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.

Jeho Svatost Dalajlama rozebírá báseň o sedmnácti slokách, kterou napsal historicky první pančhenlama, který získal tento titul za života, Lozang Čhökji Gjalcchän a jmenuje se Prosba o vysvobození z hrozivé tísně přechodného stavu, Hrdina osvobozující od strachu. Mnozí Tibeťané si ji denně připomínají, když meditují o umírání. Popisuje speciální buddhistické techniky k překonání strachu ze smrti. Jak využít stadia umírání k duchovnímu pokroku. Rozebírá postupně každou její sloku a na závěr ještě přichází shrnutí, které vyzdvihují hlavní myšlenky a přináší konkrétní rady pro každodenní život.

Výklad prokládá příběhy duchovních setkání a událostí kolem volby posledního pančhenlamy tak, jak je sám prožíval.

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.

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.

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. This first volume, now in paperback, also provides a wealth of reflections on Buddhist history and fundamentals, contemporary issues, and the Dalai Lama’s own personal ...

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.

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.

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.

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.

He was a regular reporter on The New York Times’s popular podcast The Daily and told listeners early on to prepare for the worst. He’d covered public health for twenty-five years and quickly realized that an obscure virus in Wuhan, China, was destined to grow into a global pandemic rivaling the 1918 Spanish flu.

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.

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. Volume 1, Approaching the Buddhist Path, contains introductory material that sets the context for Buddhist practice. Volume 2, The Foundation of ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The Wisdom of Finance - Mihir Desai
Longlisted for the FT & McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award 2017Finance is shrouded in mystery for outsiders, while many insiders are uneasy with the disrepute of their profession. How can finance become more accessible and also recover its nobility?Harvard Business School professor Mihir Desai takes up the cause of restoring humanity to finance. With deft wit, he draws upon a rich knowledge of literature, film, history, and philosophy to explain finance''s inner workings. Through this creative approach, he shows that outsiders can easily access the underlying ideas and insiders can reacquaint themselves with the core values of their profession. This combination of finance and the humanities creates unusual and illuminating pairings: Jane Austen and Anthony Trollope are guides to risk management; Jeff Koons becomes an advocate of leverage; and Mel Brooks'' The Producers teaches us about fiduciary responsibility. In Desai''s vision, the principles of finance also provide answers to critical questions in our lives: bankruptcy teaches us how to react to failure, the lessons of mergers apply to marriages, and the Capital Asset Pricing Model demonstrates the true value of relationships.The Wisdom of Finance is a wholly unique book, offering an enlivening new perspective on one of the ...

The Wisdom of the Ancients - H. A. Drake
This book is about four cornerstones of modern thought that were put in place by people living in the ancient Mediterranean world. It covers approximately 2,000 years in time (from ca. 1000 BCE to 1000 CE) and spatially moves from the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in Mesopotamia (roughly, modern Iraq), through Greece and Rome, to the new Germanic states growing in what is now western Europe.The four ideas, as author H. A. Drake proposes, are monotheism, the idea that there is only one god, not many; individual rights, the idea that there is a limit to what the state can order us to do; naturalized citizenship, the idea that the full rights and privileges of citizenship can be extended to people who have no birthright to them; and creation of a standard by which to judge the performance of states. It is easy, now, to take these ideas for granted. For believers, it seems obvious that only a singular, omnipotent deity can account for the splendour of the universe. Similarly, the common notion that individuals can stand up for their rights, that citizenship can be freely given, or that governments ought to be held to a standard of justice for ...
