finding the emergency exit with the Buddha

Produktbeschreibung

This book isn't actually a book as such; instead, it's a compilation of lectures given to a group of prison inmates with an interest in Buddhism. The lectures describe a journey of self- (and other!) discovery. The Buddha also has something to say to those of us who aren't in prison. You'll find Buddha images wherever peace, relaxation and wellbeing are evoked, be it in display windows, as garden ornaments or as decorative tealights. Written with a light touch and with plenty of humour, these talks offer a general overview of the Buddha's teachings. Whether you're "inside" or "outside", if you'd like to know how to approach yourself and the world in a more relaxed way, why not come with me on this journey to the emergency exit from the prison of your own mind? Their informal style means that these lectures are suitable for anyone who enjoys a chuckle or two while reading.

Autorenporträt

You'll always find me somewhere - always fully immersed in my rich and diverse life. I grew up in a travel agency dynasty and worked myself for many years in a travel agency. I've travelled a lot - and continue to do so with great enthusiasm. It was a trip to Tibet over 30 years ago that kindled my interest in Buddhism, and I completed a seven-year course of study at the Tibetisches Zentrum e.V., whose patron is H. H. the Dalai Lama. I still take part in other Buddhist courses and seminars to this day. I have on many occasions given talks and led courses in Buddhism, including one in the prison in Berlin-Tegel. It was a series of talks I held at the prison that gave rise to my book "We're all imprisoned - finding the emergency exit with the Buddh)". I've been supporting inmates in a voluntary capacity for over 15 years. Speaking from the perspective of my Christian background, I've always been very attracted by the idea of brotherly love. I'm very open in general to other cultures and religions - and to science, especially astronomy. After having had a lot of jobs working in various fields, I worked for many years in the waste disposal industry, which is why I have opted for print on demand. This means that a book is only printed once it has been ordered, which is much better for the environment. In other words, if you aren't one for e-books, you can happily buy my printed book without feeling guilty about its environmental impact.
