Download or read book The Lotus and the Lion written by J. Jeffrey Franklin and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2011-03-15 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buddhism is indisputably gaining prominence in the West, as is evidenced by the growth of Buddhist practice within many traditions and keen interest in meditation and mindfulness. In The Lotus and the Lion, J. Jeffrey Franklin traces the historical and cultural origins of Western Buddhism, showing that the British Empire was a primary engine for curiosity about and then engagement with the Buddhisms that the British encountered in India and elsewhere in Asia. As a result, Victorian and Edwardian England witnessed the emergence of comparative religious scholarship with a focus on Buddhism, the appearance of Buddhist characters and concepts in literary works, the publication of hundreds of articles on Buddhism in popular and intellectual periodicals, and the dawning of syncretic religions that incorporated elements derived from Buddhism. In this fascinating book, Franklin analyzes responses to and constructions of Buddhism by popular novelists and poets, early scholars of religion, inventors of new religions, social theorists and philosophers, and a host of social and religious commentators. Examining the work of figures ranging from Rudyard Kipling and D. H. Lawrence to H. P. Blavatsky, Thomas Henry Huxley, and F. Max Müller, Franklin provides insight into cultural upheavals that continue to reverberate into our own time. Those include the violent intermixing of cultures brought about by imperialism and colonial occupation, the trauma and self-reflection that occur when a Christian culture comes face-to-face with another religion, and the debate between spiritualism and materialism. The Lotus and the Lion demonstrates that the nineteenth-century encounter with Buddhism subtly but profoundly changed Western civilization forever.

The Whispering Woods, a vital source of life and magic for the kingdom, is under attack by a formless entity that drains its very essence. Thrust into a battle beyond her imagination, Amara embarks on a perilous journey with her loyal handmaiden, Priya. Their quest leads them back into the heart of the forest, where they encounter the ailing Moonweavers, guardians of the woods. Haunted by visions of a swirling darkness, Amara discovers a connection between the Moonweavers and the forest's resilience. However, the price of protection is high. The Moonweavers reveal a truth – they sacrificed a piece of themselves in exchange for the Starlight Blossom, a cure that saved the King's life. To save the forest in turn, Amara and Priya must be prepared to make a similar sacrifice. Their courage will be tested as they face the formless entity, a being of pure darkness feeding on the life force of the woods. Armed with their unwavering bond, moonlight essence, and a newfound understanding of the forest's magic, Amara and Priya stand their ground. The fate of the Whispering Woods, and potentially the kingdom itself, hangs in the balance. Will their sacrifice be enough to drive back the darkness and restore balance, or will the forest succumb to the encroaching evil? Dive into this story of bravery, magic, and the delicate balance between nature and humanity. Explore a world where queens wield power beyond the throne, handmaidens become confidantes and warriors, and the whispers of the forest hold the key to survival.
Download or read book Gender and Memory written by Luisa Passerini and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender and Memory brings together contributions from around the world and from a range of disciplines--history and sociology, socio-linguistics and family therapy, literature--to create a volume that confronts all those concerned with autobiographical testimony and narrative, both spoken and written. The fundamental theme is the shaping of memory by gender. This paperback edition includes a new introduction by Selma Leydesdorff, coeditor of the Memory and Narrative series of which this volume is a part. Are the different ways in which men and women are recalled in public and private memory and the differences in men's and women's own memories of similar experiences, simply reflections of unequal lives in gendered societies, or are they more deeply rooted? The sharply differentiated life experiences of men and women in most human societies, the widespread tendencies for men to dominate in the public sphere and for women's lives to focus on family and household, suggest that these experiences may be reflected in different qualities of memory. The contributors maintain that memories are gendered, and that the gendering of memory makes a strong impact on the shaping of social spaces and expressive forms as the horizons of memory move from one generation to the next. They argue that in order to understand how memory becomes gendered, we need to travel through the realms of gendered experience and gendered language.
