The Dalai Lama Volgorde van de boeken (chronologisch)

His Holiness the Dalai Lama presents the perfect introduction to traditional Tibetan Buddhist thought and practice, covering the Four Noble Truths and two essential texts. There is no one more suited to introduce beginners—and remind seasoned practitioners—of the fundamentals of Tibetan Buddhism than His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Speaking to an audience of Western students, the Dalai Lama shows us how to apply basic Buddhist principles to our day-to-day lives. Starting with the very foundation of Buddhism, the Four Noble Truths, he provides the framework for understanding the Buddha’s first teachings on suffering, happiness, and peace. He follows with commentary on two of Buddhism’s most profound texts: The Eight Verses on Training the Mind and Atisha’s Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment, often referring to the former as one of his main sources of inspiration for the practice of compassion. With clear, accessible language and the familiar sense of humor that infuses nearly all of his work, the Dalai Lama invites us all to develop innermost awareness, a proper understanding of the nature of reality, and heartfelt compassion for all beings. This book was previously published under the title Lighting the Way.

The Dalai Lama reveals how training the mind in compassion for other beings is directly related to—and a prerequisite for—the very pinnacle of Buddhist meditation The heart of meditation—the thing that brings it alive—is compassion. This is not an ordinary compassion but one that is developed and expanded in parallel with wisdom that arises through meditation. Without that essential foundation, other practices are pointless. Fortunately, the mind can be trained in compassion, and the mind thus trained is fertile ground for the practice of the Great Completeness (Dzogchen), which is considered the pinnacle of spiritual practice by many in Tibetan Buddhism. In this book, His Holiness the Dalai Lama teaches the Great Completeness simply but thoroughly, using as his reference a visionary poem by the nineteenth-century master Patrul Rinpoche to show that insight can never be separated from compassion. Through practice of the Great Completeness, we can access our innermost awareness and live our lives in a way that acknowledges it and manifests it. The wisdom and compassion that arise from such insight are critical, His Holiness teaches, not only to individual progress in meditation but to our collective progress toward peace in the world.

„Scopul vieţii noastre este căutarea fericirii“, spunea Sanctitatea Sa Dalai Lama. Dar cum putem ajunge la o viaţă împlinită într-o lume dominată de suferinţă, violenţă, rasism, naţionalism, prejudecăţi, singurătate? Arta de a fi fericit într-o lume zbuciumată încearcă să găsească soluţii la această dilemă, împletind preceptele filozofiei budiste cu psihologia şi psihiatria modernă. În întâlnirile dintre dr Howard Cutler şi Dalai Lama, tonul e mereu pozitiv, proaspăt şi plin de speranţă: orice greutate poate fi depăşită dacă abordăm lucrurile dintr-o perspectivă optimistă, dar realistă. Prin empatie, solidaritate, restabilirea legăturilor cu semenii noştri şi înţelegerea valorilor comunităţii, ne regăsim pe noi înşine şi suntem fericiţi. „Dalai Lama discută diverse strategii pentru a învinge prejudecăţile şi convingerile stereotipe; ele includ contactul personal, educaţia şi perceperea celorlalţi ca indivizi... Sanctitatea Sa consideră că violenţa este înrădăcinată în emoţiile umane şi modurile de a gândi, şi socoteşte că frica reprezintă una dintre forţele care distrug cel mai mult fericirea umană... Dalai Lama ne indică paşii care trebuie urmaţi pentru a rezolva aceste probleme, cum ar fi încercarea de a-ţi împărtăşi temerile cu ceilalţi, anumite tehnici cognitive şi recursul la credinţă.“ ( Spirituality & Practice )

In 1975, Indonesia illegally invaded East Timor, until then a Portuguese colony. Since then, an estimated 200,000 people, nearly one-third of the territory's original population, have perished from war, famine, and killings. Now, after the fall of Indonesia's longtime strongman, General Suharto, East Timor is in the public eye and seems on the verge of winning independence. No one has been more crucial to this development than Bishop Belo, the first Catholic bishop ever to win the Nobel Peace Prize. In From the Place of the Dead, journalist Arnold Kohen has written the first full-length biography of Bishop Belo. Kohen, who has had unparalleled access to Bishop Belo for the past five years, provides not only a penetrating portrait of the Timorese prelate, but also the definitive account of a tortured country and the politics in which it is embroiled.
