The Buddha Walks Into a Bar

Meggan Watterson

Told from the alternating vantage points of authors Meggan Watterson and Lodro Rinzler, How to Love Yourself (and Sometimes Other People) reminds us that love isn't something we have to earn. All of us are deeply and intrinsically worthy of love-not only love we hope to receive from others, but the love we give to ourselves-and this book offers the insight and practical tools we need to stay firmly grounded in self-love as we ride out the natural (and often stormy) cycles of relationships. Meggan and Lodro's Unique perspectives as teachers and scholars of Christian mysticism and Buddhism respectively make for a rich and lively dialogue that draws on wisdom sources like the Gospel of Mary Magdalene and the Four Noble Truths, along with funny, revealing stories from their own love lives and their deep friendship with each other. You'll find guidance for embracing single life, dating with an open heart, and thriving in lasting love; meditations and practices for calm abiding, 'disciplined hope,' and connecting to the source of love within you; and tips on everything from sex, self-worth, and nourishing friendships to navigating breakups and learning to truly love yourself. Ultimately, you'll be able to see your ideal partner in a new light-not as someone who 'completes' you, but as someone who mirrors back to you your own wholeness. 'Meggan and Lodro offer the most treasured gift-a pathway to learn to love yourself no matter what.' Gabrielle Bernstein,New York Times best-selling author of Miracles Now

Spiritual Advice for Modern Relationships

How to Love Yourself (and Sometimes Other People)

From the author of the best-selling Buddha Walks into a Bar . . ., tips for living with integrity, compassion, and happiness—from his popular Huffington Post advice column. Since the summer of 2010, young Buddhist teacher Lodro Rinzler has been writing a popular advice column for the Huffington Post and the Interdependence Project called "What Would Sid Do?" ("Sid" being Lodro's nickname for Siddhartha Gautama—the prince who became the Buddha). Lodro's insightful and often funny answers to questions—ranging from how to forgive, to how to deal with a boss who's a bully, to whether or not it's OK to join Match.com—have made him the Dear Abby of the spiritual-but-not-religious crowd. This book gathers all of Lodro's Huffington Post columns, along with much as-yet-unpublished material, to provide a guide to life in a Q&A format that allows you to easily access wisdom for dealing with the myriad challenges of life—traditional challenges as well as uniquely modern ones related to things like social justice and social media.

Sitzen wie ein Buddha

Comment s’aimer soi-même (et parfois les autres) est un guide intelligent et branché, qui s’adresse aux personnes en quête de spiritualité, qui désirent vivre plus d’amour et de stabilité dans toutes les formes de relations. Présenté en adoptant le point de vue unique des auteurs, Meggan Watterson et Lodro Rinzler, ce livre explique comment s’ancrer dans l’amour de soi alors que l’on parcourt le cycle naturel (et parfois tumultueux) d’une relation amoureuse. Leurs perspectives complémentaires, en tant qu’enseignants et spécialistes du mysticisme chrétien et du Bouddhisme, provoquent un dialogue riche et fascinant qui traite de tout, depuis la sexualité, l’estime de soi, l’amitié profonde, la naissance de l’amour et son déclin, jusqu’à la rupture — et comment garder un coeur ouvert à travers tout cela. À la base, ce livre enseigne comment s’aimer soi-même, inconditionnellement. Meggan et Lodro affirment que vous êtes digne d’amour — tant le vôtre que celui d’autrui. Ils ne prétendent pas vous apprendre l’art de faire tomber telle personne en amour avec vous, ils ne se posent pas en experts qui vous feront vivre la «relation parfaite». Ce sont des enseignants spirituels, qui savent que les relations ont leur vie propre et qui peuvent expliquer dans un langage humain ce que cela signifie de les expérimenter pleinement. Ce faisant, ils partagent avec nous des anecdotes profondément personnelles, révélatrices et franches. Ils décrivent aussi quelques exercices spirituels pour vous accompagner à travers les inévitables flux et reflux de l’amour, dans toutes ses manifestations.
