Quel chemin suivre à présent ? Tels des tornades, des changements très violents bouleversent notre époque. Ils font et défont les destins, testent nos limites. Où trouver refuge dans le tumulte ? Le monde ne va pas s'arrêter pour nous laisser descendre en marche, alors que faire et quel chemin prendre ? Doit-on plier ou se briser ? La pratique de Vipassana nous permet d'expérimenter le changement, en le comprenant totalement, à chaque instant de notre vie quotidienne.>Le livre est composé de trois parties: Partie A: Vipassana - Méditer sur le changement . Cette partie porte un regard sur l'impact du changement sur nos vies quotidiennes, ce qu'est Vipassana et ce qui se passe lors d'un cours de dix jours. Partie B: Vipassana - Changer le quotidien . Cette partie décrit les différentes manières dont les individus et les organisations appliquent l'enseignement au quotidien, chez eux, avec des amis et dans des cadres aussi divers que l'éducation, les affaires et l'administration, les réformes sociales et la santé.Les annexes fournissent des informations pour ceux qui désirent en savoir plus sur Vipassana et sur les modalités à effectuer pour se rendre à un cours.

I över 40 års tid undervisade S.N. Goenka (1924-2013) i Vipassanameditation, enligt de instruktioner han fått av sin lärare, Sayagyi U Ba Khin (1899-1971). Även efter S.N. Goenkas död deltar varje år hundratusentals människor i meditationskurser enligt den levande tradition han representerar. Satipaṭṭhāna sutta anses av många vara Buddhas viktigaste föredrag om meditation. I denna bok ges Goenkajis tolkning av detta föredrag, baserat på undervisningen på den 7-dagarskurs i Satipaṭṭhāna sutta som ges varje år på Vipassanacenter runtom i varlden. Denna bok bör med fördel läsas tillsammans med häftet Maha-satipaṭṭhāna sutta, som innehåller själva föredraget på pälispråket som talades av Buddha, med en fullständig översättning till svenska. Häftet är kursmaterial på 7-dagars- kursen i Satipaṭṭhāna sutta.

Unlike stiff biographies of the Buddha or biographies that are replete with mystery and magic, Footprints in the Dust enables us get to know the Buddha as a human being-a deeply compassionate and wise person who not only actualized the path to enlightenment but also shared the way to accomplish that path with countless others so that they too may gain supreme peace. We learn of the challenges Gotama faced-many similar to our own-and how he dealt with them. We see his responses when praised and blamed, when confronted with crises within the Order and disputes among kings and couples. We see how he guided monastic and lay disciples with their diverse personalities and dispositions. In getting an insider's glimpse into how his wisdom and compassion manifested when engaged in situations that we too may experience, we learn how to work in a constructive way with whatever life brings us. This is an inspiring and engaging book that you will read and reread many times.>What was the Buddha like as a human being? How did he relate to others? With great care and an eye for detail, Venerable Dhammika pieces together the life events we can 'read' from very early texts. The result is a truly authoritative biography. It shows that as a man, as well as a teacher, the historical Buddha was remarkable indeed. The chapter headings are refreshingly original: a day in the life of, his humour, his debating style, his background. I really enjoyed thinking about Gotama Buddha simply as a person - and clearly an extraordinary one, as Ven. Dhammika shows us. I recommend this book to anyone who would like a down-to-earth, accurate and readable appraisal of the founder of this great world religion, seen through modern eyes.-Sarah Shaw>___________________________________Bhante Shravasti Dhammika was born in Australia in 1951 and became a monk in India in 1976 under Anagarika Dharmapala's last disciple Venerable Matiwella Sangharatana.

The pragmatic nature of the Buddha's teaching makes it perennially relevant to all times, and perhaps especially useful for coping with the difficulties of the present age. Leaving aside metaphysical and theological considerations, the Buddha's teaching focuses on what each person can do here and now to overcome the roots of suffering.The heart of this teaching is meditation, which aims at two goals: the calming down of the restless mind and the arousing of insight into the true nature of existence. The present widely acclaimed book explains the methods of Buddhist meditation in a concise yet complete account according to the oldest Buddhist tradition, that based on the Pali Canon. The aim of the book is essentially practical. While providing all the information necessary to proper understanding, the stress is on the need for practice and personal commitment. This work will both instruct the beginner and inspire the experienced meditator."An excellent reference book ...Will appeal to beginners and non-beginners alike, and will meet the need for a more readable publication in this complex field of spiritual activity."-Buddhist Studies Review

Após os atentados terroristas do 11 de setembro em 2001, eu me peguei refletindo sobre a não violência, suas contribuições, seus limites e seu lugar nos ensinamentos do Buda. Também me surpreendi ao ouvir muitos dos meus conhecidos confundindo, nos ensinamentos do Buda, não violência com pacifismo. Ao confundirem essa diferença, eles acabam rejeitando a não violência de uma forma desesperadamente ingênua e inadvertidamente destrutiva, ou abraçando grupos politizados do pacifismo que imaginam, incorretamente, ser o que o Buda ensinou.

"The Buddha traces the entire progress of a disciple from the first step on the path to the attainment of Nibbana in this second sutta of the Sutta Pitaka, one of the most elevating of the Buddha's discourses. On a full-moon night in Autumn, in reply to a question asked by King Ajatasattu of Magadha, the Buddha expounds the visible fruits of the Buddhist monk's life, sketching the progress of the disciple. "...the Samannaphala Sutta sounds a triumphant and lyrical proclamation of the fruitfulness of the course of spiritual training founded upon right view. It is the Buddha's announcement to the world that the life of renunciation he adopted for himself and opened up to humanity by founding the sangha brings immediately visible benefits in each of its stages. It is 'good in the beginning' through the bliss of blamelessness that comes with the purification of conduct; 'good in the middle' in yielding an exalted joy and bliss through the seclusion of the mind from the sensual hindrances; and 'good in the end' because it culminates in the highest wisdom and peace by transcending all mundane bonds." (From the translator's Preface) The work is not only a great spiritual classic, but also a literary gem distinguished by its beauty of poetic imagery"--
