sætter du endda spørgsmålstegn ved, om din måde at leve dit liv på overhovedet giver mening.Du tror måske, at spørgsmålet er affødt af en hektisk hverdag, der ikke levner dig plads til at standse op og være dig selv. Men allerede oldtidens græske, kinesiske og indiske filosoffer var optaget af, hvad det gode liv er - og filosofien har i årtusinder indeholdt et tidløst budskab om, at vi kan vælge at leve i bedre overensstemmelse med vores menneskelige værdier: Vi må konfrontere os selv med døden, ransage vores egne hjerter og træde ud af flokken, lære at acceptere os selv og finde vores kald i livet.Livskunsten er en åndelig opdagelsesrejse i filosofiens og litteraturens svar på, hvad det gode liv er. Tag med, og bliv klogere på livet, døden, kærligheden - og på dig selv.

  • - En bog om vejen og vejens magt
    af Ursula K. Le Guin
    208,95 kr.

    Dette er en ny, poetisk version af det femogtyvehundrede år gamle kinesiske skrift. Ursula K. Le Guin påbegyndte sin oversættelse i 1950’erne og færdiggjorde fyrre år senere sin udgave i sam-arbejde med oversætteren J. P. Seaton, professor i kinesisk og Asienstudier. Sammen har de skabt en oversættelse, der skiller sig ud fra tidligere versioner ved først og fremmest at insistere på værkets læselighed og litterære kvaliteter. Le Guins store kærlighed og livslange kendskab til teksten, og hendes klare og stærke billedsprog, løfter og udfolder Laozis poesi og skaber en ny kilde til værket. Her foreligger Le Guins oversættelse på dansk ved Karsten Sand Iversen.

    The Treasured Guide to Spiritual Growth and EnlightenmentThe Secret of the Golden Flower is an ancient Chinese text, passed on for centuries, in which Taoist mystics reveal the path to true enlightenment. The first written version was believed to have originated with Lü Dongbin, a legendary scholar, poet, and spiritual master. This remarkable and important work, first published in the United States in 1931, is Cary F. Baynes's elegant English translation of sinologist Richard Wilhelm's 1929 German translation of the original Taoist texts. This edition includes insightful philosophical commentary by psychologist Carl Jung which helps explain the metaphysical aspects of the text, providing valuable insights for westerners.In the text, symbols for light represented awareness, which is normally directed outward toward externals. The method of redirecting one's consciousness inward towards the self through a straightforward form of silent meditation and breathing was known as "turning the light around." Through this process of channeling energy beyond the limits of the discriminating intellect, one's psyche-indeed, one's fundamental being-can gradually open and blossom into an awakening of the mind and spirit. The result can be metaphorically pictured as a bright "golden flower" mandala, representing the rewarding end goal of a personal alchemy of inner transformation. The simple method described has been called "Zen with details." Like a practical workbook for achieving enlightenment, this clearly written meditation manual explores foundational techniques to experience elevated states of consciousness. It is nothing less than a spiritual seeker's road map to discovering the secret to peace of mind. This book is also available from Churchill & Dunn in paperback (ISBN 1648374085 ).

    The pandemic, climate change, rising populism, geo-political unrest - just a few of the issues causing turbulence in today's world. We are living and working in times that are complex and fast changing. If complexity theory is good for anything, it must be able to throw light on this global landscape and help us to think through what to do in response. Jean Boulton, with her background in the physical as well as the social sciences, and her practical experience of management and consultancy, is well placed to present complexity theory and its implications in a way that is fresh, profound and accessible. The Dao of Complexity is a book about challenging and deepening worldviews, connecting ideas from such diverse fields as quantum physics, process philosophy, phenomenology, systems change, politics, economics and psychology as well as ancient wisdom. It explores what 'making sense' of the world means in these turbulent times and how that galvanises action. The book introduces 'process complexity'. It explores the remarkable resonance between the complexity worldview and Daoism, engaging with the processual, contextual and emergent nature both of ourselves and of the world of which we are a part. Jean discusses what this means for those of us trying to make a difference, trying to 'make waves' in a world of increasing connectivity, polarisation and fragility. Taking its lead from Daoist texts, the design encourages readers to open at any page and use the short, stand-alone, yet networked pieces as reflective starting points. This book is about change - how to attune to its natural flow and how to 'make change happen'. It will be of interest to scholars and students of management and sustainability, as well as practicing managers, policy makers and consultants looking for inspiration. The general reader interested in science, philosophy and ancient wisdom will find relatable material to explore how to engage effectively in this complex world.

    "...an amazing tale, told in a fast-paced and entertaining style." --Publishers Weekly This is the latest edition of Opening the Dragon Gate--the authorized biography of contemporary Taoist master Wang Liping (1949--). Wang is an 18th generation transmitter of Dragon Gate Taoism. This book tells the true story of his apprenticeship in Taoist wizardry, as well as the specialized body of knowledge, mystical wisdom and ritualized practice accumulated and refined over eleven centuries. His story begins with a seemingly chance encounter with three Taoist elders when he was a young boy. What follows is a philosophical quest in a coming-of-age tale like no other, playing out in mountainside temples and remote reaches of China. Wang's story parallels that of the Dalai Lama, as--like Tibetan Buddhists--Dragon Gate Taoists identify, raise and train specially chosen youngsters to become the holders, guardians and transmitters of their ancient, esoteric spiritual wisdom. While few of us will become spiritual gurus like Wang, his story speaks clearly and concisely to modern readers who are on their own "chosen paths," seeking their own forms of self-cultivation, enlightenment, wisdom and a life of greater harmony and truth.

    "The Blue Cliff Record, a twelfth-century collection of Ch'an (Zen) koans, is a treasure of world religious literature. Like any such text, it operates at several levels: it is a remarkable example of classical Chinese literature and poetry; it is a philosophical text of profound power; and it is an active practice guide in use by Ch'an and Zen Buddhists all over the world. In this innovative rendering, renowned translator David Hinton pares the Chinese original down to its earliest and most essential version-the sangha-cases (koans) and brief poetic responses (or gathas, meaning a Buddhist "sutra-poem") compiled by the great master Snow-Chute Mountain (Hsèueh Tou, 980-1052). In doing so, he brings the reader closer to the Taoist cosmological framework that lays at the foundation of the entire Ch'an tradition-revealing a whole new understanding of this seminal text. In these one hundred classic koans, beginners will discover a strange, funny, and provocative world of quixotic exchanges and penetrating insights, and longtime koan practitioners will find themselves challenged anew by Hinton's masterful translations"--

    Zen to Reveal the Extraordinary Tao offers an accessible and hands-on guide to how we can use the insights of Zen Buddhism and Taoism to inform and enrich our daily lives. In a search to know something more than our 'I-self', psychologist Trevor Rufli describes how the 'knowing' that came to him in his own journey 'turned everything on its head' and set everything in the opposite direction to where he had been looking: The really wonderful thing about this knowing is that it is not something we need to come to know through acquiring knowledge, becoming religious, doing spiritual stuff, making an effort or doing anything in particular. You don't have to believe anything either. Rather this knowing is acquired through a process of understanding that is a process of letting go rather than accruing. Trevor draws on the knowledge and experience of the giants of Zen Buddhism and Taoism to clarify paradoxical matters such as: non-doing versus doing nothing, self and non-self, desire and fulfilment, and the potential pitfalls of specific spiritual practices. Whether you are an experienced spiritual seeker, or engaged in self-exploration for the first time, Zen to Reveal the Extraordinary Tao is a unique experiential guide.

    "The concept of alchemy in Daoist philosophy describes the process of individual transformation that occurs as a result of long-term meditation practice. While that classical terminology may seem arcane, it actually beautifully represents Daoism's straightforward philosophy. In clear and engaging language, Ten Discourses on Daoist Alchemy shows us that alchemy is not something one does, but a process that unfolds when one 'does nothing'-meaning abiding in one's basic, primordial state. It teaches the entire process of Daoist inner alchemy cultivation through meditation practices and includes authentic explanations of fundamental theories and methods needed to actually start walking the path. To create this book, Ge Guolong, a contemporary academic, drew from his lectures on the 'Oral Record from the Hall of Joyous Teaching,' written by Huang Yuanji -a Daoist master from the late-Ming, early-Qing Dynasty (1636-1912). Guolong's vivid explanation of this classic text will surprise readers with its clarity and practicality. Huang's teachings synthesize Daoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism, and readers who have found Daoist books to be too vague, too interpretive, or too baroque to be practical will appreciate this book an excellent entry point to Daoist philosophy and its accessible meditation practices"
