Chan Buddhism in Ritual Context
ISBN: 9780415600187 / Angielski / Miękka / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The essays in this volume attempt to place the Chan and Zen tradition in their ritual and cultural contexts, looking at various aspects heretofore largely (and unduly) ignored. In particular, they show the extent to which these traditions, despite their claim to uniqueness, were indebted to larger trends in East Asian Buddhism, such as the cults of icons, relics and the monastic robe.
The book emphasises the importance of ritual for a proper understanding of this allegedly anti-ritualistic form of Buddhism. In doing so, it deconstructs the Chan/Zen 'rhetoric of immediacy' and its...

Readers who merely read through the book's fascinating anecdotes will be entertained, but they will be seriously shortchanging themselves, for it is the guiding questions that provoke and inspire serious self-examination. As the calendar-like format of the book implies, these questions should be savored and pondered no faster than one page of questions per day. Levy and Parco...

Nine Insights
ISBN: 9781463538088 / Angielski / Miękka / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The greatest achievements in human history have been attained by those individuals who strive to elevate themselves above the everyday ebb and flow of life. This yearning to achieve is central to our search for happiness. We want to laugh, to sing, and to feel good at the end of the day as much as we might wish to do anything else. Happiness is an art. If you wish to practice this art, you must first decide that it is something that you want, above everything else. People that choose to be happy will at some point wake up to a day filled with smiles, joy, and laughter. If they are lucky, they...

Nirvana: The Last Nightmare: Learning to Trust in Life
ISBN: 9780983640011 / Angielski / Miękka / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Nirvana has become an idealized word associated with the juxtaposition of a cult rock celebrity who died before his time and a vague new age version of Eastern religion. An altered state to be hoped for, but likely unattainable, reinforcing that all too familiar uneasiness associated with never being able to have what we truly desire in life. Osho masterfully brings this internal state of tension to the surface and through the use of five beautiful Zen stories examines, unravels and reveals the meaning of nirvana. By absorbing without interpreting, making a decision without worrying if it is...

Dark Buddhism: Integrating Zen Buddhism and Objectivism
ISBN: 9781463625795 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Due to the recent recession, interest in Ayn Rand's Objectivism is greater than ever, and in the past two decades, interest in Eastern philosophies has reignited in the West. There are also many books on the market that cover Objectivism, such as The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem, My Years with Ayn Rand and The Art of Living Consciously, all by Nathaniel Branden. However, although Branden took Objectivist practices and gave them some flexibility, he stopped long before reaching the concepts of "enlightenment" or, at least, the personal serenity found in the Eastern philosophies. Similarly,...

The Immediacy of Infinite Being: Seeing beyond the veil of mind
ISBN: 9781477564752 / Angielski / Miękka / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Immediacy of Infinite Being revolves around the revelation that we are already at that place we have been seeking, and that no further search is necessary. Hopefully, this discourse will give readers an understanding of our mistaking the mind for who we essentially are. By becoming aware of the mind's activity, we can transcend the mind and abide as That which is the real. The Immediacy of Infinite Being is not a journey that involves finding anything new, but a journey that brings you back home.
