  7. Die Kunst, mit sich allein zu sein
    1. Stephen , Batchelor

    Die Kunst, mit sich allein zu sein

    In seinem Buch dokumentiert Batchelor seine Erkundungen in Form einer literarischen Collage. Inspirierende Geschichten über Menschen, für die das Mit-sich-Alleinsein eine zentrale Bedeutung hatte, um ihre eigene Stimme, ihren Selbstausdruck zu finden, von Buddha bis Montaigne, von Vermeer bis Agnes Martin, mischen sich mit persönlichen Erzählungen. Er berichtet von seinen Erfahrungen an abgelegenen Orten, schildert, wie sich für ihn Mit-sich-Alleinsein in der Wahrnehmung und im Schaffen von Kunst ausdrückt. Und er beschreibt, wie ihn meditative Praxis aber auch die Einnahme psychoaktiver Substanzen zu einer tieferen Vertrautheit mit dieser Dimension unseres Menschseins geführt haben. Als Menschen sind wir immer und unausweichlich allein und mit anderen zutiefst verbunden. Dieses Spannungsfeld ist in unserer hyperverbundenen Welt, die gleichzeitig von sozialer Isolation geplagt ist, mehr als deutlich erfahrbar. Stephen Batchelors Buch bietet inspirierende Denkanstöße und Anregungen, wie wir in Frieden mit uns allein sein können und uns aus diesem Raum heraus kreativ und in empathischer Zugeneigtheit auf die Anderen, auf die Welt beziehen können.

    1. Stephen Batchelor

    Buddhas langer Weg nach Europa

    STEPHEN BATCHELOR erzählt die 2500-jährige Geschichte, wie Buddhas Lehre auf abenteuerlichen Wegen von Indien nach Europa kam. Es ist eine Geschichte wie sie so noch nie vollständig erzählt wurde. Auf der Basis der verfügbaren historischen Quellen lässt der ehemalige Mönch, buddhistische Lehrer und Autor Stephen Batchelor bekannte und unbekannte Orte und Menschen lebendig werden, durch die sich östliche und westliche Kultur begegnet sind: buddhistische Lehrer, griechische Feldherren, portugiesische Missionare oder Hippies. Sie alle begleiteten einen Teil der Wegstrecke von Buddhas Lehre aus einem indischen Königreich bis in die europäischen Metropolen unserer Zeit. Buddhas Lehre war und ist ständig im Wandel. Lernen Sie aus diesem Blickwinkel die buddhistischen Traditionen und die zeitgenössischen säkularen Formen buddhistischer Praxis besser kennen und verstehen. Der Dalai Lama sagte über das Buch ¿Stephen Batchelors erhellende zeitliche Einordnung der Überlieferung buddhistischer Lehren im Westen ist eine unverzichtbare Lektüre für alle, die sich mit der Bedeutung religiöser Erfahrung in der modernen Welt beschäftigen".(Verlag Mittlerer Weg - www.buddhastiftung.de)

    Secular Buddhism

    Imagining the Dharma in an Uncertain World

    “Batchelor’s work will undoubtedly appeal to many ‘spiritual, but not religious’ readers.”—Publishers Weekly“Explores the complex implications of Buddhism’s secularisation.”—Tibet FoundationPraise for After Buddhism:   “Brilliant, illuminating, and thought-provoking, After Buddhism deserves the ultimate compliment for a work of this kind: it is useful. In probing the ancient scriptures in search of a Buddha we can relate to, Batchelor makes his dharma come thrillingly alive. A masterful achievement.”—Mark Epstein, author of Thoughts without a Thinker   “In this remarkable book, Stephen Batchelor transcends Buddhist dogma to surface a vision of the dharma that goes right to the heart of our contemporary global culture. Through diligent scholarship and years of practice, the author sheds new and revelatory light on the dharma. This is a must-read for all students of Buddhism.”—Joan Halifax, abbot, Upaya Zen Center   “With exemplary lucidity, Stephen Batchelor demonstrates the relevance of an ancient thought and practice in our own era. There is much in it that illuminates and clarifies—for those acquainted with Buddhism as well as those coming to it for the first time.”—Pankaj Mishra   “Drawing on insights gleaned during decades of intensive practice, study, and writing, Batchelor’s essays demonstrate conclusively how the ancient texts of Buddhism speak directly to the needs of contemporary people living active, engaged lives in the world.”—Robert E. Buswell, Jr., University of California, Los Angeles   “Stephen Batchelor is perhaps the finest and wisest guide in the world today to the complicated path that is combining Buddhism with humanism. For those of us who struggle with modern problems that cannot be solved by religion alone, this book will help if we are wondering what to do ‘after Buddhism.’”—Greg M. Epstein, author of Good without God   “An audacious disquisition on Buddhism, universal dharma, reality, and suffering for the 21st century. Batchelor posits that for the deep wisdom of Buddhism to serve humanity fully in our time, it may have to transcend itself.”—Jon Kabat-Zinn, author of Full Catastrophe Living and Coming to Our Senses
