From the Heart of Tibet
"The story of Drikung Chetsang Rinpoche’s life," notes the Dalai Lama, "encompasses a remarkably broad range of Tibetan experience over the past fifty years." This is the story of a young boy, born in 1946 to inherit the role of high-ranking lama. When the Chinese army invaded, his family escaped the country, but he and the other monks in his monastery were rounded up by soldiers and sent to an indoctrination school. After surviving almost two decades of the Cultural Revolution in Tibet, during which time lamas and aristocrats were persecuted and jailed, Chetsang Rinpoche walked out of Tibet alone and found his way to Kathmandu, Nepal. Eventually, after living as a refugee and an immigrant, he fully took on leadership of the Drikung lineage by founding the Drikung Kagyu Institute in India. Since then the teachings of this lineage have spread around the world after nearly being lost.

Die Jagd nach der Weltformel
Eine lockere Schülerdebatte über die Frage, ob es irgendetwas absolut Gültiges gebe wie Wissen, Regeln, religiöse oder ideologische Wahrheiten, löst scharfe Reaktionen aus, die in kürzester Zeit eskalieren und Mängel in der schweizerischen Sicherheitsstruktur aufdecken. Ein ausländischer Geheimdienst, eine private Sicherheitsorganisation und die gezielt in der Nahkampftechnik Krav Maga und an verschiedenen Schusswaffen ausgebildete Gymiklasse liefern sich mit iranischen Terroristen auf Schweizer Boden mehrere Gefechte. Die Multikultiklasse trainiert in den kampffreien Zeiten mit Rollenspielen ihren Horizont, ihre Toleranz und ihre Debattierfähigkeiten. Powerfrau Fabienne Bernstein, israelische Kampfpilotin und Pädagogin, zieht zusammen mit ihren Schülern und dem Mossad die Fäden, um die etwas lethargisch gewordene Schweiz ins 21. Jahrhundert der asymmetrischen Kriegsführung zu begleiten.

Argumentreiche Dekonstruktion der Sicherheitshysterie und des Regulierungswahns der Generation Heimleitung, die die Generation Weichei/Opfer grossgehätschelt hat. Letztere trägt lebenslänglich Windeln und den Fahrradhelm auch im Bett. Fintenreiche Verführungsversuche zu Abenteuer, Risiko, Wettbewerb, Eigenverantwortung und Selbstbestimmung. Promovierung des besten und jederzeit zur Verfügung stehenden, sitzenden oder liegenden Lachobjekts: uns selbst.
