Awakening from the Daydream
David Nichtern
2016
Hell realms, gods, and hungry ghosts—these are just a few of the images on the Buddhist wheel of life. In Awakening from the Daydream, discover how these ancient symbols are still relevant to our modern life. In Awakening from the Daydream, meditation teacher David Nichtern reimagines the ancient Buddhist allegory of the Wheel of Life. Famously painted at the entryway to Buddhist monasteries, the Wheel of Life encapsulates the entirety of the human situation. In the image of the Wheel we find a teaching about how to make sense of life and how to find peace within an uncertain world. Nichtern writes with clarity and humor, speaking to our contemporary society and its concerns and providing simple practical steps for building a mindful, compassionate, and liberating approach to living.

Tsultrim Allione
Tra le prime monache buddhiste occidentali, Tsultrim Allione ha rinunciato ai voti per sposarsi e avere figli. Ma dopo la morte in culla del suo piccolo, è tornata a rivolgersi alla saggezza buddhista in cerca di una via per trasformare il dolore in crescita spirituale. Ricca di una lunga esperienza nella meditazione mandala, in queste pagine racconta la sua vicenda di perdita e ricerca, ma soprattutto insegna ai lettori come diventare più forti nelle avversità, guidandoli lungo un cammino di risveglio che conduce verso la pratica tantrica e il cambiamento.

Nutri i tuoi demoni
Tsultrim Allione
Depressione, ansia, malattia, disordini alimentari, relazioni difficili, paura, rabbia, dipendenza. Quali che siano i tuoi demoni, più li combatti e più questi diventano forti. Per liberartene, non devi opporti a loro, devi nutrirli.
