GROUND-BREAKING TRIP, GROUND-BREAKING TEACHINGS';Actually, you are the Buddha. Not such an effective buddha, perhaps, but... a buddha, a small Buddha... We need to nurture our inner Buddha, our child Buddha.' The 17th Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje In this series of teachings given during his first-ever visit to Europe, His Holiness the 17th Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje, provided a stunning demonstration of what it means to live and teach with an open heart. The Karmapa shared his own life experiences and the feelings they awakened in him, reflecting on his own process of finding meaning in life. Even though he was addressing massive audiences in convention centres, the youthful Buddhist leader spoke as if conversing with close friends. The result is heart-based and comes direct with the freshness of experience.The teachings contained in this book issue a clarion call, urging us each to find the meaning of our own life as we take up the responsibility for the world we all live in. To do so, the Karmapa assures us, we need only nurture the seeds of compassion that we all have within us.
“Denne bog handler ikke om buddhistisk teori eller praksis, men om vores liv som mennesker. Vores gøremål i livet og i verden er vores fælles grundlag, og med den platform mødes vi som venner,” skriver Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje. Og hvis du er inspireret til at følge op på denne udfordring, viser han en vej – baseret på medfølelse – til at tage del i et globalt samfund, som er baseret på medfølelse. I bogen videregiver han sin vision om at bringe sociale handlinger ind i hverdagslivet – i en målestok vi realistisk set kan overkomme – gennem de valg, vi træffer hver dag: hvad der skal købes, hvad der skal spises, og hvordan vi på ærlig og modig vis kan forholde os til vores venner, familie og kolleger. Ved at anskue verden gennem en linse af alle følende væseners gensidige afhængighed ser han, at når mennesker ændrer deres holdninger og handlinger, kan de forandre sociale og miljørelaterede problemer. Derved anviser han os veje til at ændre vores verden ved at ændre os selv.Forord af Hans Hellighed Dalai Lama
