Ergebnis für "Zen Ghosts" in Buddhismus

Die Philosophie eines aufgeräumten Lebens In diesem Hörbuch zeigt Zen-Mönch Shunmyo Masuno, wie wir aus den alltäglichen Pflichten ein sinnvolles, freudiges Tun machen. Selbst beim ungeliebten Putzen und Aufräumen können wir ganz bei uns selbst sein und unser Herz klären. Seine Grundidee ist: Jeder Mensch wird mit einem reinen Herzen geboren, einem "Herzen ohne Wolken". Im Laufe des Lebens wird es jedoch verunreinigt und umwölkt. Putzen und Aufräumen sind sozusagen symbolische Handlungen im Zen, um dabei auch unseren Geist wieder zu reinigen und unser Inneres aufzuräumen.

Viele von uns suchen nach außergewöhnlichen Erfahrungen. Wir klettern auf hohe Berge, buchen Wellnessurlaube in Thailand oder entfliehen in Yoga-Retreats - alles, um uns selbst zu finden und mit der Welt in Einklang zu bringen. Zurück im Alltag sind die Einsichten aber oft schnell wieder verschwunden. Die Routine hat uns erneut fest im Griff. Doch das eigene Leben nachhaltig zu verändern, ist gar nicht so schwer. Und wir brauchen auch keine außergewöhnlichen Erlebnisse dafür!

Dieses Hörbuch leitet an, erklärt die Hintergründe und will motivieren, sich auf die Praxis des Zen einzulassen, sich auf den Weg zu begeben, das Leben in seiner Tiefe zu erleben. Zen ist mittlerweile fester Bestandteil westlicher Bewusstseinsübungen.

“When you wake up and you see that the Earth is not just the environment, the Earth is us, you touch the nature of interbeing. And at that moment you can have real communication with the Earth… We have to wake up together. And if we wake up together, then we have a chance. Our way of living...

The question-and-answer format makes this introduction to Zen especially easy to understand - and also to use as a reference, as you can easily look up just the question you had in mind. The esteemed Zen teacher Norman Fischer and his old friend and teaching colleague Susan Moon (both of them in the lineage of Shunryu Suzuki, author of Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind) give this collaborative effort a playful tone: Susan asks a question on our behalf, Norman answers it, and then Sue challenges him.

Zen is not a theology, it is a unique phenomenon. Not easy to understand for a Western mind. Most religions exist around the concept of God. For Zen, the individual human is the goal - an end unto himself. So there is no concept of God in Zen. Certainly those who have been brought up as Christians, Muslims, Hindus, or Jews, cannot conceive of what sort of religion Zen is. If there is no God, then it becomes atheism. It is not; it is theism to the very core - but without God. This is the first fundamental to be understood. Let it sink deep within you, then things will become clear.

In Zen Is Right Now, devoted student and biographer David Chadwick sheds new light on Suzuki’s presence and teachings through selected quotes from his lectures and a variety of stories told by his students.

I love the statement that the "man of Zen walks in Zen and sits in Zen" for the simple reason that meditation cannot be just a part of your life. You cannot make a fragment of your life meditative.

These hilarious essays on life inside and outside a Zen monastery make up the spiritual memoir of Shozan Jack Haubner, a Zen monk who didn’t really start out to be one. Raised in a conservative Catholic family, Shozan went on to study philosophy (becoming de-Catholicized in the process) and to pursue a career as a screenwriter and stand-up comic in the clubs of L.A. How he went from life in the fast lane to life on the stationary meditation cushion is the subject of this laugh-out-loud funny account of his experiences.

In this collection of inspirational writings, novice and experienced practitioners are treated to four key works that rank high in the Zen canon: 101 Zen Stories recounts actual experiences with Zen that span five centuries. The Gateless Gate is a 13th-century collection of mind problems used in the practice of Zen. Ten Bulls is a 12th-century commentary on the stages of awareness that lead to enlightenment. Centering is a 4,000-year-old teaching from India that may have been the source of Zen.

Zen says that if you want to find truth, you have to seek. Zen also says don’t seek, because then you won’t find. This is why Zen is called “the path of paradox.” Zen: The Path of Paradox explores this paradoxical world, this distinctive approach to life. Through his commentaries, Osho illustrates how the Zen anecdotes are not just ancient stories, but that their message is intensely relevant to our own concerns: corruption in politics, truth and lies, mindfulness, dying gracefully without fear.
