Download or read book The Dalai Lama and the King Demon written by Raimondo Bultrini and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2013-06-07 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A triple homicide committed a few hundred yards away from the residence in exile of the Dalai Lama opens the doors to an unknown universe for Superintendent Rajeev Kumar Singh of the Indian police. He goes over every step of the crime and identifies its perpetrators as members of an exclusive cult dedicated to a demonic spirit with fearsome earthly powers. The chief suspects include the leading figures of a society devoted to the cult of Gyalpo Shugden, whose headquarters are to be found in the heart of Delhi’s Tibetan exile neighborhood. Raimondo Bultrini, an investigative journalist, decides to open a new trail by reconstructing the mystical aspect of the events. The Dalai Lama himself, determined to combat the sectarian outlook fostered in the name of the "king demon" by a group within the clergy of the Gelukpa school of Tibetan Buddhism, reveals to Bultrini hitherto secret religious and historical details regarding the impact of the cult. Recent events and developments seem to bear out his perspective, since many Gyalpo Shugden followers have found common ground with the Chinese authorities. The links between these renegade lamas and the Communist regime are becoming stronger, creating an alliance aimed at removing all traces of the Dalai Lama’s lineage from Tibet’s future. This is the first major exposé of this intriguing struggle at the heart of the mysticism and politics surrounding the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan quest for freedom.

Dr. Geoffrey Tabin was the high-achieving “bad boy” of his class at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Sanduk Ruit grew up in a remote village in the Himalayas, where cataract blindness—easily curable in modern hospitals—amounts to an epidemic. Together, they pioneered a new surgical method, by which they have restored sight to over 100,000 people—all for about $20 per operation. Master storyteller David Oliver Relin brings the doctors’ work to vivid life through poignant portraits of their patients, from old men who can once again walk treacherous mountain trails, to children who can finally see their mothers’ faces. The Himalayan Cataract Project is changing the world—one pair of eyes at a time.

Download or read book Wanderings Windows White Paper written by Aananda Teertha and published by Partridge Publishing. This book was released on 2013-10-27 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book, Wanderings, Windows, and White Paper, is not a storybook but a book of stories, poems, and a few drawings. Each of the stories is unique, but they connect to translate a wholesome idea of oneness. The plot and the presentation are simply incredible. The characters are nameless, known along the story as per their activities or simply as wanderers. They show up themselves to share a thought, a very new one, and ignite a new set of thought waves that refresh the whole thinking process of the reader instantly. A hidden potency in each sentence to recharge the reader with a gentle jolt is notable. The whole book celebrates the aloneness as the hidden source of power generation, mentioned throughout the book as ones own Self or Presence. The language is purely unique, original, not from the intellect nor of the heart or of the mouth, but intuitively poetic. A philosophical travelogue, a well-knit mystic bunch of short stories in a single thread of experiencing, with the fragrance of compassion that takes the reader away from the entangling hands of lines and space to a settled pause. And throws light on the beauty and courage, up on the midroadmoving.

Download or read book Making Sense of Literacy Scholarship written by Catherine Compton-Lilly and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-26 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a roadmap to the key decisions, processes, and procedures to use when synthesizing qualitative literacy research. Covering the major types of syntheses – including the dissertation literature review, traditional literature review, integrative literature review, meta-synthesis, and meta-ethnography – Compton-Lilly, Rogers, and Lewis Ellison offer techniques and frameworks to use when making sense of a large body of scholarship. Addressing the standard and untraditional forms a research synthesis can take, the authors provide clear and practical examples of synthesis designs and techniques, and consider how epistemological, ontological, and ethical questions arise when designing and adapting a research synthesis. The extensive appendices feature sample literature reviews, guidance on communication with editors of journals, useful charts, and more. The authors’ critical reflection and analysis demonstrates how a research synthesis is not simply a means to an end, but rather reflects each scholar’s interests, target audience, and message. This book is crucial reading for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as early career and more experienced researchers in literacy education.
