Book Description
'The world is impermanent; the earth is perilously fragile.' ~ The Sutra of the Eight Realizations of Great Beings As unenlightened beings, we are easily pulled this way and that by our conditions. In our state of confusion, we unwittingly pursue fame, fortune, desire, and pleasure. How many of us truly take time to contemplate the meaning of our lives? The Sutra of the Eight Realizations of Great Beings contains the fundamental practices allowing us to make the most of our potential as human beings. In her explanation of the text, Dharma Master Cheng Yen uses stories from the Buddha's time and our days to relate these teachings to modern life. In this way, she lays out a path for how to grow in compassion and wisdom by going among people to help those in suffering.

The Eight Realizations of Great Beings
Author: Brother Phap Hai
Publisher: Parallax Press
ISBN: 1946764876
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
A pithy guide to the Buddha's instructions to unlock the powerful insights that make us "great"—by wise, warm, and humorous Brother Phap Hai, the most senior Australian Dharma teacher ordained by Thich Nhat Hanh In this essential sutra for sincere practitioners, the Buddha says, "If you would like to be enlightened, take on these eight subjects for meditation and apply their corresponding insights to your daily life." Brother Phap Hai's lively, down-to-earth explanation of spirituality's original self-help manual makes this book a must-read for all seeking inspiration on the path of self-realization and compassion. Beginning with a brief historical overview of the sutra's origins, Brother Phap Hai explores each of the eight realizations and shares a story in each chapter from his own journey to become a monk himself. Ordaining as a Buddhist monk in 1997 while still in his twenties, Brother Phap Hai has been practicing mindfulness on a daily basis for much of his adult life. Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh authorized him to teach in 2003, and since then, he has guided and mentored thousands of students in meditation. Brother Phap Hai calls the Buddha's Discourse on the Eight Realizations of Great Beings his "'Desert Island Sutra' because it distills the essence of the Buddhist path." In his words, it is everything you need in a practical meditation manual, "a very structured exposition of realizing the entirety of the Buddhist path for yourself."
