Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yang Wanli 杨万里 (1127-1206), courtesy name Yanxiu 延秀, style name Chengzhai 诚斋, was a famous literati and prominent politician in Southern Song. From the 12th to the 13th century he served four Southern Song emperors. Yang Wanli, You Mao 尤袤, Lu You 陆游, and Fan Chengda 范成大 were known as "The Four Prominent Poets of the Reviving Period" 中兴四大诗人 in the history of Chinese literature. Profoundly drawn to Zen Buddhism, Yang Wanli developed a distinctive style for poetic composition named the Chengzhai School, a quick sketch of daily occasions enlivened with poetic, graphic, whimsical charms. This style is unique for its uncontrived prose-like casualty. It is easy to grasp the image which naturally leads to a deeper metaphysical understanding.The publication is an analytical translation on a set of poems collected under the title of Boating In Appreciation of Flowers 《大司成颜几圣率同舍招游裴园泛舟绕孤山赏荷花晚泊玉壶得十绝句》. The set of ten quatrains was written during an outing on the West Lake in 1185. In this collection, the use of lotus flowers as a penetrating motif was characteristic of the masterful renderings of Chengzhai School.

Book excerpt: This is an epic tale; a fantasy replete with grand romances and countless avenues leading to divine love. Venture through diverse time perspectives and complex mythologies of the Gods in this multi-dimensional drama, inspired by ancient Asian principles. The Gold Lotus is a dance in written form; a saga with a rhythmic delivery that will transport you through intricate plots, legendary wars, unsettling separations, and passionate love, unbound. Manifested in a time of darkness and war, the celestial being Kānu prepares for a journey brought on by Muniji, the minstrel saint, to face a destiny that stands between destruction and salvation. Weaving through the ways of love and power, the almighty Kānu will learn to become the saviour of his heavenly kingdom while discovering the deepest desires of the heart and defeating evil - both within and without. As the heavenly kingdom yearns for its saviour, a formidable and broken God of War comes to battle with an unpredictable foe that has bested the mightiest of warriors before him: finding the lost love capable of fulfilling the void in his heart. What (or who) he finds as the answer proves to be a riddle never before encountered by the revered warrior. Alongside Kānu and a kingdom of mystical beings that oversee the forces of existence, the celestial war for balance is far from won and the stakes grow higher with every heartbeat.

Download or read book The Amazing Garden of Blue Lotus written by Khen Gyelek of Lungkya and published by Library of Tibetan Works and Archives. This book was released on 2023-10-11 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE AMAZING GARDEN OF BLUE LOTUS Surviving the darkest times of Tibetan history, in the midst of extreme religious persecution, he lived the life of a practitioner whose spiritual realizations were reflected through his actions. Forbearing every hardship and torture with equanimity, he was a physician by virtue who cured hundreds, but with meagre substances that one might refuse ghastly if it were in today’s time. Besides being a Lama that sees beyond time and across dimensions, he was the Vajramaster who trained twentysix classes of Six Union Vajra practitioners, each of whom assumed a greater role in the spread of the dharma than the other. Gyala Pema Namgyal’s life will fascinate any reader by the means he worked for the welfare of countless beings. The Land of Golok was indeed fortunate to have been the womb for this noble master at that turbulent time. As a novice translator, a lazy one at that, I found only joy and a rush of blessings in the mornings as I began the attempt to make his life reachable for the English readers. Because there were no shortages of miracles in the life of this benevolent teacher, I hope he will continue to inspire more lives as much as he did while he lived.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covering secret societies, mysterious ancient traditions, and the often-mistaken history of the world's religious symbols, this book takes readers on a tour through the fascinating world of religious symbolism and reveals the most mysterious and misunderstood facets of religion. Hidden Religion: The Greatest Mysteries and Symbols of the World's Religious Beliefs not only explores the history and origins of widely recognizable symbols, like the Christian cross and the Star of David, but also introduces readers to more obscure symbols from religious traditions around the world—even defunct ones like those of the ancient Aztec and Mayan societies. In addition, the book discusses the "religious secrets" found in the major religions, including secret societies of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and Buddhism. Containing more than 170 entries, the encyclopedia is organized by religious category, such as Abrahamic, East Asian, and African Diasporic religions, then alphabetically within each category. Each entry is prefaced with a short introduction that explains where and when the religious tradition originated and describes the religion today. This information is followed by an analysis of the historical development and use of symbols along with an explanation of connections between symbols used by different religions, such as shared astrological symbolism in the form of moon, sun, or star motifs.
