>> John Paul II Hospital & Research <<
The > Jagiellonian University < (Polish: Uniwersytet Jagielloński, often shortened to UJ; historical names: Latin: Studium Generale, Kraków Academy, The Main Crown School, Main School of Kraków, Kraków University) was established in 1364 by Casimir III the Great in Kraków. It is the oldest institution of higher education in Poland, the second oldest university in Central Europe and one of the oldest universities in Europe.
Culture, Religion, and Ethnomedicine discusses various interdependencies between culture, religion, and health with a concentration on Tibetan culture. Igor Pietkiewicz uses an example of the Tibetans in exile to explain how culture affects illness behavior, including perception of sickness and treatment methods, as well as the choice of an appropriate cure. The book also touches upon the problem of migration and various risk factors associated with adjustment of ethnic minorities in a host country. It elaborates on the issues not limited to a single refugee community, but universal in a world that is becoming a global village. Students planning to do qualitative research in social sciences will find this book valuable. Students can learn how to select data and get information about data sources, analysis, and management from the chapter on qualitative research methodology. This book will also be helpful to health practitioners who treat individuals representing other cultures as well those interested in health issues in multi-cultural settings.

ADVAITA ON ZEN AND TAO
> Advaita On Zen And Tao – Book <
Insights On Huang Po And Lao Tzu
We are at a unique moment in the evolution of spirituality. For centuries, sages of various traditions around the world have been expressing the Truth of non-duality; and their disciples have been faithfully preserving the teachings and passing them on. But it is only now, in this era of advances in mass communication, that it has become possible for a living sage of one tradition, to produce commentaries inspired by the mystical traditions of another.
Imagine if > Chuang Tzu < had written a commentary on the > ‘Bhagavad Gita’ < , or if the sage Jnaneshwar had produced reflections on the > ‘Heart Sutra’ < ! Within these pages a similar dream has been realised – commentaries on the teachings of the revered > Zen Master Huang Po <, and a modern ‘Book of the Way’ inspired by Lao Tzu’s ‘Tao Te Ching’, both written by Advaita Master Ramesh S. Balsekar.
The repetition of tradition cannot be termed as wrong, but when the teaching is embodied the teacher is at liberty to put it in his own words instead – because he is It.
Ramesh’s words bridge the apparent gap of centuries and geographical boundaries, revealing the hidden Truth behind the illusion of time and space: Advaita, Zen, and Tao.
Ramesh Balsekar, author of over 20 books, discusses the Indian philosophy of Advaita daily at his residence in Mumbai, with visitors from around the world. The basic concept is that “all there is, is Consciousness;” all actions are happenings, the functioning of the Primal Energy, and not the doing by anyone. He has a unique focus on what we all have to deal with in our daily living. His teaching has impacted the lives of many people.

Green Dharma by Georg and Brenda Feuerstein >>FREE PDF DOWNLOAD <<: It brings us joy to make Green Dharma a free download for two simple reasons:
First, the environmental crisis is extremely severe, and green action is of the utmost urgency. We are hoping that our book might stimulate its readers into appropriate attitudinal change and responsible action. Publishing this book through regular channels would take too long to reach the public, as well as destroy a large number of trees and add to pollution.
Second, we feel it is more appropriate to not charge for a book that shares the Buddha Dharma.

PAYUL LING – Trad. Bhuddist Yoga Centers
His Holiness Karma Kuchen Rinpoche
>> Guru Yoga, Meditation Teaching <<
Importance of the Oral Transmission
A Teaching given by H.H. Penor Rinpoche in Berkeley, California July 19, 1996
Regardless of the particular level of teaching or practice that we are discussing in the Buddhist tradition, whether it be Hinayana, Mahayana or Vajrayana, the process of spiritual development is one of the student relying upon a teacher. We may call that teacher a lama, a guru, or whatever, but the essential point is that there is an oral transmission that takes place in which a teacher teaches the student: the student listens to the teachings, absorbs their meaning and puts them into practice.
There is a reason for this emphasis on an oral transmission. From the time of the Buddha up to the present day, the buddha dharma has always been transmitted and meant to be transmitted orally, ensuring that there is a living tradition that is still embued with the blessing and power of the original teachings. It also guards against the possibility of so-called teachers simply coming up with their own ideas. Instead, the teacher passes on a proven tradition of teachings.
This makes the buddha dharma different from other kinds of learning where it may be possible for people to innovate. In such realms of learning it may be appropriate to come up with new systems of thought or to introduce new ideas. But when we are talking about the buddha dharma, every teaching must connect with the original teachings of the Buddha in order for a teaching to be valid. The teachings cannot be something that someone is simply coming up with on their own. The teachings are something that the teacher passes on.
Similarly, in other types of human knowledge it may be permissible to present information in a manner as entertaining and pleasing as possible. But although it is important for dharma teachings to be presented in a manner which is pleasant to hear, it is most important that the transmitted teachings have the power to bless and influence those who hear them in a positive way – not only in this lifetime, but in future lifetimes as well. So even though the teaching of the dharma should be elegant and well-presented, what is most important is the blessing of the essential message.
Palyul Centers are located around the globe, providing the facilities for learning and practicing the teachings of the Buddha.

THE THREE VEHICLES

„The difference between the wise Buddhist and the sectarian Buddhist is like that between the vastness of space and the narrowness of a vase.“ -Kongtrul Rinpoche
INTRODUCTION
„Somebody once asked how one could fit together various traditions that represented the Buddha’s teaching. One can think of Buddha’s Dharma as a wonderful seed planted in the earth, out of which has blossomed a tree with deep roots, great branches, leaves, flowers, and fruits. Sometimes a person might point to the roots and say that it is just here that we can find the real Dharma, while someone else might say, „Oh no it is in the flowers,“ and still another will say that it is to be found in the fruit. But, of course, these different parts cannot really be separated; the roots sustain the tree in their way, and the fruit depends on the roots and leaves and branches as well.“ -Lama Govinda
In order to clarify the variations between the many different schools and traditions of Buddhism, the schools are often divided into the three Yanas (Skt.), meaning ‚Vehicles‘ or ‚Paths‘. These three are; the Hinayana, Mahayana and Tantrayana.
Within the various vehicles, much variation can still exist, which is further explained in the pages that deal with the traditions, like Zen and Tibetan Buddhism.
A major reason for this development of different schools within Buddhism may be that the Buddha taught for decades. Given the vast amount of teachings it is not easy to unanimously decide what the exact interpretation of all teachings should be, or even how to summarise hem logically.
Depending on who the Buddha would be teaching to, the explanation would be quite different and sometimes seemingly contradictory. This can be understood as skilful means; a satisfying explanation to a learned philosopher is probably too complex for an uneducated person. On top of this, the Buddha clearly stated that he did not just intend to teach a doctrine, but intended to show the path that people can follow for their own development. This intention ultimately leads to the point where every individual has to decide which practices to follow and how to interpret the teachings, rather than adhering to a fixed doctrine.

THE HOLY BODHI TREE
>> BODHI TREE – Pappelfeige <<
(Heiliger Feigenbaum; Bodhi-Baum; Ficus religiosa)
> Hildegard v. Bingen-PHYSIKA ,De Arboribus.About Trees, Chap. 3 <
>> THE BODHI TREE & GAUTAMA <<
The Bodhi Tree, also known as Bo (from the Sinhalese Bo), was a large and very old Sacred Fig tree (Ficus religiosa) located in Bodh Gaya (about 100 km (62 mi) from Patna in the Indian state of Bihar), under which Siddhartha Gautama, the spiritual teacher and founder of Buddhism later known as Gautama Buddha, achieved enlightenment, or Bodhi. In religious iconography, the Bodhi tree is recognizable by its heart-shaped leaves, which are usually prominently displayed. It takes 100 – 3,000 years for a bodhi tree to fully grow.[citation needed]
The term „Bodhi tree“ is also widely applied to currently existing trees, particularly the Sacred Fig growing at the Mahabodhi Temple, which is allegedly a direct descendant of the original specimen. This tree is a frequent destination for pilgrims, being the most important of the four main Buddhist pilgrimage sites. Other holy Bodhi trees which have a great significance in the history of Buddhism are the Anandabodhi tree in Sravasti and the Bodhi tree in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. Both are believed to have been propagated from the original Bodhi tree.
In den Berichten des Buddha über seine Erleuchtung ist mit keinem Wort davon die Rede, daß ihm die Erkenntnis unter einem Baum gekommen sei. Einige Buddhismus-Forscher halten daher den Baum als Ort der Bodhi für ungeschichtlich und mutmaßen, daß vorbuddhistische Baumkulte in den Buddhismus Eingang gefunden hätten. Aber ist es nicht völlig natürlich, daß ein hausloser Wandermendikant, wo immer er sich niederläßt, dies unter einem Baum tut, der ihn nachts vor dem Tau und tags vor der subtropischen Sonne beschirmt? Daß Siddhattha seine zur Erleuchtung rührenden Betrachtungen am Fuß eines Baumes anstellte, muß man als selbstverständlich ansehen, und daß er diesen Baum, der zufällig ein Assattha war, an seinen herzförmigen Blättern mit der langen, seitlich abgebogenen Spitze als Assattha oder Pippala erkannte und dies, zum Buddha geworden, vor seinen Mönchen beiläufig erwähnte, hat so hohe Wahrscheinlichkeit, daß man es getrost als historisch ansehen darf.

Lama Thubten Yeshe – Discovering Buddhism
>> DISCOVERING BUDDHISM <<
The Discovering Buddhism Series is designed to be viewed on its own or as supplementary material for anyone following the Discovering Buddhism at Home program. Each of the thirteen 30 minute segments is introduced by Richard Gere or Keanu Reeves.
>> Lama Thubten Yeshe << (1935–1984) was a Tibetan lama who, while exiled in Nepal, co-founded Kopan Monastery (1969) and the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (1975). He followed the Gelugpa tradition, and was considered unconventional in his teaching style.
Lama Yeshe was born near the Tibetan town of Tolung Dechen, but was sent to Sera Monastery in Lhasa at the age of six. He received full ordination at the age of 28 from Kyabje Ling Rinpoche. Jeffrey Paine reports that Lama Yeshe deliberately refused the geshe degree, despite having studied for it:
Many years later, when pressed why he had shunned this prestigious degree, he would laugh: „And be Geshe Yeshe?“[1]
Sera Monastery did award him an honorary geshe degree in the early 80s. He also used to joke that he was a Tibetan hippie: „I dropped out!“
Gorakshanath the Originar of Hatha-Yoga
Gorakhnath or Gorakshanatha Saivism is also known as Siddha Siddhanta and Nath tradition. It was founded by Gorakshanatha (Gorakhnath) who lived about 10th century AD. He is believed to be 3rd, 4th or 5th in a line of 12 prominent teachers of this tradition, which has followers in both Buddhism and Hinduism.
He was said to be a disciple of Matsyendranatha who was from in Nepal. Followers of this tradition believe that knowledge of this tradition was received by Matsyendranath directly from Siva himself. Gorakshanatha is credited with such works as Siddha Siddhanta Paddhathi and Viveka Martanda. He composed them in Hindi. He also created 12 monastic orders across Northern India in an effort to preserve the Adinatha tradition.
Other important works of this tradition are Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Gheranda Samhita, Siva Samhita and Jnanamrita.
Also known as Gorakhnath – regarded as the originator of hatha yoga!
The school was predominantly ascetic and adapted many practices of the Pasupatha tradition and the Adinatha Tradition in contrast to the Nandinatha tradition followed in the south. Although it is a tantric tradition, it differs from many left-handed (vamachara) schools of tantra with its uncompromising emphasis on the practice of brahmacharya or celibacy and its stand against the use of sexual energy in yogic practices. In the past this tradition enjoyed some Muslim following in the northern India and some of them even became heads of monasteries.
The Gorakshanatha tradition brought to light many secrets of hatha yoga, kundalini yoga and samadhi and contributed to their present day popularity. Members of this tradition also dabble in occult sciences and siddhis or super natural powers.
Followers of this tradition believe that it would be possible through yogic practices to prolong human life and become immortal in the physical body (kayasiddhi). They believe that through the practice of hathayoga it is possible to channel breath energy through a web of nerves or nadis and acquire occult powers as well as achieve liberation. No one knows for sure what these practices are except those who have been initiated into them. Some followers of this tradition claim to have seen or interacted with beings who are several hundreds of years old. There are claims that Gorakshanatha, the original founder of the school, is still alive and active in our earth plane but does not appear in public.
Followers of the tradition believe that Siva is the material and efficient cause of creation and that after liberation the jivas would return to Siva, like bubbles in water. Oneness with Siva can be experienced by serious practitioners of yoga in a deep state of samadhi. Once the state of samadhi is reached, an individual would remain forever established in transcendental consciousness even while engaged in the mundane affairs of the outside world.
The tradition is still active in many parts of India and abroad and its followers range from mendicants and street magicians to the most obscure ascetics living in the Himalayas.
The popularity of hatha yoga, pranayama, kundalini yoga, holistic medicine, astrology and ayurveda in the modern world can be attributed to a great extent to this tradition.
The International Nath Order is draws its inspiration from the ancient Natha tradition, although it strives to propagate its teachings mostly outside India.
It was founded in 1978 by Guru Mahendranath in order to share the knowledge of his own spiritual awakening and also the wisdom of the ancient tantric schools of Hinduism and Buddhism.
