Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although a great many books on Buddhism have been published in recent years, very few focus on the essential teachings and core beliefs of Western Buddhism today, even as it is taking shape in its new context before our eyes. This guidebook provides concise explanations of such basic concepts as the Five Precepts, the Four Noble Truths, the Five Aggregates, the Hindrances, and Dependent Origination along with notes and suggestions for their application. Buddhism is a vast and complex religious tradition that has evolved over the past 2500 years from a dozen or so core (radical) teachings of a man living in northern India called the Buddha. This book explores the common threads and contours that inform today's Buddhism; it is a guidebook for a better life and better world.

Book excerpt: Explore the common ground underlying the diverse expressions of the Buddha's teachings with two of Tibetan Buddhism's bestselling authors. Buddhism is practiced by hundreds of millions of people worldwide, from Tibetan caves to Tokyo temples to redwood retreats. To an outside viewer, it might be hard to see what they all have in common. In Buddhism, His Holiness the Dalai Lama and American Buddhist nun Thubten Chodron map out with clarity the convergences and the divergences between the two major strains of Buddhism--the Sanskrit traditions of Tibet and East Asia and the Pali traditions of Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia. Especially deep consideration is given to the foundational Indian traditions and their respective treatment of such central tenets as the four noble truths the practice of meditation the meaning of nirvana enlightenment. The authors seek harmony and greater understanding among Buddhist traditions worldwide, illuminating the rich benefits of respectful dialogue and the many ways that Buddhists of all stripes share a common heritage and common goals.

Book excerpt: If you want to learn how Buddhism can SKYROCKET your peace and happiness in daily life then keep reading... Do you want to learn the fundamentals of Buddhism? Do you want to learn it in a PRACTICAL manner that actually improves your day to day life? Do you want to learn it in an easy to understand manner? Buddhism now is more popular than it has been in decades, the Buddha's incredible teachings are starting to get the recognition they deserve. What has happened recently is a wave of books that only go over the theory of Buddhism and don't cover the most important aspect- how Buddhism can transform your daily life and revolutionize you as a person. As a practicing Buddhist, I came to the realization that while memorizing the 4 Noble Truths is great, what's more important is living the teachings, and allowing them to permeate into your life. Not only that, but for us Westerners we need a slightly different approach then the Monks, we have busy and demanding lives and Buddhism can still help us live in harmony! We've all seen the studies on Mindfulness, such as the 2011 study in the Psychiatry research showed how Mindfulness Meditation can literally change our brain chemistry or how a 2009 Harvard study proved Mindfulness can help fight disease through the 'relaxation effect.' But, this won't have any impact on you until you start PRACTICING Mindfulness and Meditation, memorizing the 5 hindrances doesn't have quite the same effect unfortunately. Anyways, here is just a slither of what you will discover inside... - The 1 Practice the Buddha recommended that will make you the Happiest version of yourself! - How to use the 4 Noble truths to ELIMINATE suffering in your life - What 'Awakening' is and how to actually awaken yourself! - The 5 Secrets Buddhist Monks use to become effortlessly happy every single day - Why this 1 daily practice will help you find serenity in the most crazy times of your life - A simple, yet incredibly effective, meditation technique to help you relieve stress and feel more at peace even if you've NEVER meditated before - 7 Practical tips to help you free yourself from the tyranny of your own mind - The truth about Karma and how it can genuinely help you transform your life (Most westerners don't know this) - How to practice Buddhism on your own terms, in your own way (Remember it's a personal practice!) - Why more average westerners are becoming Buddhist than ever before AND increasing their happiness levels at the same time - What Buddhists know about true peace that you don't - How to live your life in the present moment with the help of these 5 Practices - Tips and Strategies for making all of the teachings part of your 'Everyday Buddhism' practice - The Startling truth about why the most important part of Buddhism is the PRACTICAL applications of the teachings - And that is barely even scratching the surface! Even if you have no idea what Karma really is or don't even have a clue what this whole Mindfulness craze is all about, this book outlines an easy to digest way how the incredible teachings of the Buddha can transform your life! So, if you want the Essential Buddhist teachings delivered in the most practical manner to help you live a life full of joy and happiness then scroll up and click "Add to Cart."

Download or read book The Promise of Amida Buddha written by and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-05-01 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Promise of Amida Buddha is the first complete English translation of a seminal collection of writings by the Japanese Pure Land school's founder, Honen-shonin (1133-1212). The so-called Japanese Anthology (Wago Toroku) collects his surviving short writings composed in Japanese, including letters of exhortation and public pronouncements. The vital writings provide a window into Honen's life and the turbulent era in which he lived and taught. Honen-shonin, who lived in Japan in the twelfth century, saw that the complexity of traditional Buddhist practices made them inaccessible to people outside the monastic elite. Drawing on the Chinese Pure Land tradition, he re-imagined Pure Land practice for Japan and ushered in a new and dynamic practice that continues in the present day. In our degenerate age, says Honen, we cannot hope to reach enlightenment via the practices employed by the Buddhist masters of old. For us there is only one avenue to liberation--rebirth in the Pure Land of Amida, from whence our progress is irreversible and our ultimate release assured. The Pure Land is a heavenly destination made manifest through the pure vow of Amida to save all beings, and we secure passage to this land in our next life through pure faith in Amida at the very moment of death. The practice of faith in Amida is performed through nembutsu, the continual recitation of the mantra Namu Amida Butsu, which bonds us to Amida and brings us into his care.

It's just inevitable. To not expect obstacles or suffering is as naive as not preparing for them. But what preparation can we do to deal with suffering?

Due to it's emphasis on practical techniques for self growth such as meditation, community etc., some people believe that Buddhism is more of a psychology than a religion. Nevertheless, it has helped millions of people with their personal problems like stress, anxiety, depression etc. "If there is any religion that would cope with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism." - Albert Einstein In this book, Buddhist monk and Mindfulness teacher, Dharma Hazari gives you the essence of Buddhism and how you can gain practical value from it in your day-to-day life.

Book excerpt: A temple stay is a short sojourn at a temple where one goes to follow monastic rules of life. For this reason, many seek out temples for the explicit purpose of having a rest. It is for this reason that a temple stay can be compared to a nap: a short break from one’s daily routine provides the energy necessary to carry on with one’s busy existence. The various programs offered around the country all possess, to some degree, the essence of Korean Buddhism. This book uses simple terms to explain the meaning of some of the rituals that one may encounter at a temple stay and gives insight into the history, philosophy and practices of Korean Buddhism. Are you ready to transcend the boundaries of religion and depart for a temple stay, the storehouse of Korean Buddhist culture? Open your mind to the information contained in this book.
