Buddha Shakyamuni once was asked by experienced practitioners of another spiritual tradition: Exactly how do physical, verbal and mental actions performed in this life lead to consequences experienced in future lives? How is it possible to see things as they really are? In the Mahayana sutra"Resting in Awareness", the Buddha answered those questions with a set of meditations. The practice of awareness which he taught in this discourse is the direct path to awakening and the realization of absolute bodhicitta. This method consists of alternating between analyzing and resting and is the vajra meditation of Mahamudra. This book is intended for advanced practitioners who wish to engage on their own in this practice of calm abiding combined with insight meditation. Volume 1 (ISBN 9783734765742) includes: - An introduction to the Awareness Sutra, its Tibetan translation, and the commentaries written by the Third Karmapa Rangjung Dorje and Sherab Rinchen; - 23 step-by-step lessons with advice from those two Kagyü masters; - 70 exercises paraphrased from the sutra, supplemented by meditation instructions from contemporary teachers of the Karma Kagyü lineage; - An overview of the understanding of the practice of awareness according to different Buddhist schools.

Mahamudra and Satipatthana. Meditations
Ruhen in Gewahrsein
Meditationen aus dem Mahāyāna-Sūtra »Ruhen im Gewahrsein der wahren Natur des Seins« Saddharmasmrtyupasthānasūtra
Die Wiederherstellung, Erhaltung und Förderung von Gesundheit ist eine wesentliche Aufgabe professioneller Pflege. Aber wie gehen Pflegende mit ihrer eigenen Gesundheit um? Verhalten sie sich aufgrund ihrer beruflichen Erfahrungen gesundheitsbewusst oder wenden sie Maßnahmen zur Gesundheitsförderung zwar bei den Pflegeempfängern/innen an, aber nicht bei sich selbst? Die Autorin beschreibt die Ergebnisse einer Fallstudie, welche die Auswirkungen der Beschäftigung im Pflegeberuf auf das persönliche Gesundheitsbewusstsein und Gesundheitsverhalten untersuchte. Abschließend liefert sie Ideen für die Integration gesundheitsförderlicher Maßnahmen in die Pflegeaus- und Weiterbildung und gibt Anregungen für die Gestaltung eines gesundheitsförderlichen Arbeitsplatzes im Handlungsfeld Pflege. Das Buch richtet sich gleichermaßen an Interessierte aus Pflegepraxis, Pflegepädagogik sowie Pflegemanagement und bietet insbesondere Studierenden einen Einblick in den Aufbau und die Durchführung einer pflege- bzw. gesundheitswissenschaftlichen Studie.
