      • 272 pages
      • 10 hours of reading

      This book presents a clear and straightforward road map to how we might end our experience of suffering and discover happiness, drawn by the most celebrated spiritual master of Tibetan Buddhism: His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. In this insightful volume, not only does His Holiness describe what religion can contribute to mankind, but he also accentuates the significance of truly practising religion and understanding what it is that mankind really needs. Familiar for his ever-smiling face and his message of love, compassion and peace, he explains the three turnings of the wheel of dharma; the purpose and the means of generating the mind of enlightenment; and, the twelve links of dependent arising, among other things. This new title offers an easily accessible and illuminating glimpse into the core of Tibetan Buddhism.

Buddhist astrology bridges familiar astrological thinking with the ideas of karma, interdependence, and impermanence. What if we consciously choose the compassionate way as we traverse those high peaks of a Pluto transit or climb to the summit of a Saturn cycle? Does such a response set up an array of rippling effects?While Buddhism is theologically and metaphysically compelling, it is also very practical. Within its tenets every psychological state is embraced, integrated, and brought to light. It is spirit-medicine for modern astrology.Selling Features•The author Jhampa Shaneman combines hisdepth of experience in Tibetan Buddhism with contemporary Western astrologer Jan V.

      Nearly every time you see him, he's laughing, or at least smiling. And he makes everyone else around him feel like smiling. He's the Dalai Lama, the spiritual and temporal leader of Tibet, a Nobel Prize winner, and an increasingly popular speaker and statesman. What's more, he'll tell you that happiness is the purpose of life, and that "the very motion of our life is towards happiness." How to get there has always been the question. He's tried to answer it before, but he's never had the help of a psychiatrist to get the message across in a context we can easily understand. Through conversations, stories, and meditations, the Dalai Lama shows us how to defeat day-to-day anxiety, insecurity, anger, and discouragement. Together with Dr. Cutler, he explores many facets of everyday life, including relationships, loss, and the pursuit of wealth, to illustrate how to ride through life's obstacles on a deep and abiding source of inner peace.

      Guérir la violence

      Un enseignement universel pour parvenir à la sagesse et à la plénitude intérieure

      • 254 pages
      • 9 hours of reading

      Dans cet ouvrage, issu d'un séminaire sur la patience, Sa Sainteté le Dalaï-Lama enseigne à chacun comment dominer son indignation, sa rage devant l'injustice ou l'insulte, pour acquérir la sérénité. Si la philosophie bouddhiste demeure ici sous-jacente, ce livre s'adresse à tous les hommes de bonne volonté auxquels il donne les moyens de maîtriser l'ego si prompt à s'enflammer. Détecter le mal, en comprendre les racines, les effets, les cycles, les désamorcer, reconnaître ses propres symptômes, permet de dégager les voies qui conduisent à l'équilibre.
