Thubten Chodron Bücher

Warum geschehen die Dinge in unserem Leben so und nicht anders? Wie können wir die Ursachen für Glück erzeugen? In der buddhistischen Praxis der Geistesschulung finden wir die Antwort auf diese Fragen: Unter anderem gehört dazu, dass wir unsere Ichbezogenheit überwinden und an ihrer Stelle anderen gegenüber eine Haltung der liebevollen Wertschätzung entwickeln. Dies wiederum führt uns zu einer Art des Handelns, durch die wir auf ganz natürliche Weise vom Leiden weg und hin zum Glück gelangen - kurzum gutes Karma erzeugen. In ihrem Kommentar zu einem der großen buddhistischen Gedichte, Das Rad der scharfen Waffen, zeigt Thubten Chodron klar und praxisnah, wie man die Ursachen für Unruhe, Angst und Niedergeschlagenheit beseitigen und für sich selbst und alle anderen die Ursachen für freudige Befreiung erzeugen kann.

A new edition of a Buddhist classic, an accessible introduction to the stages of the path (lamrim)--including 14 hours of downloadable audio meditations. The Stages of the Path, or lamrim, presentation of Buddhist teachings (a step-by-step method to tame the mind) is a core topic of Buddhist study. The lamrim meditations remind us that the process of transforming the mind, unlike so much of our frantic modern society, is a slow and thoughtful one. Best-selling author and Buddhist teacher Thubten Chodron here provides clear explanations of the stages of the path, as well as an accompanying downloadable audio program containing over fourteen hours of guided meditations on each of the topics covered in the text. Chodron discusses how to establish a daily practice and presents the meditations in detail, followed by advice for newcomers, instructions for working with distractions, antidotes to mental afflictions, and suggestions on how to deepen Dharma practice. Each practitioner will find meaning and insight according to their own skill level.
