Joyful Wisdom
In this remarkable sequel to his book, The Joy of Living, Buddhist scholar and teacher Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche explores the role of positive thinking and how to overcome anxiety in everyday life. Joyful Wisdom is divided into three parts, the way traditional Buddhist texts are organized: * Part One offers an overview of the basic unease we feel, how it evolved, its true source. * Part Two describes the methods of meditation that transforms our experiences into deeper insights. *Part Three explores the application of these methods to emotional, physical, and personal problems. Each chapter is underlined by examples drawn from Yongey Mingyur's personal experience, the stories of friends and teachers, and in particular the conversations with people he's met during the 12 years he has spent teaching around the world.
Summary of Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche and Eric Swanson's Joyful Wisdom
Buy now to get the insights from Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche & Eric Swanson's Joyful Wisdom. Sample Insights: 1) One of the central benefits of Buddhist meditation is using alarming and disturbing events and emotions to discover the strength and capability of the mind. Most people live in a state of implicit hopelessness because they disregard the need for reflection on daily events and passively accept their reality. 2) The culture of gaining material wealth leaves little space for the cultivation of inner qualities like compassion and patience. This makes people vulnerable in critical situations. Most people tend to use escapism and fail at finding peace in it. The Buddha, however, teaches to find peace in conditions of turmoil.
Summary of Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche & Helen Tworkov's In Love with the World
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I wanted to go beyond the relative self, which is the self that identifies with these labels. I knew that even though these social categories play a dominant role in our personal stories, they coexist with a larger reality beyond labels. #2 When we add wood to the fire, we deliberately bring difficult situations to the forefront so that we can work with them directly. We take the very behaviors or circumstances that we think of as problems and turn them into allies. #3 When we add wood to the fire, instead of trying to smother the flames of our fears, we add more fuel and gain confidence in our ability to work with any situation. We no longer avoid situations that evoke negative patterns or emotional outbursts. #4 The experience of awareness recognizing itself is called meditative awareness. It is a gradual process that takes place from dualistic to non-dualistic states, from very cluttered minds to minds that are increasingly liberated from habitual reactivity and preconceptions about how things are supposed to be.
Ziji
Ziji is a noisy, bouncy puppy who lives with the Anderson family: Mom, Dad, Jenny, and Baby Jack. He loves to bark and play and--most of all--chase pigeons in the park. Then one day, Ziji sees a new boy from Jenny's school, Nico, sitting in the park. What is Nico doing? Why does he look so calm and happy? Ziji can't wait to find out.
In Love with the World
Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche's experience begins the night he has chosen to embark on a four-year wandering retreat, slipping past the monastery gates. Alone for the first time in his life, he sets out into the unknown. His initial motivation is to step away from his life of privilege and to explore the deepest, most hidden aspects of his being, but what he discovers throughout his retreat - about himself and about the world around us - comes to define his meditation practice and teaching.Just three weeks into his retreat, Rinpoche becomes deathly ill and his journey begins in earnest through this near-death experience. Moving, beautiful and suffused with local colour, Wandering is the story of two different kinds of death: that of the body and that of the ego, and how we can bridge these two experiences to live a better and more fulfilling life. Rinpoche's skilful and intimate account of his search for the self is a demonstration of how we can transform our dread of dying into joyful living.
A Guide to the Bodhisattava's Way of Life
Shantideva’s Bodhisattvacharyavatara (A Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life) holds a unique place in Mahayana Buddhism akin to that of the Dhammapada in Hinayana Buddhism and the Bhagavadgita in Hinduism. In combining those rare qualities of scholastic precision, spiritual depth and poetical beauty, its appeal extends to a wide audience of Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike. Composed in India during the 8th century of the Christian era, it has since been an inspiration to millions of people throughout the world. This present translation by Stephen Batchelor is based upon a 12th century Tibetan commentary as orally explained by Ven. Geshe Ngawang Dhargyey. The ninth chapter on wisdom has been expanded for this edition with relevant commentarial passages.
