"... Cominciai a seguire l'insegnamento del Buddha dal momento in cui capii che il vero e proprio non è una religione - una fede in una Divinità e in una relazione con Essa, comunque articolata -, ma un umanesimo e, più concretamente, un sistema etico-psicologico che propone metodi pratici per raggiungere, qui e ora, la piena realizzazione delle proprie potenzialità benefiche. In Occidente, l'insegnamento del Buddha è stato più volte 'interpretato' in senso più o meno teistico: il Buddha come Dio o come sua rappresentazione/manifestazione. Ma quando mi resi conto che il Buddha (il Risvegliato) non pretendeva essere un Dio o un profeta, bensì esempio supremo di ciò che l'essere umano può diventare, mi dissi: “Questo sì che ha un senso: il Risvegliato insegna agli altri, come risvegliarsi". Questo testo vuole contribuire alla comprensione della natura pratica e concreta dell'insegnamento del Buddha, il cui cuore è l'esercizio meditativo. Vi sono delineate le sue caratteristiche essenziali, per offrire al lettore non specializzato un'introduzione generale, che possa incoraggiare a farne esperienza. “Nel 1972 in Sri Lanka (...) ebbi la fortuna di leggere le parole del Buddha: la spiegazione di quello che lui stesso aveva sperimentato, e di come anche altri possano arrivare alla stessa esperienza. E così scoprii la straordinaria semplicità e la profonda concretezza del sentiero di quiete e visione profonda, da lui indicato. Mi dedicai, quindi, allo studio dell'antica lingua pali e dei testi. Nel 1974 feci un corso di meditazione Vipassana con il maestro indo-birmano S.N. Goenka; questa pratica dell'insegnamento del Buddha mi convinse ad accettare la sua validità , come guida di vita, e ad impegnarmi da allora al continuativo esercizio meditativo di Vipassana. Ben sapendo che è una strada lunga, a ogni passo mi appare giusta e benefica."

What do we do when life throws rocks at us? “Instead of trying to discipline your mind with ill will, fault-finding, guilt, punishment, and fear, use something far more powerful: the beautiful kindness, gentleness, and forgiveness of making peace with life.”—Ajahn Brahm “In free fall, nothing is solid and there is nothing to hold on to. There is no way to control the experience. You have to surrender, and with that surrender comes the taste of liberation.”—Master Guojun Most of us tend to live each day as if it will be just another day—like nothing will change. It always comes as a shock when we lose a job, a loved one, a relationship, our health—even though we’ve seen it happen again and again to those around us. Once we finally realize we’re not immune, then we wonder: what now? How do we continue when the terrain suddenly gets rough? Meet your companions for this rocky part of the path: Ajahn Brahm and Chan Master Guojun—one a teacher in the Theravada Buddhist tradition, the other in the Chinese Zen tradition. These two beloved meditation masters share personal stories and anecdotes from their own experiences of dealing with life’s pitfalls. You’ll learn from their honest, generous teachings how you can live fully—even flourish—even when the road ahead looks steep and lonely. Personal, poetic, instructive, and often laugh-out-loud funny, this is inspiring advice for people from all walks of life. “Falling is Flying is truly unique because it offers a rare glimpse into the personal lives of two living Buddhist masters. With unflinching honesty, Ajahn Brahm and Chan Master Guojun share the struggles they’ve faced, even after becoming monks and respected teachers. Throughout the book, we see how, instead of turning away in aversion from adversity, they’ve used it as a stepping stone for finding the peace and happiness we all seek. I love this book and recommend it most highly!” —Toni Bernhard, author of How To Be Sick

In the first four essays in this collection, D. T. Suzuki reads Meister Eckhart with the eye of a master, pointing out where his understanding deeply coincides with that of Zen Buddhism. Next, he takes on a subject Christians often find difficult, the question of transmigration or reincarnation. Suzuki then compares the dimensionality of the crucifixion with that of enlightenment. In the later essays, Suzuki moves on to the Pure Land tradition of Buddhism, and in particular to the works of Rennyo (1415-1499) and the poetry of Asahara Saichi (1850-1932), for which he provides a rare translation.

At some point in our lives, we will encounter a life-changing moment when we are forced to question our very existence. For me, it was when I found my thirty-year-old son, for no apparent reason, dead on his bed on an otherwise ordinary Monday morning. I have written this book with the hope that it can help someone else through their own loss and grief. The death of a child, at whatever age, is the most tragic experience for a parent, especially if the death is sudden. It's like a part of our body has been cruelly torn off. We will never get over the death of our child, nor should we have to. Our lives will never be the same. We will think about our child every day for the rest of our lives, and we will continue with a background ache for our child. But I have found out that we can heal from the trauma and the excruciating pain, and we can even laugh again. To heal well, we have to alter our views, our values, our attitudes, and our relationships. Expect that healing is a process which will take time. The first step in the healing process, was for me to learn to forgive and love myself for having outlived my beloved son, and having gone against the expected order of things. It was not my doing, and it was not within my control - It's just life!I had to accept that my son's death can never be undone. And I faced the painful truth that to be born is to die, and that life gave me no choice as to when, how or who died first. Grief is devastatingly painful. It can either leave us with anger and bitterness or can be used as a new awareness to give a realistic perspective and meaning to our lives. Viktor Frankl, in his book, 'Man's Search for Meaning', wrote about his life as a Nazi concentration camp prisoner where he chose to transform his darkest despair into a search for meaning and he said, 'It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us.' Our most difficult moments are our best teachers; for it is only when we encounter life-shattering moments, that we can see things as they truly are. But only if we become awakened by the tragedy and pick ourselves up - realising that we ourselves must make the effort to walk the path. 'Opens like a flower, cut it with a knife' is also the title of a song written by my son, Brian, some five years before he died. I came across this song only after he died. When I examined the lyrics, I felt it was almost as if my son, knew that he would have a short life and had left me insights on how to deal with life without him through his song. It helped me understand that although grief cuts deep like a knife and leaves a gaping hole in your heart; it is nonetheless, the very source from which a flower can bloom. It is only when you come to acceptance of your grief that paradoxically, beautiful insights can arise. But this can only happen if we are prepared to delve deeper to investigate the meaning of it all - each for ourselves. I learned through the depths of sadness that before you can know kindness at its deepest levels, you must first understand suffering in its darkest places. Through my most difficult times, I understood the significance of the Triple Gem in my life - the Buddha as the best physician; the Dhamma as medicine; and the Sangha, as mentors for me not just to survive, but to emerge a better person. I only wish I could have gone through this journey without the death of my son but this is the journey that has been thrust upon me, albeit not by choice. Happiness and grief are part of human existence.

Whether mere bumps in the road or genuine crises, we live in a world of unwanted events that no willpower can prevent. In The Art of Disappearing, Ajahn Brahm helps us learn to abandon the headwind of false expectations and follow instead the Buddha's path of understanding. Releasing our attachment to past and future, to self and other, we can directly experience the natural state of serenity underlying all our thoughts and discover the bliss of the present moment. In that space, we learn what it is to disappear. Ajahn Brahm, an unparalleled guide to the bliss of meditation, makes the journey as fun as it is rewarding. The Art of Disappearing, comprised of a series of teachings Ajahn Brahm gave to the monks of Bodhinyana Monastery, where he serves as abbot, offers a unique glimpse into the mind of one of contemporary Buddhism's most engaging figures.

In these personal reflections on his thirty years of clinical work with victims of genocide, torture, and abuse in the United States, Cambodia, Bosnia, and other parts of the world, Richard Mollica describes the surprising capacity of traumatized people to heal themselves. Here is how Neil Boothby, Director of the Program on Forced Migration and Health at the Mailman School of Public Health, Columbia University, describes the book: "Mollica provides a wealth of ethnographic and clinical evidence that suggests the human capacity to heal is innate--that the 'survival instinct' extends beyond the physical to include the psychological as well. He enables us to see how recovery from 'traumatic life events' needs to be viewed primarily as a 'mystery' to be listened to and explored, rather than solely as a 'problem' to be identified and solved. Healing involves a quest for meaning--with all of its emotional, cultural, religious, spiritual and existential attendants--even when bio-chemical reactions are also operative." Healing Invisible Wounds reveals how trauma survivors, through the telling of their stories, teach all of us how to deal with the tragic events of everyday life. Mollica's important discovery that humiliation--an instrument of violence that also leads to anger and despair--can be transformed through his therapeutic project into solace and redemption is a remarkable new contribution to survivors and clinicians. This book reveals how in every society we have to move away from viewing trauma survivors as "broken people" and "outcasts" to seeing them as courageous people actively contributing to larger social goals. When violence occurs, there is damage not only to individuals but to entire societies, and to the world. Through the journey of self-healing that survivors make, they enable the rest of us not only as individuals but as entire communities to recover from injury in a violent world.
