In this masterwork of an authentic spirit person” (Thomas Berry), Buddhist teacher and anthropologist Joan Halifax Roshi delves into the fruitful darkness”the shadow side of being, found in the root truths of Native religions, the fecundity of nature, and the stillness of meditation. In this highly personal and insightful odyssey of the heart and mind, she encounters Tibetan Buddhist meditators, Mexican shamans, and Native American elders, among others. In rapt prose, she recounts her explorationsfrom Japanese Zen meditation to hallucinogenic plants, from the Dogon people of Mali to the Mayan rain forest, all the while creating "an adventure of the spirit and a feast of wisdom old and new” (Peter Matthiessen). Halifax believes that deep ecology (which attempts to fuse environmental awareness with spiritual values) works in tandem with Buddhism and shamanism to discover the interconnectedness of all life,” and to regain life’s sacredness. Grove Press is proud to reissue this important work by one of Buddhism’s leading contemporary teachers. 221 kr

The Buddhist approach to death can be of great benefit to people of all backgrounds—as has been demonstrated time and again in Joan Halifax’s decades of work with the dying and their caregivers. Inspired by traditional Buddhist teachings, her work is a source of wisdom for all those who are charged with a dying person’s care, facing their own death, or wishing to explore and contemplate the transformative power of the dying process. Her teachings affirm that we can open and contact our inner strength, and that we can help others who are suffering to do the same.- E-bokEngelska, 2022

Roshi Joan Halifax has enriched countless lives of millions around the world through her work as a social activist, anthropologist, and Buddhist teacher. Over many decades, she has also collaborated with neuroscientists, clinicians, and psychologists to understand how contemplative practice can be a vehicle for social transformation. This work led her to an understanding of how our greatest challenges can become the most valuable source of our wisdom - and how we can transform suffering into the power of compassion for the benefit of others.Halifax has identified five psychological territories she calls Edge States - altruism, empathy, integrity, respect, and engagement - that epitomise strength of character. Yet each of these states can also be the cause of personal and social suffering. In this way, these five psychological experiences form edges, and it is only when we stand at these edges that we become open to the full range of our human experience and discover who we really are. Recounting the experiences of caregivers, activists, humanitarians, politicians, parents, and teachers, incorporating the wisdom of Zen traditions and mindfulness practices, and rooted in Halifax’s ground-breaking research on compassion, STANDING AT THE EDGE is destined to become a contemporary classic. A powerful guide on how to find the freedom we seek for others and ourselves, it is a book that will serve us all. - E-bokEngelska, 2018

Durante décadas Joan Halifax ha colaborado con neurocientíficos, médicos y psicólogos para comprender cómo la práctica contemplativa puede ser un vehículo para la transformación social.Halifax ha identificado cinco experiencias psicológicas que denomina "estados límite" (altruismo, empatía, integridad, respeto y compromiso), que personifican la fuerza de nuestro carácter y en las que reside nuestro verdadero potencial. Solo cuando nos encontramos en estos límites nos abrimos a todas las posibilidades de la experiencia humana y descubrimos quiénes somos realmente. Sin embargo, cada uno de estos estados también puede ser la causa del sufrimiento personal y social: el altruismo puede llegar a ser patológico, la empatía puede convertirse en angustia, la integridad en sufrimiento moral, el respeto en irreverencia y el compromiso puede resultar en exceso de trabajo y agotamiento. ¿Cómo podemos evitar caer en estas trampas y encontrar el equilibro entre estas fuerzas opuestas? La autora ofrece una guía práctica para transitar el umbral del cambio y superar el miedo.Múltiples experiencias de cuidadores, activistas humanitarios, políticos y maestros, combinadas con la sabiduría de las tradiciones del Zen, el mindfulness y la innovadora investigación de Halifax sobre la compasión, hacen de Al borde del abismo un libro destinado a convertirse en un clásico contemporáneo. Una guía poderosa sobre cómo encontrar la libertad que buscamos para los demás y para nosotros mismos.
