Consisting of fewer than 200 verses written in an obscure if not impenetrable language and style, Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra is today extolled by the yoga establishment as a perennial classic and guide to yoga practice. As David Gordon White demonstrates in this groundbreaking study, both of these assumptions are incorrect. Virtually forgotten in India for hundreds of years and maligned when it was first discovered in the West, the Yoga Sutra has been elevated to its present iconic status.

In little time, Loy has become one of the most powerful advocates of the Buddhist worldview, explaining like no one else its ability to transform the sociopolitical landscape of the modern world. In this, his most accessible work to date, he offers sharp and even shockingly clear presentations of oft-misunderstood Buddhist staples - the working of karma, the nature of self, the causes of trouble on both the individual and societal levels - and the real reasons behind our collective sense of "never enough", whether it's time, money, sex, security...even war.

El audiolibro de la perfecta vacuidad, conocido en China como Lie zi (nombre del legendario maestro a quien se atribuye), es uno de los tres clásicos del taoísmo filosófico, junto al Libro del Tao o Tao te king y al Zhuang zi.

In Being Different: An Indian Challenge to Western Universalism, thinker and philosopher Rajiv Malhotra addresses the challenge of a direct and honest engagement on differences by reversing the gaze, repositioning India from being the observed to the observer and looking at the West from the dharmic point of view. In doing so, he challenges many hitherto unexamined beliefs that both sides hold about themselves and each other.

The goals of the budo - the martial arts and ways of Japan - lie in refining the body and spirit. These goals are not always the obvious ones - and are learned only through the guidance and direction of great teachers. The techniques, methods, and rituals of the sensei can serve as guides to a well-lived life - and provide invaluable lessons for today's martial artists.

In Meri Gita, acclaimed mythologist Devdutt Pattanaik demystifies The Bhagavad Gita for the contemporary listener. His unique approach - thematic rather than verse-by-verse - makes the ancient treatise eminently accessible.In a world that seems spellbound by argument over dialogue, vi-vaad over sam-vaad, Devdutt highlights how Krishna nudges Arjuna to understand rather than judge his relationships. This becomes relevant today when we are increasingly indulging and isolating the self.

Kahlil Gibran, author of The Prophet, is known throughout the world as the immortal Prophet of Lebanon and the Savant of his Age. A Treasury of Kahlil Gibran, which sold over a hundred thousand copies, led to a wide demand for a sequel volume. The demand has been met in A Second Treasury of Kahlil Gibran. In this magnificent volume Gibran's writing in his beloved mother tongue, Arabic, have been translated superbly into English by his great friend, Anthony Rizeallah Ferris.

Approximately four million Americans claim to be Buddhist. Moreover, hundreds of thousands of Americans of various faiths read about Buddhism, are interested in its philosophical tenets, or fashionably view themselves as Buddhists. They’re part of what’s been described as the fastest growing religious movement in America: a large group of people dissatisfied with traditional religious offerings and thirsty for an approach to spirituality grounded in logic and consistent with scientific knowledge.

生活や仕事上の逆境に立ったとき、自分が揺るがないように心の置き場所がつくられている。二千五百年の知恵という宝刀が手に入ることは心強い。

There have been a lot of books that have made the case for Buddhism. What makes this book fresh and exciting is Asma's iconoclasm, irreverence, and hardheaded approach to the subject. He is distressed that much of what passes for Buddhism is really little more than "New Age mush." He loudly asserts that it is time to "take the California out of Buddhism." And he presents a spiritual practice that does not require a belief in creeds or dogma.

Rien ne sert d'attendre pour être libre. Ne remettez pas votre bonheur au lendemain. Tel est le credo de Jack Kornfield, grand maître occidental du bouddhisme qui, depuis quarante ans, enseigne la pleine présence et la compassion à des milliers de personnes en quête de bien-être et de spiritualité. Mais comment continuer à croire au bonheur quand le deuil ou la maladie nous frappent, quand on perd son travail, quand le simple fait de vivre nous paraît insurmontable ? Pourtant, quelle que soit notre situation, le bonheur est à notre portée, ici et maintenant.

Why do we worry without cause? Why do we fear without reason? This book is a collection of 365 verses of unadulterated wisdom, providing answers to all our confusions. In the battleground of our life, no one day is the same as the other, each comes with its own set of challenges. We can never be prepared enough to handle all that life throws our way. It would not be unusual for us to feel discouraged, or even panic, just like the Pandava prince Arjun lost his nerve just before the start of the battle of Mahabharata.

一度酔えば即ち政治を論じ哲学を論じて止まるところを知らぬ南海先生のもとに，ある日洋学紳士，豪傑君という二人の客が訪れた．次第に酔を発した三人は，談論風発，大いに天下の趨勢を論じる．

L'insegnamento classico del Dalai Lama, quello che viene dalla sua natura originaria di "semplice monaco", è la gentilezza. Tutti vogliamo che ci venga usata, ma quando siamo noi, in prima persona, a compiere un atto gentile, in quel momento di grazia sperimentiamo la massima soddisfazione, ci eleviamo al di sopra di qualsiasi malumore o stress. Non solo: generiamo una catena di effetti positivi su di noi e sulle persone che amiamo dell'amore più autentico.

Achtsamkeit und Nachhaltigkeit sind zu Modebegriffen geworden. Sie sind aber ebenso zentrale Pfeiler der aktuellen Suffizienz-Bewegung und der jahrtausendealten Lehre des Buddha. Mit Niko Paech und Manfred Folkers loten zwei Experten aus, welche Potenziale die beiden Denkrichtungen mitbringen, um unseren zerstörerischen Wachstumspfad zu verlassen. Über eine provokante Abrechnung mit den Wachstumstreibern kapitalistischen Wirtschaftens und das Besinnen auf die Tugenden eines konsumbefreiten Lebens entwickeln sie eine "Kultur des Genug".

"Grazie per aver aperto questo libro. Che c'è dentro? Non lo saprete mai, se non lo leggete. Ma vi daremo qualche piccola indicazione. Giusto per disorientarvi un po'. Se non siete disposti a deragliare di un millimetro dalle vostre rassicuranti abitudini, dal primo caffè mattutino all'ultimo film prima di andare a letto, questo libro non vi serve.
