Ser Un Humano Y También Un Buda

Résumé du livre

"This book is a wonderful meditation manual, based on the annotated translation of Longchenpa's fourteenth-century Tibetan book "The Precious Copper Letters," a key book of Buddhist meditation teaching that breaks down the "seven mind trainings" of Dzogchen Buddhism. The purpose of Longchenpa's sevenfold mental training is the awakening of consciousness and inner vision. "The Precious Copper Letters" is one of the fundamental works on meditation that Tibetan Buddhism has given us. In this volume, the well-known professor of Philosophy of Religion and Tibetologist at Rice University Anne C. Klein explains in a beautiful, clear and simple way these trainings of Longchenpa making them accessible and easy for anyone in the West interested in cultivating a clean, compassionate and wise mind. The author dives into the teachings of sutra, tantra, and Dzogchen, to resolve our most challenging questions about what awakening entails and how it relates to the truth of our human condition right now. As foundational doctrines for meditation practitioners, the seven trainings are presented as contemplations on impermanence, the adventitious character of happiness and its short duration, the multiple causes of death, the meaninglessness of our worldly activities, trust in the Buddha's good qualities, the essential instructions of the teacher, conscious breathing, goodness, noble feelings, and the intimacy of our being"--
