Buddhism is all about training the mind, and boot camp is an ideal training method for this generation's short attention span. The chapters in this small book can be read in any order, and are simple and easy to understand. Each story, inspirational quote, and teaching offers mindfulness-enhancing techniques that anyone can relate to. You don't need to be a Buddhist to find the Buddha's teachings motivational. As the Dalai Lama says, "Don't try to use what you learn from Buddhism to be a Buddhist; use it to be a better whatever-you-already-are." So whether it's Mother Teresa's acts of charity, Gandhi's perseverance, or your aunt Betty's calm demeanor, as long as you're motivated to be better today than you were yesterday, it doesn't matter who inspires you. Regardless of religion, geographical region, race, ethnicity, color, gender, sexual orientation, age, ability, flexibility, or vulnerability, if you do good you feel good, and if you do bad you feel bad. Buddhism isn't just about meditating. It's about rolling up your sleeves to relieve some of the suffering in the world. If you are ready to be a soldier of peace in the army of love, welcome to Buddhist Boot Camp!

Buddhist Boot Camp

The author uses his life experiences to illustrate his perspectives and insights into living a spiritual and mindful, and not religious, life.

Faithfully Religionless

L'objectif du bouddhisme est d'entraîner l'esprit et un boot camp est la méthode d'entraînement idéale pour la capacité d'attention limitée de notre génération. Les chapitres de ce petit livre sont une collection d'extraits de mon journal et de lettres envoyées à des amis pendant plusieurs années. C'est pourquoi chaque chapitre ne fait qu'une page; ils sont faciles à comprendre et peuvent être lus dans n'importe quel ordre. Chaque histoire, chaque citation qui inspire et chaque enseignement offre des techniques qui encouragent la pratique de la pleine conscience que tout le monde peut adopter et il n'est pas nécessaire d'être bouddhiste pour être motivé par les enseignements du Bouddha. Comme l'a dit le Dalai Lama: N'essayez pas d'utiliser ce que vous apprenez du bouddhisme pour devenir bouddhiste; utilisez-le pour être une meilleure version de vous-même. Qu'il s'agisse des actes de charité de Mère Teresa, de la persévérance de Gandhi ou de l'attitude sereine de votre tante Betty: peu importe qui vous inspire tant que vous êtes déterminé à être meilleur aujourd'hui que vous ne l'étiez hier. Quels que soient votre religion, votre pays, votre race, votre ethnicité, votre couleur, votre sexe, votre orientation sexuelle, votre âge, vos aptitudes, votre flexibilité ou votre fragilité vous vous sentez bien quand vous faites le bien et vous vous sentez mal quand vous faites du mal. Le bouddhisme ne se résume pas à la méditation. Le but est de relever vos manches pour soulager la souffrance du monde. Si vous êtes prêt à être un soldat de la paix dans l'armée de l'amour, soyez les bienvenus au Buddhist Boot Camp !

Une méthode simple pour apaiser l'esprit et découvrir la pleine-conscience

LE BUDDHIST BOOT CAMP

Mindfulness doesn't make other people less irritating, it makes us less irritable. I understand why you do what you do, because the ego in me sees the ego in you. Each chapter in this book is an episode from the Buddhist Boot Camp Podcast, offering food for thought about the non-judgmental benefits of recognizing and acknowledging both the ego and the divinity within us all. It's not about living in a bubble where nobody pushes your buttons, it's about getting to a point where you don't have any buttons that can be pushed.

The Opposite of Namaste

Buddhismus in allen Lebenslagen

Sit Happens

Discover the difference between feelings and emotions, the disparity between truths and facts, and the countless benefits of mindful living. When his pursuit of happiness in Corporate America feels counterproductive, Timber Hawkeye escapes the flourescent-lit hell of his cubicle in Seattle and sets out to fully embrace the stress-free lifestyle of Hawaii. Intrigued and curious about what people believe (and why they believe what they do), he questions everything he ever thought was true and discovers the beauty of letting go. If you consider yourself spiritual but not religious, then you're going to love this inspirational book. And if you want to lead a simple and uncomplicated life with happiness at your fingertips, then you'll want to read this page-turner more than once! "It's not that I'm against religion, I simply don't have one (nor do I believe that we need it to be ethical). My faith is doctrine-free, with a definition of God that doesn't conjure a white man in the sky who dispenses blessings for good behavior and harsh judgments to condemn the bad. That's because I don't believe God does that; religion does. You see, faith is a spiritual practice of continually letting go of certainty, of ego, and of the underlying need to know, while religion is a ceremonial tradition of hanging on, clinging to concrete dogmas, stubborn rigidity, and ageless rituals."
