Everyone’s in the pursuit of happiness, but few know how to attain it. Millions around the world have turned to Japan for advice on finding their Ikigai, or summoning The Courage to Be Disliked. Japan’s spiritual traditions hide in plain sight, forming the basis of so much of what we love about the country’s culture. Without Japan’s spiritual sustenance, Jiro wouldn’t dream of sushi; Hayao Miyazaki’s films wouldn’t spirit us away; and Marie Kondo wouldn’t spark joy.

One that updates the ancient language to a more modern understanding, yet without touching the spirit of Lao Tzu’s timeless work, or altering his guidance towards working with the principles of the universe instead of against them.

Es ese lugar especial que llena tus días de propósito y alegría, la razón por la que te levantas de la cama cada mañana con ganas de abrazar el mundo.

Artha-shastra is about generating food, i.e. wealth, by creating goods and services; Kama-shastra is about indulging our hungers with this food. Dharma-shastra insists we consider the hunger of others, while Moksha-shastra is about outgrowing our hungers, in order to be detached and generous. Together, these four Hindu shastras provide a framework within which human action, its purposes and consequences, can be defined; together, they validate human existence and give it meaning.

Entering the Mind, by C von Hassett, is a deeply insightful exploration of a timeless wisdom practice known as Dzogchen—a meditation practice which points the practitioner directly to their own innate, naturally occurring mind, or what is otherwise known as “mind in its natural state.” This is the very mind the Buddha spoke of as being already awakened, already enlightened, and this mind is easily accessible and readily observable within each of us.

The Four Fathers tale and narration continue to meander upstream and down, banging and whimpering, tell-tale and told without resolve or resolution. This book covers the Alma Mater front and center, back and forth without forgetting The Sleepy Little Village and what lies beyond . "Princeton continues to be larger than life as it takes on a new proportion consonant with history and its proper place." "Nowhere has point of view been so stood on its head as the amble continues to rise to the level of pure tamble." "As I read I feel that I have stepped in a mythological stream that satisfies ...

Möchten Sie im Chaos des Lebens inneren Frieden finden? In dem von Deepack Chopra empfohlenen Hörbuch "Weisheit des ungesicherten Lebens" zeigt Alan Watts, ein weltberühmter Religionsphilosoph, auf, wie unsere moderne Gesellschaft aufgrund ihrer Betonung von materiellem Erfolg, Sicherheit und Kontrolle oft keine Freude in den Menschen hervorbringt.
