From the very first chapter, we begin to dispel the misunderstandings that have surrounded the words of the Buddha. We come to understand the origins of unhappiness that have taken root in the body. Freeing ourselves from these roots, we are able to find peace. Although the words on the Buddha are easily mistaken, Devean gives us an extraordinary explanation for the modern person. The essence of the Buddha's path to enlightenment suited for the plights of the modern world. Modern Buddhism is unlike other Buddhist books.

Download or read book Awakening the Buddha Within written by Lama Surya Das and published by Harmony. This book was released on 1998-06-15 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lama Surya Das, the most highly trained American lama in the Tibetan tradition, presents the definitive book on Western Buddhism for the modern-day spiritual seeker. The radical and compelling message of Buddhism tells us that each of us has the wisdom, awareness, love, and power of the Buddha within; yet most of us are too often like sleeping Buddhas. In Awakening the Buddha Within, Surya Das shows how we can awaken to who we really are in order to lead a more compassionate, enlightened, and balanced life. It illuminates the guidelines and key principles embodied in the noble Eight-Fold Path and the traditional Three Enlightenment Trainings common to all schools of Buddhism: Wisdom Training: Developing clear vision, insight, and inner understanding—seeing reality and ourselves as we really are. Ethics Training: Cultivating virtue, self-discipline, and compassion in what we say and do. Meditation Training: Practicing mindfulness, concentration, and awareness of the present moment. With lively stories, meditations, and spiritual practices, Awakening the Buddha Within is an invaluable text for the novice and experienced student of Buddhism alike.

Download or read book Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha written by Daniel Ingram and published by Aeon Books. This book was released on 2020-01-20 with total page 715 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The very idea that the teachings can be mastered will arouse controversy within Buddhist circles. Even so, Ingram insists that enlightenment is an attainable goal, once our fanciful notions of it are stripped away, and we have learned to use meditation as a method for examining reality rather than an opportunity to wallow in self-absorbed mind-noise. Ingram sets out concisely the difference between concentration-based and insight (vipassana) meditation; he provides example practices; and most importantly he presents detailed maps of the states of mind we are likely to encounter, and the stages we must negotiate as we move through clearly-defined cycles of insight. Its easy to feel overawed, at first, by Ingram's assurance and ease in the higher levels of consciousness, but consistently he writes as a down-to-earth and compassionate guide, and to the practitioner willing to commit themselves this is a glittering gift of a book.In this new edition of the bestselling book, the author rearranges, revises and expands upon the original material, as well as adding new sections that bring further clarity to his ideas.

Download or read book Confessions of a Seeker Adventures in Spirituality Therapy and Belief written by Richard Sylvester and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-08-24 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is monotheism humankind's second worst idea? Would you really want to meet your dharmic partner? Does free will exist? Is the too much examined life not worth living? How would you remove a curse from a dead Tibetan lama? What is consciousness? And why won't the vicar let us use his church hall? 'Confessions of a Seeker' is Richard Sylvester's fifth book. It is a sometimes wryly humorous, sometimes deeply serious account of several decades spent searching for "ultimate truth" through Eastern spiritual paths and Western psychotherapeutic practices. During these years, Richard became involved among other things with hallucinogenic drugs, Transcendental Meditation, gurus, past life regression therapy, personal growth groups, shamanism, channelling and alternative medicine. He came across numerous beliefs including conspiracy theories about shape-shifting lizards and Atlantean crystals. As well as recounting adventures with therapists, lamas, psychics, and amiable hippies who fear that tap water might kill them, the book tackles religious belief head on, with chapters on Buddhism, Catholicism and The Baptist Church. It also addresses more philosophical issues such as free will, the nature of consciousness, and the essential difference between science and religion. "Tricia has been spreading the worst rumour about me that she has been able to concoct. But it is not that I roast and eat babies on the Sabbath, nor that I dance naked with the devil and consort with his minions. It is that I am that most dangerous of all people .......... a Buddhist!" "Past life regression has become popular amongst the faintly hippy spiritually inclined seekers of whom I am one." "My view is that the world would be a better place if the Pope commanded his Cardinals to distribute lorry loads of free condoms to the Catholic faithful." "I have cleaned toilets and swept floors on three continents. I am not boasting. This is simply a statement of fact." Richard Sylvester's previous books include 'I Hope You Die Soon' and 'Non-Duality Questions, Non-Duality Answers'. www.richardsylvester.com
