Buddhism & Science: A Guide for the Perplexed
ISBN: 9780226493190 / Angielski / Miękka / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Beginning in the nineteenth century and continuing to the present day, both practitioners and admirers of Buddhism have proclaimed its compatibility with science. In Buddhism and Science, Donald S. Lopez Jr. explores how and why these two seemingly disparate modes of understanding the inner and outer universe have been so persistently linked. He argues that by presenting an ancient Asian tradition as compatible with--and even anticipating--scientific discoveries, European enthusiasts and Asian elites have sidestepped debates on the relevance of religion in the modern world that...

Glorification of the Buddha and the Bodhisatta
ISBN: 9783639281934 / Angielski / Miękka / 60 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Buddha himself admitted that he was the Buddha and not a supernatural being. Though the concept of glorification was never desired by the Buddha, but it had attracted various communities across the world for centuries (in the form of Buddhist Art, Meditation and Prayers) and served as an invisible and inseparable bond of unity and harmony in the society. It is impossible to perfectly identify the time when the first concept of glorification of the Buddha and the Bodhisatta was initiated in Buddhism. This is due to the fact that by the time the Canon was put to writing, the Buddha concept...

How Buddhism Acquired a Soul on the Way to China
ISBN: 9781845539962 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. How Buddhism Acquired a Soul on the Way to China tells the story of the spread of Buddhist religious thinking and practice from India to China and how, along the way, a religion was changed. While Indian Buddhists had constructed their ideas of self by means of empiricism, anti-Brahmanism and analytic reasoning, Chinese Buddhists did so by means of non-analytic insights, utilising pre-established epistemology and cosmogony. Furthermore, many specific Buddhist ideas were transformed when exchanged from an Indian to a Chinese context, often through the work of translators concept-matching...

Sacred High City, Sacred Low City: A Tale of Religious Sites in Two Tokyo Neighborhoods
ISBN: 9780199861446 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Sacred High City, Sacred Low City, Steven Heine argues that lived religion in Japan functions as an integral part of daily life; any apparent lack of interest masks a fundamental commitment to participating regularly in diverse, though diffused, religious practices. The book uses case studies of religious sites at two representative but contrasting Tokyo neighborhoods as a basis for reflecting on this apparently contradictory quality. In what ways does Japan continue to carry on and adapt tradition, and to what extent has modern secular society lost touch with the traditional...
