Dalajlamova knížka o Mystice

by Renuka Singh, Lily Císařovská (Translator)

Dalajlamova Knížka o mystice je drobná a nenápadná, ale o to působivější. Všem zájemcům o buddhistickou nauku se dostává do rukou dílo, které může obohatit život každého čtenáře a ukázat smysl vnitřního života. Mystika v buddhistickém pojetí, velmi racionální a praktická, je zaměřena na mysl; její „zkrocení“ vede k pravému poznání a osvobození. Předmluva Roberta Thurmana představuje spíš vyznání, které vás vyladí do tóniny, v níž můžete zcela přirozeně rezonovat s dalším textem. Zasvěcený úvod editorky Renuky Singhové přidává kontext k dalajlamovým slovům, v nichž se s naprostou samozřejmostí proplétají různé směry i staletí jako fasety na jediném drahokamu. Autentickému záznamu přednášky předcházejí dalajlamovy citáty. Knížku uzavírá glosář nejdůležitějších pojmů a jmen, který usnadňuje orientaci.

Delightful little audiobook.

[Andrea Rampin · Rating 4 out of 5]

A book that can make you rise your look every few lines to look out the window and think, potentially endlessly... just less detailed than I expected on the matter of mysticism. I'd suggest to have the paper version instead of an ebook, because it's one of those books you'll like to open again randomly when you see it on your shelf :)

I’ve read several of the books written by the Dalai Lama and I’ve cherished them all, so I was very surprised as I struggled through this and never really felt like I contacted with the material. Disappointed ☹️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Stars

I'm not sure what I can say other than that "The Dalai Lama's Little Book of Mysticism: The Essential Teachings" was a really wonderful read. This was surprising as this is not the type of book that I would typically read and I an very glad that I did. I would have to recommend this to little book to everyone! I won this great book on GoodReads and like I do with most my wins I will be paying it forward by giving my win either to a friend or library to enjoy.

Sporo ciekawych myśli, jednak jako jednej z pierwszych pozycji dotyczącej buddyzmu nie polecam. Zostawia za dużo pytań i niejasność.

Moje pierwsze skojarzenie „rozważania marka Aureliusza” jednak tamta pozycja zostawiała czytelnika z większą ilością tematów do przetrawiania i z satysfakcją intelektualną, ta zostawia jedynie z ciekawością, ale niczym ponadto.

'People have a right to choose their food from their spiritual basket'

What i appreciate from his Holiness' writings is the logical and rational behind the philosophy. The mysticism in Buddhism is not to accept without question but to research, explore and apply logic to Buddhist teachings.

Some pointers on how to live the Bhuddist philosophy, but in need of further clarifications

[Sarah · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very insightful to Buddhism as whole and gives a lot for individuals, even non-Buddhists to think about themselves and their own world experiences.

[Subramanian · Rating 4 out of 5]

Mind bending aphorisms and some impressive interpretations of ancient texts by HH The Dalai Lama. Expertly edited by Renuka Singh.
