Lodro Rinzler Knihy

Kdo z nás je úplně spokojený se svým životem? Všichni známe touhu po něčem, co nám chybí. Tento průvodce buddhismem, určený i pro ty, kteří nejsou buddhisté, nabízí inspiraci a humor pro ty, kdo se cítí duchovní, ale ne nutně věřící. Kniha vyzývá k soucitnějšímu životu, zpomalení a radosti. Autor Lodro Rinzler vysvětluje základní buddhistické principy prostřednictvím každodenních situací, jako je ovládání špatné nálady, překonání nešťastné lásky, láska k vlastnímu tělu a odolávání pokušení kupovat zbytečné věci. Inspiraci čerpá z vlastností silných zvířat. Například tygr, elegantní a silný, nám pomáhá zkrotit silné emoce a čelit agresivním lidem, kteří nás vyčerpávají. Naopak sněžný lev s otevřeným srdcem nám ukazuje, jak vycházet s ostatními, včetně rodiny. Autor chytře propojuje dávné příběhy tibetského buddhismu se současností, ukazuje, jak příběh prince Siddharty souvisí s moderními problémy, a jak se lze setkat s Buddhou i v baru. Kniha je určena všem, kteří hledají rovnováhu a spokojenost v chaotickém světě.
