Möchten Sie im Chaos des Lebens inneren Frieden finden? In dem von Deepack Chopra empfohlenen Hörbuch "Weisheit des ungesicherten Lebens" zeigt Alan Watts, ein weltberühmter Religionsphilosoph, auf, wie unsere moderne Gesellschaft aufgrund ihrer Betonung von materiellem Erfolg, Sicherheit und Kontrolle oft keine Freude in den Menschen hervorbringt. Er argumentiert, dass das Leben tiefgründig und unvorhersehbar ist und es letztlich an uns liegt, ihm einen Sinn zu geben, wobei Erfüllung nur aus der Akzeptanz der Vergänglichkeit dieses Lebens resultiert.

For Marc Lesser the key to healthy relationships and effective workplaces is compassionate accountability—a practical and trainable way to clarify and achieve shared visions of success. Marc works from the premise that problems are inevitable and that the success of an enterprise or relationship relies on how they are resolved. This applies to any joint effort—in a workplace, a family, a civic organization, a community, a country, or the world at large.

Japanese by birth but transplanted to Europe in adulthood, Miki Sakamoto has spent a lifetime tending her garden and reflecting on its mysteries. Why do primulas bloom in snow? Do the trees really ‘talk’ to one another? What are the blackbirds saying today? And is there a mindful way to deal with an aphid infestation? From rising early to walk barefoot on the grass each morning, to afternoons and evenings spent sipping tea in her gazebo or watching fireflies as she recalls her childhood in Japan, Sakamoto shares observations from a life spent in contemplation – and cultivation – of nature.

Mit diesem #1 Bestseller Glück und Zufriedenheit finden. In diesem Buch stellt die Autorin Shiva Singh verschiedene inspirierende Geschichten aus dem Buddhismus vor. Die Geschichten erlauben dem Leser eine neue Sicht auf Glück und Zufriedenheit einzunehmen, die zum Nachdenken und Überdenken einladen. Meistens liegt die Antwort des Glücks in einem selbst und nicht in der Umgebung. Dafür muss der Mensch allerdings alles vergessen und loslassen, was er bisher gelernt und gehört hat. Glück ist letztlich nämlich einfach nur eine Frage der Perspektive.

Climbing is a sport of perception, and our level of attainment is a matter of mind as much as body.

By philosopher, essayist and lifelong climber Francis Sanzaro, The Zen of Climbing explores the fundamentals of successful climbing, delving into psychology, neuroscience, philosophy and Taoism. Awareness, Sanzaro argues, is the alchemy of climbing, allowing us to merge mental and physical attributes in one embodied whole. This compact volume, by the author of the classic The Boulder: A Philosophy of Bouldering, puts the climber’s mind at the forefront of practice.

In clear words, Zen Master Zensho W. Kopp shows us in an inspiring way how we can see through the deceptive nature of our concepts so that we rise up above our self-made limitations. Through this we transcend our identification with the unreal and reach the absolute reality of our true self. We experience a liberating transformation to a deeper and all-embracing universal consciousness and thus to freedom of the mind.

"Wir müssen aus dem tiefsten Nichtdenken heraus denken (...) das Optimum, das Bersten, der Orgasmus des Bewusstseins, das Jenseits-des-Denkens, das absolute, kosmische, universale, globale Denken (...) tritt unbewusst, natürlich und automatisch ein." (Taisen Deshimaru, Zen-Meister). Der Geist wird in einem Moment ganz plötzlich unendlich weit und löst sich im großen Ganzen auf: Was könnte die Erfahrung der Erleuchtung besser beschreiben, als das Bild einer Explosion in die Unendlichkeit.

Buddhism aims for the development of a flexible mind and skillful responsiveness-whether toward problems in one's personal life or broader issues like the ecological crisis. But in a culture now saturated with cliches about mindfulness and unrealistic fantasies about happiness, what does it truly mean to walk this path? The key practice is that of embodied aliveness.

Die Basics der Achtsamkeit vom großen Zen-Meister Thich Nhat Hanh. Viele Menschen erfahren Überforderung, Erschöpfung und Konzentrationsmangel. Der Schlüssel zu einer inneren Stabilität heißt Achtsamkeit. Denn wie Thich Nhat Hanh in diesem Ratgeber erklärt, bringt das Praktizieren von Achtsamkeit Konzentration und Präsenz, und dies wiederum führt zu Einsicht, Verständnis und Glück.

Being-Time thoroughly explores Dogen's teaching on how we practice as Buddhas by understanding the relationship between being and time as it is—and as we perceive it to be. Using Dogen's Shobogenzo Uji (The True Dharma Eye, Being-Time), Shinshu Roberts offers a twofold analysis of this teaching: the meaning of the text and practice with the text, giving examples how we apply Dogen's complex teaching to our daily lives.

Appalachian Zen describes a journey we all take, one that Buddhism calls "seeking our true home." Edgy, lyrical, and lovingly rendered, this book recounts how a kid from a Pennsylvania mill-town trailer park grew up—surrounded by backwoods farms and amid grief, violence, and passionate yearning—to become something improbable: a Buddhist minister teaching Zen.

Si le mot " zen " a pris place dans notre vocabulaire, son sens est très éloigné de la pratique d'une sagesse orientale qui se fonde sur une discipline stricte du corps et de l'esprit afin de voir clair dans sa propre nature. Zen signifie méditation. Originaire de l'Inde, l'école bouddhiste dhyana en sanscrit, samten en tibétain, thiên en vietnamien, chan en chinois, sôn en coréen devient le zen au Japon. Cette pratique prône la prise de conscience de soi en tant que Bouddha grâce à un enseignement.

Der bekannte Zen-Meister Thich Nhat Hanh erklärt anhand eines alten buddhistischen Textes, wie Erleuchtung in unserem lauten Alltag verwirklicht werden kann. Viele Menschen glauben, dass Nirvana ein entfernter Ort der Glückseligkeit sei. Doch schon der Buddha lehrte, dass es nur im Hier und Jetzt zu finden ist. Vor diesem Hintergrund erläutert Thich Nhat Hanh in diesem buddhistischen Standardwerk die 36 Verse aus dem "Kapitel über Nirvana" des Chinesischen Dharmapada.

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.
