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.

Face to Face with God – A Biblical Theology of Christ as Priest and Mediator - Benjamin L. Gladd, T. Desmond Alexander

How can sinful humans approach a holy God? In the book of Hebrews, Jesus Christ is celebrated as the great high priest who represents his people before the Father. Jesus'' roles as priest and mediator are central to his identity and bring to completion themes woven throughout Scripture.In this fifth ESBT volume, T. Desmond Alexander considers the often-neglected themes of priesthood and mediation and how Christ fulfills these roles. He explores how these concepts illuminate what Christ has already accomplished for us through his self-sacrifice, as well as what he is presently achieving on our behalf, seated at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. Through this study we gain a richer understanding of concepts such as holiness, sacrifice, covenant, reconciliation, and God''s dwelling place.Essential Studies in Biblical Theology (ESBT), edited by Benjamin L. Gladd, explore the central or essential themes of the Bible''s grand storyline. Taking cues from Genesis 1–3, authors trace the presence of these themes throughout the entire sweep of redemptive history. Written for students, church leaders, and laypeople, the ESBT offers an introduction to biblical theology.

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. ...

The Book of Forgiving - Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Rev Mpho Tutu

The Book of Forgiving, written together by the Nobel Peace Laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and his daughter Revd Mpho Tutu, offers a deeply personal testament and guide to the process of forgiveness.All of us have at times needed both to forgive and be forgiven – whether small, everyday harms or real traumas. But the path to forgiveness is not easy, and the process unclear. How do we let go of resentment when we have been harmed, at times irreparably? How do we forgive and still pursue justice? How do we heal our hearts, and move on? How do we forgive ourselves for the harm we have caused others?Drawing on his memories of reconciliation in post-apartheid South Africa, Archbishop Desmond Tutu has identified four concrete steps to forgiveness through which we must all pass if we are to reach our destination:1) Admitting the wrong and acknowledging the harm2) Telling one’s story and witnessing the anguish3) Asking for forgiveness and granting forgiveness4) Renewing or releasing the relationshipEach chapter contains reflections and personal stories, as well as exercises for practising each step of the path.

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.

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 ...

Approaching the Buddhist Path - Jeho Svatost Dalajláma, Thubten Chodron

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.

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.

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.

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.

How To Be Compassionate - Jeho Svatost Dalajláma

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.

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.

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.

The Sowers of Joy - Ricard Matthieu, Caroline Riegel

As she travels alone across Asia, the path of a young French woman of 30 years old crosses by chance with that of a singular religious community, tiny and composed exclusively of women. These women live in Puntsokling: one of the ten Buddhist nunneries totally deprived of resources in Zanskar, a valley on the edge of the Himalayas, in the northwest of India, st ill isolated from the rest of the country by its inhosp itable geography. This encounter at the end of the world will change the course of her life and, without a doubt, that of the nuns. A revelation and a long journey, both huMayn and sp iritual.

The Art of Joy - Goliarda Sapienza

Goliarda Sapienza''s The Art of Joy was written over a nine year span, from 1967 to 1976. At the time of her death in 1996, Sapienza had published nothing in a decade, having been unable to find a publisher for what was to become her most celebrated work, due to its perceived immorality. One publisher''s rejection letter exclaimed: ''It''s a pile of iniquity.'' The manuscript lay for decades in a chest finally being proclaimed a "forgotten masterpiece" when it was eventually published in 2005. This epic Sicilian novel, which begins in the year 1900 and follows its main character, Modesta, through nearly the entire span of the 20th century, is at once a coming-of-age novel, a tale of sexual adventure and discovery, a fictional autobiography, and a sketch of Italy''s moral, political and social past. Born in a small Sicilian village and orphaned at age nine, Modesta spends her childhood in a convent raised by nuns.Through sheer cunning, she manages to escape, and eventually becomes a princess. Sensual, proud, and determined, Modesta wants to discover the infinite richness of life and sets about destroying all social barriers that impede her quest for the fulfilment of her desires.

The Book of Common Prayer - Brian Cummings

The Book of Common Prayer is one of the most influential books in history. First published in the reign of Edward VI, in 1549, it was a product of the English Reformation following the break with Rome. For nearly five centuries, it has formed the order of worship for established Christianity in England. More listeners have heard these prayers, it is said, than the soliloquies of Shakespeare. As British imperial ambitions spread, the Book of Common Prayer became the primary instrument (at least as much as the King James Bible) of English culture, firstly in Ireland in 1551. When the Puritans fled to America in 1620 it was to escape the discipline imposed by of the Book of Common Prayer, yet the book came to embody official religion in America before and after Independence, and is still in use. Today it is a global book: it was the first book printed in many languages, from north America to southern Africa, to the Indian sub-continent.
