"Une analyse éclairante et bienvenue" Matthieu RicardCe livre est une présentation du végétarisme du point de vue du bouddhisme. Lauteur, Bodhipaksa, qui est vétérinaire de formation et bouddhiste pratiquant, est idealement place pour aborder cette question. Nos contemporains sont de plus en plus sensibles a la souffrance animale et il existe un veritable interet pour le vegetarisme et le veganisme. Le Bouddha mangeait-il de la viande ? Retournant au bouddhisme, et constatant que tous les bouddhistes ne sont pas vegetariens, Bodhipaksa considere ensuite cette question en la replaçant dans un contexte historique. Il nous presente lethique bouddhiste faite dempathie et de bienveillance pour tous les etres vivants. Le livre decrit enfin les benefices du vegetarisme : les benefices pour nous -memes et notre sante; et les immenses benefices pour le monde, le developpement du vegetarisme ayant un impact immediat sur la preservation de ressources naturelles aujourdhui en grand danger. Cet ouvrage interessera bien sur les bouddhistes, mais plus largement tous les lecteurs soucieux du bien-etre animal, ou de lecologie et tous ceux qui sinterrogent aujourdhui sur leur consommation de viande.

El primero de los cinco preceptos budistas ampliamente observados consiste en no dañar a ningún ser vivo, lo cual abarca tanto al ser humano como a todos los animales, y puede expresarse como un compromiso a afirmar y apoyar la vida en cualquiera de sus formas. La dieta vegetariana constituye una manera clara e inmediata de llevar a la practica esta afirmacion de la vida. Bodhipaksa, experimentado veterinario al tiempo que budista practicante, se encuentra en la posicion ideal para desvelar el sufrimiento de los animales que viven en granjas industriales y para identificar las consecuencias eticas que se derivan de infligir esa clase de sufrimiento. En este libro sencillo y directo, el autor expone tanto las bases eticas y filosoficas del vegetarianismo como sus ventajas para la salud fisica y mental, hoy cientificamente demostradas.

A popular Buddhist teacher guides you through strategies to build and maintain a rock-solid daily meditation practicefrom setting reminders to dealing with setbacks to introducing the philosophical concepts underpinning Buddhist meditationand everything in between.Its widely known that there are many benefits to meditation, particularly if undertaken regularly, but making it a daily habit can be a challenge for many people. Why? Because it takes more than willpower. Here, longtime meditation teacher and Buddhist blogger Bodhipaksa presents a collection of strategies and tools to help build a rock-solid daily meditation practice into your life. The book is divided into 28 chapters, one for each day. Each chapter starts with a Practice Reminder, just a few words reminding readers of the importance of practicing meditation rather than merely reading about it. Theres also a link to a web page of guided meditations. Following that is a Today section, a brief summary of the days reading. Then theres a Strategies section, which offers suggestions to help readers build the habit of meditating daily. Strategies can be as simple as setting reminders or using a meditation timer, or more involved tools such as changing any belief that you lack what it takes to meditate daily. Thats followed by a Going Deeper section, with a deeper exploration of some of the Buddhist teachings underpinning our practice, often referring to the suttas, or scriptures, of early Buddhism. Next is a Journal/Reflection section, which encourages readers to make the content of the Going Deeper section more experiential. Each chapter ends with a Last Words section, quickly summarizing the Going Deeper section.

Neuroscience meets Buddhist wisdom in this wise guide offering 5 key skills for developing mindful self-compassionand becoming your own best advocate (Tara Brach, author of Radical Acceptance). We all long for someone to offer us unconditional love and support. But what if that person is us? The practice of mindful self-compassion creates the space we need so that observation, acceptance, and real love can enterno matter how judgmental or disconnected we may feel. It sounds like a simple idea: to be kind to yourself. But if you pay attention to your thoughts, habits, and self-talk, you may find that its more difficult than it sounds. The intentional practice of self-compassion, outlined here by Buddhist scholar and teacher, Bodhipaksa, can help you find greater overall wellbeing, emotional resilience, physical health, and willpower. Bodhipaksa provides both the why and the how of mindful self-compassion, drawing on contemporary psychology and neuroscience and also on Buddhist psychology, weaving the modern and ancient together into a coherent whole. Contemporary psychologists are focusing less on self-esteem and more on self-compassion. Bodhipaksa, a practicing meditator of more than 30 years, effortlessly blends ancient techniques dating back to the time of the Buddha with the most recent understanding of psychology and neuroscience. And in the end, as Bodhipaksa writes, it is actually quite simple: Life is short. Be kind.

Quotes from the Buddha are everywhere: on Facebook, Instagram, coffee mugs, posters. Theres only one problem: the Buddha didnt actually say most of them. This humorous and informative book takes these fake Buddha quotes as a launching point for a discussion on what the Buddha really did say, and is a great entry point for those interested in learning more about Buddhism--what it is, and what it isnt.Bodhipaksa, a well-known Buddhist teacher and the founder of fakebuddhaquotes.com, takes a look at some of the quotes that are erroneously attributed to the Buddha, explains the ways in which these disagree (or sometimes agree) with Buddhist teachings, and offers some genuine examples of the Buddhas words.The perfect gift for the Buddhist in your life and an essential addition to any Buddhist library, I Cant Believe Its Not Buddha! is at once humorous and scholarly, and a timely antidote to the "fake news" that can surround some of the Buddhas teachings.
