This book was released on 2023-09-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spiritual brotherhood/sisterhood of Susila Budhi Dharma. Subud is an acronym of Susila Budhi Dharma. However, it's not simply the name of the organisation but a representation of what the Practice is trying to imbue or reawaken in a person. Susila stands for a person with a good character, Budhi is to have recognised the essence of God within oneself and Dharma to live a life guided by the essence of God, that is, not to hurt others or oneself and to be charitable through wealth, knowledge and/or kindness. The Sanskrit meanings differ and you will find variations of their meaning in other Subud literature, but in essence and summation this is Subud's use of the three Sanskrit words. This is some of my personal understanding and experiences of being a Subud practitioner for nearly forty years.
Download or read book The Many Faces of Subud written by Riantee Lydia Rand and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2005-04-18 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Subud is a direct and spontaneous spiritual experience that allows people to receive a contact with the Great Life Force. It re-awakens their inner feeling and puts them in touch with their own guidance, eventually bringing to the surface their true nature which was before obstructed and cluttered with erroneous beliefs, ancestral patterns of behavior, culture, education and their family malfunctions. Many have found a deeper understanding of their own religious beliefs from the evidence they receive for themselves. Others have come to actualize their true talent and work. There are Subud groups in eighty countries, bringing together harmoniously people of many different religious and ethnic backgrounds. The spiritual practice, or latihan, arises from within. It is a natural process that occurs without effort or study. This book is the result of the collaborative effort of three women who have practiced the latihan of Subud for decades. It compiles testimonies of Subud members from all over the world, on different topics. Each chapter begins with a short account of observations, experiences, receivings and dreams on the subject. People interviewed were of different age groups, social and ethnic backgrounds, some newly "opened" in Subud, some older members, some second and third generation Subud. The opening latihan - when one first receives this contact - is a ceremony of introduction into the spiritual exercise after a three-month period of inquiry referred to as the probation or investigation period. Through the latihan people renew their contact with the power of God and become aware of the latent powers that reside in all of humankind. The central feature of Subud is the latihankejiwaan, or inner training, which takes place for half an hour up to an hour, two or three times a week, and is practiced by men and women separately. Subud has little doctrinal teaching except for the belief in divine power and higher centers of consciousness. The implication is that people practicing the latihan align themselves with those higher centers. It is available to any person seventeen and older who has a sincere wish to worship God and wants to receive this contact. The action of the latihan within each person allows the power of God to express itself spontaneously through singing, chanting, shouting, moving, dancing, crying, laughing, etc. Subud's founder, Bapak Muhammad Subuh, explains that in this way, when in the latihan we make a complete surrender to the Power of God (or the Great Life Force), we can receive the education of our inner selves, free from interference by our minds and hearts and according to our own individual needs. Participants have often reported strong feelings of rapture and release, psychological and physical healing. During latihan, one lets go of thoughts and emotions in order to follow what surfaces: those movements and sounds that spontaneously arise from deep within. It is a form of cleansing which allows the worship of God to become stronger and less obstructed, a training that lets individuals get in touch, develop and trust their inner guidance, enabling the complete self to emerge through an action that comes from beyond the thinking and the will.

Book excerpt: Over the years many Subud members would ask me to write a book about my spiritual experiences in Subud. I would usually say that I would someday write one. But I never felt moved to do so by the power of God. I have always felt that if it was in accordance with God's will, that I would be moved to do it. Well finally one day, without thinking about it, I felt moved to start writing this book. To my surprise, it was January 31, 2011. This was the day that I experienced my official opening in Subud, forty-six years ago. Although I first received the spiritual exercise of Subud about six or seven months before my official opening when I had never even heard about Subud. I give my praise and thanks to the One Almighty God, to whom I owe everything. My feeling is that this book is especially for the young Subud members. My hope is that they will be given the enthusiasm to continue receiving the spiritual exercise of Subud and not get bored. I pray that God will give them the patience that is required to continue and the faith in God that is necessary for their well being and spiritual development. May God give them the understanding to wait until they are moved by the power of God and not use their own will when receiving the spiritual exercise of Subud.

Book excerpt: You cannot drink a cup of tea with your ear; neither can you find God using your mind or heart. Only your soul knows the right path. In Latihan—A Path to the Great Life and a New Way to Purify the Soul, author Rozak Tatebe provides a sweeping view of the spiritual movement Subud and the practice at its core—the latihan. Once the soul is awakened through contact with the Great Life, it can start to find its rightful place as the channel between the creator of the universe and our physical bodies and minds. In traditional religion, we have to rely on faith to understand spiritual content. The latihan gives us the means to verify our beliefs through direct experience without the interference of thoughts or emotions. This direct contact can transform our lives.
