Buddhism Is Not What You Think: Finding Freedom Beyond Beliefs
by Steve HagenA practical, straight-forward guide to the true purpose of Buddhism, examining the essential & enduring questions at the heart of the Buddha’s teachings.Bestselling author and renowned Zen teacher Steve Hagen penetrates the most essential and enduring questions at the heart of the Buddha’s teachings: How can we see the world in each moment, rather than merely as what we think, hope, or fear it is? How can we base our actions on reality, rather than on the longing and loathing of our hearts and minds? How can we live lives that are wise, compassionate, and in tune with reality? And how can we separate the wisdom of Buddhism from the cultural trappings and misconceptions that have come to be associated with it?Drawing on down-to-earth examples from everyday life and stories from Buddhist teachers past and present, Hagen tackles these fundamental inquiries with his trademark lucid, straightforward prose. The newcomer to Buddhism will be inspired by this accessible and provocative introduction, and those more familiar with Buddhism will welcome this much needed hands-on guide to understanding what it truly means to be awake. By being challenged to question what we take for granted. We come to see the world as it truly is. Buddhism Is Not What You Think offers a profound and clear path to joy and freedom.Praise for Buddhism Is Not What You Think “Hagen’s writing flows in a tranquil way, like a spring trickling up effortlessly from the earth. One tends to stop judging it and just appreciate it for its own sake. Since this appreciation is his advice for dealing with everything, the sentences themselves actually create what they are describing.” —Robert M. Pirsig, author of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance“This is not just another nice book about Buddhism, one telling us what we like to hear and are used to hearing. No—it is a clear and challenging showing of the fundamental truth of our lives. This is an exceptional book. Make good use of it.” —Charlotte Joko Beck, author of Everyday Zen
Buddhism Plain and Simple

Buddhism Through the Eyes of a Physicist
by Sergey AlexandrovThis book presents a view of Buddhism from the perspective of a theoretical physicist. It helps the reader comprehend deep Buddhist ideas by bringing them closer to a more familiar context. Concentrating on teachings of Mahayana school represented by Tibetan Buddhism, their structure and main ideas are compared with the structure of scientific theory and the modern understanding of the laws of the Universe. It particularly explains in simple terms how attempts to construct a theory of quantum gravity have led to discoveries, not yet covered in the popular science literature, which drastically change our ideas about the nature of matter, space and time, and why the resulting picture of the world nicely agrees with the Buddhist doctrine of emptiness. The book also addresses several misinterpretations and misconceptions appearing from time to time in the literature and private discussions.The volume will be of great interest to general readers as well as scholars and researchers of religion and science and technology studies.

Each story, inspirational quote and teaching offers mindfulness-enhancing techniques that anyone can relate to. You don’t need to be a Buddhist to find this book motivational.

Buddhist Psychology
by Caroline BrazierWestern therapeutic approaches have often put considerable emphasis on building self-esteem and enhancing a positive sense of self. This book challenges the assumption behind this approach. Most of us protect ourselves against being fully alive. Because we fear loss and pain, we escape by withdrawing from experiences and distracting ourselves with amusements. We fall into habitual ways of acting and limit our experience to the familiar. We create an identity which we think of as a 'self', and in so doing imprison our life-energy.For 2500 years Buddhism has developed an understanding of the way that we can easily fall into a deluded view. It has shown how the mind clings to false perceptions and tries to create permanence out of an ever changing world. Written by a practising therapist and committed Buddhist, this book explores the practical relevance of Buddhist teachings on psychology to our everyday experience. By letting go of our attachment to self, we open ourselves to full engagement with life and with others. We step out of our self-made prison.

Budismo: Estrategias Probadas Y Pasos Para Tu Mente De Por Vida
by Chaya SullivanTan solo la idea de que las enseñanzas pueden ser dominadas generará controversia en los círculos budistas. Aún así, Ingram insiste en que la iluminación es una meta alcanzable, una vez que nuestras elaboradas nociones de esta son desechadas, y que hayamos aprendido a usar la meditación como método para examinar la realidad y no como una oportunidad para regodearnos en una cacofonía mental narcisista. Ingram expone claramente la diferencia entre la meditación basada en la concentración y la meditación introspectiva (vipassana); y da ejemplos de las prácticas. Lo cierto es que todo el mundo enfrenta problemas como estrés, ansiedad, y tristeza a través de la vida. Cuando hacemos planes y no funcionan a nuestro favor, tendemos a frustrarnos o deprimirnos. Desafortunadamente, algunos nos sentimos perdidos incluso cuando nuestros planos sí funcionan. El enriquecimiento material no ha podido brindarnos felicidad duradera. Así que, ¿qué podemos hacer para enfrentar exitosamente este conflicto interno? Esto es exactamente lo que Buda preguntó hace años, y sus descubrimientos han sido transmitidos por generaciones en forma del budismo ¿Qué esperas? ¡No esperes más! ¡Haz clic en el botón de comprar ahora para comenzar el viaje hacia la vida de tus sueños!

Budismo: una guía completa para comprender y vivir un budista para practicar
by Zeus BouclyEl camino del Buddha no es para todos. Requiere disciplina, paciencia, trabajo duro y mucha meditación. La iluminación parece una tarea imposible viviendo en nuestro mundo moderno con nuestras vidas apresuradas y bulliciosas, pero eso no es más que una lógica mental que puedes romper.

Con este libro tendrás una introducción paso a paso sobre los principios fundamentales de esta religión. Tan sólo cuando realices, por ti mismo, que no hay nada que hagas que esté libre de impureza y sufrimiento y que hay una salida a todo eso, puede que te motives lo suficiente como para obtener esa libertad, y la meditación es el camino para neutralizar el origen de todo el problema; la concepción equivocada del yo y lo demás.
