Sfera wyznaniowa, narodowościowa, etniczna czy związana z językiem regionalnym stanowią istotny składnik tożsamości w wymiarze zarówno indywidualnym, jak i zbiorowym. Jednym z przejawów wolności odzyskanej przez Polskę w 1989 roku stała się swoboda stowarzyszeń oraz poszanowanie tożsamości wyznaniowej i narodowościowej lub etnicznej. Polska, mimo iż jest krajem bardziej jednorodnym niż większość innych krajów europejskich, jest wspólnym domem także dla osób zakorzenionych w kulturze mniejszości narodowych, etnicznych czy korzystających z języka regionalnego.

  • Buddhism in America
    Buddhism in America The Columbia Contemporary American Religion Series Columbia Contemporary American Religion Series The United States is the birthplace of religious pluralism, and the spiritual landscape of contemporary America is as varied and complex as that of any country in the world. The books in this new series, written by leading scholars for students and general readers alike, fall into two categories: some of these well-crafted, thought-provoking portraits of the country’s major religious groups describe and explain particular religious practices and rituals, beliefs, and major challenges facing a given community today. Others explore current themes and topics in American religion that cut across denominational lines. The texts are supplemented with care- fully selected photographs and artwork, annotated bibliographies, con- cise profiles of important individuals, and chronologies of major events. — Roman Catholicism in America Islam in America .

(2010), Fully Present, DaCapo Press, Philadelphia, PA. All additional readings/handouts are posted under “readings” on Blackboard. Overview: This course examines the interface between meditation and psychological research. The focus will be on mindfulness meditation, the type of meditation practice that is of most research and theoretical interest. The course is divided into three sections that address three general questions: 1. What are contemplative practices and mindfulness meditation in particular? 2. What are the psychological and neuropsychological underpinnings of mindfulness meditation? 3. What are the practical benefits of mindfulness meditation in clinical settings, education, athletics and for personal wellbeing? During the semester, I or a guest speaker will present material in a lecture/demonstration/discussion format during the first part of each class. The second part will usually be student-led discussions of questions/case studies related to that lecture or a recent one. The questions/case studies will be prepared by class members and distributed before they are discussed. Class Participation: Your class participation grade has three parts: attendance, contribution to teacher-led and student-led discussions, and completion of homework and online assignments on time. If you do three, you will receive full “participation” credit. Full participation credit can have the effect of increasing your grade by one-half point (e.g., C+ to B-). Student Discussion Groups: The class roster will be divided into 19 groups of 3 students each.

  • Teaching Letters of Zen Master Seung Sahn • Page 274 © 2008 Kwan Um School of Zen •
    201 The following kong-an is number nine from the Blue Cliff Records: When you have a clear mirror, the beautiful and the ugly reveal themselves. When you hold the legendary sword, you can kill or grant life, as the moment dictates. Chinese come, foreigners go: foreigners come, Chinese go. In death there is already life: in life there is already death. Now tell me, what can you do? Unless your eye can penetrate all barriers and your body is free to make any turn, you can’t do a thing. But what is this eye that can penetrate all barriers? What is this body that is free to make any turn? Read this kong-an and see: A monk asked Jo-ju, “What is Jo-ju?” Jo Ju answered, “ East Gate, West Gate, South Gate, North Gate.” Strange language. We usually think that when a man dies he is dead, and when he lives he is alive. But in this language, life is death, death is life. Where does life come from? Where does death go? Life and death are only thinking. You must go beyond life and death. That is infinite life. It is “like this.” “Like this” is Jo-Ju’s original face. Mountains are mountains, rivers are rivers: yellow is yellow, red is red. Jo-Ju’s teacher, Nam Chan, said that everyday mind is the Way. Everyday mind is the mind that cuts off all thinking. It is the same as a mirror: when the beautiful comes, it is beautiful: When the ugly comes, it is ugly.

I'm not able to stay in the present. I keep going back to fearing the future, and then I get so rattled, and it’s like a roller coaster...how do I get a new career at 57? Should I just sit and not be attached to that frenetic mind, and then let the universe come to me and guide me in a new direction? ZMBY: It's a really good question. We're all struggling with different aspects of heightened fears, heightened emotions, challenges with unemployment, fear of sickness. When the Buddha left the palace, he noticed birth, sickness, old age, and death. Before he left the palace he Zen Master Bon Yeon (Jane Dobisz) on Zoom had been shielded from those things, and when he saw those four things, he saw that suffering was comes in, where I found it to be most useful and inherent in our life, and so he set about on his constructive, is coming back to the present moment: path and the dharma was born, or his version of What is this? So when you're feeling anything, the dharma was born, and is helping us now. And whether it's fear of change, fear of job loss, fear of so in a way, the situation that we’re in is not getting sick, fear of losing someone who could be really different from what we're always faced getting sick, we come back to what is true.
