Artha-shastra is about generating food, i.e. wealth, by creating goods and services; Kama-shastra is about indulging our hungers with this food. Dharma-shastra insists we consider the hunger of others, while Moksha-shastra is about outgrowing our hungers, in order to be detached and generous. Together, these four Hindu shastras provide a framework within which human action, its purposes and consequences, can be defined; together, they validate human existence and give it meaning.

Come possiamo vivere meglio, appieno, e trovare il senso profondo della nostra esistenza? Come possiamo sentirci felici nonostante i problemi e le preoccupazioni quotidiane? Questo audiolibro cerca di dare qualche risposta a queste domande, di farci vedere la vita da un altro punto di vista, di darci una mano in questi tempi in cui l'incertezza sembra essere l'unica certezza. Che siamo buddisti o meno, alla fine non ha alcuna importanza. L'importante è che possiamo dare e trovare la lifefulness, la felicità in questo mondo. Tutto il resto è secondario. Felicità in questo mondo.

Aber wo genau ist "zu Hause?" Und könnte man sich nicht vielleicht auch in der Fremde daheim fühlen? Der kleine Buddha überlegt, was "zu Hause" sein wirklich bedeutet. Dazu begibt er sich von seinem Lieblingsplatz unter dem Bodhi-Baum auf eine weitere Reise und damit zugleich auf die abenteuerliche Suche nach der eigenen Heimat. Unterwegs trifft der kleine Buddha über die Begegnung mit verschiedenen Menschen auch auf ganz unterschiedliche Ansichten und Vorstellungen vom eigenen Zuhause: "Zuhause" kann ein Ort sein, aber auch die ganze Welt, eine einzelne Person, vielleicht nur ein Gefühl.

We are face to face with this great world, and our relations to it are manifold. One of these is the necessity we have to live, to till the soil, to gather food, to clothe ourselves, to get materials from nature. We are always making things that will satisfy our needs, always in touch with this great world through hunger and thirst. Then, we have our mind; and our mind seeks its own food. It must find out reason in things, faced with a multiplicity of facts, and bewildered when it cannot find one unifying principle which simplifies the heterogeneity of things.

Every human being is living a life, but how much humanity does he have? Birth, education, job, marriage, kids, family and at the end... death! Is this the standard cycle of life that has to be followed? What is the ultimate goal of such a life? Why do we take birth? What do we want? The human body that we have received... should do the duty of being humane. There should be humanity in life. But what is humanity? According to Param Pujya Dadashri, the Gnani Purush (the enlightened One). The definition of humanity is that when someone hurts you, troubles you, you don’t like it.

In Game of Life, Kin Lau examines disparate ideas from philosophy, psychology, and religions from both East and West that can engage the individual on a common path. The game of life is to be played in two modes. One mode is playing as a human, which is the mode we are exerting all of our time and effort. For a more complete and integrated way of living, human beings need to rediscover the other mode. The other mode is about our being, which involves understanding the nature of reality.

Caring is something we and our world urgently need. We know real caring when we experience it, but our way of life - or perhaps our way of relating to our minds - seems to leave us feeling profoundly uncared for. Lacking care ourselves, we begin to lose our ability to care for others.

"Penetre" heißt der Kater, der so seltsam ist wie sein Name. Er spricht die Sprache der Menschen, doch worüber diese gewöhnlich reden, spricht er nie. Noch kein einziges Mal hat man ihn sagen hören, dass er hungrig sei oder müde. Dafür geht es um Fragen wie: Warum lebt der Mensch?, Was ist Glück?, Muss man zur Arbeit gehen?, Ist die Erde wirklich rund? oder Was passiert, wenn wir sterben? Seine Meinungen unterscheiden sich vollkommen von denen der Menschen.
