Ob dies ein glücklicher Moment ist, hängt nicht vom Moment ab, sondern von unserer Sichtweise«, sagt Thich Nhat Hanh.

There are even some pretty good ghost stories.

It is designed for anyone who is new to Zen, as well as those who have been practicing for some time.

Una dintre învățăturile lui Thich Nhat Hanh este că fiecare om trăiește într-o continuă legătură cu cei din jurul său, dar și cu natura. Nu putem exista în afara lumii care ne înconjoară, ci doar prin raportare la aceasta. Viața maestrului este dovada cea mai puternică a acestei concepții, pentru că întreaga sa gândire și activitate, care a schimbat percepția asupra spiritualității tradiționale, s-a dezvoltat în relație cu numeroși factori sociali și politici, dar și cu personalități remarcabile.

«Apriamo gli occhi al suono della sveglia, ascoltiamo musica in macchina o sui mezzi pubblici, mentre dal taschino o dalla borsa esce spesso il suono del cellulare.

Jesus Christ was a Zen master? In at least one version of early Christian belief, he sure sounded like one. The Jesus narrative that eventually won out was passed on to future generations while the losers had their books burned and adherents imprisoned, tortured, or put to death. Talk about issues with freedom of religion! Luckily, an early Christian group called the “Gnostics”, in seeing their beloved books burned and adherents mistreated, buried their most important works in hopes of future discovery.

One of the earliest of all Buddhist texts, the Atthakavagga, or Book of Eights, is a remarkable document, not only because it comes from the earliest strain of the literature - before the Buddha, as the title suggests, came to be thought of as a "Buddhist" - but also because its approach to awakening is so simple and free of adherence to any kind of ideology. Instead the Atthakavagga points to a direct and simple approach for attaining peace without requiring the adherence to doctrine.

The Victorian Plague is a satire on self-awareness, religion and philosophy. The title is an allegory to what eastern theology dubs the ego, its effect on the conditioning of the modern primate and civilization as it currently stands. It is the author's unfiltered zeitgeist and theory of reality. The author presents a deconstruction of our modern-day perception of what reality is, what it means to be alive and presents some subjective theories of the historical influences that led us to arriving at the awareness that we currently rest at.
