how to be compassionate jeho svatost dalajlama

The Dalai Lama''s message in this book is as renowned as he is himself: that compassion is essential for individuals and for the world. This is very much his subject for, when we think of His Holiness, we immediately think of the compassion he embodies, and to which he has devoted his entire life.He suggests we pay close attention to the way we respond to everyone and to everything around us, and explains how caring for others can be a profound source of happiness on an individual level, which can then be extended outward in wider and wider circles. From here, he goes on to describe basic mistakes (such as hatred towards others) that lead us into personal turmoil and interpersonal disruption. Then he asks us to examine the nature of consciousness so we understand how the transformation of our attitude is possible. Finally, in typically practical fashion, he suggests how we can implement compassion in our daily lives, and go on to live with greater care and concern for all beings.

Audiokniha: Rozhovory a myšlenky dvou velkých mužů, držitelů Nobelovy ceny za mír, o tom, jak být šťastný v dnešním proměnlivém světě. „Pokud sám sebe vnímáte jako obyčejného člověka, jednoho ze sedmi miliard, není důvod mít pocit, že byste se měl chovat, jako byste byl někdo výjimečný. Ať už jsem s královnou nebo králem, prezidentem, premiérem či žebrákem, vždy mám na paměti, že jsme všichni stejní.“ Svět kolem nás se rychle proměňuje, jsme svědky tragédií celosvětového významu, katastrof, (nejen) osobních neštěstí, nemocí, smrti – lze vůbec v takovém světě, v takové době prožívat radostný život a nenechat strasti, aby nás pohltily? Ano, lze pracovat na tom, abychom i v tom špatném uměli najít něco, co nás posouvá dál. Lze cvičit náš přístup k sobě samým a k ostatním kolem nás. Kniha radosti zprostředkovává dlouholeté zkušenosti dvou neuvěřitelných mužů, kteří navzdory nepředstavitelně těžkým životním zkouškám zůstávají veselými, nezbednými, soucitnými, odpouštějícími a neztrácejí víru ve všechny lidské bytosti. Douglas Abrams mistrně propojil životní příběhy dvou blízkých přátel – Jeho Svatosti dalajlámy a arcibiskupa Desmonda Tutua, jejich odpovědi na otázky týkající se překážek na cestě k radosti, pokory, humoru, odpuštění, vděčnosti, soucitu, velkorysosti a mnoha dalšího s vědeckými poznatky, které se probíranou tematikou zabývají. ...

Kniha je Dalajlámovým komentářem o duchovní přípravě na smrt a je inspirována klasickým textem tibetského buddhismu - básní ze 17. století, jejímž autorem je první pančhenlama. Tuto značně ezoterní báseň Jeho Svatost 14. Dalajlama komentuje a rozvádí do konkrétních rad pro každodenní život. Vysvětluje, jak a proč meditovat o pomíjivosti, jak vytvořit vhodné prostředí pro umírající, jak praktikovat během umírání. Zvlášť podrobně vysvětluje jednotlivá stadia umírání i způsob, jak si vštěpovat jejich posloupnost, aby naše umírání probíhalo beze strachu a aby hlubší stavy mysli, k nimž během umírání dochází, mohly být využity pro duchovní praxi všech úrovní. Celý výklad prokládá příběhy o vysoce duchovně vyvinutých mniších a mniškách, s nimiž se sám setkal, a seznamuje čtenáře také s událostmi kolem volby posledního pančhenlamy tak, jak je sám prožíval.

Vnáší myšlenky buddhismu do kontextu naší duchovní tradice a způsobu myšlení a odhaluje jejich univerzální platnost nezávislou na čase a místě. Důležitým klíčem k duchovnímu prozření a osvobození je poznání sebe sama, jak již od antiky zdůrazňovali také evropští myslitelé. V této audioknize nejvyšší tibetský duchovní vůdce ukazuje, jak za pomoci soustředěné meditace, cvičení klidu a soucitného postoje k životu tohoto nelehkého úkolu postupně dosáhnout.

Cestu ke štěstí v zaměstnání musíme hledat stejně jako v osobním životě. To však nebývá vždy snadné. Máme zvládat pracovní zátěž, nároky šéfa a komunikaci s kolegy, se kterými si často moc nerozumíme. Představa štěstí pak snadno mizí. Pracovní tempo je leckdy tak hektické, že pomýšlet na nějaké povznesení mysli nebo vnitřní rozvoj se zdá být téměř nemožné. Většina firem se navíc ani nestará, jestli její zaměstnanci jsou šťastní. Jak tedy můžeme najít štěstí v práci? Tato kniha se zabývá specifickými znaky pracovního prostředí, zkoumá, jak vnést morálku a základní lidské hodnoty do světa podnikání a obchodu. Dalajlama nám trpělivě ukazuje, jakou cestou se dát, aby každý člověk v jakékoli práci mohl kultivovat své vlastnosti a dojít tak k osobnímu naplnění, sebepoznání a štěstí.

V září roku 1994 pořádalo Světové společenství pro křesťanskou meditaci desátý výroční Seminář Johna Maina, mezinárodní duchovní konferenci konanou na počest irského benediktinského mnicha Johna Maina, (1926-82) který vyučoval meditaci v tradici Jana Kassiána a pouštních otců a založil střediska křesťanské meditace po celém světě a jehož otec Bede Griffith nazval nejdůležitějším duchovním vůdcem dnešní církve. Každoročně se stovky křesťanských adeptů meditace doslova ze všech kontinentů a nejrůznějších koutů světa scházejí, aby si vyslechly sérii přednášek na téma etiky, duchovnosti, posvátných Písem, dialogu mezi náboženstvími a modlitby. Při této příležitosti společenství pozvalo tibetského dalajlamu, aby z buddhistického hlediska komentoval vybrané pasáže ze čtyř křesťanských evangelií. Pozvání pro dalajlamu, aby poprvé veřejně komentoval evangelia, vzešlo od Doma Laurence Freemana, absolventa Oxfordu v oboru literatura a mnicha olivetánského benediktinského převorství v londýnském Cockfosters. Laurence Freeman je nejaktivnějším a nejvlivnějším učitelem Společenství od Mainovy smrti v roce 1982.

In this unique book, His Holiness the Dalai Lama tells the full story of his 75-year struggle with China to save Tibet and its people. The Dalai Lama has had to contend with the People’s Republic of China his entire life. He was 15 years old when communist China invaded Tibet in 1950, only 19 when he had his first meeting with Chairman Mao in Beijing, and 24 when he was forced to escape to India and became a leader in exile.Almost 75 years after China’s initial invasion of Tibet, the Dalai Lama has faced communist China’s leaders – Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao and Xi Jinping – in his effort to protect Tibet and its people. In Voice for the Voiceless, the Dalai Lama reminds the world of Tibet’s unresolved struggle for freedom and the hardship his people continue to face in their homeland. The book captures his extraordinary life, uncovering what it means to lose your home to a repressive invader and build a life in exile; dealing with the existential crisis of a nation, its people, and its culture and religion; and envisioning the path forward.Voice for the Voiceless is a powerful testimony from ...

In 1999 His Holiness The Dalai Lama published the bestselling Ancient Wisdom: Modern World, which addressed the question of ethics for the new millennium. A decade later, His Holiness enters the contemporary debate about religion vs atheism, and returns to the theme of ethics with a major new work: Beyond Religion: ethics for a whole world.In this thought-provoking new book he argues that religion is not a necessity for pursuing a spiritual life. Rather, focusing on tolerance and understanding between religions, as well as tolerance and understanding between believers (of any faith) and non-believers is the way forward. The way to achieve such an approach, he proposes, is through a system of secular ethics grounded in a deep appreciation of our common humanity. Aimed particularly at the general reader, Beyond Religion: ethics for a whole world is a modern-day polemic which outlines those ethics he believes should be central to our lives.

“The material in this volume is invaluable for those who sincerely wish to understand the Buddhist path and begin to follow it.” —Venerable Sangye Khadro, author of How to MeditateIn this new book from the Dalai Lama, the reader will discover the mind’s infinitely vast potential, its buddha nature. Knowledge of buddha nature reveals and reconciles the paradox of how the mind can be the basis for both the duhkha of samsara (the unpurified mind) and the bliss and fulfillment of nirvana (the purified mind). To illustrate this, Samsara, Nirvana, and Buddha Nature first takes readers through Buddhist thought on the self, the four truths, and their sixteen attributes. It then explains afflictions—including how they arise and their antidotes—followed by an examination of karma and cyclic existence, and, finally, a deep and thorough elucidation of buddha nature. Samsara, Nirvana, and Buddha Nature shows us how to purify our minds and cultivate awakened qualities.

Exploring the esoteric subject of Dzogchen, His Holiness offers insights into one of Buddhism’s most profound systems of meditation. He discusses both the philosophic foundations and the practices of this system—taking into account the approaches of various schools and teachers.To these teachings, His Holiness brings all those qualities which are so uniquely his—the accumulated knowledge of years of study, his curiosity, humor, and compassion, and his seemingly infinite subtlety of mind. Paying tribute to the uniqueness of Dzogchen, His Holiness sets it within the wider spectrum of Tibetan Buddhism as a whole. He explains the essence of Dzogchen practice and addresses subjects such as why it is called “the pinnacle of all vehicles,” what its special features are, and the crucial principles of the other Buddhist paths that a Dzogchen practitioner should know.

The first volume in a multivolume collection presenting the Dalai Lama’s comprehensive explanation of the Buddhist path—now in paperback!His Holiness the Dalai Lama has been publicly teaching Buddhism for decades. This series collects his presentations of every step of the path to enlightenment, compiled and coauthored by one of his chief Western disciples, the American nun Thubten Chodron. The Buddha wanted his students to investigate, to see for themselves whether what he said was true. As a student of the Buddha, the Dalai Lama promotes the same spirit of investigation, and as the rich tradition of the Buddha makes its way into new lands and cultures, His Holiness has recognized that new approaches are needed to allow seekers in the West to experience the relevance of the liberating message in their own lives. Such an approach cannot assume listeners are free from doubt and already have faith in Buddhism’s basic tenets. The Library of Wisdom and Compassion series, therefore, starts from the universal human wish for happiness and presents the dynamic nature of the mind.

How to be Real tackles one of the most urgent questions: how can we thrive in a world that is so troubling and confusing? We are constantly being told that we must be ‘authentic’ and ‘real’ whilst our sense of reality is being undermined, fragmenting our experiences and dividing people from each other. In the face of such dilemmas Frosh argues that gaining a sense of reality requires us to face the complexity of modern life. We must learn to think more clearly and bravely about it, and to allow ourselves to develop a depth of feeling that may often be uncomfortable or even distressing to live with. By working alongside thinkers such as Freud, Winnicott and Klein, Frosh argues that we must look to what connects us and appreciate how authenticity depends on the quality of relationships we form with each other. Consequently, ‘how to be real’ has political as well as psychological and ethical implications. It is out of such disruptive complexity that human depth and relational integrity arise. Frosh pursues this through an exploration of childhood and the development of the self, of why and how we put up defences against reality, and of what hate means. ...

‘A tour de force.’ – The Secret Barrister ‘Urgent and engaging.’ – Nick Cohen, Observer columnist ‘A phenomenal history from a truly big mind.’ – David Schneider, writer ''Required reading for anyone interested in politics and philosophy.'' – Prospect magazine In a soaring narrative that stretches from the battlefields of the English Civil War to the 2008 Wall Street crash and Brexit, Ian Dunt tells the story of liberalism from its birth in the fight against absolute monarchy to the modern-day struggle against dog-whistle nationalism.

How to let love into our lives, and how to express that love to the world at large—the latest from a best-selling author.We were made to love and be loved. Loving ourselves and others is in our genetic code. It’s nothing other than the purpose of our lives—but knowing that doesn’t make it easy to do. We may find it a challenge to love ourselves. We may have a hard time letting love in from others. We’re often afraid of getting hurt. It is also sometimes scary for us to share love with those around us—and love that isn''t shared leaves us feeling flat and unfulfilled. David Richo provides the tools here for learning how to love in evolved adult ways—beginning with getting past the barriers that keep us from loving ourselves, then showing how we can learn to open to love others. The first challenge is that we have a hard time letting love in: recognizing it, accepting it from others. We''re afraid of it, of getting hurt. The second, related problem is that we''re unable to share love with those around us--and love that isn''t shared isn''t truly love. The first step to learning to love and be ...

Timeless wisdom about how to be healthy in body and mind from one of the greatest physicians of the ancient worldThe second-century Greek physician Galen—the most famous doctor in antiquity after Hippocrates—is a central figure in Western medicine. A talented doctor, surgeon, writer, philosopher, teacher, pharmacologist, and inventor, Galen attended the court of Marcus Aurelius, living through outbreaks of plague (likely smallpox) that devastated the Roman Empire. He also served as physician for professional gladiators, boasting that only two fighters died during his first year (his predecessor had lost sixteen). In writings that provided the foundation of Western medicine up to the nineteenth century, Galen created a unified account of health and disease. In How to Be Healthy, practicing physician and classical historian Katherine Van Schaik presents a collection of Galen’s enduring insights about how we can take care of our bodies and minds, prevent disease, and reach a healthy old age. Although we now know that many of Galen’s ideas about physiology are wrong, How to Be Healthy shows that much of his advice remains sound. In these selections from his writings, presented in fresh translations, Galen discusses the art of medicine, exercise and diet, the mind-body connection, the ... Unknown localization key: "more"
