Download or read book The Buddha Field written by Giselle Koy and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-09-01 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a woman with a charmed life, Giselle Koy's path of the modern spiritual seeker was tricky. Based on the ancient master/disciple paradigm, she set out to find a living master. After years of searching, Giselle was invited into the Buddha Field, an exclusive underground mystery school led by a charismatic South American spiritual master. His attractive devotees became intoxicated with love and truth. Giselle's complex inner world went to battle with the master's core teaching: Through total surrender comes total freedom. For years, she was immersed in this all-encompassing secret ashram without walls where virtually every day was intensely filled with group meditations and classes, explosive personal confessions and glamorous gatherings. What Giselle didn't expect was how thoroughly the master would deconstruct her ego, transform her personality and even give her a new name. Her life bloomed into her own private 60's-style revolution within, white hot & quiet. But when a sexual scandal erupted, Giselle had to choose between continuing her devotion to her master or finding the guru within.

Download or read book Chronicles from the Field written by Robert M. Townsend and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2013-04-12 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lessons learned in the process of designing and implementing one of the longest-running panel data surveys in development economics. Running since 1997 and continuing today, the Townsend Thai Project has tracked millions of observations about the economic activities of households and institutions in rural and urban Thailand. The project represents one of the most extensive datasets in the developing world. Chronicles from the Field offers an account of the design and implementation of this unique panel data survey. It tells the story not only of the origins and operations of the project but also of the challenges and rewards that come from a search to understand the process of a country's economic development. The book explains the technical details of data collection and survey instruments but emphasizes the human side of the project, describing the culture shock felt by city-dwelling survey enumerators in rural villages, the “surprising, eye-opening, and inspiring” responses to survey questions, and the never-ending resourcefulness of the survey team. The text is supplemented by an epilogue on research findings and policy recommendations and an appendix that contains a list and abstracts of published and working papers, organized by topic, using data from the project. Social and economic policies are too often skewed by political considerations. The Townsend Thai Project offers another basis for policy: accurate measurement based on thoroughly collected data. From this, a clear template emerges for understanding poverty and alleviating it.
