It is little known that Richard Wagner was among the very first Westerners to appreciate Buddhism and that he was the first major European artist to be inspired by this religion. In 1856, in the prime of his creativity, the 33-year-old artist read his first book about Buddhism. Madly in love with Mathilde Wesendonck, a beautiful but happily married woman, he conceived two deeply connected opera projects: Tristan und Isolde which he went on to compose and stage, and Die Sieger (The Victors), an opera scenario based on an Indian Buddha legend translated from Sanskrit. These two projects mirrored Wagner's burning desire for the consummation of his love and the necessity of renunciation. This Buddhist opera project occupied Wagner's mind for decades until his death in 1883. Indeed, the composer's last words were about the Buddha figure of his scenario and his relationship with women. Urs App, the author of The Birth of Orientalism (University of Pennsylvania Press) and the world's foremost authority on the early Western reception of Buddhism, tells the story of Richard Wagner's creative encounter with Buddhism and explains the composer's last words.

Richard Wagner war einer der ersten Europäer, der den Buddhismus schätzte und darf als der erste große Künstler des Westens gelten, der sich von dieser Religion inspirieren ließ. Im Jahre 1856, auf dem Gipfel seiner künstlerischen Kreativität, las der 33-jährige Künstler in Zürich sein erstes Buch über den Buddhismus. Er war damals völlig verliebt in die glücklich verheiratete Mathilde Wesendonck und ersann zwei zutiefst verbundene Opernprojekte, die den Zwiespalt in seinem Herzen widerspiegelten: Tristan und Isolde, wo zur Befriedigung des Begehrens alle Konventionen gebrochen werden, und Die Sieger, ein von einer indischen Buddhalegende inspiriertes Opernszenario wo Entsagung als höchster Ausdruck der Liebe dargestellt wird. Dieses buddhistische Opernprojekt beschäftigte Wagner jahrzehntelang bis zu seinem Tod im Jahre 1883. In der Tat galten seine letzten Worte der Buddhafigur in seinem Szenario und deren Bezug zu den Frauen. Urs App, der weltbekannte Historiker der westlichen Rezeption des Buddhismus, erzählt die Geschichte von Richard Wagners kreativer Begegnung mit dieser Religion und erläutert die letzten Worte des Komponisten.

Parsifal was Richard Wagner's last opera, and many consider it his most beautiful and moving work. Peter Bassett, author of the highly successful A RING FOR THE MILLENNIUM, has made a special study of Parsifal, looking particularly at the relationship between Wagner's sources and his text and identifying important thematic connections with other works, notably DER RING DES NIBELUNG. This guide - which includes a translation of the libretto - will be invaluable to those new to Parsifal, but will also provide fresh insights for readers who are already familiar with Wagner's final work. This new edition is illustrated with historical photographs and a new format.

Many people who are drawn to Buddhism today are seeking for spiritual knowledge as opposed to simple faith or sectarian belief. Hermann Beckh had a profound personal connection to the Buddhist path and the noble truths it contains, yet he was also dedicated to a radical renewal of Christianity. Assimilating the groundbreaking research of Rudolf Steiner (1861–1925), Beckh’s comprehension of Buddhism was neither limited to historical documents nor scholarly research in philology. Rather, from his inner meditation and spiritual understanding, he saw the earlier great world religions as waymarks for humanity’s evolving consciousness. In the modern world, the apprehension of Christianity needed to be grounded firmly in a universally-valid, inner cognition and experience: ‘In this light, knowledge becomes life.’ Hermann Beckh – Professor of Tibetan Studies and Sanskrit in Berlin, subsequently a founding priest of The Christian Community – first published this mature study in 1925. Having already produced the comprehensive Buddha’s Life and Teaching in 1916, Beckh’s sweeping perspectives combined with his extensive academic knowledge provided a unique grounding for authoring this work. As he notes, From Buddha to Christ follows a path of development, ‘both of method and goal’. Thus, studying this book is itself a path of knowledge and potential initiation. Beckh’s universal insights remain relevant – and if anything have gained in value – to twenty-first century readers. This edition features an additional essay, ‘Steiner and Buddha: Neo-Buddhist Spiritual Streams and Anthroposophy’ (1931), in which Beckh, for the first and last time, explains his lifelong personal connection to the Buddhist path.
