Zen Philosophy

«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. In città risuonano i clacson delle automobili, le sirene della polizia, in casa lo stereo e il televisore. Siamo circondati da un turbinio di rumori.

Christian Child, Atheist Adult is the autobiographical narrative of a Southern Baptist deacon's son who discovered just how misled he had been during his formative years; ultimately making a transformation into one of Christianity's most staunch critics. Gregory Blount provides accounts of the social and familial tactics often used by many faith-based religions to indoctrinate and entrap members. The book also provides a broad consideration of the scientific, historical, and philosophical answers that led the author to develop his perspective.

Di solito si vive in base a un’immagine di sé che si crea guardando e adeguandosi agli altri, a loro volta cresciuti adattandosi ai propri simili. Tutto ciò genera un mondo di apparenze che ruota intorno a finzioni che rivelano la loro vacuità di fronte a eventi improvvisi che mandano in frantumi ogni cosa. Oggi, in un mondo le cui condizioni continuano a mutare, si è sempre di più spinti a domandarsi quale sia davvero il volto dell’umanità, e quale il proprio vero volto.

禅宗认为，所有的烦恼与冲突都是源于对万物的分别和执著，而事实上万物是统一的、连续的。……禪宗認為，所有的煩惱與衝突都是源於對萬物的分別和執著，而事實上萬物是統一的、連續的。

安岡教学の集大成
ここに極まれり！

人間の意識の深層（無意識層）は永遠につながっている。これは自分および父母・先祖代々の体験と真理の倉庫であり、秘密の蔵である。
このことを近代の医学・心理学がようやく究明するようになってきた。王陽明のいわゆる「良知（りょうち）」というのは、このことをいうのであって、我われが主観を徹底してゆくと（徹底的に思索すると）、良知に到達する。これは言い換えれば大いなる客観（いわば真理）である。だから、我われは主観を徹底すれば大いなる客観に到達する。客観を徹底すれば大いなる主観に到達する。これを王陽明は龍場（りゅうじょう）という僻地に流謫（るたく）された時に初めて把握した。そこで、真剣に学問求道をやれば、誰でもこの主観を通じて大いなる客観に到達する、つまり主客が合一してくる。――これが「到良知（ちりょうち）＜良知を究める＞」というもので、禅とも通ずる、陽明学の一眼目である。

Der bekannte Zen-Meister Thich Nhat Hanh erklärt anhand eines alten buddhistischen Textes, wie Erleuchtung in unserem lauten Alltag verwirklicht werden kann. Viele Menschen glauben, dass Nirvana ein entfernter Ort der Glückseligkeit sei. Doch schon der Buddha lehrte, dass es nur im Hier und Jetzt zu finden ist. Vor diesem Hintergrund erläutert Thich Nhat Hanh in diesem buddhistischen Standardwerk die 36 Verse aus dem "Kapitel über Nirvana" des Chinesischen Dharmapada.

In this inspiring and incisive offering, Barry Magid uses the language of modern psychology and psychotherapy to illuminate one of Buddhism's most powerful and often mysterious technologies: the Zen koan.

芥川賞作家でもある著者の、禅的生活のエッセイ集。独特の視点で語られる「禅の世界」を味わってみませんか?


この本は、臨済宗妙心寺派福聚寺の副住職であり、芥川賞作家でもある玄侑和尚が雑誌・新聞等に掲載した短いエッセイをまとめたものです。

以前訪れた動物園の水槽で、ヌボーッと佇んでいたサンショウウオ。
その何をするでもないが、仄かな明るさを纏った彼(彼女?)の姿と、
「八風吹けど動ぜず」という禅の言葉が、和尚の中でリンクしたのです。
それ以来、和尚の中にはある種憧れのようなサンショウウオが一匹住み始めました。

もうひとつ禅の言葉で、「放下(ほうげ)」というものがあります。
一瞬ごとに「今」という一瞬が死に、新しく次の「今」という一瞬がやってくる。
悲しみや怒りの時間を捨て、新たに展開した笑顔の時間を人は生きるのです。

和尚は、「新しい一瞬一瞬を重ね塗りせず生きていくから、
いつまでたってもその色合いは鮮やかであり、明るい」と説きます。

自分だけのサンショウウオを飼いながら、人生をゆらり、どっしり、たまにはテキパキと、鼻歌でも歌いながら明るい人生を過ごしましょう。

”誤解を怖れずにいいましょう。じつは禅僧はみな「図太い」のです。”

Evolving Dharma is the definitive guide to the meditation revolution.

Michaelson introduces us to maverick brain hackers, postmodern Buddhist monks, and cutting-edge neuroscientists and shares his own stories of months-long silent retreats, powerful mystical experiences, and many pitfalls along the way.

Is meditation an escape from - or a solution to - our psychological problems? Is the use of antidepressants counter to spiritual practice? Does a psychological approach to meditation reduce spirituality to "self-help"? What can Zen and psychoanalysis teach us about the problems of the mind and suffering?
