“Among Buddhist leaders influential in the West, Thich Nhat Hanh ranks second only to the Dalai Lama.” —New York Times “Thich Nhat Hanh is a holy man…. His ideas for peace, if applied, would build a monument to ecumenism, to world brotherhood, to humanity.” —Martin Luther King, Jr...

Award-winning author and mindfulness meditation teacher Joseph Emet now takes you down a step-by-step path to integrate this potent form of meditation into your daily life.

Lifelong meditation teacher Eric Harrison intimately understands the benefits of mindfulness, from improved focus and better judgment to relaxation and inner peace. He’s helped 10s of thousands of students to achieve these goals by rooting his practice in the Buddha’s original text on how to meditate and live mindfully: The Satipatthana Sutta. Brain Training with the Buddha offers a secular perspective on this ancient wisdom that requires no familiarity with Buddhism itself - only openness to the Buddha’s original teachings.

There's a lot you probably don't know about the Buddha. For one, the real Buddha was thin. And before he became the "Enlightened One", he was a pampered prince named Siddhartha. He tried starving himself in his quest for inner peace, but found that extremes brought him no closer to enlightenment. Instead, he sought a "middle way" between unhealthy overindulgence and unrealistic abstinence. The instructions he gave his monks about eating, more than 2,500 years ago, were surprisingly simple.

We are all looking for greater meaning and wisdom in our lives. The problem is that we search for these things outside ourselves. The most profound teachings of the Buddha say that the wisdom we search for does not come from outside. It is already within us; it is our very nature. The spiritual path is simply a way of helping us uncover and manifest the wisdom we already have. Discovering our innate wisdom means learning to trust and rely not only on our intellect, but also on our intuition.

This is Olcott's biographic account of the Buddha, frequently called Siddhartha, combining experience and wisdom while introducing his life to a Western audience. While brief, Olcott's examination of the holy prophet's life is as vivid and fresh today as it was when it was published. Who was the Buddha, what were his lessons to man, and what is Buddhism?

Buddha and Einstein Walk into a Bar explores the revolutionary idea that sensing how long we can live is a latent capacity in us, currently unknown - just like the introduction of fire, the invention of flying, and the discovery of radio waves were before we “discovered” them. Understand how the knowledge of transcendence, consciousness, and self-healing are integral to your well-being.You could drive a car without a fuel gauge, but knowing how much gas you have clearly gives you more control of your vehicle.

Meditation und Achtsamkeit sind so populär wie nie zuvor. Und das aus gutem Grund – versprechen sie doch effektive Hilfe, um die Herausforderungen des modernen Lebens souverän und gelassen zu meistern.

No, it is not all in your head: life is stressful, and some lives more so than others. Yet people react to the same situations differently, and recognizing the difference between what we can control and what we can’t is crucial for stress management - and it is an awakening in and of itself.

Meditação é sentar-se sem fazer nada. Se você começar a fazer alguma coisa, estará movendo-se para fora de seu centro. Quando não estiver fazendo absolutamente nada, seja física ou mentalmente, quando você estiver apenas sendo, isto é meditação. Não é possível fazê-la, não é possível praticá-la. É preciso apenas compreendê-la.

Chiunque può realizzarlo, senza essere buddhista né fare pellegrinaggi in Oriente.
