Download or read book Karma written by Johannes Bronkhorst and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2011-08-24 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Karma has become a household word in the modern world, where it is associated with the belief in rebirth determined by one’s deeds in earlier lives. This belief was and is widespread in the Indian subcontinent as is the word “karma” itself. In lucid and accessible prose, this book presents karma in its historical, cultural, and religious context. Initially, karma manifested itself in a number of religious movements—most notably Jainism and Buddhism—and was subsequently absorbed into Brahmanism in spite of opposition until the end of the first millennium C.E. Philosophers of all three traditions were confronted with the challenge of explaining by what process rebirth and karmic retribution take place. Some took the drastic step of accepting the participation of a supreme god who acted as a cosmic accountant, others of opting for radical idealism. The doctrine of karma was confronted with alternative explanations of human destiny, among them the belief in the transfer of merit. It also had to accommodate itself to devotional movements that exerted a major influence on Indian religions. The book concludes with some general reflections on the significance of rebirth and karmic retribution, drawing attention to similarities between early Christian and Indian ascetical practices and philosophical notions that in India draw their inspiration from the doctrine of karma.
Download or read book Living Karma written by Beverley Foulks McGuire and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2014-08-26 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ouyi Zhixu (1599–1655) was an eminent Chinese Buddhist monk who, contrary to his contemporaries, believed karma could be changed. Through vows, divination, repentance rituals, and ascetic acts such as burning and blood writing, he sought to alter what others understood as inevitable and inescapable. Drawing attention to Ouyi's unique reshaping of religious practice, Living Karma reasserts the significance of an overlooked individual in the modern development of Chinese Buddhism. While Buddhist studies scholarship tends to privilege textual analysis, Living Karma promotes a balanced study of ritual practice and writing, treating Ouyi's texts as ritual objects and his reading and writing as religious acts. Each chapter addresses a specific religious practice—writing, divination, repentance, vows, and bodily rituals—offering first a diachronic overview of each practice within the history of Chinese Buddhism and then a synchronic analysis of each phenomenon through close readings of Ouyi's work. This book sheds much-needed light on a little-known figure and his representation of karma, which proved to be a seminal innovation in the religious thought of late imperial China.

Download or read book Kumari s Karma written by Doreen Perera and published by Strategic Book Publishing. This book was released on 2010-05 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kumari's Karma takes place in Srilanka, then called Ceylon, in the 1960s, just twelve years after the country gained independence from Britain. A place in transition, Srilanka was torn between Western values, and Christian and traditional beliefs. The little fishing village of Malhena mirrors this transition, and is the background for a tender and tragic love affair between a young school girl, Kumari, and the Catholic parish priest. Their love transcends reincarnation, warnings given in dreams, and forbidden Christian beliefs. The novel gathers momentum when an exorcism misfires, and the devil takes possession of Yakka, Kumari's tyrannical father, making him fatally shoot his oldest daughter's suitor. While Yakka is in prison, the richest man in the village tries to seduce his wife, as the middle-aged police inspector woos Kumari. In distress, Kumari turns to the parish priest. One morning, the two disappear, as the novel comes to its astonishing conclusion. Doreen Perera was born in Srilanka, and grew up in a small village that had many colourful characters. The people there fascinated her so much that some inhabit her novel. Brought up Catholic, she also accepts traditional beliefs. Her father worked for an English company, so she was also brought up with an English influence. Perera earned a master's in social work from the University of Washington, and married a fellow student. She moved with him to Germany, where the couple had three children. Now widowed, she still lives in Germany and is a part-time English teacher. She dedicates this book to her partner.

Download or read book America s Racial Karma written by Larry Ward and published by Parallax Press. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immediate, illuminating, and hopeful: this is the key set of talks given by leading Zen Buddhist teacher Larry Ward, PhD, on breaking America’s cycle of racial trauma. As an 11-year-old child, Zen Buddhist teacher Larry Ward was shot at by the police for playing baseball in the wrong spot. As an adult, he experienced the trauma of having his home firebombed by racists. At Plum Village Monastery in France—the home in exile of his teacher, Vietnamese peace activist and Zen teacher Thich Nhat Hanh—Dr. Ward found a way to heal. In these short reflective essays, he offers his insights on the effects of racial constructs and answers the question: How do we free ourselves from our repeated cycles of anger, denial, bitterness, pain, fear, violence? “I am a drop in the ocean, but I’m also the ocean,” he says. “I’m a drop in America, but I’m also America. Every pain, every confusion, every good and every bad and ugly of America is in me. And as I transform myself and heal and take care of myself, I’m very conscious that I’m healing and transforming and taking care of America. I say this for American cynics, but this is also true globally. It’s for real.” Here, Ward looks at the causes and conditions that have led us to our current state and finds, hidden in the crisis, a profound opportunity to reinvent what it means to be a human being. This is an invitation to transform America’s racial karma.
