Meditation of the Wheel of Protection

Über den Autor

About my personAbout me I was born in 1960 in Germany and grew up in a scientific home. From , of 1980 on I studied at the university in Göttingen. My contact there never completely broke off and still exists today. Besides social sciences and psychology I was especially interested in ancient languages.These include: Latin, Ancient Greek, Ancient Hebrew, Old-Syrian, Sanskrit and Old-Tibetan. In the university context, old languages are learned analytically. Furthermore, the grammatical characteristics of the individual languages, text analysis and the classification of texts in their overall context are dealt with. In addition to grammar, methods of text and literary criticism are also applied.The present text also contains elements from different traditions. Some of them go back to very old Indian texts, which today would have been lost by the decline of Buddhism in India if they had not been transported in a much later Tibetan frame text.Since I decided not to pursue a church career, Tibetan Buddhism has become my home for many years.I appreciate that Buddhism combines clear factual analysis, an action based on factual analysis with a pictured world and symbolism. This is linked by mythologies, wisdom, compassion and development of personality to Buddhahood. In doing so, the narrow limits of our imagination and outlooks on life are dissolved, without, however, abandoning the factual ground, the analysis and the power of judgment.
