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 ...

The Song of the Poor
Tommy Greenan was a young Scottish priest who chose to live and work among the poorest of the poor in civil war-torn El Salvador in the 1980s and early 1990s, shortly after the altar assassination of Archbishop Óscar Romero, whose ministry to the victims of state repression had greatly inspired him. Tommy shared the poverty, fears and grief of the communities in which he lived. Death was an everyday reality, and priests who sided with the poor were considered subversives, enemies of the regime. Amid the danger and his pastoral duties, he wrote hundreds of reflections, stories and meditations that gave true witness to the daily life of his friends and neighbours. Together they represent a passionate voice for the voiceless, a memorial to short lives that would otherwise have been unknown and unseen. Following Tommy’s death, The Song of the Poor collects an exceptional selection of his writings from El Salvador, presented in beautiful, often shattering, short chapters. They are intense and moving, yet often humorous, ranging from colourful human encounters to profound meditations on personal, political and religious matters. They provide an unforgettable chronicle of the life of the poor and of a remarkable individual in a time ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Jeho Svatost Dalajlama komentuje středověkou báseň o přípravě na smrt, překonání strachu z ní a doplňuje ji příklady pro hlubší porozumění tématu. 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. Jak a proč meditovat o pomíjivosti, jak vytvořit vhodné prostředí pro umírající, jak praktikovat meditace během umírání. Výklad prokládá příběhy duchovních setkání a událostí kolem volby posledního pančhenlamy tak, jak je sám prožíval. Celou knihou se jako červená nit vine snaha o zbavení se strachu ze smrti, uvědomění si drahocennosti času života.

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.

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.

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. ...

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.

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.

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 ...

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.

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.

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 book is a first. There has never been one entirely dedicated to the spiritual life of the Dalai Lama. Yet as one of the world''s most recognised, and respected, spiritual leaders there is already great interest in such a work from His Holiness'' thousands of friends and followers around the world. The Dalai Lama sees himself first and foremost as a human being, secondly as a monk and thirdly as the former political leader of Tibet. In this extraordinary autobiography we read many hitherto unknown stories from his childhood, his formation as a monk and his gradual development as a leader of his people. We are offered a view of his daily spiritual practise, invited to listen in on the dialogue he has been pursuing with other religions, with non-believers and with scientists in his search for ethical and environmental principles, and shown how he brings a sense of goodness and conscience to political life around the globe.In a world that is so profoundly interdependent, the Dalai Lama explains how he transforms himself through spiritual means in order to have a positive effect on the world, and he encourages us to do the same by working on ourselves first ...

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.

Jesus the Purifier – John`s Gospel and the Fourth Quest for the Historical Jesus - Craig L. Blomberg
Christianity Today 2024 Book Award (Biblical Studies)The third quest for the historical Jesus has reached an impasse. But a fourth quest is underway--one that draws from a heretofore largely neglected source: John''s Gospel.In this book, now in paperback, renowned New Testament scholar Craig Blomberg advances the idea that John is a viable and valuable source for studying the historical Jesus. The data from John should be integrated with that of the Synoptics, which will yield additional insights into Jesus''s emphases and ministry.Blomberg begins by reviewing the first three quests, reassessing both their contributions and their shortcomings. He then discusses the emerging consensus regarding demonstrably historical portions of John, which are more numerous than usually assumed. Peeling back the layers, we discover in Jesus''s ministry an emphasis on purity and purification. The Synoptics corroborate this discovery, specifically in Jesus''s meals with sinners. Blomberg then explores the practical and contemporary applications of Jesus the purifier, including the "contagious holiness" that Jesus''s followers can spread to others.

The Prosecutor - Nazir Afzal
The outsider who transformed our justice systemNazir Afzal knows a thing or two about justice.

On the Wrong Side - J. M. G. Le Clezio
A short story collection from Nobel Prize winner J. M. G. Le Clézio offers a poignant and powerful exploration of the lives of the underprivileged and marginalized. J. M. G. Le Clézio’s On the Wrong Side, a collection of eight short stories, continues the author’s life-long pursuit of granting visibility to the unseen and a voice to the voiceless.

When Lucy, a little girl who refuses to speak, comes into their lives, there is suddenly a bridge from their pasts that offers them the possibility of redemption.Infused with character, mystery and humour, these lives intertwine and become bound together as Auster brilliantly explores the wider terrain of contemporary America - a crucible of broken dreams and of human folly.

Auster''s existential tale of Mr Blank from the author of contemporary classic The New York Trilogy: ''a literary voice for the ages'' (Guardian) An old man sits in a room, with a single door and window, a bed, a desk and a chair. Each day he awakes with no memory, unsure of whether or not he is locked into the room. Attached to the few objects around him are one-word, hand-written, labels and on the desk is a series of vaguely familiar black-and-white photgraphs and four piles of paper. Then a middle-aged woman called Anna enters and talks of pills and treatment, but also of love and promises.Who is this Mr Blank, and what is his fate? What does Anna represent from his past - and will he have enough time to ever make sense of the clues that arise?After the huge success of The Brooklyn Follies, Travels in the Scriptorium sees Auster return to more metaphysical territory. A dark puzzle, and a game that implicates both reader and writer alike, it is an ingenious exploration of language, responsibility and the passage of time.

The Metaphysics of Historical Jesus Research - Jonathan Rowlands
In this book Rowlands interrogates the theological and philosophical foundations of the ''Quest'' for the historical Jesus, from Reimarus to the present day, culminating in a call for greater metaphysical transparency and diversity in the discipline.This multidisciplinary approach to historical Jesus research, drawing on historiography, sociology, philosophy, and theology, makes a significant and original contribution to the field. Part I outlines the implicit role of metaphysical presuppositions in historical methodology by examining the concept of an historiographical worldview. Part II provides an overview of the ''Quest'' for the historical Jesus, demonstrating that the disparate historiographical worldviews operative in the ''Quest'' evidence a particular shared characteristic, in that they might accurately be described as ‘secular.’ Rowlands’ study concludes with a call for a greater plurality and openness regarding the philosophical and theological presuppositions at work in historical Jesus research.The Metaphysics of Historical Jesus Research is of interest to students and scholars working on New Testament studies and historical Jesus research.
