The teachings of Zen Buddhism combined with the earth-based
tradition of Druidry can create a holistic way of life that is
deeply integrated with the seasons, the environment and the present
moment. In soul-deep relationship we can use the techniques and
wisdom from both traditions to find balance and harmony within our
own lives. In this text we explore the concepts of the Dharma (the
Buddha's teachings) and how they relate to the wisdom of the Druid
tradition. We also look at the Wheel of the Year in modern Druidry
with regards to the Dharma, incorporating the teachings into every
seasonal festival in an all-encompassing celebration of nature. We
explore meditation, mindfulness, animism and integration with
nature, learning how to find sustainable relationship in the work
that we do, opening our souls to the here and now and seeing the
beauty and wonder that enchants our lives in every waking moment.
Step into a new life, fully awake and aware to the beauty of the
natural world.
This book provides an accessible, light, and spiritually thoughtful
introduction to how anyone can live and celebrate Celtic
spirituality every day of the year. Contents: * This book offers
readers from a variety of backgrounds and perspectives a
user-friendly guide into the traditions of the 'Celtic nations' -
Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, the Isle of Man, Brittany, and
Galicia. This book draws on sources from throughout the Celtic
Tradition (myth, folklore, Arthurian romance, poetry, lives of the
saints, and ballads) and presents the universal spiritual
principles at the foundation of the Celtic world view.
This is a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of some
of the metaphysical notions that are the foundation of modern
druidic thought and practice. It is a serious and informed
contribution to an often-neglected area of the modern Druid Way in
which past practice is all too often rekindled without an attendant
understanding of past psychology or philosophical perceptions. In
this, it is a manifesto for a Druid Way that is both true to its
Celtic roots and responsive to the modern world.
There are a great many people now seeking to learn Cornish, and all
are looking for ways to use it in their daily lives. One is through
the age-old practice of daily prayer. This book has been compiled
with two aims to help you to learn Cornish, and to bring you closer
to God in the process. Morning and Evening Prayer in this book
follow a traditional format, and ancient prayers from the Celtic
Church have been included whenever possible. A fixed psalm for
Morning and Evening Prayer is used each day to make things simple,
because that 's how prayer should be. Collects have been included
for use during the Church year, as well as a list of Celtic saints
days. -- Yma lies huny i n tor -ma owth assaya desky Kernowek, hag
