Bitwa to jeden z najbardziej emocjonujących tematów, jakich może podjąć się twórca, ale stanowi też nie lada wyzwanie. Niełatwo opisać w sposób angażujący coś tak złożonego, spleść siatkę intryg i powiązań, namalować paletę ludzkich uczuć, opisać sprawę, o którą warto walczyć i stworzyć bohaterów, których losy czytelnicy zechcą śledzić i o których życie będą się lękać. Po której stronie stanie odbiorca? Czy uwierzy w słuszność sprawy? Czy odczuje ciężar decyzji podejmowanych przez postaci? Autorzy tej antologii rzucają nas w wir zdarzeń, w sam środek nieprzeciętnych starć. Obsadzili w głównych rolach fascynujących, wielowymiarowych bohaterów. Stań wraz z nimi w pierwszej linii, przezwycięż słabości i przełam barierę. Przebij się przez mur i dowiedz się, czy za nim czeka nadzieja na zwycięstwo, czy może początek prawdziwego wyzwania. Bo jeden wyłom może zmienić przebieg bitwy. Jeden wyłom może być przepustką do świata, do którego tak pragnęli dotrzeć. A jedna antologia może stać się wyłomem do waszej wyobraźni.

This book presents the Buddhist approach to facing the inevitable facts of growing older, getting sick, and dying. These tough realities are not given much attention by many people until midlife, when they become harder to avoid. Using a Buddhist text known as the Five Subjects for Frequent Recollection, Larry Rosenberg shows how intimacy with the realities of aging can actually be used as a means to liberation. When we become intimate with these inevitable aspects of life, he writes, we also become intimate with ourselves, with others, with the world—indeed with all things.
A “wonderfully accessible” interpretation of the Buddha’s teachings on breathwork in meditation, from a leading insight meditation teacher (Joseph Goldstein, author of The Experience of Insight) Freedom from suffering is not only possible, but the means for achieving it are immediately within our grasp—literally as close to us as our own breath. This is the 2,500-year-old good news contained in the Anapanasati Sutra, the Buddha's own teaching on cultivating both tranquility and deep insight through the full awareness of breathing. In this book, Larry Rosenberg brings this timeless meditation method to modern practitioners, using the insights gained from his many years of practice and teaching. With wisdom, compassion, and humor, he shows how the practice of breath awareness is quietly, profoundly transformative—and supremely practical: if you're breathing, you've already got everything you need to start.
