Book Synopsis The Art of Speech by : Langman, Dawn
Download or read book The Art of Speech written by Langman, Dawn and published by Temple Lodge Publishing. This book was released on 2014-10-06 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘The Art of Speech offers to the English language a systematic, in-depth and thoroughly readable exploration of Rudolf Steiner’s original exercises. Langman’s contribution, developed over decades of research, performance and teaching, is filled with relevance for today’s speech artists. The powerful spiritual inspirations that stand behind the spoken word are infused throughout, giving this book its wings.’ – Dr Diane Caracciolo, Associate Professor of Educational Theatre, Adelphi University ‘Langman’s seminal work leads the artist through a portal to an experience of the heart and the genius of speech as “the activity of divine creative beings”.’ – Dr Jane Gilmer, Assistant Professor of Drama, VPA, National Institute of Education, Singapore ‘A prodigious work, intriguing, enlightening and passionate – and the co-ordination with Chekhov invaluable… Those fortunate enough to see Dawn’s solo performances of King Lear and Kaspar Hauser know that this book is the fruit of living and loving experience.’ – Sophia Walsh, pioneer teacher and artist of Speech Formation in the English language, Dornach, Switzerland The Art of Speech presents a dynamic path of practice leading to an experience of the Word as a living, healing and creative power. Helping to deliver Western intellectual speech from what Artaud described as ‘shrivelled throats’ and ‘monstrous talking abstractions’, Langman brings to life the spiritual realities out of which a true Art of Speech arises. Inspired by Rudolf Steiner and pioneered initially in the German language by Marie Steiner, this artform is illuminated here through the genius of the English language. Langman builds a bridge between mainstream research into the intrinsic nature of Speech, and the levels of spiritual cognition that led to Rudolf Steiner’s insights. Speech and language can no longer be reduced to an arbitrary collection of abstract symbols, she asserts. This book will inspire those working with these disciplines as practitioners (both artistic and therapeutic) as well as those who wish to understand their significance in human evolution, both past and future. Following her first book The Art of Acting, this volume completes a foundation of understanding for an exploration – in the conclusion of Langman’s trilogy – of an integrated art of speech and acting. Grounded in the spiritual reality of the human being, Langman presents a systematic methodology with which to explore Rudolf Steiner’s Speech and Drama Course.
Book Synopsis AN2 - Collection of Numbered Speeches by : Tomás Morales y Durán
Download or read book AN2 - Collection of Numbered Speeches written by Tomás Morales y Durán and published by Libros de Verdad. This book was released on 2024-03-31 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the Aṅguttara Nikāya is known as the "Numbered" or "Numerical" Discourses, its etymology may give us clues to its origin. The word Aṅguttara is composed of aṅga, which in pāli and Sanskrit means "member" or "division" and uttara meaning "northern". In Sanskrit "north" is used figuratively also in the sense of superior, above, so uttara could be figuratively translated as "more than" in an incremental sense. The different categories into which the early Buddhist canonical texts prior to Hinayana scholasticism were divided were called aṅgās. Originally categories were made depending on the type of material within the various texts and later, it was used to classify those same texts. Aṅguttara can therefore refer to its geographical origin as "northern division" or "incremental division". The second meaning seems clear with respect to the organization in books, from the book of ones, successively up to the book of eleven, where discourses are grouped in relation to the number of teaching topics they contain. However, "northern division", besides being the most direct translation, can give clues about its geographical origin, considering, in addition, that the pāli itself is linguistically related to the Prakrit dialects of northwestern India, but where it appears is in the south. This second book, that of the Twos maintains the matrix structure of Mātikās of the previous book, serving as a mnemonic base of headings to be remembered, so it is not very readable and, therefore, its interest is very scarce. We can highlight AN 2.61, on the permanent female dissatisfaction as a very curious original contribution.
Book Synopsis Public Speaking for Success by : Dale Carnegie
Download or read book Public Speaking for Success written by Dale Carnegie and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2006-05-04 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dale Carnegie, author of the legendary How to Win Friends and Influence People, began his career as the premier "life coach" of the twentieth century by teaching the art of public speaking. Public speaking, as Carnegie saw it, is a vital skill that can be attained through basic and repeated steps. His classic volume on the subject appeared in 1926 and was revised twice-in shortened versions-in 1956 and 1962. This 2006 revision-edited by a longtime consultant to Dale Carnegie & Associates, Inc., and the editor in charge of updating How to Win Friends and Influence People-is the definitive one for our era. While up-to-date in its language and points of reference, Public Speaking for Success preserves the full range of ideas and methods that appeared in the original: including Carnegie's complete speech and diction exercises, which follow each chapter, as the author originally designated them. This edition restores Carnegie's original appendix of the three complete self-help classics: Acres of Diamonds by Russell H. Conwell, As a Man Thinketh by James Allen, and A Message to Garcia by Elbert Hubbard. Carnegie included these essays in his original edition because, although they do not directly relate to public speaking, he felt they would be of great value to the readers. Here is the definitive update of the best-loved public-speaking book of all time.
Book Synopsis Ethics in Speech and Language Therapy by : Richard Body

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethics in Speech and Language Therapy is a key text for students, practitioners and managers alike. The demands of practice, legislation, registration and the recognition of competencies all point to the need for speech and language therapists to be explicitly educated about ethics. This book provides an overview of this key topic, grounds ethical practice in the broader context of morals and values; discusses frameworks for ethical decision making; discusses common ethical issues in speech and language therapy practice and service management; and considers factors which complicate ethical decision making.
Book Synopsis AN6 - Collection of Numbered Speeches by : Tomás Morales y Durán
Download or read book AN6 - Collection of Numbered Speeches written by Tomás Morales y Durán and published by Libros de Verdad. This book was released on 2024-03-31 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sixth book of the Aṅguttara Nikāya, the Collection of the Numbered Discourses of the Buddha, collects 649 suttas or discourses whose subject matter is almost always centered on groups of six topics. And I say almost always, because there are not many topics in the texts of six elements, so many are forced as in the case of chapter 11 called triads because they are just that, triads. And well, since three plus three is six... two triads are put in and we have, supposedly, a sextet ready to be included in the Book of Sixes. But we will also see that six is made by adding one to five, or two to a group of four... In AN 6.29 he talks all the time about five things and ends up adding another to complete the six. Although this book also contains suttas to be read, except for the final Mātikās contained in the last chapters, its content remains uninteresting. It is becoming increasingly clear that the Anguttara Nikaya bases its popularity on its traditionally terrible translations that force the reader to go about inventing extrapolations to help him skip abstruse paragraphs, providing that undefined mysterious halo of the abstract. In the section of anecdotal suttas, we have AN 6.42 with Nāgita. In it the Buddha rants against fame and its drawbacks, such as the difficulty of being able to shit or pee in peace, with five hundred followers who do not stop following you wherever you go. We can highlight AN 6.18 A fish merchant where the Buddha exposes professions where his cruelty is not even economically compensated. AN 6.60 with Hatthisāriputta denounces the danger of teaching jhānas to people who are not going to pawn them for enlightenment. Finally, the group from AN 6.92 to AN 6.93 called Things that cannot be done, where obviousness is exposed, such as that it is absurd for someone with the correct belief to think of taking as a teacher someone who is not a Tataghata. Interestingly, this book lacks false suttas. In short, we are still engaged in an arduous and exhaustive work of research and reconstruction in comparative linguistics to unravel some texts without much interest.
Download or read book Original Perfection written by and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-07-22 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These early, foundational Dzogchen texts--clear, lyrical, and rich in metaphor--were smuggled into Tibet in the eighth century on white silk, written in goat-milk ink that would become visible only when exposed to heat. These five texts are the root of Dzogchen practice, the main practice of the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism. Vairotsana, a master among the first generation of Tibetan Buddhists, reveals here a truth that is at once simple and deeply profound: that all existence--life itself, everyone one of us--is originally perfect, just as is. Keith Dowman's sparkling translation and commentary provide insight and historical background, walking the reader through the truths encountered in this remarkable book.

Book Synopsis Give Your Speech, Change the World by : Nick Morgan
Download or read book Give Your Speech, Change the World written by Nick Morgan and published by Harvard Business Review Press. This book was released on 2005-02-23 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you remember the topic of the last speech you heard? If not, you're not alone. In fact, studies show that audiences remember only 10% to 30% of speech or presentation content. Given those bleak statistics, why do we give speeches at all? We give them, says communications expert Nick Morgan, because they remain the most powerful way of connecting with audiences since ancient Greek times. But as we've evolved to a more conversational mode of public speaking, thanks to television, we have forgotten much of what the Greeks taught us about the nonverbal aspects of speech-giving: the physical connection with audiences that can create an almost palpable emotional bond. Morgan says this "kinesthetic connection" comes from truly listening to your audience—not just with your brain but with your body. In this book, he draws from more than 20 years as a speech coach and consultant, combining the best of ancient Greek oratory with modern communications research to offer a new, audience-centered approach to public speaking. Through entertaining and insightful examples, Morgan illustrates a 3 part process—focusing on content development, rehearsal, and delivery—that will enable readers of all experience levels to give more effective, passion-filled speeches that move audiences to action.

Book Synopsis Padavali Prayers by : Vivekananda Kendra
Download or read book Padavali Prayers written by Vivekananda Kendra and published by Vivekananda Kendra. This book was released on 2016-05-31 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the various camps that are conducted by Vivekananda Kendra, participants come from different parts of the country. During the camps there are morning and evening prayers and also songs before and at the end of various sessions. All these prayers are given in “Padavali” - the booklet of songs and prayers brought out by Vivekananda Kendra. Participants ask for the meanings of these prayers. Sometimes it is possible to explain the meanings of the prayers during the shibirs but some time it is not possible. Therefore it was felt that a booklet which gives word to word meaning as well as short explanation should be brought out. Thus this book “Padavali Prayers with meanings” is being brought out. Our prayers from Padavali which are mainly taken from the Vedic literature are not just for asking something from Ishwara but are for moulding oneself on the vision of Oneness. The Sadhak sings these prayers for developing the right mind and attitude so as to be able to see everything as Ishwara and contribute in Ishwara’s work. Thus if the chanting of prayers is accompanied with deep contemplation on the meaning then it could be very elevating. We hope this small booklet would be useful not only for the participants coming for the various camps of Vivekananda Kendra but also for other aspirants too.

Download or read book Ocean of Attainments written by and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2024-04-16 with total page 835 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This commentary on Guhyasamaja tantra is the seminal guide to deity yoga and tantric visualization for the Geluk school of Tibetan Buddhism. Ocean of Attainments was composed by Khedrup Jé Gelek Palsang (1385–1438), one of Tsongkhapa Losang Drakpa’s most prominent disciples. Its subject is the creation stage, a quintessential Buddhist tantric meditation that together with the completion stage comprises the path of unexcelled tantra. The Guhyasamaja Tantra, referred to as the “king of all tantras,” is revered in Tibet, especially by the Geluk school, for its hermeneutic methods, which are in turn applied to other tantras. In the creation stage, meditators visualize themselves as buddhas at the center of the celestial mandala, surrounded in all directions by male and female bodhisattvas and enlightened beings. Since the core of the practice is visualization, this meditation—perhaps more than other meditations—presumes the creative power of the mind. Visualizations form the basis not only of the creation stage and deity yoga but of all tantric practices and rituals, since tantric practice takes place not in mundane existence but in the illusion-like purity of the enlightened view. While the previously published Essence of the Ocean of Attainments is a concise exposition on the practice of the Guhyasamaja sadhana, Ocean of Attainments is much more detailed, providing extensive scriptural citations, clear explanation of the body mandala, arguments on points of contention, reference to other tantric systems, and critiques of misinterpretations. Complemented by the extensive and clear introduction, this volume is a vital contribution to the growing body of scholarship on Guhyasamaja and on Buddhist tantra in general.

Book Synopsis Buddhist Approach to Global Education in Ethics by : Thich Duc Thien
Download or read book Buddhist Approach to Global Education in Ethics written by Thich Duc Thien and published by VIETNAM BUDDHIST UNIVERSITY PUBLICATIONS. This book was released on 2019-04-16 with total page 765 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EDITORS’ INTRODUCTION This volume is a collection of papers presented at the international workshop on “Buddhist Approach to Global Education in Ethics” which is being held on May 13, 2019, at International Conference Center Tam Chuc, Ha Nam, Vietnam on the occasion of the 16th United Nations Day of Vesak Celebrations 2019. The aim is to throw new light on the values of the global ethical system with a focus on the Buddhist approach in deepening our understanding of how Buddhist ethics can deliver a social change in the globalized world. REVIEW OF CONTENTS Prof. P. D. Premasiri in his paper titled “Universally valid ethical norms of Buddhism applicable to global education in ethics” deals with hindrance in determining the basis for global education in ethics and providing undeniable facts about the diversity involved in ethical norms, principles and attitudes of various global communities. The author also discusses the characteristics of Buddhist teaching on a humanistic approach to the moral life with perceptions of enlightened humans, i.e. ‘Knowledgeable Persons’ (vi¤¤å purisà). The paper places further emphasis on the necessity to draw the attention of educators to train the minds of humans on ethical choices in accordance with such decisions. The paper entitled “Teaching Buddhist Ethics through the Life of the Buddha and Jesus” by Abraham Velez De Cea has proposed a new approach to the Buddhist ethical way of teaching and its application through interpretations of the Buddha’s life from the perspective of virtue ethics and meditation. The purpose is to heighten the Buddhist contribution being made to global education in ethical issues. The paper is divided into two parts, Buddhist ethics as a form of virtue ethics and secondly, interpretation of the Buddha’s teachings from the perspective of virtue ethics and meditation.
