Book excerpt: “This important guidebook shows in detail and with great humor and insight the way to practice the Buddha’s universal teachings here in the West. Jack Kornfield is a wonderful storyteller and a great teacher.”—Thich Nhat Hanh “Jack is helping to pave the path for American Buddhism, bringing essential basics into our crazy modern lives. And the language he uses is as simple and as lovely as our breath.”—Natalie Goldberg Perhaps the most important book yet written on meditation, the process of inner transformation, and the integration of spiritual practice into our American way of life, A Path with Heart brings alive one by one the challenges of spiritual living in the modern world. Written by a teacher, psychologist, and meditation master of international renown, this warm, inspiring, and expert book touches on a wide range of essential issues including many rarely addressed in spiritual books. From compassion, addiction, and psychological and emotional healing, to dealing with problems involving relationships and sexuality, to the creation of a Zen-like simplicity and balance in all facets of life, it speaks to the concerns of many modern spiritual seekers, both those beginning on the path and those with years of experience. A Path with Heart is filled with practical techniques, guided meditations, stories, koans, and other gems of wisdom that can help ease your journey through the world. The author’s own profound—and sometimes humorous—experiences and gentle assistance will skillfully guide you through the obstacles and trials of spiritual and contemporary life to bring a clarity of perception and a sense of the sacred into your everyday experience. Reading this book will touch your heart and remind you of the promises inherent in meditation and in a life of the spirit: the blossoming of inner peace, wholeness, and understanding, and the achievement of a happiness that is not dependent on external conditions. Sure to be a classic, A Path with Heart shows us how we can bring our spirituality to flower every day of our lives. It is a wise and gentle guidebook for an odyssey into the soul that enables us to achieve a deeper, more satisfying life in the world.
Book Synopsis The Divine Brain by : Dr. Pedro Rodríguez Picazo
Download or read book The Divine Brain written by Dr. Pedro Rodríguez Picazo and published by Pedro Rodríguez. This book was released on 2024-09-16 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human abilities to voluntarily stimulate brain regions to connect with God. Witches, yogis, and shamans—what do they have in common? "Rodríguez masterfully weaves his book into an exciting and astonishing tapestry that will leave no one indifferent." Genetic adaptations that allow us to identify sacred sites and stimulate experiences through geometry, engineering, and architectural structures. A collective consciousness capable of uniting individual minds. There is God and there are gods, there are heavens and souls in different heavens. Some reincarnate and others do not. There is a heaven for animals. There are auspicious hours to connect with the divine and sounds that bring us closer to mystical experiences. What does science have to say about all this? Discover Neurotheology, a discipline that will change the world... The author serves all this up like the famous Mr. 007's Martini: "shaken, not stirred." The book’s trajectory mirrors the expanded lyrics of a Jorge Drexler song: from brain chemistry to yogis; from mathematical experiences to neuroplasticity; from mysticism to metacognition; from Buddhism to panpsychism; from hallucinogens to the silent witness; from practice (which makes the monk (who in turn made the practice)) to the so-called "God helmet" (VAT included); from transcranial magnetic stimulation to quantum physics; from nature's software to neuroethics; from eschatology to epigenetics; from karma to transhumanism; from techno music to the Sufi turn; from gratitude to the heaven of animals.

Download or read book Samsara - The Wheel of Birth, Death and Rebirth written by Rebecca Harrison and published by Rebecca Harrison. This book was released on 2019-10-30 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Along comes a global pandemic coronavirus, COVID-19, and our world is turned upside down. Can the idea of samsara shed any light on all this terrible suffering, turmoil and change? Are we all travelling around the ever-turning cycle of samsara, being born, dying, then reborn - again, and again, and again? Does our life, the things that happen to us, and our death, have any meaning? What do Hinduism, Buddhism, and samsara tell us about suffering, life and death? Could spiritual dimensions exist or do we live in a purely material universe? What is consciousness and does it die when our bodies die? Are rebirth or reincarnation even possible? Can we have spirituality without religion? What, if anything, might spirituality or religion mean in a turbulent and unpredictable twenty-first century? Do mysticism, psychedelics, science and quantum physics offer clues to any of these questions? Take a journey with the author through the fascinating cultures of Nepal, India, Bali and Cambodia and explore their rich traditions of Hinduism, Buddhism and samsara. Part exploration of spirituality and religion, part travel adventure to places of astonishing diversity, this book will get you thinking about your own beliefs, life and death, and where those might fit in to a bigger picture.

Book Synopsis Recentering Globalization by : Koichi Iwabuchi
Download or read book Recentering Globalization written by Koichi Iwabuchi and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2002-11-08 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalization is usually thought of as the worldwide spread of Western—particularly American—popular culture. Yet if one nation stands out in the dissemination of pop culture in East and Southeast Asia, it is Japan. Pokémon, anime, pop music, television dramas such as Tokyo Love Story and Long Vacation—the export of Japanese media and culture is big business. In Recentering Globalization, Koichi Iwabuchi explores how Japanese popular culture circulates in Asia. He situates the rise of Japan’s cultural power in light of decentering globalization processes and demonstrates how Japan’s extensive cultural interactions with the other parts of Asia complicate its sense of being "in but above" or "similar but superior to" the region. Iwabuchi has conducted extensive interviews with producers, promoters, and consumers of popular culture in Japan and East Asia. Drawing upon this research, he analyzes Japan’s "localizing" strategy of repackaging Western pop culture for Asian consumption and the ways Japanese popular culture arouses regional cultural resonances. He considers how transnational cultural flows are experienced differently in various geographic areas by looking at bilateral cultural flows in East Asia. He shows how Japanese popular music and television dramas are promoted and understood in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore, and how "Asian" popular culture (especially Hong Kong’s) is received in Japan. Rich in empirical detail and theoretical insight, Recentering Globalization is a significant contribution to thinking about cultural globalization and transnationalism, particularly in the context of East Asian cultural studies.
Book Synopsis An Asian Woman's Religious Journey with Thomas Merton by : Jung Eun Sophia Park
Download or read book An Asian Woman's Religious Journey with Thomas Merton written by Jung Eun Sophia Park and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Join Jung Eun Sophia Park on her personal quest for God and her true self through the writings of Thomas Merton. Approaching Merton as an Asian immigrant feminist in the postcolonial era, Park's perspective is a unique one, and in this dance sometimes it is her and sometimes Merton who leads. Throughout, Eastern and Western spirituality are organically woven together in reflection on Merton's narratives and in the examination of late capitalism, poverty, beauty, and violence. These reflections are insightful, provocative, and illuminating, particularly with regard to his androcentric spirituality, especially as it relates to his relationships with women.
Book Synopsis Ultimate Journey by : Richard Bernstein
Download or read book Ultimate Journey written by Richard Bernstein and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2001 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Bernstein's story of his long journey through Asia is at once a memoir of adventurous travel and a record of cultural discovery and spiritual quest. In the year 629, a greatly revered Chinese Buddhist monk, Hsuan Tsang, set out across Asia in search of the Buddhist Truth, to settle what he called the "perplexities of my mind." Nearly a millennium and a half later, Richard Bernstein retraces the monk's steps: from the Tang dynasty capital at Xian through ancient Silk Road oases, over forbidding mountain passes to Tashkent, Samarkand, and the Amu-Darya River, across Pakistan to the holiest cities of India--and back. Juxtaposing his experiences with those of Hsuan Tsang, Bernstein reconstructs the hazards and glories of this long and sinuous route, comparing present and past. The monk described what he saw and experienced: landscapes, customs, and, above all, people and the variety of religious beliefs held by those he met. So does our present-day author--taking us to Buddhist cave temples, to the holy places of the Buddha's own life, to the ruins of the Gandharan civilization in Pakistan, to the university in the Ganges Valley where Hsuan Tsang studied. He too encounters extraordinary figures-- among them a German monk in Bodhgaya, a down-and-out maharaja, and a supposed reincarnation of Shiva. And he follows the path of Hsuan Tsang not only in physical but in contemplative ways, reflecting on the mysteries and paradoxes of Buddhist philosophy and on the nature of the Ultimate Truth that was Hsuan Tsang's goal. Ultimate Journey is a vivid, profoundly felt account of two stirring adventures--one in the past and one in the present--in pursuit of illumination.
Book Synopsis Asian Indigenous Psychologies in the Global Context by : Kuang-Hui Yeh
Download or read book Asian Indigenous Psychologies in the Global Context written by Kuang-Hui Yeh and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-09-26 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume introduces Asian indigenous psychologies with an emphasis on major theoretical and practical issues. The contributions demonstrate the potential for the indigenous psychologies of Asia to offer an alternative model of the internationalization of psychology—an internationalization not dominated by Western psychology. As a whole, this volume explores knowledge production outside of Western psychology; asks important questions about the discipline, profession, and practice of Asian indigenous psychology; makes critical appraises of cultural and psychological assumptions; sheds light on the dialectics of the universal and the particular in indigenous psychology; and explores the possibilities for a more equitable global psychology.
