LARRY ROSENBERG

Tres pasos para el despertar representa la esencia de más de cuatro décadas de práctica y enseñanza espirituales. Basándose en las distintas tradiciones budistas, Larry Rosenberg describe tres formas de practica meditativa sutilmente diferentes y complementarias: la consciencia de la respiracion, la respiracion como ancla y el darse cuenta. Con estos tres metodos disponemos de un recurso meditativo para cualquier situacion de la vida. En momentos de estres, por ejemplo, tal vez utilicemos la consciencia de la respiracion, mientras que en un retiro prolongado puede ser mas apropiada la practica del darse cuenta.Tras exponer el metodo de tres pasos el libro explica como transferir la consciencia experimentada durante la meditacion al mundo que existe fuera de la sala y del cojin; es decir, a las relaciones y a todos los aspectos de la vida cotidiana.No tiene desperdicio la conversacion entre Larry Rosenberg y Jiddu Krishnamurti que cierra este breve y esclarecedor texto.1.

Freedom from suffering is not only possible, but the means for achieving it are immediately within our grasp--literally as close to us as our own breath. This is the 2,500-year-old good news contained in the "Anapanasati Sutra ," the Buddha''s teaching on cultivating both tranquility and deep insight through full awareness of breathing. In this book, Larry Rosenberg brings this timeless meditation method to life. Using the insights gained from his many years of practice and teaching, he makes insight meditation practice accessible to modern practitioners.

This book presents the Buddhist approach to facing the inevitable facts of growing older, getting sick, and dying. These tough realities are not given much attention by many people until midlife, when they become harder to avoid. Using a Buddhist text known as the Five Subjects for Frequent Recollection, Larry Rosenberg shows how intimacy with the realities of aging can actually be used as a means to liberation. When we become intimate with these inevitable aspects of life, he writes, we also become intimate with ourselves, with others, with the worldindeed with all things.

A wonderfully accessible interpretation of the Buddhas teachings on breathwork in meditation, from a leading insight meditation teacher (Joseph Goldstein, author of The Experience of Insight) Freedom from suffering is not only possible, but the means for achieving it are immediately within our graspliterally as close to us as our own breath. This is the 2,500-year-old good news contained in the Anapanasati Sutra, the Buddhas own teaching on cultivating both tranquility and deep insight through the full awareness of breathing. In this book, Larry Rosenberg brings this timeless meditation method to modern practitioners, using the insights gained from his many years of practice and teaching. With wisdom, compassion, and humor, he shows how the practice of breath awareness is quietly, profoundly transformativeand supremely practical: if youre breathing, youve already got everything you need to start.

This collection of teachings by the beloved Insight Meditation teacher Larry Rosenberg offers clear, down-to-earth guidance on learning how to live a life informed by Buddhismthrough questioning, reflective observation, and self-understanding. Rosenberg is known for presenting the essence of the Buddhism in a way that is unvarnished, utterly accessible, and that resonates with a wide audience. Here he unpackswith his signature engaging and iconoclastic stylesuch topics as meditation, silence, use of the breath, self-knowing, working with strong emotions, intimacy, illness and grief, among others. There are few teachers who so epitomize the idea of spiritual friend in the way that Larry Rosenberg does. His teachings give a clear sense that dharma is very much a part of everyday life. This book is also informed by what Rosenberg considers his deeper and more immediate understanding of dharma that has come in recent yearsa period marked in his own life by illness and disabilityand in the life of the planet by a deadly pandemic, war, an existential climate crisis, and pervasive technological distraction.An introductory essay, written by journalist and author Madeline Drexler, serves as a spiritual biography of Rosenberg, presenting his reflections on more than half a century of dedicated dharma practice and instruction. This essay illuminates what, for Rosenberg, were profound turning points and moments of realizationhis long apprenticeships with foundational figures in twentieth-century Buddhism, including Ajahn Chah, Thich Nhat Hanh, Seung Sahn, and Ajahn Buddhadasa, as well as Indian philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti.

A unique, adaptable model for meditation practice that ties together elements of the various Buddhist traditionsThe deceptively simple three-phase method presented in Three Steps to Awakening is a meditation practice that can be worked with for a lifetime. Larry Rosenberg looks to Zen, Insight Meditation, and the teachings of J. Krishnamurti to find three kinds of meditation that anyone can do and that complement each other in a wonderful way: (1) breath awareness, (2) breath as anchor, and (3) choiceless awareness.Having the three methods in ones repertoire gives one meditation resources for any life situation. In a time of stress, for example, one might use breath awareness exclusively. Or on an extended retreat, one might find choiceless awareness more appropriate. The three-step method has been taught to Larrys students at the Cambridge Meditation Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for many years.After teaching the three-step method, Larry goes on to show how to bring the awareness gained in meditation to the world off the cushion, into relationships and into all areas of daily life.
