Wisdom Is Bliss

Four Friendly Fun Facts That Can Change Your Life

De: Robert Thurman

Narrado por: Robert Thurman PhD

"Robert Thurman is a living treasure, one of today's most provocative spiritual thinkers." (Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence)

Robert Thurman, the preeminent scholar and interpreter of Tibetan Buddhist philosophy for the modern world, leads us on a joyful exploration into the nature of reality through Buddha's threefold curriculum of "super-education".

"Buddha had to be an educator, rather than a prophet or religion founder, since he had achieved his goal of exact and complete understanding of reality by using reason, experiments to open his own mind, and vision to do so," Thurman writes. "From his own experience, he could help [others] as a teacher by streamlining the process. He could not just transplant his realization into their minds. They could not get their own realizations just by believing whatever he said. He could only provide them with a prospect of full realization along a path of learning and experiencing they could follow-they would have to travel on their own."

This book is your invitation to travel that same road. Deeply felt and bracingly direct, it doesn't teach about the teaching - it is the teaching. Get ready to get real, and have fun along the way, as you chart a path to reliable, lasting happiness.

Warmly warmly recomended!

It would be so good, so good, if everyone on our planet read this book.

Brilliant instructor

Loved the use of stories to illustrate Buddhist principles. Appreciated the definition of terms in the context of modern life

My practice and understanding has greatly deepened and I am full of gratitude

This book brings so much depth that brings the Buddhist practices into a coherent whole. It also contains many clarifications of common, well known terminologies that provided me with moments of clarity that moved my practice forward.

Most importantly is the deep sincerity to assist all readers that moves me. This sincerity in it self is like learning with a great spiritual friend who can teach on multiple levels if you are open to receive.

I am grateful for this book and professor Thurman.

Be Mindful of Your Next Life

We are not all Buddhas and some of us no where near that Christ Consciousness.
What can we do? Treat your neighbor with kindness. Send all the kindness you have to everyone around you and what will you receive? Kindness.
When all you have given is kindness you will live in an ocean of kindness. Kindness will grow and grow like no other. Let yourself feel and appreciate the kindness you have given and congratulate yourself for being kind.
Maybe our next incarnation will be Tibetan Monk.

A Jewel Tree of his own and for us all

Tenzin Bob is the Dylanesque troubadour of Tibetan Buddhist wisdom - evoking so much from the depths of consciousness and singing it out to the world. An immense journey you will never forget, with a surprising (then totally understandable) ending: listening to Bob REALLY describing his acknowledgements brought tears to my eyes. Tuchi che!

enjoyed and appreciated this book very much.

Bob Thurman is an indispensable resource for translating the teachings of the Buddha and Tibetan culture into modern day language. I enjoyed this book very much. was a pleasure to listen to the humor and passion in his voice.

Mind-blowing teaching and teacher!

I'm inspired to turn towards the 'sufferer' in me whenever complaining mental noise arises.

What a gift!

This lovely book, read by Thurman himself, shows how the ‘super education’ of the Buddha is both accessible and incredibly relevant to modern people, regardless of background or culture. It’s an enlightening, well organized, insightful overview of Buddhist teachings by an intercultural translator-genius, the sincere and delightful, Professor Robert Thurman. His description the Buddha’s teachings as a super education offers a fresh framing of the three trainings, the four noble truths, and the eightfold path as modern, holistic education in living. This very readable, yet in-depth vision could be equally valuable for deep divers and for those newly exploring Buddhist teachings, reality and the wonder of being. It’s a fabulous introduction and guide.

Thank you Tenzin Bob Thurman

I will be brief in saying that this first listening to Wisdom is Bliss was wonderful and life-impacting. Among the greatest books I’ve has the pleasure of experiencing. I regret not being in a position to Express my gratitude to Mr. Thurman directly for this mix of his personal experience and fresh look at the eightfold path. If you love Dharma, this is a book to savor.

Thank you Tenzin Bob.
