Download or read book A Buddhist Ritual Manual on Agriculture written by Gergely Hidas and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-09-02 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the first in-depth study of a recently discovered Sanskrit dharani spell text from around the 5th century CE surviving in two palm-leaf and three paper manuscript compendia from Nepal. This rare Buddhist scripture focuses on the ritual practice of thaumaturgic weather control for successful agriculture through overpowering mythical Nagas. Traditionally, these serpentine beings are held responsible for the amount of rainfall. The six chapters of the Vajratundasamayakalparaja present the vidyadhara spell-master as a ritualist who uses mandalas, mudras and other techniques to gain mastery over the Nagas and thus control the rains. By subjugating the Nagas, favourable weather and good crops are guaranteed. This links this incantation tradition to economic power and the securing of worldly support for the Buddhist community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Culture of Farm Crops: A Manual of the Science of Agriculture, and a Hand-Book of Practice for American Farmers No farmer can be successful in the pursuit of his industry without a knowledge of the principles upon which the practice of it is founded. Every work of the farm has more or less of mystery attached to it. No other art, among all the industries of the human race is so intricate or has so many varying conditions and circumstances environing and affecting it. The soil, the season, the character of the plants grown, the time and manner of their cultivation; the air, water and mineral matters which furnish them with food; and many other things related to these; are all involved in an inextricable maze and mystery to the farmer who knows nothing of them or their relations to and reactions upon each other. But these mysteries are unfolded in the most beautiful and interesting manner, and the laws which relate to the growth of plants are seen to form a system which gradually developes - as the farmer progresses in this study - into form and method from which rules may be laid down for his guidance; or from which he may form his own rules and practice as any emergency may arise. When principles are known and understood, one may form his own practice. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Farming While Black written by Leah Penniman and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2018 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Farming While Black is the first comprehensive "how to" guide for aspiring African-heritage growers to reclaim their dignity as agriculturists and for all farmers to understand the distinct, technical contributions of African-heritage people to sustainable agriculture. At Soul Fire Farm, author Leah Penniman co-created the Black and Latino Farmers Immersion (BLFI) program as a container for new farmers to share growing skills in a culturally relevant and supportive environment led by people of color. Farming While Black organizes and expands upon the curriculum of the BLFI to provide readers with a concise guide to all aspects of small-scale farming, from business planning to preserving the harvest. Throughout the chapters Penniman uplifts the wisdom of the African diasporic farmers and activists whose work informs the techniques described--from whole farm planning, soil fertility, seed selection, and agroecology, to using whole foods in culturally appropriate recipes, sharing stories of ancestors, and tools for healing from the trauma associated with slavery and economic exploitation on the land. Woven throughout the book is the story of Soul Fire Farm, a national leader in the food justice movement." --

XIV.--A Common Mistake in applying Manure Exercise 17 differs from No. 16 only in providing for experiments to determine the effect on the capillary movement of water caused by the application of farm manures or the plowing under of green crops. The tests may easily be varied from time to time to cover a great many different conditions and to answer questions that may arise in the minds of the students as to what would be the results of certain practices. If the crop at any time during its growing season is forced to depend for its moisture upon the supply of water which is held in store at some distance below the surface, any material, like coarse manure or unrotted clover, which breaks the connection of capillary tubes in the soil between the stratum where the plant roots are growing and the one in which the water is held will prove to be a serious disadvantage to the crop. Experiments like the following are especially valuable, because they make clear to the student the reasons why certain ways of doing things on the farm frequently give bad results. Exercise 17 Effect of Organic Matter on Rise of Water in Soils Class exercise in which each member of the class is to take daily observations on the height of the water in the tubes and note effect of organic matter on rise of water. After tying a cloth firmly over the ends of three two-inch glass tubes two feet long, fill them to the height of one foot with soil compacted by letting the tube drop four times on a book from height of four inches for every six inches of soil put into the tube. Use finely pulverized, air-dried loam, filling tube No. 1 with the soil alone. Fill tube No. 2 with one foot of soil, then add a twoinch layer of cut straw or sawdust, and fill to the top with soil....
