Buddha Meditation

What is the meaning of life? Buddhahood, Buddha Mind, Awakening, Enlightenment, Selflessness, infinite compassion, the highest happiness, vows, merits, the deepest wisdom… yet, does the question itself hold weight, or does it dissolve into the very air as it is spoken? Listen… The wind through the trees carries the answer in a whisper. The silence between heartbeats speaks of it. Life is not a puzzle to solve, but a breath to inhale, a step to take, a moment to be lived. What is a life well lived? The scent of rain touching dry earth. The ripple of water when a leaf falls. A child’s ...

No, it is not all in your head: life is stressful, and some lives more so than others. Yet people react to the same situations differently, and recognizing the difference between what we can control and what we can’t is crucial for stress management - and it is an awakening in and of itself.

Psychologists Dr Miguel Farias and Catherine Wikholm explore the human ambition for personal change and its possible illusions, with a focus on yoga and meditation.

Congratulations! Everything You Believe is a Lie. Life feels real, solid, important. But what if it’s all just a cosmic prank? What if the person you think you are—the one stressing about relationships, careers, and self-improvement—is nothing more than a character in a dream? This book isn’t here to add more beliefs to your mind—it’s here to tear them down. In A Damn Good Advaita Book, The Rebel Buddha rips through the illusion of self, exposing the mind’s tricks, the ego’s scams, and the biggest joke of all: You were never a separate person to begin with. What You’ll ...

This is not a book. This is a disappearance. You will not finish this book the same as when you started. Because this is not a book about learning. This is not a book about improving. This is not even a book about awakening. This is a book about erasing everything you think you are. Your name. Your past. Your identity. Your beliefs. Your self. Gone. Not because you “transcended” anything. Not because you “became enlightened.” But because there was never anything to erase. Everything you’ve ever been searching for? Everything you’ve ever thought you needed? It was already here. ...

Theravada, Tibetan and Zen may be the most well-known forms of Buddhism in the West, but in many parts of the East it is the Pure Land schools which dominate. Though their roots are clearly embedded in the initial teachings of the historical figure of Shakyamuni, the richly devotional nature of Pure Land Buddhism lends a unique character to its approach and practice.

Most people are living life like a Netflix series they didn’t even choose—just passively watching, reacting, and hoping for a plot twist that never comes. You wake up, check your phone, rush through the day, stress about things you won’t even remember in a year, numb yourself with entertainment, and repeat. Days blur into weeks, weeks into years. Then one day, you look around and wonder, Is this all there is? You were born awake, fully present, curious, and in tune with life. But somewhere along the way, you got conditioned—trained to chase validation, status, security, and all the ...

One of the earliest of all Buddhist texts, the Atthakavagga, or Book of Eights, is a remarkable document, not only because it comes from the earliest strain of the literature - before the Buddha, as the title suggests, came to be thought of as a "Buddhist" - but also because its approach to awakening is so simple and free of adherence to any kind of ideology. Instead the Atthakavagga points to a direct and simple approach for attaining peace without requiring the adherence to doctrine.

The present book, Itivuttaka, belongs to the Pāḷi Tipiṭaka, the authorized recension for the Theravāda Buddhism. It is unique in the Buddhist Teachings in that it contains teachings recited and collected by a woman named Khujjuttarā (declared by Lord Buddha to be foremost of those who were learned), a maid-servant of the famous Queen Sāmāvati (declared by Lord Buddha to be foremost of those who dwelt in friendship). Whenever Lord Buddha was in Kosambi, Khujjuttarā would go and listen to the teachings. Upon her return she would recite the teachings to the royalty that included ...

The Heart Sutra, originally a very short set of verses, was given in privacy as a message to one of Buddha's close disciples, Sariputra, specifically addressed to him. Over time the Heart Sutra became one of Buddhism's core teachings. In these 10 talks, Osho presents the powerful message of these ancient words and brings them to a modern audience - one with different minds and needs than the original audiences of Buddha more than 2,500 years ago.

The Eightfold Path is the most widely known formulation of the Buddha's teaching. It is ancient, reaching back to the Buddha's very first discourse, and it is highly venerated as a unique treasury of wisdom and practical guidance. The teaching of the Eightfold Path challenges us to grasp the implications of that vision, and asks us to transform ourselves in its light. Like the teaching itself, this work covers every aspect of life.
