Book Synopsis The Wisdom of the Buddha by : Dale Lugenbehl
Download or read book The Wisdom of the Buddha written by Dale Lugenbehl and published by . This book was released on 2019-05-10 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Wisdom of the Buddha combines an in-depth introduction to Buddhism with the practicality of a spiritual self- help book. The first five chapters provide clear and insightful explanations of the foundation teachings of the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, mindfulness meditation, and the nature of suffering and happiness.The next ten chapters bring Buddhist teachings to bear on transforming our lives: how to break the grip of habits, end arguments and power struggles, deal with difficult emotions and strong desires, see the essential nature of all addictions, deal with anxiety and depression, become more accepting, and cultivate compassion and reverence for all life. The final two chapters provide much needed insight into the Buddha's most difficult and freeing teachings of all: the true nature of the self (the "no self" teachings), relative and absolute truth, nirvana, impermanence, and our mistaken understandings of death.Simple and accessible language, practical techniques, numerous guided meditations, personal stories, and numerous quotations from master teachers are used to present an inspiring path toward deep personal transformation.

Download or read book The Perfection of Wisdom written by and published by New York : Viking Studio. This book was released on 2000 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "At the heart of Buddhism lies the doctrine of the perfection of wisdom. The foremost principles of this teaching are the bodhisattva ideal of the religious life and the essential emptiness of all existence. The sutras known as The Perfection of Wisdom in 8,000 Lines are the oldest version of this important Buddhist text, dating some two thousand years, and are the basis for the present translation." "The message of The Perfection of Wisdom is as applicable to the modern reader as it was to the monks who first studied the text two millennia ago: through an understanding of the perfection of wisdom, it is possible for all of us to detach from the suffering that binds us to the material world, and so move toward enlightenment. This important text is illustrated with extraordinary images taken from the earliest surviving Indian and Nepalese illustrated manuscripts of The Perfection of Wisdom - most of which have never been reproduced before."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book Synopsis Buddhist Animal Wisdom Stories by : Mark W. McGinnis
Download or read book Buddhist Animal Wisdom Stories written by Mark W. McGinnis and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2004-11-09 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Around the beginning of the common era, Indian Buddhists began to collect fables, or jataka tales, illuminating various human virtues and foibles—from kindness, cooperation, loyalty and self-discipline on the one hand to greed, pride, foolishness, and treachery on the other. Instead of populating these stories with people, they cast the animals of their immediate environment in the leading roles—which may have given the tales a universal appeal that helped them travel around the world, surfacing in the Middle East as Aesop's fables and in various other guises throughout East and Southeast Asia, Africa, Russia, and Europe. Author and painter Mark McGinnis has collected over forty of these hallowed popular tales and retold them in vividly poetic yet accessible language, their original Buddhist messages firmly intact. Each story is accompanied with a beautifully rendered full-color painting, making this an equally attractive book for children and adults, whether Buddhist or not, who love fine stories about their fellow wise (and foolish) creatures.

Book Synopsis The Five Wisdom Energies by : Irini Rockwell
Download or read book The Five Wisdom Energies written by Irini Rockwell and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2002-03-12 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This playful and accessible guide presents a Buddhist psychological system for enhancing self-awareness, interpersonal communication, and creativity This book invites us to celebrate our strengths and work with our weaknesses by learning to identify and utilize five basic personal styles or energies based on a Tibetan Buddhist practice. Each of the five wisdom energies is associated with particular ways of perceiving and interacting with the world and also with particular colors, elements, senses, seasons, and times of day. With easy, fun, and engaging exercises and stories, Irini Rockwell shows us how to identify which energies are active in our lives, and how we can work with them in any situation to improve self-awareness, communication, and creative expression. According to the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, each of us has one or two dominant energies, but these can shift and change over time, and we can manifest different energies in different areas of our lives. Each of the five energies has its unique wisdom, but also its neurotic tendencies. By learning to recognize which energies we possess—and which are present in those around us—we can learn to relax and appreciate our natural traits and those of others, and we can move away from our neuroses toward the wisdom-aspects of our character.

Book Synopsis The Wisdom of Imperfection by : Rob Preece
Download or read book The Wisdom of Imperfection written by Rob Preece and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2010-09-16 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you have been practicing Buddhism for a while, why do you still have so many problems? And how do you balance the sometimes different needs of spiritual and psychological perspectives? Rob Preece draws on his personal experience—over two decades as a psychotherapist and many years as a meditation teacher—to explore and map the psychological influences on our struggle to awaken. For psychological and spiritual health, acceptance of imperfection is key. Wisdom does not always come as a flash of inspiration but from the slow, often painful workings of experience. As we detach from our ideals of perfection and develop our acceptance of imperfection, our love and compassion can grow in ways that are both psychologically and spiritually healthy. The Wisdom of Imperfection delves into this journey of individuation in Buddhist life, articulating the psychological processes beneath the traditional path of the Bodhisattva.

Book Synopsis Wisdom As a Way of Life by : Steven Collins
Download or read book Wisdom As a Way of Life written by Steven Collins and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this wide-ranging and field-changing work Steven Collins argues that the study of Theravada Buddhism needs to separated from the rather dated and stagnant field of textual history and approached both "civilizationally" and as a "practice of the self." By civilizationally, he means that instead of seeing Buddhism as a set of "original" teachings of the so-called historical Buddha from the 5th century BC to the present, it should rather be viewed as an effort by many teachers and visionaries over time to make sense of what it means to lead a worthy life. The purveyors of Buddhist philosophy did not consider themselves to be preservers of an archaic body of rules and ethical guidelines; they were designing a dynamic way of living and confronting human problems in a timeless way. Using approaches to the very idea of the self promoted by Foucault and Hadot, he compares Theravada Buddhist ways of understanding and "practicing" the self to modernist and postmodernist ideas about "philosophy as a way of life." Rather than applying positivist and historicist approaches, Buddhism should be assessed philosophically, literarily, and ethically, using its own vocabulary and rhetorical tools. Treated in this manner, Buddhist notions of the self can be applied to contemporary ideas of self-care and the promotion of human flourishing. The book covers topics such as spiritual practice, ultimate versus provisional truth, systematic versus narrative thinking, meditation versus virtue, and history versus philosophy. It is a bold and complex way of understanding the impact that Buddhist ways of knowing can have in the world today, bringing them into conversation with modern psychology, literary studies, ethics, gender and sexuality studies, and philosophy"--
