Download or read book TRAVELING WITH THE LORD written by Jan Boys and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2005-09-28 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An ancient spiritual maxim says, ‘Find God in all things.’ Jan Boys is one of those rare people who does. This engaging book about her travels (geographical and spiritual) invites us to think about our personal travels and reminds us that in the complexity of nature we can see the simplicity of God.” Bernard Brady, Ph.D., Professor of Theology, University of St. Thomas, Minnesota, author of A Spiritual Field Guide. Are you seeking God’s presence in your life? Perhaps you’re retired or a traveler. Do you long for greater significance and purpose in your journeys? If so, then TRAVELING WITH THE LORD will appeal to you. Be prepared to find the Lord within its pages, and then listen for the still small voice of God. While standing on a bridge over a turbulent river with shifting currents and swirling whirlpools, most people stop for a few moments, glance down, and see only water rushing below. “On the other hand,” Jan Boys’ husband Gene observes, “Jan stood on the bridge over the waters of Deception Pass in Washington State for fifteen minutes or more, studied the turbulent scene, and then wrote about God’s presence in the tumultuous times of life.” “Picking a Path Through Turbulence” is one of twenty-five reflective stories in TRAVELING WITH THE LORD: An Emmaus Journey to the Pacific Northwest. This series of reflections -- a bit of travelogue and treasure hunt -- is drawn from the sights, sounds, and events of the Boys’ two six-month journeys covering more than 37,000 miles. Jan explains, “I create word pictures of places and events from our trips, describe how they relate to life, then listen and search for the presence of God.” While dry camping and enjoying the desert’s vibrant sunset, or craning her neck and tearfully gazing up at towering redwoods, or admiring massive majestic mountains, or savoring the tranquility of the ocean surf, God whispered and she heard, again and again. A sampling of the twenty-five reflections from the desert to the redwood forest, from the mountains to the ocean shore includes: “Finding God in the Desert” ...... Rio Rancho, New Mexico “Our Pilgrimage of Prayer” ...... The Grotto, Portland, Oregon “On Waves and White Noise” ... Olympic National Park “Facing My Fears” ................. Riding the Hiawatha Bike Trail “Firm Foundations” ............... Glacier National Park "The Towering Cathedral” ........ The California Redwoods “Never Forget Your Dreams” .... The Black Hills Of South Dakota “God’s Survival Plan” ............. Mount St. Helens Revisited Jan describes this as “finding God in the everyday stuff of life.” She sees more than the sight or event itself. God uses it as a teaching tool, a parable to speak to Jan’s soul and to encourage her to listen for His still small voice. TRAVELING WITH THE LORD: An Emmaus Journey to the Pacific Northwest will appeal to those seeking God’s presence in their lives, to travelers, retirees, and anyone longing for greater significance and purpose in their journeys. • Use these reflections and stories to hear the whisperings of God as Jan did. • Use them as a travel guide. Visit the same places yourself, look around with new eyes, and see what God reveals to you. • Use them as a steppingstone to enable you to find your own sense of purpose and ways to leave a legacy. Jan encourages all of us. “We are pilgrims on a journey to our heavenly home. In all your own wanderings and experiences, travel with the Lord, look for Him in the everyday stuff of life, and listen for the still small voice of God. Come, take a journey and go TRAVELING WITH THE LORD.”
Download or read book Creativity and Innovation Among Science and Art written by Christine Charyton and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-01-22 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book will address creativity and innovation among the two cultures of science and art. Disciplines within science and art include: medicine (neurology), music therapy, art therapy, physics, chemistry, engineering, music, improvisation, education and aesthetics. This book will be the first of its kind to appeal to a broad audience of students, scholars, scientists, professionals, practitioners (physicians, psychologists, counsellors and social workers), musicians, artists, educators and administrators. In order to understand creativity and innovation across fields, the approach is multidisciplinary. While there is overlap across disciplines, unique domain specific traits exist in each field and are also discussed in addition to similarities. This book engages the reader with the comparison of similarities and differences through dialog across disciplines. Authors of each chapter address creativity and innovation from their own distinct perspective. Each chapter is transdisciplinary in approach. These perspectives entail a representation of their field through research, teaching, service and/or practice.

This book was released on with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master Hsu Yun (虛雲, alternately romanized as Xuyun; “Empty Cloud”) was a renowned Chan master and one of the most influential Chinese Buddhist teachers of the 19th and 20th centuries. He founded Zhenru Monastery in Jiangxi Province and restored Nanhua Monastery in Guangdong Province, the monastery of the Sixth Chan Patriarch Huineng. At Nanhua Monastery, he transmitted the Dharma-seal of the Weiyang lineage of the Chan school to Tripitaka Master Hsuan Hua (then Tu Lun).

Volume One covers Venerable Master Hsu Yun’s birth and enlightenment. Volume Two covers Venerable Master Hsu Yun’s propagation of Buddhism
Download or read book Sutra of the Past Vows of Earth Store Bodhisattva written by Buddhist Text Translation Society and published by Buddhist Text Translation Society. This book was released on 2014-11-20 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although virtually unknown in the West, the Sutra of the Past Vows of Earth Store Bodhisattva has been popularly used for centuries in East Asia in the rituals concerned with death and dying. The Earth Store Sutra records various previous lives of Earth Store (Ksitigarbha) Bodhisattva in which he made vows. The first of these stories relates how the bodhisattva was once the daughter of a Brahmin woman who dies and is consigned to the hells for offenses that she has committed in her lifetime. In an act of filial responsibility and respect, the daughter travels to the hells to rescue her mother from its horrors and subsequently vows to rescue all beings who suffer there. The rich descriptions of the kinds of karmic retribution and punishments that the dead suffer in the hells are reminiscent of the Christian hell in Dante’s Inferno. The theme of this Sutra is to offer a model of filial respect and elucidate Earth Store Bodhisattva’s determination to use every means and expedient available to fulfill those vows.
Download or read book Three Steps One Bow written by Heng Ju (Bhikshu) and published by Buddhist Text Translation Society. This book was released on 2014-08-17 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the principle that peace in the world begins with peace in our hearts, two American monks, Heng Ju and Heng Yo, undertook an arduous 10 month pilgrimage in 1973. As they bowed down in full prostrations to the ground once every three steps, they prayed for world peace and sought spiritual awakening. A collection of excerpts from the journal they kept, this book offers an honest and moving account of their journey as they relate their internal and external hardships as well as their interactions with their teacher, Master Hsuan Hua, and their awakenings. This book shows Buddhism in its true form: a practice to transform the mind and thereby the world in which we live. This 40th anniversary edition comes with a preface written by Jeanette Testu, daughter of the former Heng Ju who had returned to lay life.
Download or read book Repentance Ritual of the Emperor of Liang written by Buddhist Text Translation Society and published by Buddhist Text Translation Society. This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In China Buddhism flourished during the Liang Dyansty (502–587) due in large part to Emperor Wu, who personally met with Bodhidharma, the 28th Indian patriarch from Shakyamuni Buddha. Legend has it that Emperor Wu’s first wife died prematurely and fell into the lower realms. In order to rescue her and to help her spirit ascend to the heavens, Emperor Wu, a great patron of Buddhism, had Chan Master Baozhi compose a repentance ceremony on her behalf. The resulting repentance text was so successful and popular that it is still used in monasteries today. Repentance Dharma of Kindness and Compassion in the Bodhimanda is a complete English translation of what is popularly known as “The Jeweled Repentance of the Emperor of Liang.” It was translated over a period of 15 years by the monks, nuns and laity of the Buddhist Text Translation Society (BTTS). BTTS was founded in 1970 in San Francisco by Tripitaka Master Hsuan Hua as part of the Dharma Realm Buddhist Association. BTTS publishes sutra translations, instructional handbooks, biographies, children’s books, and introductory material on Buddhism.
Download or read book The Buddha Speaks of Amitabha Sutra written by Hsuan Hua and published by Buddhist Text Translation Society. This book was released on 2013-07-23 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The so-called ‘’shorter’’ Amitabha Sutra has been and is a foundation of spirituality for millions of Buddhist believers throughout the ages. The Sutra describes the magnificent Buddhist “heaven,” the Pure Land, where conditions are perfect for the practice of the Buddhist path. The sutra also describes the method for being reborn to that land, namely mindfulness of its Buddha, Amitabha. Tripitaka Master Hsuan Hua’s accompanying commentary amplifies the text and explains its main concepts by providing many interesting anecdotes involving the Buddha and his disciples. This volume, combining the Sutra with Master Hua’s commentary, succeeds not only in introducing the practice and thought of Pure Land Buddhism, also referred to as Mahayana Buddhism, but effectively presents a lucid introduction to this Buddhism as it is practiced today.
