Millions outside of Asia become curious about Tibetan Buddhism through hearing and being touched by the words of the Dalai Lama, reading a book about Tibet, seeing images, or watching films. Many who are curious about Buddhist ideas eventually find themselves reaching a point where they are exposed to aspects of Tibetan Buddhism but are unsure what participating in the tradition and its practices entails. In this candid, practical guide from a longtime practitioner, Bruce Newman offers guidance. Special emphasis is placed on the pitfalls and benefits of the guru-disciple relationship.

Aging isn’t easy. But it can still be filled with joy—maybe even more joy than we expect. Alive Until You’re Dead offers a Zen approach to aging. Zen teacher and writer Susan Moon’s stories explore being present with what is, not turning away from what’s difficult, wishing for and working for the wellbeing of others, and being willing not to know what’s next. Moon writes of her most personal vulnerabilities in the service of connecting with everyone. These field notes from an old human being invite us to feel more alive in the final stretch, whatever it holds.

Zen Master Tales collects never-before-translated stories of four prominent Zen masters from the Edo period of Japanese history (1603–1868). Drawn from an era that saw the “democratization” of Japanese Zen, these stories paint a picture of robust, funny, and poignant engagement between Zen luminaries and the emergent chonin or “townsperson” culture of early modern Japan. These masters affirmed that the essentials of Zen practice could be conveyed to all members of Japanese society in ordinary speech, including even comic verse and work songs.

In The Shamanic Bones of Zen, celebrated author and Buddhist teacher Zenju Earthlyn Manuel undertakes a rich exploration of the connections between contemporary Zen practice and shamanic, or indigenous, spirituality. Drawing on her personal journey with the Black church, with African, Caribbean, and Native American ceremonial practices, and with Nichiren and Zen Buddhism, she builds a compelling case for cultivating the shamanic, or magical, elements in Buddhism - many of which have been marginalized by colonialist and modernist forces in the religion.

Come possiamo vivere meglio, appieno, e trovare il senso profondo della nostra esistenza? Come possiamo sentirci felici nonostante i problemi e le preoccupazioni quotidiane? Questo audiolibro cerca di dare qualche risposta a queste domande, di farci vedere la vita da un altro punto di vista, di darci una mano in questi tempi in cui l'incertezza sembra essere l'unica certezza. Che siamo buddisti o meno, alla fine non ha alcuna importanza. L'importante è che possiamo dare e trovare la lifefulness, la felicità in questo mondo. Tutto il resto è secondario. Felicità in questo mondo.

Ti capita spesso di sentirti insoddisfatto della tua vita? L'ansia e lo stress a cui sei sottoposto nella vita quotidiana prendono spesso il sopravvento? Se la risposta è sì, sappi che non sei solo. Di questi tempi è sempre è un problema sempre piu comune: ritagliarsi uno spazio per se stessi tra i mille impegni e aspettative da soddisfare è una sfida costante, e questo porta spesso all'impossibilità di raggiungere uno stato di pace interiore. Secondo recenti studi, in Italia, il 79% delle persone soffre di ansia ed una percentuale ancora maggiore fa fatica a rilassarsi.

In Zen, Zest, Zip, Zap and Zing, Osho responds to questions on love, freedom, morality, women’s role in society, nostalgia, a child’s right to privacy, the purpose of life, and more. Again and again he nudges the listener back to the essential: Zen – awareness, being here and now. While responding to the concerns of the questioners, Osho also illustrates how nonessential their preoccupations are.

I love the statement that the "man of Zen walks in Zen and sits in Zen" for the simple reason that meditation cannot be just a part of your life. You cannot make a fragment of your life meditative.

Gautama Buda é também conhecido como Siddharta Gautama, ou simplesmente Buda, que significa "Despertado" ou "Iluminado". Nascido príncipe, ele escolheu um caminho de ascese apenas para perceber que era uma ilusão tão profunda como a auto-indulgência. Alcançou a Iluminação após 49 dias de meditação; o seu despertar levou-o a descobrir a causa do sofrimento e as formas de o eliminar.

For those of us who feel deeply committed to spiritual realization and to being instruments of benefit in the world, what Carl Jung called "the second half of life" represents a remarkable curriculum for awakening. When wisely understood, the bodily changes inherent in the aging process become stepping-stones on the road to liberation and the actualization of our best human qualities like wisdom, loving kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity.

Dena was a busy midwife trapped on the hamster wheel of working motherhood. Adam was an eccentric Buddhist yogi passing as a hardworking dad. Bella was 14 and wanted to be normal. Sophia was up for anything that involved skipping school. Together, they shouldered backpacks, walked away from their California life of all-night births, carpool schedules, and Cal Skate, and crisscrossed India and Nepal for eight months - a journey that led them to His Holiness the Dalai Lama, the tree where the Buddha sat, and the arms of Amma the Divine Mother.

Centouno spunti per avvicinarsi a una delle manifestazioni più enigmatiche e stimolanti del pensiero orientale. Lo zen, una pratica più che una filosofia o una dottrina, viene esplorato attraverso brevi ed esemplari racconti, che ne svelano i temi principali: la necessità di ricercare l'illuminazione attraverso l'esperienza diretta, l'insufficienza del linguaggio e della logica, il rapporto maestro-discepolo, l'attenzione per ogni singolo istante, l'amore per il paradosso.

Thich Nhat Hanh encourages us to practice metta mediation in the first three days of the new year. On the first day we practice for ourselves. On the second day we practice for the other person we love. On the third day we practice for the other person (or institution) that makes us suffer. Concrete practices are described for the coming year.

The Support Verses: Earliest Sayings of the Buddha is Christopher Carter Sanderson’s best English translation of the title of The Dhammapada, usually transliterated from its original language - Pali, a language older than Sanskrit. While some of the verses in it are in Pali, others have come to us only in Sanskrit. The Dhammapada could be considered the single most ubiquitous collection of the Buddha’s sayings in existence across all Buddhist traditions.
