Unsere Gesundheit und unser Wohlergehen stehen auf dem Spiel, wenn es uns nicht gelingt, in dieser aus den Fugen geratenen Welt wieder zur Besinnung zu kommen, als Individuen und als menschliche Gemeinschaft. Dies ist die zentrale These des bekannten Verhaltensmediziners und Meditationslehrers Prof. Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn, dessen Programm der „Stressbewältigung durch die Praxis der Achtsamkeit“ (MBSR) weltweit in immer mehr Universitätskliniken, Krankenhäusern, Gesundheitszentren, aber auch in wirtschaftlichen und politischen Institutionen erfolgreich praktiziert wird.Wir haben weitgehend den Kontakt verloren zur wahren Wirklichkeit dessen, was wir in unserer Tiefe und in allen unseren Möglichkeiten sind; ebenso zu unserem Körper und zu den „Körperschaften“ unserer gesellschaftlichen und politischen Institutionen. Diese Entfremdung von dem, was wirklich ist, macht uns und unsere Gesellschaft auf die Dauer krank. Das Tor, durch das wir erneuten Zugang zu unserem inneren Potential, zu unserem Körper, unseren Gefühlen, unseren Mitmenschen und unseren Organisationen gewinnen können, ist das unserer Sinne – und zu denen zählt der Autor aus buddhistischer Sicht auch den denkenden Geist. Der Königsweg zu dieser Belebung der Weisheit der Sinne ist die Achtsamkeit. Ihre heilsame Kraft ist in der buddhistischen Meditationspraxis seit zweieinhalb Jahrtausenden erforscht, erprobt und angewendet worden. Dieses Buch zeigt, wie wir mit Hilfe dieser Praxis wieder zur Besinnung kommen und mit allen Sinnen zu einem gesunden und erfüllten Leben in der Gemeinschaft finden können.
