Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La cuestión de nuestra verdadera naturaleza ha atravesado los siglos. Místicos, religiosos, filósofos, científicos, todos han tratado de responder a ella. El libro que tiene en sus manos es una respuesta a esta pregunta. Pero es una respuesta excepcional, rara e incluso inédita en Francia o España. Aunque es un eco directo de las palabras de Buda, del budismo original, será sin duda una sorpresa para nosotros. En primer lugar, porque nadie ha traducido nunca los escritos del maestro Xiao Ping-Shi, que sin duda es reconocido por miles de budistas como el mayor maestro espiritual budista de nuestro tiempo. En segundo lugar, porque su lectura de los sutras es como un aire nuevo y refrescante en la tierra del budismo. La publicación en español de esta conferencia, que pronunció en 1996, es un acto revolucionario en las representaciones occidentales del budismo y, más ampliamente, de la espiritualidad. De este libro ha salido enriquecido el espíritu, oxigenado con información precisa y rigurosa sobre el tathagatagarbha, nuestro verdadero Yo, y enriquecido por las decenas de citas de sutras que el maestro Xiao propone para apoyar sus afirmaciones. Se trata, pues, de un verdadero trueno en el cielo del budismo, un cielo lleno, especialmente para Occidente, de las concepciones del budismo tibetano con las que hoy está más o menos familiarizado. Porque la lectura de los sutras que hace el maestro Xiao contrasta con todo lo que se ha leído y oído sobre el budismo. Una por una, disipa las ilusiones que han rodeado el concepto de tathagatagarbha, los malentendidos en los que se ha visto envuelta la mente europea al respecto. A través de un análisis agudo y experto, este gran maestro iluminado nos ayuda a separar el trigo de la paja y ofrece así la oportunidad de que el budismo renazca en Occidente y libere las mentes de todos los espejismos que lo han rodeado durante siglos.

Book excerpt: Pocos se encuentran mejor situados para hablar sobre el budismo y su futuro que Sogyal Rimpoch&é, autor de la innovadora obra El libro tibetano de la vida y de la muerte y uno de los maestros de meditaci&ón m&ás conocidos en la actualidad. En este notable libro, Sogyal Rimpoch&é recurre a su experiencia de veinticinco a&ños de ense&ñanza entre nosotros para reflexionar sobre algunos de los principales temas relacionados con la llegada del budismo a Occidente. &¿C&ómo se adaptar&á el budismo y encontrar&á un lugar en la sociedad occidental? &¿C&ómo se puede acceder hoy plenamente al poder y el beneficio de estas antiguas ense&ñanzas? &¿Y c&ómo se puede formar y apoyar a sus practicantes? Rimpoch&é comenta el papel vital de la mente en la salud, los efectos de entrenar la mente en la meditaci&ón y la sanaci&ón suprema que se produce mediante la experiencia personal de la propia naturaleza de la mente. Asimismo, ofrece valiosos consejos sobre la manera de mantenerse en el camino espiritual, en el que, quiz&á m&ás que en ning&ún otro lugar, es esencial desenmascarar los enga&ños ilusorios cotidianos que de otro modo pueden dominar toda nuestra vida.

Download or read book The Failure of Modern Civilization and the Struggle for a deep Alternative written by Claudia von Werlhof and published by Beiträge zur Dissidenz. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western civilization is the Utopia of a better and higher life on Earth. The globalization of neo-liberalism proves that this project has failed. The paradigm of «Critical Theory of Patriarchy» explains this failure and discusses alternatives. By confronting the central civilizations in history, the egalitarian, life-oriented matriarchal one, and the hierarchical, nature and life dominating, hostile patriarchal one, we see that 5000 years of patriarchy have «replaced» matriarchies and nature itself by a «progressive» counter-world of «capital». This transformation characterizes «capitalist patriarchy» including «socialism». Its demise is due to the «alchemical» destruction of the world's resources, thought of, theologically legitimized and fetishized as «creation». This violence is not recognized. Elites have, instead, begun with a new «military alchemy», treating the whole Planet as weapon of mass destruction. Hence, the «Planetary Movement for Mother Earth».
Download or read book A Profound Mind written by Dalai Lama and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2012-09-25 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time for general readers, the Dalai Lama presents a comprehensive overview of the most important teaching of Buddhism. Perhaps the main difference between Buddhism and other religions is its understanding of our core identity. The existence of the soul or self, which is central in different ways to Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, is actually denied in Buddhism. Even further, belief in a “self” is seen as the main source of our difficulties in life. Yet a true understanding of this teaching does not lead one to a despairing, cynical worldview with a sense that life has no meaning—Far from it, a genuine understanding leads to authentic happiness for an individual and the greatest source of compassion for others. In 2003 and in 2007, the Dalai Lama was invited to New York to give a series of talks on the essential Buddhist view of selflessness. This new book, the result of those talks, is now offered to help broaden awareness of this essential doctrine and its usefulness in living a more meaningful and happy life. While the Dalai Lama offers a full presentation of his teachings on these key philosophical points for contemplation, he also shows readers how to bring these teachings actively into their own lives with recommendations for a personal practice. It is only by actually living these teachings that we allow them to bring about a genuine transformation in our perception of ourselves and our lives A Profound Mind offers important wisdom for those committed to bringing about change in the world through developing their own spiritual capabilities, whether they are Buddhists or not.

Download or read book I the Supreme written by Augusto Roa Bastos and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2019-02-26 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I the Supreme imagines a dialogue between the nineteenth-century Paraguayan dictator known as Dr. Francia and Policarpo Patiño, his secretary and only companion. The opening pages present a sign that they had found nailed to the wall of a cathedral, purportedly written by Dr. Francia himself and ordering the execution of all of his servants upon his death. This sign is quickly revealed to be a forgery, which takes leader and secretary into a larger discussion about the nature of truth: “In the light of what Your Eminence says, even the truth appears to be a lie.” Their conversation broadens into an epic journey of the mind, stretching across the colonial history of their nation, filled with surrealist imagery, labyrinthine turns, and footnotes supplied by a mysterious “compiler.” A towering achievement from a foundational author of modern Latin American literature, I the Supreme is a darkly comic, deeply moving meditation on power and its abuse—and on the role of language in making and unmaking whole worlds.
