Introduction to Tantra

From the outside, Buddhism seems like a bundle of contradictions wrapped inside a paradox. It is a religion without a god, a belief system without rules, and a faith that encourages its adherents to question everything, including its own teachings. You could spend a lifetime studying Buddhist texts and following its observances and still feel like you’ve only just barely scratched the surface. Yet, over the past 2500 years, this lovely religion that preaches compassion, generosity, tolerance, selflessness and self-awareness has commanded the fervent devotion of hundreds of millions of people around the world who believe it to be the true path to enlightenment. If you’re curious about Buddhism but feel intimidated by all the exotic jargon and strange trappings, this book is for you. Written by two leading American Buddhist teachers and scholars, it offers you a uniquely friendly way to explore the fascinating history of Buddhism and discover: Who Buddha was and his significance in world history and spirituality How the practice of Buddhism can enrich your everyday life How Buddha’s teachings combine to create a path to enlightenment Daily observances and meditation practices How to fulfill your highest potential through Buddhism In plain English, experts Jonathan Landaw and Stephan Bodian define the important terms, explain the key concepts and explore, in-depth a wide range of topics, including: Buddha’s life and teachings and the evolution of the major Buddhist traditions How Buddhism works as a religion, philosophy of life and a practical approach to dealing with life’s problems, all rolled into one The idea that the mind is the source of all happiness and suffering How the practices of wisdom and compassion can connect you with your inner spiritual resources Meditation and other core Buddhist practices and how they can affect your everyday life How to apply Buddhist teachings at each stage along the spiritual path Whether you’re a searcher of truth, a student of religions, or just curious about what’s got Richard Gere and all the rest of those celebrity Buddhists so excited, Buddhism For Dummies is your intro to Buddhism basics.

Wisdom Energy is a simple and compelling introduction to Buddhism by two Tibetan lamas renowned for their insight and skill in teaching Westerners. Containing an entire meditation course, it goes to the heart of basic Buddhist practice and discusses the meaning and purpose of meditation, the causes of dissatisfaction and unhappiness, and the methods for subduing them and gaining control over our minds and lives. Originally published in 1976, Wisdom Energy still preserves the power, humor, and directness of the lamas's first teaching tour of North America, giving the reader the feeling of an intimate audience with two highly respected teachers.

Der Dalai Lama ist Kult und in der Nähe von Bordeaux scharen sich die Anhänger um Tich Nhat Hanh. Was macht den Buddhismus für viele so faszinierend? Jonathan Landaw und Stephan Bodian führen leicht verständlich in diese fernöstliche Lehre ein. Sie berichten vom Leben des historischen Buddha und von den unterschiedlichen Traditionen, die sich über die Jahrhunderte entwickelt haben. Die Leser erfahren, was es mit dem Kleinen (Hinayana) und dem Großen Fahrzeug (Mahayana) auf sich hat, wie sich der Zen-Buddhismus von der tibetanischen Schule unterscheidet und wie sich diese Lehre friedlich über ganz Asien verbreitet hat. Doch wer ein achtsames Leben im Sinne des Buddha führen möchte, muss nicht in Indien, Tibet, Thailand oder Burma leben. Die Autoren zeigen, wie der Buddhismus unseren Alltag bereichern kann und dass es auch in westlichen Kulturen möglich ist, dem Pfad der Erleuchtung zu folgen.
