Download or read book Towards a Christian Tantra written by John R. Dupuche and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How is it possible to reconcile two facts which seem irreconcilable, and an immersion in the world of Tantra even to the point of initiation? This intriguing account describes an usual spiritual journey which responds honestly and deeply to this mysterious experience, of spirit and body, of discernment and grace, of divine energy and love in all its aspects, during the course of an adventure which links a person to what is essential, unveiling the whole scope, both cosmic and divine, of Life. The author shows how, beyond their obvious differences, the Christian themes of the Word which is expressed as an eternal I am, or of the divine Energy, find striking correspondences in the Tantra, allowing them to resonate together and enrich each other. This work, therefore, follows in the wake of other pioneers such as Henri Le Saux or Christian de Cherg as regards the dialogue with Hinduism and Islam. Conciousness is the Self because God is Love. The essence of tantra is Love.

Download or read book Enlightenment and Tantra written by Bryan Lobo and published by Pontificia Univ. Gregoriana. This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The articles in this volume of Documenta Missionalia are for that reader who is not just a curious learner of Tantrism and Christianity but who is also willing to allow the interaction of two religious worldviews to finally arrive at a unique realization and admiration of the ineffable mystery of God. Any reader interested in this theme would find in these articles great intellectual and spiritual depth that could eventually be highly profitable for one's academic and personal life. The authors of the articles in this volume, bearing in mind the perennial necessity of interreligious dialogue for mutual enrichment, have sought a comparative presentation of Tantric and Christian beliefs and practices like the Eucharist, divinization, mystical non-dualistic consciousness, male-female unity, Logos-Vac (Word) "inter-reading", freedom, fullness of joy, and corporeality. To our knowledge, such a diverse thematic presentation of Tantrism and Christianity in one single volume is the first of its kind to date

Download or read book The Pope s Body written by Agostino Paravicini-Bagliani and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2000-07 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In contrast to the role traditionally fulfilled by secular rulers, the pope has been perceived as an individual person existing in a body subject to decay and death, yet at the same time a corporeal representation of Christ and the Church, eternity and salvation. Using an array of evidence from the eleventh through the fifteenth centuries, Agostino Paravicini- Bagliani addresses this paradox. He studies the rituals, metaphors, and images of the pope's body as they developed over time and shows how they resulted in the expectation that the pope's body be simultaneously physical and metaphorical. Also included is a particular emphasis on the thirteenth century when, during the pontificate of Boniface VIII (1294-1303), the papal court became the focus of medicine and the natural sciences as physicians devised ways to protect the pope's health and prolong his life. Masterfully translated from the Italian, this engaging history of the pope's body provides a new perspective for readers to understand the papacy, both historically and in our own time.

Download or read book Lourdes written by Ruth Harris and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2008-09-04 with total page 702 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lourdes was at the very centre of nineteenth century debates on religion, science and medicine. Both the Church and secularists championed the 'miracle' town as crucial in shaping how society should think about the mind, body and spirit. Since the ‘visions’ of Bernadette Soubirous in 1858 transformed the quiet Pyrenean town into an international tourist and pilgrimage destination, it has been a site for controversy. In her well-crafted and carefully researched book, Harris deftly places Lourdes and its attendant spiritual movement firmly at the centre of French history and shows its significance in the country’s development.

Download or read book Un mois avec le Sacr C ur de J sus written by Abbé Berlioux and published by Les Editions Blanche de Peuterey. This book was released on 2016-08-26 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nous continuons l’édition des œuvres de l’abbé Berlioux. Après « Un mois avec nos amies, les âmes du Purgatoire », et « Un mois avec saint Joseph », voici « Un mois avec le Sacré-Cœur de Jésus », construit sur le même principe : pour chaque jour du mois de juin, une courte méditation sur un sujet touchant au Sacré-Cœur, puis un exemple édifiant, enfin une prière. Le livre se termine par quelques prières au Sacré-Cœur. Par rapport à l’édition originale, nous n’avons pas repris la partie intitulée « Dévotion au Sacré-Cœur pendant la Messe », car elle correspondait à la forme liturgique de la messe de l’époque, (aujourd’hui, la forme extraordinaire du rite latin), différente de ce que la majorité des chrétiens connaît. Certes le texte et le contexte sont un peu anciens. Le livre date des années 1870, époque à laquelle la dévotion au Sacré-Cœur se développe en France : le pays est consacré au Sacré-Cœur, on construit la Basilique de Montmartre, on sort de la guerre contre la Prusse, la Commune s’est battu à Paris... Ceci étant, notre époque n’est pas fondamentalement différente, et la solution proposée à la fin du 19ème siècle par l’abbé Berlioux peut être facilement transposée à notre 21ème siècle.
