Download or read book The Khotanese Sudhanavadana written by Matteo De Chiara and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sudhanavadana is an agreeable tale which relates a story of a previous life of the Buddha: that of prince Sudhana and his wife, the fairy princess Manohara. Core of the work is the journey of Sudhana in search of his lost consort. Written in a Middle Iranian Language, i.e. Khotanese, spoken in Central Asia and used to compile Buddhist works, this tenth-century Late Khotanese poem is preserved in three virtually complete manuscripts and seven fragments all found in Dunhuang. The manuscripts and fragments must go ultimately back to a single source, but what remains are two distinct recensions: indeed, it may be assumed that, in order to conform to the needs of different audiences, the story was modified in the course of time to obtain two recensions that still run in parallel but are independent from each other, either one being complete in itself. After the introduction, Matteo De Chiara's study of the Khotanese Sudhanavadana provides a diplomatic edition, a critical edition, where the two Khotanese versions have been put in parallel and are followed by the corresponding passages in the Sanskrit parallel works, i.e. K'emendra's Bodhisattva-avadana-kalpalata and the Divyavadana, and a final glossary, indicating all loanwords and confrontations from Indian languages. Transcribed and translated, with critical apparatus, the text has been divided into logical paragraphs which render the understanding of the matter easier. Furthermore an additional volume will offer a philological commentary containing a complete discussion and explanation of problematic passages and words, as well as parallels from other Khotanese and Sanskrit texts.

Download or read book The Division of Heaven and Earth written by Shokdung and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a translation of one of the most influential and important books from Tibet in the modern era, a passionate indictment of Chinese policies and an eloquent analysis of protests that swept Tibet from March, 2008 - the 'Earth Rat' year according to the Tibetan calendar - as a re-awakening of Tibetan national consciousness and solidarity. The Division of Heaven and Earth was banned by the Chinese government on publication, and led to Shokdung being "disappeared" and imprisoned for nearly six months. This English translation is being made available for the first time since copies began to circulate underground in Tibet. The author, Tagyal -- who uses the pen name Shokdung, meaning "morning conch"-- one of Tibet's leading intellectuals, wrote his book in response to an unprecedented wave of bold demonstrations and expressions of Tibetan solidarity and national identity. In his foreword Matthew Akester, a Tibet specialist who translated this book into English, offers an account of the significance of these developments, which transformed the political landscape across the plateau and led to a sustained and violent crackdown by the Chinese authorities that continues to this day. Shokdung's book is regarded as the most daring and wide-ranging critique of China's policies in Tibet since the 10th Panchen

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most comprehensive collection of Tibetan works in a Western language, this volume illuminates the complex historical, intellectual, and social development of Tibetan civilization from its earliest beginnings to the modern period. Including more than 180 representative writings, Sources of Tibetan Tradition spans Tibet's vast geography and long history, presenting for the first time a diversity of works by religious and political leaders; scholastic philosophers and contemplative hermits; monks and nuns; poets and artists; and aristocrats and commoners. The selected readings reflect the profound role of Buddhist sources in shaping Tibetan culture while illustrating other major areas of knowledge. Thematically varied, they address history and historiography; political and social theory; law; medicine; divination; rhetoric; aesthetic theory; narrative; travel and geography; folksong; and philosophical and religious learning, all in relation to the unique trajectories of Tibetan civil and scholarly discourse. The editors begin each chapter with a survey of broader social and cultural contexts and introduce each translated text with a concise explanation. Concluding with writings that extend into the early twentieth century, this volume offers an expansive encounter with Tibet's exceptional intellectual heritage.

Download or read book Charming Cadavers written by Liz Wilson and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1996-12 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this highly original study of sexuality, desire, the body, and women, Liz Wilson investigates first-millennium Buddhist notions of spirituality. She argues that despite the marginal role women played in monastic life, they occupied a very conspicuous place in Buddhist hagiographic literature. In narratives used for the edification of Buddhist monks, women's bodies in decay (diseased, dying, and after death) served as a central object for meditation, inspiring spiritual growth through sexual abstention and repulsion in the immediate world. Taking up a set of universal concerns connected with the representation of women, Wilson displays the pervasiveness of androcentrism in Buddhist literature and practice. She also makes persuasive use of recent historical work on the religious lives of women in medieval Christianity, finding common ground in the role of miraculous afflictions. This lively and readable study brings provocative new tools and insights to the study of women in religious life.
