When people and circumstances upset us, how do we deal with them? Often, we feel victimized. We become hurt, angry, and defensive. We end up seeing others as enemies, and when things don’t go our way, we become enemies to ourselves. But what if we could move past this pain, anger, and defensiveness? Inspired by Buddhist philosophy, this book introduces us to the four kinds of enemies we encounter in the outer enemy, people, institutions, and situations that mean to harm us; the inner enemy, anger, hatred, fear, and other destructive emotions; the secret enemy, self-obsession that isolates us from others; and the super-secret enemy, deep-seated self-loathing that prevents us from finding inner freedom and true happiness. In this practical guide, we learn not only how to identify our enemies, but more important, how to transform our relationship to them. Love Your Enemies teaches us how to . . . break free from the mode of “us” versus “them” thinking develop compassion, patience, and love accept what is beyond our control embrace lovingkindness, right speech, and other core concepts Throughout, authors Sharon Salzberg and Robert Thurman share stories and exercises for achieving finding peace within yourself and with the world. Drawing from ancient spiritual wisdom and modern psychology, Love Your Enemies presents tools that are useful for all readers.

Chi è Siddhartha? È uno che cerca, e cerca soprattutto di vivere intera la propria vita. Passa di esperienza in esperienza, dal misticismo alla sensualità, dalla meditazione filosofica alla vita degli affari, e non si ferma presso nessun maestro, non considera definitiva nessuna acquisizione, perché ciò che va cercato è il tutto, il misterioso tutto che si veste di mille volti cangianti. E alla fine quel tutto, la ruota delle apparenze, rifluirà dietro il perfetto sorriso di Siddharta, che ripete il «costante, tranquillo, fine, impenetrabile, forse benigno, forse schernevole, saggio, multirugoso sorriso di Gotama, il Buddha, quale egli stesso l’aveva visto centinaia di volte con venerazione».

Robert Thurman asks us to examine our assumptions about life and death, and to consider the possibility that our lives are not only meaningful, but that they have an enormous impact.

Robert Thurman teaches the reader to let go of a rigid sense of 'self' and to fully experience full satisfaction with ourselves, the people who surround us and contribute meaningfully to the world.

Grenzenlos leben - wer wollte das nicht? Doch ist dies nicht ein Aufruf, noch egoistischer und selbstbezogener zu sein, als wir es ohnehin schon sind? Robert Thurman lädt uns in seinem neuen Buch ein, die Möglichkeit eines grenzenlosen Lebens zuzulassen. Wenn wir uns nicht auf unsere gegenwärtige Lebensspanne beschränken, sondern das Leben in einer erweiterten Perspektive betrachten, dann erwächst daraus ein Gefühl tiefer Verbundenheit zu allem, was uns umgibt - ein neues Gefühl der Verantwortung für uns selbst und andere. Wir müssen, so Thurman, unsere "Unsterblichkeit" leben, und zwar hier und jetzt, müssen in der Gegenwart die Verantwortung übernehmen für unser Handeln und dessen Wirkungen. Eine solche Sichtweise wird unser Leben, wird unsere Gesellschaft grundlegend verändern. Stützpfeiler einer solchen Entwicklung sind sechs Elemente: Weisheit, Großzügigkeit, Gerechtigkeit, Geduld, Kreativität und Kontemplation. Ausführliche Übungsanleitungen in jedem Kapitel helfen, das siebte Element, die Kunst des grenzenlosen Lebens, zu entfalten.

"In Anger, Robert A. F. Thurman, one of America's leading authorities on Buddhism and Eastern philosophy, offers a look at this deadliest of sins. In the West, Thurman points out, anger is seen as an inevitable part of life, an evil to be borne, not overcome. There is the tradition of the wrathful God, of Jesus driving the money-changers from the temple. If God can be angry, how can men rid themselves of this destructive emotion? Thurman shows that Eastern philosophy sees anger differently. Certainly, it is a dreadful evil, one of the "three poisons" that underlie all human suffering. But Buddhism teaches that anger can be overcome. Indeed, the defeat of anger is not only possible, but also the only thing worth doing in a lifetime. Thurman shows how to recognize the destructiveness of anger and understand its workings, and how we can go from having a slave to anger to becoming "a knight of patience." We discover finally that when this deadliest emotion is transmitted by wisdom, it can become the most powerful force in freeing us from human suffering."--BOOK JACKET

Traditionele Tibetaans boeddhistische handleiding voor de fase tussen sterven en het volgende leven.

Beschrijving van een pelgrimstocht naar de heiligste plaats in het Tibetaans boeddhisme, de berg Kailas.

Maggio 1995. In un bar di Woodstock, tra un concitato vociare di cadenze europee, si incontrano due singolari personaggi. Il primo è una delle più indiscusse autorità del buddhismo tibetano in America, colui che il Dalai Lama ha ribattezzato Tenzin, il Sostenitore della Dottrina; il secondo è uno scrittore dalla vita turbolenta, segnata da alcool, relazioni instabili e ambizioni frustrate. Nulla li accomuna, se non il luogo di nascita, Woodstock appunto, un posto ottuso e mondano per il primo, attraente per il secondo. Eppure, tra presentazioni e convenevoli, dolci e caffè, i due progettano insieme una spedizione sul Kailash, il monte che, nella tradizione buddhista tibetana, è il centro dell'universo, la sede del palazzo dell'Illuminato e delle sessantadue divinità beate. Per Thurman, il Kailash non evoca soltanto il cuore della dottrina buddista, ma è la chiave per accedere al mutamento vero dell'esistenza. Per Wise, invece, il bisogno disperato di sottoporsi a una disciplina e, insieme, neve e gelo, altitudini inebrianti e paesaggi incomparabili. Questi due punti di vista, così opposti e complementari, alimentano il racconto della spedizione racchiuso in questo libro e ne fanno una delle più complete descrizioni del Kailash e della civiltà tibetana.

"Inner Revolution" shows that it is a misunderstanding of reality that produces the cynicism we now live with. The Western world view has taken root through a view of history that sees wars as its landmarks; a view of society indicating that we should expect the worst of one another; a view of life as a one-time, meaningless event. Enlightenment scientists, as Thurman calls those who have followed in the footsteps of the Buddha, have left behind a method for proving just the opposite. Other histories and the empirical exploration of reality and the psyche by the Buddha demonstrate that the worldview the West has inherited is nothing but a trick of our own imaginations. "Inner Revolution" reveals the principles of the movement to celebrate individual happiness, which the Buddha initiated 2,500 years ago, and shows how to continue it. This is a deeply intelligent primer on practical Buddhism, written in the engaging context of a completely original understanding of the history of civilization.

In addition to capturing brilliantly the overwhelming beauty of Tibet, Kazuyoshi Nomachi reveals in his photography a rare intimacy with the country that comes from many visits spent living among its people. Through Nomachi's eyes we witness the beauty of a land and its people whose gentle spirituality is threatened by the onslaught of a different set of values from the outside world. Complementing the photographs is authoritative and informative text edited by Robert Thurman.

An accessible introduction to this rich spiritual tradition through its own vibrant literature, much of it only recently available in the West. Here are teachings about the Buddha, subsequent Buddhas, and our Buddhist nature; prayer texts and meditation techniques; the stories of hermits and yogis; the lessons of ancient monks and modern nuns—all centered around profoundly practical instructions for training the mind on the path to enlightenment.

La sua Santità il Dalai Lama lo loda come una straordinaria fonte di ispirazione e supporto.
