Long regarded as one of the best introductions to Buddhism, What the Buddha Taught draws on the actual words spoken by the Buddha to give a lucid and accurate account of the fundamental principles of Buddhist doctrine.

Sind wir in jedem Augenblick wach und gegenwärtig, dann leben wir unser Leben und verträumen und verschwenden es nicht. Wir sind offen für die Wunder der Wirklichkeit, die sich uns beim Abwasch oder Hausputz ebenso offenbaren können wie bei einem Waldspaziergang am frühen Morgen. Durch das Wunder der Achtsamkeit können wir erfahren, dass unser Leben etwas ungemein Kostbares ist. Die Yogalehrerin Angelika Atzorn und der Schauspieler Robert Atzorn, seit langem Anhänger von Thich Nhat Hanh, lesen dieses Standardwerk für alle, die ihr alltägliches Leben bewusster und achtsamer gestalten wollen.

Seien wir ehrlich, das Leben besteht aus einer langen Reihe von Aufgaben. Wir brauchen einen Plan, um sie zu erledigen. Wir brauchen ein Rezept für Erfolg. Sicher: Wir reden hier über finanziellen Erfolg! Aber gleichzeitig wollen wir nicht nur Geld verdienen und uns daran erfreuen. Wir wollen auch als Mensch erfolgreich sein: Wir wollen ein sinnhaftes, bereicherndes Leben führen, aus ganzem Herzen glücklich, körperlich und geistig gesund sein, einen großartigen Partner haben und am Ende unseres Lebens sagen können: Das war es wirklich wert!

The time has come, he feels, to articulate a coherent, ethical, contemplative, and philosophical vision of Buddhism for our age.

It is said that the practice of dream yoga deepens our awareness during all our experience: the dreams of the night; the dream-like experience of the day; and the bardo experiences after death. Indeed, the practice of dream yoga is a powerful tool of awakening, used for hundreds of years by the great masters of the Tibetan traditions. Unlike in the Western psychological approach to dreams, the ultimate goal of Tibetan dream yoga is the recognition of the nature of mind or enlightenment itself.

In seinem beeindruckenden Werk macht der bekannte buddhistische Weisheitslehrer Matthieu Ricard deutlich, wie jeder von uns die Fähigkeit entwickeln kann, tiefes Glück zu erfahren. Welche Bedingungen verhindern unser Glücklichsein und welche begünstigen? Wie unterscheidet man zwischen echtem Wohlergehen und oberflächlichen Vergnügungen sowie anderen vermeintlichen Formen von Glück? Ist es überhaupt möglich, die Voraussetzungen für echtes Wohlbefinden zu schaffen? Laut dem Autor ist Glück das Resultat eines Reifungsprozesses, der ganz allein von jedem Menschen selbst abhängt.

He points out that material wellbeing was never the goal of such practices as he begins to explain their true purpose. It is a purpose that His Holiness's Cat goes on to explore with her usual warm-hearted and wonky-legged aplomb. Is the world much more a projection of our mind than we suspect? Can a few precious insights transform our reality?
