With the touch of a button, the perfect vehicle arrives to whisk you to your dreams, but what do we really know about the driver?

In clear words, Zen Master Zensho W. Kopp shows us in an inspiring way how we can see through the deceptive nature of our concepts so that we rise up above our self-made limitations. Through this we transcend our identification with the unreal and reach the absolute reality of our true self. We experience a liberating transformation to a deeper and all-embracing universal consciousness and thus to freedom of the mind.

In 13 chapters Paul Mullin mixes up a potent cocktail of working, drinking, family and Zen. It all starts - where else? - at the Starting Gate: a shit-kicker country bar in Northern Maryland where the author first started working at the age of 13, and where his boss once shot a man dead for trying to rob the local drug store. Other jobs follow, like when he works as the only white kid on an all-black labor crew at the National Archives, or the years he spends as a high-rise window cleaner in Manhattan.

The art of zen has been becoming increasingly popular over the past decade. While it may have been thought of as "hippie" stuff back in the early 60s and 70s, more and more people have begun to show an interest in the wisdom that Zen Buddhism has to offer.

Your approach to your overall health and wellbeing has been all wrong! Yes, you may consider yourself healthy by virtue that you don't suffer from some diseases like hypertension, diabetes, ulcers, and the likes but this does not mean that you are entirely healthy.

Ian Prattis’ new publication, Sacred Ceremony and Desert Legacy is another riveting medley of poetry and prose, autobiographical essays and a memoir of his mystical journey as a shaman and a Zen teacher. His gentle but powerful activism to save the Earth is the sacred glue fusing together all of the genres featured in this book. Prattis uses the power of the word to remind us to open our hearts and our senses to the natural world, to hear the symphony in the whale song, and marvel at the flight of geese, or to “see spring blossoms cast a rainbow in summer rain.” Prattis’ reflections...

Are You a Seeker of Ultimate Truth?Do you more than anything else want to "attain" Enlightenment? Then this short and powerful book is for you. This is not traditional Zen, mind you, nor is it what loosely can be defined as "entertainment Zen". This is Fundamental Zen. Fundamental Zen This kind of Zen exists for one reason, and one reason only, which is to be a direct path to Enlightenment. This is its one and only goal. There is nothing to know except the ultimate Truth. On this path, anything which isn't pure Truth must be burned away until only Truth is left standing. What You Need to ...

This book discusses the problem everyone faces with depression and how to combat it through the Zen path with wisdom and meditation. It is a matter of being disciplined everyday with training. The Eightfold Path is discussed in this book. It is a list of rights to live by. Also, we discuss how we go for freedom in our lives. It is not by being sloppy, but merely it is a form of action we take where we could live our lives with a degree of focus and then free ourselves of depression.

Author H. Grevemberg, a Senior Dharma Teacher in the Kwan UmSchool of Zen, gives a startling account of the path of Zen in a muscular prose in the tradition of Henry Miller and Hunter S. Thompson. The American spirit of self-reliance goes hand in hand with the mystical tradition of Zen - yet it hasn't found its own bare wire. The best revolution, and the domain of the Zen adept, is an inner one. The Zen Revolution reads like a novel, each compelling chapter revealing another nuance; the whole gamut, from origin to fiery culmination.

A hajdanvolt Gautama Sziddharta hercegtől, Buddhától egyszer valaki megkérdezte: Ki vagy? Isten vagy? Nem. Angyal? Nem. Szent? Nem. Akkor ki vagy? - Ébren vagyok. Buddha neve annyit jelent: ébernek lenni. Az emberiség hét mértékadó szellemi tanítója között azonban ő nem a teória, hanem az életgyakorlat bölcse. Józansága évezredeken világít át, és útján a mai napig milliók követik. Ő az alapállás (Hamvas) mestere. Az alapállás végtelenül egyszerű. Ez csak az első, kiinduló állapot, de "nincs ennél az egyszerűnél semmi nehezebb".

It is filled with quotidian anecdotes that are intended to uplift and entertain the soul.

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.

Eckhart Tolle rappresenta la sintesi perfetta fra millenni di saggezza e il sentire contemporaneo: con una chiarezza e un'efficacia straordinarie, condensa nelle sue pagine gli insegnamenti dei grandi della storia del pensiero, da Buddha a Gesù, ma anche Shakespeare e, perché no, i Rolling Stones. Il suo messaggio è tanto semplice quanto capace di rivoluzioni, interiori ed esteriori. Basta spegnere il rumore di fondo che affolla di pensieri la nostra mente, abbracciare il presente scrollandosi di dosso l'ingombro del nostro ego.
