      The Practice of Being Aware, Right Now, Every Day

      “This is the clearest and most precise exposition of Buddhism I have ever read. If you’re looking for enlightenment rather than just scholarly knowledge, you’d better read this.”—Robert M. Pirsig, author of  Zen and the Art of Motorcycle MaintenanceThis is a book about awareness. It’s about being “awake” and in touch with what is going on here and now. Practical and down-to-earth, it deals exclusively with the present, not with speculation, theory, or belief in some far off time and place. The teachings of the Buddha are plain and straightforward, and because they remain focused on the moment, they are just as relevant now as they have ever been. Buddhism Plain and  The Practice of Being Aware, Right Now, Every Day is the book for anyone wanting to discover, or rediscover, the essence of Buddhism.

      What is Buddhism? Drawing on down-to-earth examples from everyday life, this book penetrates the most essential and enduring questions at the heart of the Buddha's teachings: How can we see the world in each moment, rather than merely as what we think, hope, or fear it is? How can we base our actions on reality? What can it bring to our lives?

      Meditation - Ideal für Anfänger. Der Zen-Lehrer Steve Hagen hat mit diesem Buch eine kurze und trefflich leicht zugängliche Basisanleitung für die Meditation geschrieben: das A und O der Praxis, das herausarbeitet, was Meditation ist und was sie kann. Ein Tipp für jeden, der das »Hier und Jetzt« verstehen will. Ideal für Anfänger und erfrischend für erfahrene Meditierende. Meditation findet nicht nur statt, wenn Sie in einer formellen Meditationshaltung dasitzen. Sie beginnt in dem Augenblick, in dem Sie Ihre Aufmerksamkeit auf das richten, was genau jetzt und hier passiert. Auf diese Art und Weise können wir Gewahrsein in jede unserer Aktivitäten einbringen - ob wir nun arbeiten, mit unseren Kindern spielen, eine Mahlzeit zu uns nehmen, das Geschirr abwaschen oder den Müll hinausbringen. »Wenn es Ihnen gelingt, den Widerstand gegen die Meditation zu überwinden, wird nichts anderes im Leben mehr ein Hindernis für Sie sein«, sagt Steve Hagen.- Meditation ist nichts, was wir unserem Leben hinzufügen, sondern das, was wir zu unserem Leben machen. -
