    PROGRAMM NOVEMBER 2018 – APRIL 2019 www.kamalashila.de Liebe Freunde, liebe Förderer, liebe „Wir können nicht untätig dasitzen und bloß darauf warten, dass die Zeit unser Leben umkrempelt. Wir müssen in uns selbst hineinschauen und Gäste des Kamalashila Instituts, die Veränderungen finden, die wir sehen wollen. Dann sind wir es, die diese Veränderungen herbeirufen und Verantwortung dafür übernehmen viele von uns empfinden die gegenwärtige Situation in der Welt als müssen, uns zu verwandeln. Was ist es hauptsächlich, was sich ändern eine Zeit, in der Sicherheit gebende Gemeinschaften schwächer muss? Es ist unsere Art zu denken und unsere Motivation. Wenn wir werden, alte Bündnisse auseinanderbrechen und neue Bündnisse beides verändern können, dann werden wir unserem Leben einen großen zunehmend von egoistischen Interessen bestimmt sind. Angesichts Ruck geben können.” der immer schärferen Töne einer immer schneller und aufgeregter S.H. der XVII. Karmapa werdenden Kommunikation erscheint die Praxis respektvoller Ver- ständigung und Diplomatie inzwischen fast schon als unzeitgemäß. Stattdessen werden Konfrontation und Abgrenzung als scheinbar ein- fache Antworten auf immer komplexer werdende Fragen angeboten. Doch etwas hat sich nicht geändert und wird sich wohl nie ändern: Allen Wesen ist gemeinsam, dass sie sich wünschen glücklich zu sein und Leid zu vermeiden. Und: Wir alle sind Teil des Weltgeschehens; wir sind aufgrund des Mechanismus von Ursache und Wirkung un- trennbar mit anderen verbunden. Deshalb brauchen und sollten wir unsere Fähigkeit, den Lauf der Dinge positiv zu beeinflussen, nicht unterschätzen. Der Gedanke des Mitgefühls als buddhistische Grundhaltung be- stimmt seit jeher die Programmgestaltung des Kamalashila Instituts, doch in unsicheren und tumultreichen Zeiten erhält er nochmals eine besondere Dringlichkeit.

  • Just This Is It: Dongshan and the Practice of Suchness / Taigen Dan Leighton
    “What a delight to have this thorough, wise, and deep work on the teaching of Zen Master Dongshan from the pen of Taigen Dan Leighton! As always, he relates his discussion of traditional Zen materials to contemporary social, ecological, and political issues, bringing up, among many others, Jack London, Lewis Carroll, echinoderms, and, of course, his beloved Bob Dylan. This is a must-have book for all serious students of Zen. It is an education in itself.” —Norman Fischer, author of Training in Compassion: Zen Teachings on the Practice of Lojong “A masterful exposition of the life and teachings of Chinese Chan master Dongshan, the ninth century founder of the Caodong school, later transmitted by Dōgen to Japan as the Sōtō sect. Leighton carefully examines in ways that are true to the traditional sources yet have a distinctively contemporary flavor a variety of material attributed to Dongshan. Leighton is masterful in weaving together specific approaches evoked through stories about and sayings by Dongshan to create a powerful and inspiring religious vision that is useful for students and researchers as well as practitioners of Zen. Through his thoughtful reflections, Leighton brings to light the panoramic approach to kōans characteristic of this lineage, including the works of Dōgen. This book also serves as a significant contribution to Dōgen studies, brilliantly explicating his views throughout.” —Steven Heine, author of Did Dōgen Go to China? What He Wrote and When He Wrote It “In his wonderful new book, Just This Is It, Buddhist scholar and teacher Taigen Dan Leighton launches a fresh inquiry into the Zen teachings of Dongshan, drawing new relevance from these ancient tales.

  • Buddhism / Dalai Lama 99
    Buddhism / Dalai Lama 99 Activating Bodhichitta and A Meditation on Compassion His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama Translated by Gonsar Rinpoche The awakening mind is the unsurpassable way to collect merit. To purify obstacles bodhicitta is supreme. For protection from interferences bodhicitta is supreme. It is the unique, all-encompassing method. Every kind of ordinary and supra-mundane power can be accomplished through bodhicitta. Thus, it is absolutely precious. Although compassion is cultivated in one’s own mind, the embodiment of it is the deity known as Avalokiteshvara (Tib. Chan-re- PY: 1979,2006 zig). The various aspects that are visualized in meditation practices and 5.5 X 8.5 represented in images and paintings are merely the interpretative forms of 80 pages Avalokitephvara, whereas the actual definitive form is compassion itself. ` 140 paperback ISBN: 81-86470-52-2 Awakening the Mind, Lightening the Heart His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama Edited by Donald S.Lopez,Jr. Awakening the Mind, Lightening the Heart is His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s gentle and profoundly eloquent instruction for developing the basis of the spiritual path: a compassionate motive. With extraordinary grace and insight, His Holiness shows how the Tibetan Buddist teachings on compassion can be practiced in our daily lives through simple meditations that directly relate to past and present PY: 2008 relationships. 5.5 X 8.5 This illuminating and highly accessible guide offers techniques for 178 pages deepening and heightening compassion in our lives and the world around ` 215 paperback us.

    Das Buch Shunryû Suzuki ist der wohl bedeutendste Zen-Meister der Neuzeit. Sein Wirken hinterließ eine tiefe Erinnerungsspur im Bewußtsein aller Menschen, die eine echte und freie spirituelle Erfahrung suchten. Der »alte Meister« tat seine Botschaft mit unerbittlicher Konsequenz, aber auch mit ergreifender Warmherzigkeit kund. Glanzpunkte spiritueller Inspiration waren seine täglichen Darlegungen der Lehre vor den Schülern. Ganz aus dem Geiste des Zen geboren, ergaben sie sich in der Regel spontan und ohne vorheriges Konzept. In diesem Buch sind sie in ihrer ursprünglichen Form wieder- gegeben. Suzukis kauzige Weisheit, seine verständliche, bisweilen provozierende Art, die Menschen wachzurütteln und auf den Weg der Erleuchtung zu führen, sind einzigartig und unverwechselbar. Der Autor Shunryû Suzuki (1904 bis 1971) wurde in jungen Jahren in seinem Heimatland Japan buddhistischer Mönch, später Tempelpriester. Sein welt- weites Wirken als spiritueller Lehrer begann 1959, als er als Meditations- lehrer nach Amerika ging. In San Francisco gründete er das erste Zen- Zentrum des Westens, später das legendäre Zen-Kloster Tassajara in den kalifornischen Bergen. Der Rôshi (»alte Meister«), wurde zu einem geistigen Mittelpunkt der blühenden kulturellen Szene der 60er-Jahre an der West- küste Amerikas. Zu seinen Schülern und Verehrern gehörten berühmte Künstler und Prominente, vor allem aber auch ungezählte junge Menschen, die sich nach einem Leben sehnten, in dem innere Werte und spirituelle Ziele wieder eine Rolle spielten. Shunryû Suzuki SEID WIE REINE SEIDE UND SCHARFER STAHL Das geistige Vermächtnis des großen Zen-Meisters Herausgegeben von Edward Espe Brown Aus dem Englischen von Stephan Schuhmacher WILHELM HEYNE VERLAG MÜNCHEN Die amerikanische Originalausgabe erschien 2002 unter dem Titel »Not Always So« im Verlag HarperCollins Publishers in New York, USA.

  • King, Country, People and with Shared Values and in Unity, We Shall Move Forward
    We dedicate this Issue to the Tsa -Wa - Sum: King, Country, People and with shared Values And in unity, we shall move forward. Dedication His Majesty the Fourth Druk Gyalpo: A Tribute to the Bodhisattva King His Majesty Jigme Singye Wangchuck is a special person for all of us, we the Bhutanese and Bhutan. He is a hero and model for people within and outside the country. He is an extraordinary person and an incomparable leader who transformed Bhutan within his 34 years of glorious reign. Keeping the welfare of His people above everything, His Majesty the Fourth Druk Gyalpo secured and strengthened the national security, risking his own Royal Life. His Majesty the Fourth Druk Gualpo is a Wish-fulfilling gem, a Dharma Raja, a Bodhisattva, a divine King worthy of worship – a king whose names is sung in songs and chanted in prayers across the country, by young and old alike. But by far most, the institutionalization of Constitutional Democratic Monarchy through a written Constitution was a masterstroke – forever securing the fortune and destiny of Bhutan. As we commemorate 10 years of adoption of the Constitution, we marvel at his vision and ingenuity; and pray for His Majesty’s good health, everlasting peace, happiness and prosperity of the country.
