Buch, das gelesen wurde, sich aber in einem guten Zustand befindet. Der Einband weist nur sehr geringfügige Beschädigungen auf, wie z.B. kleinere Schrammen, er hat aber weder Löcher, noch ist er eingerissen. Bei gebundenen Büchern ist der Schutzumschlag möglicherweise nicht mehr vorhanden. Die Bindung weist geringfügige Gebrauchsspuren auf. Die Mehrzahl der Seiten ist unbeschädigt, das heißt, es gibt kaum Knitter oder Einrisse, es wurden nur in geringem Maße Bleistiftunterstreichungen im Text vorgenommen, es gibt keine Textmarkierungen und die Randbereiche sind nicht beschrieben. Alle Seiten sind vollständig vorhanden. Genauere Einzelheiten sowie eine Beschreibung eventueller Mängel entnehmen Sie bitte dem Angebot des Verkäufers.

Endless Path: "Oh, such stories and commentaries! They stand side by side with the koans, the words and doings of the Zen masters of old and new, and together with them help us rise above narrowness and know a life of greater selflessness and affection, bringing peace to ourselves and the world. Svaha! Nine bows to Rafe Martin." -Danan Henry Roshi, founder and spiritual director of the Zen Center of Denver "Rafe Martin's retelling of the ancient jataka tales, and his insightful commentaries that relate the stories to our daily lives and the paramitas, is an inspiration. We hear a new voice here from the old storyteller and it brings great joy!" -Susan Ji-on Postal Sensei, teacher and spiritual director of the Empty Hand Zen Center, New Rochelle, NY "Endless Pathis a gem. Martin's enthusiasm for the jatakas leaps off each page, bringing the reader into a realm where the deepest truths are revealed by even the most humble creatures. This book should be required reading for all Buddhist practitioners-actually, for everyone!" -Sunyana Graef Sensei, Zen teacher and spiritual director of the Vermont Zen Center "ReadingEndless Path, I can actually hear a familiar voice coming alive, telling me stories of the Buddha's lives. The world I enter is vast, wonderful, inspiring! I love this book!!" -Hogen Bays Roshi, leader of Zen Community of Oregon and co-abbot of Great Vow Zen Monastery "Endless Pathis a treasure for all seekers of the Way! Rafe Martin relates wondrous ancient Buddha stories and then unravels them, delivering meaning for today's Western lay practitioners. A much-needed integration of the awesome past and our perplexing present. And a delightful read." -Roshi Pat Enkyo O'Hara, abbot of The Village Zendo, guiding spiritual teacher for the New York Center for Contemplative Care, and co-spiritual director of the Zen Peacemaker Family "As I work with designing the final pages done for Endless Path, I am struck with how much this book is a book of inspiration-a book to inspire others on the Buddhist path. … So many, many fine Buddhist books instruct, teach, even offer enlightened glimpses into the teachings. ButEndless Pathwill be a truly helpful book, in the sense of Avalokiteshvara's thousand outstretched hands, to fill those who read it with real heart's yearning, rededicated commitment, and excitement for the possibility-the endless path-it offers."-Richard Wehrman, illustrator and designer Also by Rafe Martin: The Banyan Deer: "TheBanyan Deershows that the lives of all living beings are equally important." -His Holiness the Seventeenth Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje "A sweet and sensitive story of courage, sacrifice, and kindness." -Dan Millman, author ofThe Way of the Peaceful Warrior Birdwing: "Extraordinary … The marvelous thing aboutBirdwingis that, given its highly literary origins, it is so tough, colloquial, funny and moving." -AWashington PostYear's Best Books "Martin deftly weaves fairy tale into fiction … The many original characters and unusual adventure scenes ensure that readers will remember this well-paced fantasy." -Booklist The Rough-Face Girl: "A welcome rediscovery of an American Indian Cinderella variant whose heroine is both a religious mystic and a seeker after true love." -NewsweekonThe Rough Face Girl Mysterious Tales of Japan: "A journey into a moral landscape of great power and subtlety." -Los Angeles Times Sunday Book Review, Endless Path: “Oh, such stories and commentaries! They stand side by side with the koans, the words and doings of the Zen masters of old and new, and together with them help us rise above narrowness and know a life of greater selflessness and affection, bringing peace to ourselves and the world.

He also acknowledges the role played by many different communities of listeners in refining how he tells the tales and reveals the insights that he and others have gained from each one& Endless Path is a truly insightful work& Accessible, inspired, and clearly marked by a generosity and foresight of spirit, it is a work well worth obtaining and keeping in one’s own private collection.� -BookPleasures.com “With Endless Path , Martin has found 10 Jataka tales that relate directly to the 10 paramitas (also known as the 10 perfections)& he brings them off the children’s shelf and into the lives of every modern-day Buddhist, young and old& Rafe Martin breathes fresh new life into these wonderful old tales, and in doing so, provides us with a much-needed perspective into our individual lives and practice& I wholeheartedly recommended this book to any practitioner out there.� -Adam, Fly Like a Crow “ Endless Path weaves together story, myth, and meaning to r

Synopsis
***WINNER, 2011 Storytelling World Resource Award - Best Storytelling Collection The jataka tales--stories of the Buddha's past lives (in both human and animal form)--were first said to have been told by the Buddha himself 2,500 years ago. Five hundred and fifty jataka tales comprise part of the oldest Buddhist text, the Pali Canon. From this wealth of folklore, award-winning author and storyteller Rafe Martin has chosen ten tales that illustrate the ideals of the Buddhist paramitas , or "perfections" of character: giving, morality, forbearance, vitality, focused meditation, wisdom, compassionate skillful means, resolve, strength, and knowledge. Artist and designer Richard Wehrman helps bring the spirit of these stories alive with rich illustrations that open each chapter. Endless Path presents these ancient stories, usually reduced to children's tales in the West, for adults, reconnecting modern seekers with the more imaginative roots of Buddhism. The jatakas help readers see their own lives, their failures and renewed efforts, in the same light as the challenges the Buddha faced--not as obstacles but as opportunities for developing character and self-understanding. Endless Path demonstrates the relevance of these tales to Buddhist lay practitioners today, as well as to those more broadly interested in Buddhist teaching and the ancient art of storytelling., ***WINNER, 2011 Storytelling World Resource Award - Best Storytelling Collection The jataka tales-stories of the Buddha's past lives (in both human and animal form)-were first said to have been told by the Buddha himself 2,500 years ago.
