Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche

Jännittävä, liikuttava, hauska ja syvästi inhimillinen kirja buddhalaismunkista, joka karkasi luostarista päästäkseen kosketuksiin maailman todellisten haasteiden kanssa. Teos välittää selkeästi ja yksinkertaisesti yleisinhimillisiä ajatuksia elämästä, pysymättömyydestä, tunteiden kohtaamisesta ja vaikeuksien voittamisesta. Kirja sopii seikkailun ja viisauden etsijöille, avuksi elämän tai kuoleman pelkoon, lohduksi yksinäisille ja levon lähteeksi kiireisille. Ennen kaikkea se sopii oppaaksi ja inspiraatioksi henkiseen harjoitukseen ja auttaa tuomaan harjoituksen osaksi tavallista arkea. Minguyr-rinpoche on tiibetinbuddhalainen munkki ja loistava opettaja, joka tunnetaan helposti lähestyttävästä, henkilökohtaisesta tavasta avata perinteisten opetusten aarteita nykyihmisille. Hänen kokemuksensa paniikkihäiriöstä ja sen voittamisesta on puhutellut länsimaisia ihmisiä maailmankatsomuksesta riippumatta. Mingyur-rinpochelta on aikaisemmin suomennettu teos Elämänilon salaisuus ja onnellisuuden tiede (Basam Books 2009).

A rare, intimate account of a world-renowned Buddhist monk's near-death experience and the life-changing wisdom he gained from it"One of the most inspiring books I have ever read."--Pema Ch dr n, author of When Things Fall Apart"This book has the potential to change the reader's life forever."--George Saunders, author of Lincoln in the Bardo At thirty-six years old, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche was a rising star within his generation of Tibetan masters and the respected abbot of three monasteries. Then one night, telling no one, he slipped out of his monastery in India with the intention of spending the next four years on a wandering retreat, following the ancient practice of holy mendicants. His goal was to throw off his titles and roles in order to explore the deepest aspects of his being. He immediately discovered that a lifetime of Buddhist education and practice had not prepared him to deal with dirty fellow travelers or the screeching of a railway car. He found he was too attached to his identity as a monk to remove his robes right away or to sleep on the Varanasi station floor, and instead paid for a bed in a cheap hostel. But when he ran out of money, he began his life as an itinerant beggar in earnest. Soon he became deathly ill from food poisoning--and his journey took a startling turn. His meditation practice had prepared him to face death, and now he had the opportunity to test the strength of his training. In this powerful and unusually candid account of the inner life of a Buddhist master, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche offers us the invaluable lessons he learned from his near-death experience. By sharing with readers the meditation practices that sustain him, he shows us how we can transform our fear of dying into joyful living. Praise for In Love with the World "Vivid, compelling . . . This book is a rarity in spiritual literature: Reading the intimate story of this wise and devoted Buddhist monk directly infuses our own transformational journey with fresh meaning, luminosity, and life."--Tara Brach, author of Radical Acceptance and True Refuge "In Love with the World is a magnificent story--moving and inspiring, profound and utterly human. It will certainly be a dharma classic."--Jack Kornfield, author of A Path with Heart "This book makes me think enlightenment is possible."--Russell Brand

FORELSKET I VERDEN er den verdenskendte tibetanske meditationslærer og munk Yongey Mingyur Rinpoches gribende personlige beretning. Han forlod alt – sit hjem, alle han kendte, forsikring om mad i maven hver dag og en beskyttet, privilegeret tilværelse som overhoved for tre klostre – og begav sig ud på en pilgrimsrejse for i praksis at afprøve alt det, han havde lært. Han ønskede at finde ud af, hvem han virkelig var, uden titler og roller. En nat sneg han sig ud, uden nogen opdagede det og levede de næste fire år som omvandrende munk i Indien, en til tider yderst barsk tilværelse som tigger på gaden, hvor han fik rig mulighed for at teste holdbarheden af sin spirituelle træning. Det er en fantastisk spændende historie, og hele beretningen igennem viser han os, hvordan vi kan forvandle vores frygt for døden og møde livet med glæde.

Fra buddhismens femogtyvehundrede års gamle perspektiv kan enhver tidsalder beskrives som ‘angstens tidsalder’. Den angst, vi mærker nu, har været del af det menneskelige vilkår i århundreder. Vi reagerer almindeligvis over for dette grundlæggende ubehag og over for de forstyrrende følelser, der optræder i dets kølvand, på to forskellige måder: Vi forsøger at flygte eller vi bukker under. Begge veje ender ofte med at skabe flere komplikationer og problemer i vores tilværelse. Buddhismen tilbyder en tredje mulighed. Vi kan betragte de forstyrrende følelser, og andre problemer, vi oplever i vores tilværelse, som et sprængbræt til frihed. Frem for at afvise dem eller overgive os til dem, kan vi nærme os dem og gennemarbejde dem, så vi når frem til en ægte erfaring med vores iboende visdom, tillid, klarhed og glæde.“Hvordan anvender jeg en sådan fremgangsmåde?” spørger mange. “Hvordan forbinder jeg mit liv med denne vej?” På mange måder er ‘Visdom med glæde ‘et svar på disse spørgsmål og en praktisk håndbog i, hvordan indsigt og buddhistisk praksis anvendes i forhold til hverdagslivets udfordringer. Bogen henvender sig også til dem, der måske ikke i øjeblikket oplever problemer eller vanskeligheder – dem, der er tilfredse, og hvis liv udvikler sig ganske lykkeligt. Når det gælder disse heldige mennesker, tjener bogen som en undersøgelse af tilværelsens grundvilkår set fra et buddhistisk perspektiv. Den kan vise sig nyttig som et udgangspunkt for at opdage og udvikle et potentiale, som de måske end ikke er sig bevidst.

In this remarkable sequel to his book, The Joy of Living, Buddhist scholar and teacher Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche explores the role of positive thinking and how to overcome anxiety in everyday life. Joyful Wisdom is divided into three parts, the way traditional Buddhist texts are organized: * Part One offers an overview of the basic unease we feel, how it evolved, its true source. * Part Two describes the methods of meditation that transforms our experiences into deeper insights. *Part Three explores the application of these methods to emotional, physical, and personal problems. Each chapter is underlined by examples drawn from Yongey Mingyur's personal experience, the stories of friends and teachers, and in particular the conversations with people he's met during the 12 years he has spent teaching around the world.

Yongey Mingyur is one of the most celebrated among the new generation of Tibetan meditation masters, whose teachings have touched people of all faiths around the world. His first book, The Joy of Living, was a New York Times bestseller hailed as "compelling, readable, and informed" (Buddhadharma) and praised by Richard Gere, Lou Reed, and Julian Schnabel for its clarity, wit, and unique insight into the relationship between science and Buddhism. His new book, Joyful Wisdom, addresses the timely and timeless problem of anxiety in our everyday lives. "From the 2,500-year-old perspective of Buddhism," Yongey Mingyur writes, "every chapter in human history could be described as an 'age of anxiety.' The anxiety we feel now has been part of the human condition for centuries." So what do we do? Escape or succumb? Both routes inevitably lead to more complications and problems in our lives. "Buddhism," he says, "offers a third option. We can look directly at the disturbing emotions and other problems we experience in our lives as stepping-stones to freedom. Instead of rejecting them or surrendering to them, we can befriend them, working through them to reach an enduring authentic experience of our inherent wisdom, confidence, clarity, and joy." Divided into three parts like a traditional Buddhist text, Joyful Wisdom identifies the sources of our unease, describes methods of meditation that enable us to transform our experience into deeper insight, and applies these methods to common emotional, physical, and personal problems. The result is a work at once wise, anecdotal, funny, informed, and graced with the author's irresistible charm.

Der vom Dalai Lama erwählte jüngste tibetisch-buddhistische Meister berichtet: Eine spannende Mischung aus Autobiographie, Meditationstechniken und neuesten wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen. Mingyur Rinpoche lebte als Exiltibeter zunächst in Indien. Bereits mit 17 Jahren jüngster tibetischer Meditationsmeister, galt er als "Wunderkind". Als der Dalai Lama vor Jahren gebeten wurde, für umfangreiche neurologische Untersuchungen über die Wirkung von Meditation einen Kandidaten zu benennen, fiel seine Wahl auf Mingyur Rinpoche. Die Genialität des vorliegenden Buches liegt vor allem in seiner Fähigkeit, wissenschaftliche Genauigkeit mit verständlichen, teils humorvollen Erklärungen der buddhistischen Perspektive und praktischen Unterweisungen zu verbinden. Neben seiner philosophischen Perspektive finden wir erprobte Meditationsanleitungen, die neugierig machen auf die "Früchte" am Ende des Weges. "Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche zeigt in seinem Buch "Buddha und die Wissenschaft vom Glück" wie intensive Meditation funktioniert. Und wie zerstörerische Gefühle durch Meditation aufgelöst werden können." dpa und Neue Ruhr/Rhein Zeitung am Sonntag
