Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[A] joyful—and explicit—guide to sex. . . . [V]iews sexual pleasure as a human right and stresses the importance of female consent and equality.” —Ian Kerner, CNN The Passion Book is the most famous work of erotica in the vast literature of Tibetan Buddhism, written by the legendary scholar and poet Gendun Chopel (1903–1951). Soon after arriving in India in 1934, he discovered the Kama Sutra. Realizing that this genre of the erotic was unknown in Tibet, he set out to correct the situation. His sources were two: classical Sanskrit works and his own experiences with his lovers. Completed in 1939, his “treatise on passion” circulated in manuscript form in Tibet, scandalizing and arousing its readers. Gendun Chopel here condemns the hypocrisy of both society and church, portraying sexual pleasure as a force of nature and a human right for all. On page after page, we find the exuberance of someone discovering the joys of sex, made all the more intense because Chopel had taken the monastic vow of celibacy in his youth and had only recently renounced it. He describes in ecstatic and graphic detail the wonders he discovered. In these poems, written in beautiful Tibetan verse, we hear a voice with tints of irony, self-deprecating wit, and a love of women not merely as sources of male pleasure but as full partners in the play of passion. “Explicit, unabashed, detailed, and encyclopedic . . . [A] joyful book.” —Tricycle “An enchanting new translation . . . . Chopel’s writing couldn’t be more timely. . . . He confronted the patriarchy, challenging those who dehumanized women or thought the poor deserved less.” —Los Angeles Review of Books

Download or read book The Passion of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew written by Donald Senior and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Word of the cross is a living word, crying out for reinterpretation as life takes new shape and expression. Reinterpreting the Gospel was particularly compelling for Matthew's church because his Christians lived in a time of profound transition. The Passion of Jesus, then, was not simply a story of suffering out of the past but a point of identification for the Christians of Matthew's own time. For us twentieth-century Christians, who also know the peculiar suffering and hope of living in an age that is both dying and being born, the Passion of Jesus according to Matthew has special meaning.

Download or read book The Passion of Christ Strengthen Us written by Elmer M. Abear and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a result of our "insensitivity" to the will of God Mel Gibson's movie The Passion of the Christ may perhaps awaken our spiritual values and challenges us about the reality of heaven and hell in the afterlife. The Passion of Christ, Strengthen Us..., written by Dr. E. M. Abear, tells us that if we have for a moment what St. Faustina saw in her visions the brutalities done to Christ in Mel Gibson's film may pale in comparison to how sin offends God. However, the image of Christ on the cover gives us hope of His infinite divine mercy and introduces us to the "Kingdom of Heaven." What sets Dr. Abear's book apart from other writers is his scientific explanation about the death of the human blood in relationship to Christ's own divinity as He dies on the cross. The entire book tries to supplement what movies about Christ cannot fully articulate in words. Thus, after perhaps reading this scholarly dissertation of love and obedience, of sin and forgiveness, of Pope John Paul II's joy and suffering one may hopefully arrive to a better understanding and appreciation about The Passion of Christ. Book Review PASSION OF CHRIST, Strengthen Us Reviewed by J.R. Pingol The main message of this book is to make us understand that The Passion of Christ is the autobiography of our own life. The book starts by defining what is genuine love. The freedom of love according to the author is limited within the confine of God's will by which we all are obligated as creatures to obey, His Ten Commandments. Since we often fail to obey God's ten commandments (priests, nuns, lay persons alike) in our journey through life God bestows upon us, the gift of our conscience (which the author constantly makes references to Pope John Paul II's concept). Since conscience is often subjective to the will of man there are failures and successes when tested in a world that has gone increasingly secular. Forgiveness and generosity (chapter 3-4) heal the wounds of our misdeeds so we won't lose hope in our search for perfect happiness. By this the author introduces to us the kingdom of heaven (chapter 5). In this chapter we should not miss his beautiful insight of heaven as based from Christ's teaching nor his practical understanding of Christ's eight beatitudes .in relationship with our daily struggle in life. Having said that Dr. Abear points out the necessity of our knowing the ugliness of sin (chapter 7) so that no matter how we have sunk into the abyss of sins the two rays from the heart of Jesus (see cover) would show to us the abundance of His divine mercy, particularly available by those who would repent before He comes as a Judge. Chapter 12 opines with a new idea about the Passion of Christ which sets Dr. E. Abear's book apart from other writers. He writes about the physiology of human blood, how it separates into "blood and serum" and its scientific implication to the "blood and water" mentioned in the bible. In the absence of this scientific explanation for centuries most theologians had regarded the divinity of Christ as a mystery. No man in history has lived long after the blood in his heart turns into "water and blood." Indeed, the suffering of Christ in terms of our sinfulness is so brutal that it dwarfs the brutalities in Mel Gibson's movie. Mel Gibson is right: Christ dies to redeem 'the sins of humanity,' past, present and future, regardless of religion, color, or creed. Reflecting on the crucified Jesus reveals to us the autobiography of our own life. The 7th canticle of conversion concludes the book: Out of your divine mercy, oh Christ Comes my little faith Which out of my unbelief you deliver me from evil and embrace me for a new start.

Download or read book The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ written by Anne Emmerich and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-02-19 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ. From the Meditations of Anne Catherine Emmerich. Whoever compares the following meditations with the short history of the Last Supper given in the Gospel will discover some slight differences between them. An explanation should be given of this, although it can never be sufficiently impressed upon the reader that these writings have no pretensions whatever to add an iota to Sacred Scripture as interpreted by the Church. The following meditations will probably rank high among many similar works which the contemplative love of Jesus has produced; but it is our duty here plainly to affirm that they have no pretensions whatever to be regarded as history.1 They are but intended to take one of the lowest places among those numerous representations of the Passion which have been given us by pious writers and artists, and to be considered at the very utmost as the Lenten meditations of a devout nun, related in all simplicity, and written down in the plainest and most literal language, from her own dictation. To these meditations, she herself never attached more than a mere human value, and never related them except through obedience, and upon the repeated commands of the directors of her conscience.
