V šestatřiceti letech byl Yongey Mingyur Rinpočhe (nar. 1975) vycházející zářivou hvězdou mezi tibetskými mistry své generace a respektovaným opatem tří klášterů. Napsal několik bestsellerů, které hltali především západní sympatizanti stále populárnějšího tibetského buddhismu. Indičtí guruové a tibetští učitelé bývají na Západě nekriticky idealizováni, a z krásných slov Mingyura Rinpočheho mnozí bezesporu usoudili, že je vysoce realizovanou duchovní bytostí. Jenže Mingyur Rinpočhe se rozhodl sám sebe konfrontovat s realitou, a stejně jako Buddha před dvěma a půl tisíci lety opustil v noci a potají zázemí pohodlného života a bez prostředků odešel do bezdomoví vstříc nemilosrdné samsáře. Okamžitě byl postaven před skutečnost, že ho ani celoživotní studium buddhistické teorie a meditační praxe nepřipravily na pobyt se špinavými spolucestujícími v přecpaném vlaku. Zjistil, že je příliš připoután ke své identitě buddhistického mnicha, aby dokázal svléknout své roucho nebo nocovat na holé zemi. Rychle mu ale došly peníze, takže nezbylo než doopravdy žít jako potulný žebrák. Poměrně brzy smrtelně onemocněl po otravě jídlem - a jeho pouť dospěla k překvapivému vyústění. Dosavadním meditačním výcvikem byl teoreticky připraven na setkání se smrtí a náhle měl příležitost svou přípravu reálně prověřit. Předpisy buddhistickým mnichům zakazují referovat o jejich duchovní úrovni i vlastních zkušenostech. Tváří v ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Deepen your awareness through the Tibetan practice of sleep and dream yoga—both presented here in this “thought-provoking, inspiring, and lucid” guide (Stephen LaBerge, PhD, author of Lucid Dreaming) It is said that the practice of dream yoga deepens our awareness during all our experience: the dreams of the night; the dream-like experience of the day; and the bardo experiences after death. Indeed, the practice of dream yoga is a powerful tool of awakening, used for hundreds of years by the great masters of the Tibetan traditions. Unlike in the Western psychological approach to dreams, the ultimate goal of Tibetan dream yoga is the recognition of the nature of mind or enlightenment itself. "If we cannot carry our practice into sleep," Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche states, "if we lose ourselves every night, what chance do we have to be aware when death comes? Look to your experience in dreams to know how you will fare in death. Look to your experience of sleep to discover whether or not you are truly awake."

Longlisted for the 2022 Runciman AwardFew classical stories are as exciting as that of Jason and the Golden Fleece. The legend of the boy, who discovers a new identity as son of a usurped king and leads a crew of demi-gods and famous heroes, has resonated through the ages, rumbling like the clashing rocks, which almost pulverised the Argo. The myth and its reception inspires endless engagements: while it tells of a quest to the ends of the earth, of the tyrants Pelias and Aetes, of dragons'' teeth, of the loss of Hylas (beloved of Hercules) stolen away by nymphs, and of Jason''s seduction of the powerful witch Medea (later betrayed for a more useful princess), it speaks to us of more: of gender and sexuality; of heroism and lost integrity; of powerful gods and terrifying monsters; of identity and otherness; of exploration and exploitation. The Argonauts are emblems of collective heroism, yet also of the emptiness of glory. From Pindar to J. W. Waterhouse, Apollonius of Rhodes to Ray Harryhausen, and Robert Graves to Mary Zimmerman, the Argonaut myth has produced later interpretations as rich, salty and complex as the ancient versions.

What are the ethical, political and cultural consequences of forgetting how to trust our senses? How can artworks help us see, sense, think, and interact in ways that are outside of the systems of convention and order that frame so much of our lives? In Cultivating Perception through Artworks, Helen Fielding challenges us to think alongside and according to artworks, cultivating a perception of what is really there and being expressed by them. Drawing from and expanding on the work of philosophers such as Luce Irigaray and Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Fielding urges us to trust our senses and engage relationally with works of art in the here and now rather than distancing and systematizing them as aesthetic objects. Cultivating Perception through Artworks examines examples as diverse as a Rembrandt painting, M. NourbeSe Philip's poetry, and Louise Bourgeois' public sculpture, to demonstrate how artworks enact ethics, politics, or culture. By engaging with different art forms and discovering the unique way that each opens us to the world in a new and unexpected ways, Fielding reveals the importance of our moral, political, and cultural lives.

Do employees take responsibility for managing risk? If your response to these questions is guarded or uncertain, this book will have value for you and your organization.Organizations and leaders in a widening risk environment face four realities which challenge their ability to manage risk: (1) the two-dimensional nature of risk—risk itself and behavior in response to risk, (2) the diversity of attitudes and behavior in relationship to risk, (3) the influence on behavior of cognitive, psychological and contextual factors that are part of social dynamics and (4) the compounding effect of social dynamics that make risk difficult to manage. These realities add up to a conundrum: The challenge for organizations and leaders lies not in risk itself but in social dynamics that shape behavior in response to risk.Whether triggered by an internal problem or external event, risk management failures often result from a lack of understanding of causative factors and behavior in response to risk.

Bestselling author Philip Matyszak explores how the Greeks and Romans used magic, who performed it – and why. Magic was everywhere in the ancient world. The supernatural abounded, turning flowers into fruit and caterpillars into butterflies. Magic packed a cloud of water vapour with energy enough to destroy a house with one well-aimed thunderbolt. It was everyday magic, but it was still magical. Philip Matyszak takes readers into that world. He shows us how to make a love potion or cast a curse, how to talk to the dead and how to identify and protect oneself from evil spirits. He takes us to a world where gods, like humans, were creatures of space and time; where people could not just talk to spirits and deities, but could even themselves become divine; and where divine beings could fall from – or be promoted to – full godhood. Ancient Magic offers us a new way of understanding the role of magic, looking at its history in all of its classical forms. Drawing on a wide array of sources, from Greek dramas to curse tablets, lavishly illustrated throughout, and packed with information, surprises, lore and learning, this book offers an engaging and accessible ...

''A compelling tale... a narrative that makes such a brave effort to see history as it evolves and not as it becomes.'' SPECTATORSuffused with the tense atmosphere of the times, and with brilliant portraits of Hitler, Goebbels, Goering and Himmler amongst others, Erik Larson''s new book sheds unique light on events as they unfold, resulting in an unforgettable, addictively readable work of narrative history.Berlin,1933. William E. Dodd, a mild-mannered academic from Chicago, has to his own and everyone else''s surprise, become America''s first ambassador to Hitler''s Germany, in a year that proves to be a turning point in history. Dodd and his family, notably his vivacious daughter, Martha, observe at first-hand the many changes - some subtle, some disturbing, and some horrifically violent - that signal Hitler''s consolidation of power. Dodd has little choice but to associate with key figures in the Nazi party, his increasingly concerned cables make little impact on an indifferent U.S. State Department, while Martha is drawn to the Nazis and their vision of a ''New Germany'' and has a succession of affairs with senior party players, including first chief of the Gestapo, Rudolf Diels.

And it''s also the perfect excuse to revisit the Blondie phenomenon, the art of photographing rock stars, and why, perhaps, bands aren''t "made" like they used to be." — GQ Mexico"Goddard’s lens doesn’t merely document Blondie’s rise; it captures a turning point in music and visual culture." — Louder Than WarBlondie in Camera 1978 is richly illustrated with photographer Martyn Goddard’s most famous images of Blondie.
