Jeho svatost Dalajláma - Jeho Svatost Dalajláma

O povaze Buddhy Dalajlámovy odpovědi na velkou lidskou otázku individuálního přežití smrti! V této průlomové knize dalajláma poprvé shrnuje své názory na otázku sebe sama v buddhismu. Ve svém působivém duchu a s působivou jasností mysli objasňuje, jakým způsobem buddhismus rozlišuje mezi osobou a nesmrtelnou individualitou. Zároveň fascinujícími slovy prezentuje svou představu o NIRVÁNĚ. Vzniká inspirativní syntéza individuality a univerzality, které v této hustotě a intenzitě dokáže v současnosti dosáhnout pouze XIV. DalajlÁma.

Kniha radosti - Jeho Svatost Dalajláma, Douglas Abrams, Desmond Mpilo Tutu - audiokniha

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. Audiokniha provází čtenáře cestou od zaměření na já, mně, moje k zaměření na my, nám, naše. Ukazuje nám, jak se poučit z utrpení (ať už vlastního nebo utrpení kolem nás), popřípadě jak si uvědomit, že jsme součástí velkého společenství a že v ničem, co prožíváme, nikdy nejsme a nebudeme sami. Nikdo z nás nedokáže uniknout utrpení. To však neznamená, že nemůžeme prožívat radost. Netrapme se kvůli věcem, které nedokážeme změnit. „Pokud s tím lze něco udělat, jaký je důvod ke sklíčenosti? Pokud se nic dělat nedá, k čemu je být sklíčený?“ O autorech Jeho Svatost dalajláma XIV. Tändzin Gjamccho je duchovním vůdcem tibetského lidu a tibetského buddhismu.

Rady jak umírat, a žít lepší život - Jeho Svatost Dalajláma, Jeffrey Hopkins

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.

Jak vidět sebe samé tak, jací doopravdy jsme - Jeho Svatost Dalajláma, Jeffrey Hopkins - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Dalajlama patří k největším duchovním autoritám současnosti. Již mnoho let nuceně pobývá v exilu, a snad právě proto může dobře zprostředkovat učení tibetského buddhismu lidem na Západě. 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.

Cesta ke štěstí v práci - Jeho Svatost Dalajláma, Cutler Howard C.

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.

Etika pro dnešní svět - Jeho Svatost Dalajláma

Jeden z nejvýznamnějších myslitelů současnosti, tibetský duchovní vůdce dalajlama, předkládá v této knize výsledek svých celoživotních úvah o člověku, jeho životní cestě a hodnotách, které mu mohou pomáhat. Ačkoli čerpá ze zdrojů vlastní náboženské tradice, jeho pojetí etiky překračuje hranice náboženství a je univerzálně srozumitelné a přijatelné. Základními kameny jeho etického systému je soucítění, které je vlastní všem lidským bytostem, ale také kritické myšlení a spravedlnost.

Dobré srdce - Jeho Svatost Dalajláma

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. Dalajlama ve svých výkladech o Kázání na hoře, Blahoslavenství, podobenství o hořčičném semínku, Vzkříšení a dalších úryvků dodává těmto důvěrně známým zdrojům křesťanské víry nový rozměr a nachází mnoho podobností mezi křesťanskou a buddhistickou naukou, ale i mezi životními příběhy Ježíše a Buddhy. Knihu je doplněna několika dodatky, které vyčerpávajícím způsobem osvětlují celou problematiku mezináboženského dialogu.

Voice for the Voiceless - Jeho Svatost Dalajláma

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 a global icon, sharing both his pain and his enduring hope in his people’s ongoing quest to restore dignity and freedom.

Advice On Dying - Jeho Svatost Dalajláma

In this ground-breaking book, the Dalai Lama advises us to gain familiarity with the process and practices of death so that, when we are physically weak, our minds can still be focussed in the right direction, and in the right manner. Advice on Dying cautions us not to fall under the influence of the mistaken belief of permanence. We should not think that we have a lot of time in this life, because there is a great danger of wasting our lives in procrastination. He suggests we meditate on our lives, and on the indefiniteness of the time of death. For, though the time of our death is uncertain, death itself is certain... In this empowering and positive book, His Holiness brings new inspiration to a subject that we, in the West, have long ignored to our detriment. It is only by taming our minds and fully facing the end of our lives, that we can fully live in the present moment.

Beyond Religion - Jeho Svatost Dalajláma

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 Wisdom of Compassion - Jeho Svatost Dalajláma, Victor Chan

The Wisdom of Compassion offers rare insights into the Dalai Lama’s life as he interacts with remarkable people from all walks of life. In these deeply engaging behind-the-scenes stories we see not only the Dalai Lama at his most human, and most humane, but also the way he approaches the world with humour and optimism. As he empathizes with those who are suffering, and demonstrates the tangible benefits of practising forgiveness and compassion, the Dalai Lama reveals the many lessons he has learned, including how* his collaborations with leading neuroscientists, psychologists, teachers and students from around the world have taught him how to educate the heart; * his inspiring friendship with a blind Irishman, the only person he calls his hero, has taught him how one can overcome adversity; * through his encounters with illiterate grandmothers learning how to harness solar power for their communities, a beggar girl, and his soulmate, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, he has discovered how compassion can be translated into action. Enhanced by the Dalai Lama’s seven decades of practice and illuminated through captivating anecdotes, The Wisdom of Compassion can help readers to lead more fulfilling lives. The Dalai Lama also shows how, when we open our hearts and minds to others, we are on the surest path to true happiness.

Samsara, Nirvana, and Buddha Nature - Jeho Svatost Dalajláma, Thubten Chodron

“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. This is the third volume in the Dalai Lama’s definitive and comprehensive series on the stages of the Buddhist path, The Library of Wisdom and Compassion. Volume 1, Approaching the Buddhist Path, contains introductory material that sets the context for Buddhist practice. Volume 2, The Foundation of Buddhist Practice, describes the important teachings that help us establish a flourishing Dharma practice. Samsara, Nirvana, and Buddha Nature can be read as the logical next step in this series or enjoyed on its own.

How to See Yourself As You Really Are - Jeho Svatost Dalajláma

Full of insights and very practical, this important book by the Dalai Lama shows that self-knowledge is the key to personal development and creating positive relationships How to See Yourself As You Really Are is based on a fundamental Buddhist belief that love and insight work together to bring about enlightenment, like two wings of a bird. It provides a new perspective on the psychological problems of hurting ourselves through misguided, exaggerated notions of self, others, events and physical things. It shows how even our senses deceive us, drawing us into unwise attachments and negative actions that can only come back to haunt us in the future. Drawing on wisdom and techniques refined in Tibetan monasteries for more than a thousand years, and adopting as its structure traditional Buddhist steps of meditative reflection, How to See Yourself As You Really Are includes practical exercises and gives readers a clear path to assess their growth and personal development. The book is enlivened throughout with warm personal anecdotes and intimate accounts of the Dalai Lama's experiences as a life-long student, a meditator, a political leader and an international figure working with other Nobel Peace Laureates to address crises around the world. His Holiness the Dalai Lama is the spiritual leader of Tibet. Today, he lives in exile in Northern India and works tirelessly on behalf of the Tibetan people, as well as travelling the world to give spiritual teachings to sell-out audiences. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989.

Like all his books, this one is accessible to everyone regardless of race or class.”—Los Angeles Times (Book Club Pick)ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: PopSugarThe tragedies and reckonings around racism that are rocking the country have created a specific crisis for parents, educators, and other caregivers: How do we talk to our children about racism? How do we teach children to be antiracist? How are kids at different ages experiencing race? How are racist structures impacting children? How can we inspire our children to avoid our mistakes, to be better, to make the world better? These are the questions Ibram X. Kendi found himself avoiding as he anticipated the birth of his first child. Like most parents or parents-to-be, he felt the reflex to not talk to his child about racism, which he feared would stain her innocence and steal away her joy. But research and experience changed his mind, and he realized that raising his child to be antiracist would actually protect his child, and preserve her innocence and joy. He realized that teaching students about the reality of racism and the myth of race provides a protective education in our diverse and unequal world. He realized that building antiracist societies safeguards all children from the harms of racism. Following the accessible genre of his internationally bestselling How to Be an Antiracist, Kendi combines a century of scientific research with a vulnerable and compelling personal narrative of his own journey as a parent and as a child in school. The chapters follow the stages of child development from pregnancy to toddler to schoolkid to teenager. It is never too early or late to start raising young people to be antiracist.
