Das geheime Wissen der Ninja: 8 Wege, die Welt zu verändern
»Wer Angst vor dem Klimawandel hat, lernt von der Anpassungsfähigkeit der japanischen Ninja. Wer sich vor Arbeitsplatzverlust sorgt, lernt von der Wandlungsfähigkeit der Ninja. Wer sich vor Veränderung fürchtet, lernt von der Fähigkeit der Ninja, die Welt zu verändern. Jeder Mensch hat die Kraft eines Ninja und daher die Möglichkeit, die Welt zu verändern.«Bernhard MoestlDer Friede bröckelt. Die Welt wandelt sich - oft zu unserem Nachteil. Wie aber können wir unser Leben trotzdem in unserem Sinne gestalten?Bernhard Moestl, der gefeierte Bestseller-Autor und erfahrene Business-Coach, beschäftigt sich seit über 35 Jahren mit asiatischer Weisheit und Kampfkunst. Besonders intensiv hat er das Geheimwissen der Ninja studiert. Denn die Spione lenkten - im Alltag unerkannt - mithilfe ihrer geheimen Strategien über Jahrhunderte den Lauf der Dinge. Anhand von Alltagssituationen und überlieferten Geschichten der Ninja zeigt er psychologisch wirksam auf, wie wir im Hier und Jetzt mit diesem Geheimwissen zu mehr Selbstbewusstsein, innerer Stärke, Wirkungsmacht und Durchsetzungskraft finden.Die Ninja stehen - mehr noch als die Shaolin-Mönche - für die Idee des kampflosen Sieges. Sie waren anpassungsfähige kampfbereite Spione und nicht die Meuchelmörder, als die Film und Fernsehen sie uns zeigen.Die Schattenkrieger beobachteten Gegner und Problemlagen - und fanden die zeitgemäße Lösung. Wer von den Ninja lernt, muss nicht kämpfen, um sich durchzusetzen. Der verzettelt sich nicht, sondern engagiert sich im Alltag nur dort, wo er etwas erreichen kann. Denn wer im Stillen wirkt, erzielt die größere Wirkung.Die Geschichte der Ninja kann uns allen heute Anregung sein und wirksam Selbsthilfe geben, denn Elemente ihrer Lehre lassen sich auf unser Leben übertragen: Sie blieben unerkannt und waren daher nicht unter Druck zu setzen, sondern wirkten in ihrem Hauptberuf als Lehrer oder Schneiderin. Doch in sich entwickelten sie die Stärke, ihr geheimes Wissen zu nutzen und sich durchzusetzen.Wir können von ihnen lernen. Etwa, uns nur dort zu engagieren, wo wir einen Effekt erzielen. Uns zurückzunehmen, wenn eine Diskussion von vornherein kein Ergebnis verspricht. Uns auf unsere persönlichen Fähigkeiten zu konzentrieren und diese auszubilden. Denn wenn wir bereit sind zum Kampf, ohne uns aufzureiben, können wir Wirkung erzielen. Und die Welt in unserem Sinn verändern.-

An Introduction to Zen Buddhism
This is the classic account of Zen from the first major authority to inform the West of the details and practice of this form of Mahayana Buddhism. Despite its age and the widespread adoption of Zen by Western society in the past century, it remains an important and authentic source for theory and practice. Zen originated in China where it was known as Cha'an, and although D. T. Suzuki's discussion here concentrates on its Japanese form, he gives his subject a historic perspective. He explains how Zen became perhaps the single most unusual development of Buddhism, moving far from its Indian origins. Rather than theory and philosophical discussion, Zen became identified by its intense, arduous and even seemingly odd practices, underpinned by charismatic teachers with uncompromising teaching styles. The purpose was to develop satori, insight into the nature of things, which was only attainable through personal experience rather than by learning. The route was often counter-intuitive, and the explanations and implications often beyond logic. In Japan, Zen developed into two major schools. Soto, as founded by Dogen (1200-1253), which concentrated on formal seated zazen (meditation), and Rinzai, which was given new impetus by Hakuin (1686-1769) and uses the Koan – a phrase or question intended to propel the exponent into the experience of satori. In his sound and straightforward exposition of classical Zen, Suzuki discusses the nature of Zen Buddhism in nine chapters, asking ‘What is Zen', ‘Is Zen Nihilistic', ‘Illogical Zen' before expressing his particular interest in Rinzai. He closes his account with an insightful chapter ‘The Meditation Hall and the Monk's Life', which describes the traditional training up to the time of the writing (1930s) of this book. The practice of Zen has moved on considerably since then, especially since its adoption in the West, including a broader attitude towards non-monastic practice. But Suzuki's Introduction has stood the test of time.

Why Buddhist Practice? Why Psychotherapy?
Jennings is both a Buddhist practitioner and a psychologist. Here she talks about when it’s appropriate to bring our psychological struggles to our Buddhist teacher and when it is appropriate to bring them to a therapist. In general, Jennings says the differences between them are: “When you are working with a therapist or an analyst, there is a sense of very personal explorations. The lens is to go in close and look at the particularities of the way a patient has gone through their life with very particular parents, family system, and culture, etc. Buddhist teachers tend to zoom out, and explore suffering from a more universal lens. So, when their Western students come to them with particular personal problems, they’ll tend to respond from this universal perspective that these are all manifestations of the same tendencies we all have.” She discusses how each has much to give and addresses the value of having a spiritual community where you can look for support and have conversations, as contrasted to the psycho-analytic process where it is a one-on-one and the support comes from a single individual in the form of the therapist.

The Exploration of the Rainbow Body and the Resurrection of Jesus
Father Tiso gathered eye-witness accounts in Tibet of the dissolution of the material body at the death of Kenpo A Chö.

Entering the Mind, by C von Hassett, is a deeply insightful exploration of a timeless wisdom practice known as Dzogchen—a meditation practice which points the practitioner directly to their own innate, naturally occurring mind, or what is otherwise known as “mind in its natural state.” This is the very mind the Buddha spoke of as being already awakened, already enlightened, and this mind is easily accessible and readily observable within each of us. Entering the Mind shows us how to do just that: how to confidently recognize our own awakened mind within ourselves, then realize it within this one lifetime.
C Von Hassett (Author), Rachel Reid Wilkie (Narrator)

The concept of the 'Waking Buddha' is a profound and transformative idea deeply rooted in Zen Buddhism. It encapsulates the essence of Zen practice, where awakening to one's true nature is not relegated to some far-off spiritual attainment but is a lived reality, an ever-present possibility. In this essay, we will explore the notion of the Waking Buddha, what it means, and how it pertains to our daily lives. The Waking Buddha represents the idea that enlightenment is not an abstract, unattainable goal but an immediate, tangible experience available to each one of us. It is not something to be achieved in a distant future but a realization that can happen here and now. The essence of this concept is mindfulness—being fully present in the current moment, aware of our thoughts, emotions, and surroundings. When we cultivate this awareness, we awaken the Buddha nature that resides within us. Zen teachings emphasize the importance of direct experience over intellectual understanding. The Waking Buddha is about transcending the limitations of the thinking mind and experiencing reality directly. It involves letting go of attachments, judgments, and preconceived notions, allowing the true self to shine forth. This awakening is not reserved for a select few but is a birthright of every sentient being, waiting to be uncovered through diligent practice. The path to becoming the Waking Buddha is not without its challenges. It demands commitment, patience, and a willingness to confront our own inner turmoil. Zen practitioners engage in meditation, mindfulness, and koan practice to break free from the confines of the ego and awaken to their true nature. Koans are paradoxical questions or statements used in Zen practice to provoke deep insight. They challenge the thinking mind, pushing it beyond its logical boundaries and into a realm of direct experience.
