The Buddhist Journey Companion



The Buddhist Journey Companion supports your journey

When I started out my journey into the Buddhist world, I felt completely lost. What is Buddhism? Simple question, but somehow it seemed like there are just too many answers to a simple question. 

Then we have different interpretations of Buddhism with different distribution routes and lineages. And on top, we have different sects within a country. All too confusing for a beginner. 

So I somehow started to dive in and put together all the pieces to the puzzle and managed to get a grip over where to find buddhist teachings, where monasteries are located, how to find retreat centers and how to find local meditation groups, what meditation apps are good to use, etc. It felt sometimes like an excursion through a jungle - without a proper framework or tools to assist the journey. 

To make your life a little easier, I am compiling a spread sheet with the most important resources I have stumbled upon over my explorations. So here it is. I call it the Buddhist Journey Companion.

Please comment if the list is useful for you or if you have any additions to the list of resources that helped you along the way.

How a simple reflection transforms your attitude towards food

Image
Is that chanting or just a chore? Wh en I spent time in Thailand in a monastery (Wat Pah Nanachat), we had our meals just once a day at around 8.30 am. And right before every meal, we sat down and chanted a food reflection in Pali. To be honest, it felt kind of strange and back then, I did not yet fully grasp the full power of this chant. Or maybe it was just the hunger creeping up on me after 23 hours and 30 minutes of fasting that clouded my brains. So here goes the chant in my favorite translated version: "With wise reflection I eat this food, n ot for fattening, not for beautification, o nly to maintain this body, t o stay alive and healthy, t o support the spiritual way of life. Thus I let go of unpleasant feelings, a nd do not stir up new ones. Thereby the process of life goes on. b lameless, at ease, and in peace." It felt like an empty chore. And I just took it as just one of the things you have to do.  A month later I left the monastery and went on a 10 day silent re...

Boost your practice with a free 6-week course in mindfulness

Image
  So after having meditated for some months, you might want to get additional information on how to make your meditation practicr more methodical and profound. I stumbled across the homepage of the Insight Meditation Center where you can find a lot of information and instructions about meditation. Well, you can find a lot of information about meditation online, but what made the difference is that there is a free 6 week training course in mindfulness that you can either do totally on your own or you can also do it with a personal assistant that you can ask for support during your 6 weeks of the course. How it works is that you sign up on that page and when the course starts, you will get every sunday a link to the 80 minute audio file that you can download as well as transcripts and additional handouts. If you have chosen that you want to be assisted, you will get a person assigned to you, that you can contact once a week during a predetermined time, if you have questions about t...

How to start your meditation practice? Just do it!

Image
  So you are motivated to start your first meditation, but somehow you can't get yourself to sit down on a cushion and to close your eyes? Here is a little secret that the NIKE brand has used for decades as a marketing slogan: "Just do it!". There is no away around pushing yourself over the edge to get the deed done.  Here are 8 tips, how to get yourself over the hump: 1) Make a strong resolve to do a meditaton today. Right after you wake up and get up out bed, think about the things you want to achieve today. And make sure you include meditation in your planning. It could be something like this: "Today, I want to sit down and meditate." 2) Pick a specific time, when you want to meditate. When you do the strong resolve, make sure you include a specific time, when you want to do it. So it should be something like: "I want to meditate today, when I get back home after work." or "I want to meditate at 10 p.m.". Being specific helps your brain to...
