When people and circumstances upset us, how do we deal with them? Often, we feel victimized. We become hurt, angry, and defensive. We end up seeing others as enemies, and when things don’t go our way, we become enemies to ourselves. But what if we could move past this pain, anger, and defensiveness? Inspired by Buddhist philosophy, this book introduces us to the four kinds of enemies we encounter in the outer enemy, people, institutions, and situations that mean to harm us; the inner enemy, anger, hatred, fear, and other destructive emotions; the secret enemy, self-obsession that isolates us from others; and the super-secret enemy, deep-seated self-loathing that prevents us from finding inner freedom and true happiness. In this practical guide, we learn not only how to identify our enemies, but more important, how to transform our relationship to them. Love Your Enemies teaches us how to . . . break free from the mode of “us” versus “them” thinking develop compassion, patience, and love accept what is beyond our control embrace lovingkindness, right speech, and other core concepts Throughout, authors Sharon Salzberg and Robert Thurman share stories and exercises for achieving finding peace within yourself and with the world. Drawing from ancient spiritual wisdom and modern psychology, Love Your Enemies presents tools that are useful for all readers.

Kniha představuje jednoho z nejpozoruhodnějších lidí současnosti 14. tibetského dalajlamu Tändzina Gjamccha v celé ohromující šíři jeho osobnosti, kterou u nás dosud neznáme: jako buddhistického mnicha, učitele buddhismu, hlasatele mezináboženské snášenlivosti, jako filosofa a vědce, politického představitele a vůdce Tibeťanů a v neposlední řadě i jako transreligiózního proroka, oslovujícího lidi všech vyznání i bez vyznání.

Robert Thurman asks us to examine our assumptions about life and death, and to consider the possibility that our lives are not only meaningful, but that they have an enormous impact. Following the teachings of the Buddha, Infinite Life introduces seven Buddhist virtues for cultivating the positive in our lives. Robert Thurman teaches the reader to let go of a rigid sense of 'self' and to fully experience full satisfaction with ourselves, the people who surround us and contribute meaningfully to the world.

Grenzenlos leben - wer wollte das nicht? Doch ist dies nicht ein Aufruf, noch egoistischer und selbstbezogener zu sein, als wir es ohnehin schon sind? Robert Thurman lädt uns in seinem neuen Buch ein, die Möglichkeit eines grenzenlosen Lebens zuzulassen. Wenn wir uns nicht auf unsere gegenwärtige Lebensspanne beschränken, sondern das Leben in einer erweiterten Perspektive betrachten, dann erwächst daraus ein Gefühl tiefer Verbundenheit zu allem, was uns umgibt - ein neues Gefühl der Verantwortung für uns selbst und andere. Wir müssen, so Thurman, unsere "Unsterblichkeit" leben, und zwar hier und jetzt, müssen in der Gegenwart die Verantwortung übernehmen für unser Handeln und dessen Wirkungen. Eine solche Sichtweise wird unser Leben, wird unsere Gesellschaft grundlegend verändern. Stützpfeiler einer solchen Entwicklung sind sechs Elemente: Weisheit, Großzügigkeit, Gerechtigkeit, Geduld, Kreativität und Kontemplation. Ausführliche Übungsanleitungen in jedem Kapitel helfen, das siebte Element, die Kunst des grenzenlosen Lebens, zu entfalten.

"In Anger, Robert A. F. Thurman, one of America's leading authorities on Buddhism and Eastern philosophy, offers a look at this deadliest of sins. In the West, Thurman points out, anger is seen as an inevitable part of life, an evil to be borne, not overcome. There is the tradition of the wrathful God, of Jesus driving the money-changers from the temple. If God can be angry, how can men rid themselves of this destructive emotion? Thurman shows that Eastern philosophy sees anger differently. Certainly, it is a dreadful evil, one of the "three poisons" that underlie all human suffering. But Buddhism teaches that anger can be overcome. Indeed, the defeat of anger is not only possible, but also the only thing worth doing in a lifetime. Thurman shows how to recognize the destructiveness of anger and understand its workings, and how we can go from having a slave to anger to becoming "a knight of patience." We discover finally that when this deadliest emotion is transmitted by wisdom, it can become the most powerful force in freeing us from human suffering."--BOOK JACKET

Beschrijving van een pelgrimstocht naar de heiligste plaats in het Tibetaans boeddhisme, de berg Kailas.

To Tibetan Buddhists, Mount Kailash is the most magical place on earth, a place where one's prayers are answered instantly. The journey to the diamond-shaped peak is arduous, as it is located in the heart of the world's tallest mountains; yet it is well worth the effort. For according to tradition, one trip around the sacred mountain at 18,600 feet can wipe away the sins of a lifetime. It was this promise of transformation that inspired Robert Thurman, preeminent Buddhist scholar and teacher, to lead a group of eager pilgrims on the spiritual trek of a lifetime. Among the group was a former student and longtime friend, Tad Wise. Together, Thurman and Wise recount their experience circling the mountain, in chapters that counterpoint the most profound inner teachings of Tibetan Buddhism with a magnificent description of a land of awesome beauty and unexpected hardships. Chronicling the inner as well as the outer journey, confrontations both physical and metaphysical, Circling the Sacred Mountain serves as an inspiring metaphor for the challenging passage to enlightenment open to each of us.

"Inner Revolution" shows that it is a misunderstanding of reality that produces the cynicism we now live with. The Western world view has taken root through a view of history that sees wars as its landmarks; a view of society indicating that we should expect the worst of one another; a view of life as a one-time, meaningless event. Enlightenment scientists, as Thurman calls those who have followed in the footsteps of the Buddha, have left behind a method for proving just the opposite. Other histories and the empirical exploration of reality and the psyche by the Buddha demonstrate that the worldview the West has inherited is nothing but a trick of our own imaginations. "Inner Revolution" reveals the principles of the movement to celebrate individual happiness, which the Buddha initiated 2,500 years ago, and shows how to continue it. This is a deeply intelligent primer on practical Buddhism, written in the engaging context of a completely original understanding of the history of civilization.

In addition to capturing brilliantly the overwhelming beauty of Tibet, Kazuyoshi Nomachi reveals in his photography a rare intimacy with the country that comes from many visits spent living among its people. Through Nomachi's eyes we witness the beauty of a land and its people whose gentle spirituality is threatened by the onslaught of a different set of values from the outside world. Complementing the photographs is authoritative and informative text edited by Robert Thurman.
