Download or read book The Pure Heart of Acceptance written by Adrian Tanase and published by Crystal Gate Publishing. This book was released on 2022-12-11 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To me personally, acceptance began as a necessity rather than a spiritual pursuit. Amid life's trials, I explored various avenues to alleviate emotional pain – from meditation and mindfulness to seeking solace in nature and prayer. Yet, amidst these practices, I stumbled upon something more profound: acceptance. I soon realized that only through acceptance could I truly transform my life and surroundings. Over two years, I meticulously documented my journey and insights, culminating in the creation of this book. In crafting this book, I sought to distill my experiences into a concise yet rich narrative, detailing every step of my acceptance practice. At its core, acceptance is beautifully simple: it's about embracing the present moment with a calm heart that surrenders to what is. But simplicity does not equate to ease; it requires sustained and guided practice to yield true growth. Through my journey, I discovered that acceptance, when embraced wholeheartedly, has the power to gradually open our hearts like gentle flowers, allowing us to perceive the world in its pure, pristine quality. This profound revelation inspired me to rename this work from "The Path to Acceptance" to "The Pure Heart of Acceptance," reflecting the desire to live from a place of love, joy, and spiritual fulfillment. I hope this book serves as a guiding light on your own path towards acceptance, empowering you to embrace its transformative power and experience its profound impact on your life. Namaste.

Mantras, on the other hand, are short phrases that can be repeated in our minds, so we can clean our psyche of misconceptions and behavioral patterns that keep us stuck in our lives. Mantras are a great practice tool for both the spiritual practitioner and the simple person alike.

Download or read book Mindfulness in Your Everyday Life written by Adrian Tanase and published by Crystal Gate Publishing. This book was released on 2020-08-21 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The simple practice of mindfulness, which can be explained in a few words as "directing our awareness in the present moment", can help us maintain a clear mind and sharp attention, and it is discussed, explained, and analyzed from many different perspectives, uncovering most of the facets of conscious living, in our today's society. This book is all about mindful living, where two different practices are recurrently present, as a means to sustain our conscious approach: mindfulness and meditation. I am presenting simple techniques that will sustain a conscious approach to life, where your perception will always be clear and rooted in the present moment, and your life will always have a stress-free, relaxed, and aware point of view. Even if you already know about mindfulness or that you are looking to find a resource to explain it more in-depth to you, this book manages to touch most of the aspects that are related to our mind, and to our relation to this world, to the direct experience that we can have when we discard or transcend our Ego, and mostly, to our personal relationship with the dynamic and ever-changing present moment. I hope that everyone that reads my book will get to witness, in time, their pristine, clear, and natural state of mind, getting to gradually see the gaps of thought, through the practice of mindfulness and meditation, and finally, witnessing the unwavering mind of no-thought, which will illuminate and radically change their perception on life. Namaste

Download or read book Japanese Death Poems written by and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 1998-04-15 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A wonderful introduction the Japanese tradition of jisei, this volume is crammed with exquisite, spontaneous verse and pithy, often hilarious, descriptions of the eccentric and committed monastics who wrote the poems." --Tricycle: The Buddhist Review Although the consciousness of death is, in most cultures, very much a part of life, this is perhaps nowhere more true than in Japan, where the approach of death has given rise to a centuries-old tradition of writing jisei, or the "death poem." Such a poem is often written in the very last moments of the poet's life. Hundreds of Japanese death poems, many with a commentary describing the circumstances of the poet's death, have been translated into English here, the vast majority of them for the first time. Yoel Hoffmann explores the attitudes and customs surrounding death in historical and present-day Japan and gives examples of how these have been reflected in the nation's literature in general. The development of writing jisei is then examined--from the longing poems of the early nobility and the more "masculine" verses of the samurai to the satirical death poems of later centuries. Zen Buddhist ideas about death are also described as a preface to the collection of Chinese death poems by Zen monks that are also included. Finally, the last section contains three hundred twenty haiku, some of which have never been assembled before, in English translation and romanized in Japanese.

Download or read book The Poetry of Impermanence Mindfulness and Joy written by John Brehm and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-06-06 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 125 poetic companions, from Basho to Billy Collins, Saigyo to Shakespeare. The Poetry of Impermanence, Mindfulness, and Joy received the Spirituality & Practice Book Award for 50 Best Spiritual Books in 2017 by Spirituality and Practice Website. The poems expertly gathered here offer all that one might hope for in spiritual companionship: wisdom, compassion, peacefulness, good humor, and the ability to both absorb and express the deepest human emotions of grief and joy. The book includes a short essay on “Mindful Reading” and a meditation on sound from editor John Brehm—helping readers approach the poems from an experiential, non-analytical perspective and enter into the mindful reading of poetry as a kind of meditation. The Poetry of Impermanence, Mindfulness, and Joy offers a wide-ranging collection of 129 ancient and modern poems unlike any other anthology on bookshelves today. It uniquely places Buddhist poets like Han Shan, Tu Fu, Saigyo, Ryokan, Basho, Issa, and others alongside modern Western poets one would not expect to find in such a collection—poets like Wallace Stevens, Robert Frost, Elizabeth Bishop, William Stafford, Denise Levertov, Jack Gilbert, Ellen Bass, Billy Collins, and more. What these poems have in common, no matter whether they are explicitly Buddhist, is that all reflect the essential truths the Buddha articulated 2,500 years ago. The book provides an important poetic complement to the many prose books on mindfulness practice—the poems here both reflect and embody the dharma in ways that can’t be matched by other modes of writing. It’s unique features include an introduction that discusses the themes of impermanence, mindfulness, and joy and explores the relationship between them. Biographical notes place the poets in historical context and offer quotes and anecdotes to help readers learn about the poets’ lives.
