Download or read book In Search of the Dharma written by Chen-hua and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1992-08-25 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first and only book in English on modern Chinese Buddhism written by a practicing Chinese monk. Chen-hua provides a rare eyewitness account of Chinese monastic life and Buddhist practices before they were changed forever by the Communist revolution. It begins with his departure from home in northern China to study Buddhism in Kiansu and Chekiang in the south and ends with his rejoining the monastic order in Taiwan after spending several years as a draftee in the Nationalist army. Following century-old traditions of Ch’an monks, Chen-hua made prilgrimages to all the major monasteries and holy sites, and sought instruction from many famous masters. His ordination at Pao-hua; “Buddha recitation weeks” at Ling-yen; scriptural studies at T’ien-ning; and a pilgrimage to P’u-t’o, the sacred island of Kuan-yin, are some of the highlights of this candid and perceptive book. The Introduction by Chun-fang Yu places the work in a historical perspective. Notes, a glossary of Chinese terms, maps, and photos help readers who are new to the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The incidences narrated here are faced by the common man in India in his day-to-day routine life.He does not have time to react to it. His "no reaction" attitude eventually became known to the perpetrators of the atrocities. His distress, agonies, worries are overshadowed behind his efforts to survive. he is at the receiving end in most of cases. The medical professionals, bureaucrats, politicians, advocates, judiciary, NGOs, social workers, traders, MNCs and others all trying to derive any kind of benefits from him. But his trust in human beings is intact even though he faces various atrocities, his faith still not shaken. His conflicts are usually with other common man or with the other categories of people who knowingly or unknowingly create favorable or unfavorable situation for him.Usually unaware of the strategies hatched out against him, he is a darling of the political system before elections and an ignored one thereafter. He watches the things taking shape, understand their meanings, aware of their repercussions but waits for others to take lead before reacting.Here no imaginary characters narrated, just to give it tale form some changes are made to relate them and convert to tale form.

Download or read book In Search of Pre-Exilic Israel written by John Day and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2005-04-01 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years there has been a tendency among certain scholars to claim that little can be known about pre-exilic Israel, because the Old Testament was only compiled in the post-exilic period (for example Philip Davies, Thomas Thompson, Neils Peter Lemche). One scholar (Lemche) has even claimed that the Old Testament is a Hellenistic work. The purpose of this book is to argue that this is an extreme and untenable position and that, though much of the Old Testament was indeed edited in the exilic or post-exilic period, many of the underlying sources used go back to the pre-exilic period. When critically analyzed these sources can shed much light on the pre-exilic period. This important work is the product of a team of seventeen international scholars, no fewer than five of whom are Fellows of the British Academy. None of the chapters has previously been published.

Download or read book In Search of the Christian Buddha: How an Asian Sage Became a Medieval Saint written by Donald S. Lopez Jr. and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2014-04-07 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fascinating account of how the story of the Buddha was transformed into the legend of a Christian saint. The story of Saint Josaphat, a prince who gave up his wealth and kingdom to follow Jesus, was one of the most popular Christian tales of the Middle Ages, translated into a dozen languages, and cited by Shakespeare in The Merchant of Venice. Yet Josaphat is only remembered today because of the similarities of his life to that of the Buddha. In Search of the Christian Buddha is set against the backdrop of the trade along the Silk Road, the Christian settlement of Palestine, the spread of Islam, and the Crusades. It traces the path of the Buddha’s tale from India and shows how it evolved, adopting details from each culture during its sojourn. These early instances of globalization allowed not only goods but also knowledge to flow between different cultures and around much of the world. Eminent scholars Donald S. Lopez Jr. and Peggy McCracken reveal how religions born thousands of miles apart shared ideas throughout the centuries. They uncover surprising convergences and divergences between these faiths on subjects including the meaning of death, the problem of desire, and their view of women. Demonstrating the incredible power of this tale, they ask not how stories circulate among religions but how religions circulate among stories.
