Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche Bücher

Der bekannte tibetische Meister Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche verrät hier erstmalig eine effektive buddhistische Methode zum Umgang mit schwierigen Gefühlen. Mit seinem 3-Schritte-Programm lernt man Ärger oder Angst schon im Entstehen zu erkennen und zu transformieren. Aus buddhistischer Sicht sind alle Gefühle in ihrer Substanz neutrale, kreative Lebenskraft. Und die gilt es freizusetzen, denn befreite Energie ist frische Energie. Aus Ärger wird gute Laune, aus Angst wird Gelassenheit, und die Vitalitätskurve steigt an. Der Lebensratgeber bietet eine Menge Übungen – teils reflektierender, teils meditativer Art. Seit Tausenden von Jahren beobachten die Tibeter die Regungen des menschlichen Geistes und Herzens. Von diesen Erfahrungen können moderne westliche Menschen profitieren. Egal, ob Sie nur unter leichtem Gefühlschaos leiden oder einem gewaltigen inneren Aufruhr ausgesetzt sind: Sie selbst besitzen die Macht, um sich von verwirrenden Emotionen zu befreien. Hierzu bedarf es eines mentalen Trainings. Der Kern dieser Praxis besteht zunächst darin, seine Gefühle von Beginn an vollkommen klar wahrzunehmen. Aus dieser inneren Distanz heraus gelingt es dann, seinen Körper und seinen Geist in die Gefühle hinein zu entspannen. Und erst jetzt offenbart sich das ursprüngliche kreative Potenzial unserer Emotionen, und man schenkt sich selbst eine große Portion zusätzlicher Lebenskraft und Freude.

Mahamudra and Dzogchen are perhaps the most profound teachings within all of Tibetan Buddhism. The experience of Mahamudra, or "great symbol," is an overwhelming sense of extraordinary clarity, totally open and nondualistic. Dzogchen, or "great perfection," is the ultimate teaching according to the Nyingma tradition and also represents the pinnacle of spiritual development. These are the two paths that provide practitioners with the most skillful means to experience the fully awakened state and directly taste the reality of our mind and environment. And yet these concepts are notoriously difficult to grasp and challenging to explain. In Wild Awakening, Tibetan Buddhist master Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche presents these esoteric teachings in a style that reveals their surprising simplicity and great practical value, emphasizing that we can all experience our world more directly, with responsibility, freedom, and confidence. With a straightforward approach and informal style, he presents these essential teachings in a way that even those very new to Tibetan Buddhism can understand.

The reason we rely on the Vajra master is that we have already tried many different methods to wake ourselves up, but none of them really worked. We set our alarm clock for the next morning and then in the morning it beeps with a very unconfident beep. When this feeble beep happens, our great samsaric command is to move a hand with tremendous habitual power and press the snooze button. Then we go back to our comfortable samsaric sleep. We go back again to the dreams and nightmares to which we are attached. Fifteen minutes later, the alarm clock beeps again. Again we press the snooze button. We don't have this faith, this confidence, in the inconceivable truth that can wake us up. This goes on for ages. That's why the Hinayana and Mahayana journeys take so long. With deep compassion, sharp observations, and arresting metaphors, the Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche explicates The Aspiration of Samantabhadra for both new and experienced practitioners. This Dzogchen prayer explores the different manifestations of rigpa, our basic awareness in daily life, and constitutes a set of instructions for refining the path of practice. Given as a series of talks in Germany and the United States, Penetrating Wisdom includes the text of the prayer, Rinpoche's always-lively commentary, and lucid answers to questions posed by his students.

There’s a rebel within you. It’s the part of you that already knows how to break free of fear and unhappiness. This rebel is the voice of your own awakened mind. It’s your rebel buddha—the sharp, clear intelligence that resists the status quo. It wakes you up from the sleepy acceptance of your day-to-day reality and shows you the power of your enlightened nature. It’s the vibrant, insightful energy that compels you to seek the truth.Dzogchen Ponlop guides you through the inner revolution that comes from unleashing your rebel buddha. He explains how, by training your mind and understanding your true nature, you can free yourself from needless suffering. He presents a thorough introduction to the essence of the Buddha’s teachings and argues that, if we are to bring these teachings fully into our personal experience, we must go beyond the cultural trappings of traditional Asian Buddhism. “We all want to find some meaningful truth about who we are,” he says, “but we can only find it guided by our own wisdom—by our own rebel buddha within.”
