Diante de um dos momentos mais dramáticos da história da humanidade, é fundamental refletir com serenidade sobre como lidar com os problemas que todos enfrentamos. Uma das maiores líderes espirituais do país, Monja Coen atende a este chamado e faz neste audiolivro um sensível convite ao desapego, como ferramenta para lidar com as dificuldades que a pandemia nos trouxe a todos.

Entering the Mind, by C von Hassett, is a deeply insightful exploration of a timeless wisdom practice known as Dzogchen—a meditation practice which points the practitioner directly to their own innate, naturally occurring mind, or what is otherwise known as “mind in its natural state.” This is the very mind the Buddha spoke of as being already awakened, already enlightened, and this mind is easily accessible and readily observable within each of us.

The notion of dignity is crucial to the question of how best to live a meaningful and fulfilling life, particularly for today’s environment in which so many of us experience self-doubt, low self-esteem, and feelings of being trapped by anxiety, dissatisfaction, or even success. How, in such a circumstance, can we gain authentic and unshakeable dignity? In Awakening Dignity, Phakchok Rinpoche draws from the Tibetan Buddhist wisdom tradition to offer a unique and fresh approach to answer this question.

Theravada Buddhism, often understood as the school that most carefully preserved the practices taught by the Buddha, has undergone tremendous change over time. Prior to Western colonialism in Asia—which brought Western and modernist intellectual concerns, such as the separation of science and religion, to bear on Buddhism—there existed a tradition of embodied, esoteric, and culturally regional Theravada meditation practices.

Through stories from the ancient Pali canon of Buddhism and personal reflections on modern life, Dharma teacher Kevin Griffin reveals the richness and multifaceted nature of loving-kindness or metta on the Buddhist path. Along with the other brahmaviharas or “divine abodes” of compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity, the practice of loving-kindness is not only a meditation technique—it’s a radical way of life based in wisdom, ethics, and compassion for all beings.

According to Pema Chodrön, spiritual practice has nothing to do with “self-improvement” since, as the title of this audiobook explains, you are already perfect just as you are. Deep down, our ultimate nature consists of the four limitless qualities—loving-kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity—and these qualities cannot be improved upon.

Fear and guilt are two of the greatest challenges we face on the spiritual path—but there is a way to transform these painful feelings into courageous self-acceptance. Here Pema Chödrön presents the five aphorisms for developing fearlessness that were given to Machig Lapdronma, one of Tibetan Buddhism's greatest female teachers.

David Chadwick, a Texas-raised wanderer, college dropout, bumbling social activist, and hobbyhorse musician, began his study under Shunryu Suzuki Roshi in 1966. In 1988, Chadwick flew to Japan to begin a four-year period of voluntary exile and remedial Zen education. In Thank You and OK!, he recounts his experiences both inside and beyond the monastery walls and offers insightful portraits of the characters he knew in that world

For those of us who feel caught in endless anxious thoughts and stuck in personal relationships, Anam Thubten offers a direct and practical approach to dismantle our conceptual fixations, reveal the deeper habits that motivate us, and step into the immediate open spaciousness that can heal ourselves and the world. Suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners alike, this book presents the core lessons of the Tibetan practice of Chöd as a fundamental wisdom that is accessible to any of us willing to enter the “haunted grounds” of our own minds.

Just as the archetypal hero possesses the heart to face trials and tribulations for the sake of helping others, the bodhisattva has a remarkable resolve to free others from suffering so that all may achieve true happiness and awakening. Through each challenge, the Buddhist hero of compassion develops rich inner qualities that empower them to be of true benefit to others.

We’ve all heard platitudes about cultivating love and compassion, but how can we really develop these qualities in ourselves and—crucially—share them in our world? Khentrul Rinpoche teaches that regardless of what’s unfolding in our lives, our route to freedom lies in our minds—and how we work with them. The Power of Mind shares instructions that we can work through, one by one—from recognizing the preciousness and impermanence of our lives to avoiding drama and self-centeredness. This wisdom is accessible to anyone seeking inner transformation—Buddhist or not.

L'insegnamento classico del Dalai Lama, quello che viene dalla sua natura originaria di "semplice monaco", è la gentilezza. Tutti vogliamo che ci venga usata, ma quando siamo noi, in prima persona, a compiere un atto gentile, in quel momento di grazia sperimentiamo la massima soddisfazione, ci eleviamo al di sopra di qualsiasi malumore o stress. Non solo: generiamo una catena di effetti positivi su di noi e sulle persone che amiamo dell'amore più autentico.

Zen is a branch of Buddhism that focuses on mindfulness practice and wants to teach everyone how to incorporate peace and tranquility into their regular activities—being open, eager, and having a lack of preconceptions when studying and reading at an advanced level, just as a beginner would. In this audiobook, you will learn about zen and zen practices that are perfect for beginners who want to achieve inner peace. You will learn how to achieve this inner peace through mindfulness and meditation.

Il senso più profondo della visione di Osho si rivela in tutta la sua potenza in questa serie di interviste da lui volute per far conoscere la sua proposta esperienziale al mondo intero. Come lui stesso spiega: "Per tutta la vita non ho fatto altro che stare da solo e pormi come la maggioranza dell'unico, contro il mondo intero. E il motivo per cui ho avuto la forza per oppormi al mondo intero è questo: ho trovato la sorgente della mia vita. Non dipendo da nessuno. Non ho bisogno di essere ammirato, non necessito di complimenti, ricompense o premi Nobel. Io basto a me stesso."

Fin dalla più tenera età Osho si pone di fronte alla vita come spirito libero, rifiuta persino la fede della famiglia, di religione giainista, e sfida sempre e comunque il potere costituito e chi lo rappresenta. Termina comunque gli studi nel 1956, laureandosi in filosofia e prosegue la carriera universitaria come professore. Solo agli inizi degli anni Sessanta si sente pronto a intraprendere un tipo di lavoro diverso: aiutare altri esseri umani a vivere la stessa esperienza da lui vissuta.

Learn how to communicate with compassion and choose language that reflects your personal values and aims with this essential guide to Nonviolent Communication (NVC). Judith Hanson Lasater and Ike Lasater, longtime students of yoga and Buddhism, had studied the concepts of satya (truth) and the Buddhist principle of right speech for years, but it was not until they began practicing Marshall Rosenberg’s techniques of NVC that the concept of speech as a spiritual practice became real for them.

The Venerable Ayya Khema was beloved for her crystal-clear presentation, the extremely practical guidance she always gave, and the open-hearted quality of her teachings. In The Path to Peace, she presents a complete course in the active and intentional process to cultivate peace through metta, unconditional love. Peace is the sum of many parts, namely the fifteen wholesome qualities the Buddha himself noted in the Metta Sutta, including usefulness, mildness, humility, contentment, receptivity, and others.

Sono molte le pratiche dell'insegnamento buddhista che si concentrano sull'essere nel momento presente. È una condizione che ci permette di tradurre in pratica i principi fondamentali della dottrina: se rimaniamo vincolati al passato, se siamo ansiosi per il futuro, se non sperimentiamo il vuoto che deriva dalla rinuncia all'attaccamento, se non comprendiamo fino in fondo l'interdipendenza di tutte le cose, non saremo mai nelle condizioni di vivere la vita nella sua pienezza. E di trovare la pace e la felicità, qui e adesso.

Prima o poi certe domande a cui non siamo riusciti a rispondere, che abbiamo accantonato in un angolo della mente, si ripresentano decise a non farsi più mettere da parte. In questo breve ma prezioso saggio, Montanari le affronta in modo originale. Il cuore del audiolibro è un'antologia di brani tratti dal Vangelo, messi a confronto con altrettanti passi della letteratura buddhista e, in particolare, della vasta e vivacissima aneddotica sui maestri ch'an (cinesi) e zen (giapponesi). Il risultato è sbalorditivo: nel Vangelo esiste davvero un Cristo zen.

Koans are the record of paradoxical and provocative exchanges between Zen masters and their students that developed in medieval China. These exchanges, though often elaborated through commentary, have also been boiled down to one-line questions or statements to be held in meditation and daily life. Famous examples include, "What is the sound of one hand?" and "Not knowing is most intimate." In Through Forests of Every Color, renowned Zen teacher Joan Sutherland reimagines the koan tradition with allegiance to the root spirit of the koans.
