Hạnh Nhat Libros

El poder de la plegaria habla de las diversas clases de oración que existen y de las diferentes funciones que desempeñan, y nos ofrece una guía para profundizar en nuestra práctica espiritual a través de la plegaria. La última obra de Thich Nhat Hanh es una extraordinaria celebración de la espiritualidad y demuestra lo importante que es rezar en la vida cotidiana. El poder de la plegaria revela cómo la energía de la oración y la meditación nos permiten volver a conectar con nuestro yo más elevado al mismo tiempo que satisfacemos nuestra necesidad básica de relacionarnos con el mundo. La necesidad de rezar es universal. No se conoce ninguna cultura en la que no exista la oración. La gente reza cuando está feliz y triste, en las celebraciones y en las defunciones, con la paz y con la guerra, en las catedrales y en los coches. Los seres humanos, al parecer, llevamos la oración en la sangre.

«¿Qué significa poder para nosotros? ¿Por qué la mayoría de personas están dispuestas a hacer prácticamente cualquier cosa por conseguirlo?. Nuestra sociedad se basa en una definición muy limitada del poder, es decir, en el poder en tanto que riqueza, éxito profesional, fama, fuerza física, dominio militar y control político. El poder es útil sólo para una cosa: para incrementar nuestra felicidad y la felicidad de los demás. Estar en paz y ser felices es lo más importante en la vida y, sin embargo, la mayor parte del tiempo estamos sufriendo, nos dejamos llevar por nuestras ansias y miramos al pasado o al futuro en busca de la felicidad.»

For Buddhists seeking perfection, the Sanskrit word "nirvana" is held as the unreachable goal. But in this definitive, direct translation of the Chinese Dharmapada by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, nirvana is not what you think it is. "Nirvana is our daily business," Thich Nhat Hanh says. Based on talks given in his home monastery of Plum Village in France at the peak of his long teaching career, The Nirvana Chapter conveys Thich Nhat Hanh's insights on the 36 verses on nirvana in the Chinese Dharmapada. Described there as "the absence of notions that cause suffering," we discover that nirvana can be experienced at any time. Previously unavailable in English, these teachings on the experiential path which can help us touch nirvana are an "instant classic" for Buddhists and meditation practitioners. With his fluency in Classical Chinese and his knowledge of Sanskrit and Pali, Thich Nhat Hanh is the perfect guide to lead the way to a new understanding of nirvana for an international audience. Through his commentary, ranging freely in his vast knowledge of Vietnamese Buddhist history, we gain a master practitioner's view of a tradition of Zen Buddhism that has been, until now, inaccessible to Western students. We also gain insights into the elusive "space outside of space" of nirvana's ultimate dimension.
