Ramajana
ISBN: 9788190233293 / Polski / Miękka / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ramajana to sanskrycki epos, którego zachowane wersje pochodzą z okresu od IV w. p.n.e. do II w. n.e. Jego autorstwo przypisuje się legendarnemu poecie Walmikiemu. Pierwotnie dzieło recytowane na dworach, z czasem nabrało wymowy religijnej, w miarę jak zaczęto głównego bohatera Ramę uważać za awatara (boską inkarnację) boga Wisznu. Szczególnego znaczenia nabrała parafraza Ramajany na język hindi dokonana przez R. Tulsidasa (Tulsiego) pt. Ramaćaritmanas (Jezioro czynów Ramy), powstała w XVI w. Dzięki niej Ramajana stała się świętą księgą hinduizmu, zwłaszcza dla...

Dependent Arising In Context: the Buddha's core lesson, in the context of his time and ours
ISBN: 9781481259545 / Angielski / Miękka / 146 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Dependent arising is the backbone of the Buddha's doctrine -- all the other lessons he taught relate to it, or refer to it in some way -- yet it is the least understood. There is a confusion of theories as to its meaning: is it about three lives, or one? about rebirth or moment-to-moment creation of the ego? Yet when dependent arising is seen in the light of the central myth of the Buddha's day (the creation of First Man and how that relates to our creation of self) the whole structure becomes much clearer, and many of the points of confusion are straightened out. People have long asked, for...

ISBN: 9780415830676 / Angielski / Twarda / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Contextualising the seemingly esoteric and exotic aspects of Tibetan Buddhist culture within the everyday, embodied and sensual sphere of religious praxis, this book centres on the social and religious lives of deceased Tibetan Buddhist lamas. It explores how posterior forms - corpses, relics, reincarnations and hagiographical representations - extend a lama's trajectory of lives and manipulate biological imperatives of birth and death. The book looks closely at previously unexamined figures whose history is relevant to a better understanding of how Tibetan culture navigates...

In the twelfth century, the Chinese Zen master Kakuan Shien produced the pictures, poems, and commentaries we know as the Ten Ox-Herding Pictures. They trace a universally recognizable path of contemplative spirituality, using the metaphor of a young ox-herder looking for his lost ox.
According to Addison Hodges Hart, the Ten Ox-Herding Pictures and the teachings of Christ, the Good Shepherd who guides us to God, share a common vision. Both show us that authentic spiritual life must begin with an inner transformation of one's self, leading to an outward life that is natural and loving. In...
