Book Synopsis Buddhist India by : Thomas William Rhys Davids
Download or read book Buddhist India written by Thomas William Rhys Davids and published by Motilal Banarsidass Publ.. This book was released on 1971 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1903. In this volume Rhys, the celebrated Buddhist scholar, attempts to describe ancient India, during the period of Buddhist ascendancy, from the point of view, not so much of the brahmin, as of the rajput. The two points of view naturally differ very much. Priest and noble in India have always worked very well together so long as the question at issue did not touch their own rival claims as against one another. When it did-and it did so especially during the period referred to-the harmony, as will be evident from the following pages, was not so great.

Still more difficult, perhaps, to one who should have outgrown, in some degree at least, as is hoped, the Christian limitation, to preserve still the perfect poise, to escape prepossession on the other side, and draw the picture without a shade of flattery.

Download or read book The Religions of India written by Allan Menzies and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religions of India: Brahmanism and Buddhism The study of religions outside of Christianity has now overcome many of the prejudices which hindered its earlier growth. It has no longer to contend with the suspicion that the effort to understand other religions will make us attach less value to our own. On the contrary, the tendency of the study of religions is seen more and more to strengthen the hold of Christianity upon us. The student of this science is led to see very clearly how all men need religion and have provided themselves in one way or another with access to'the powers above them. But it happens very rarely that even the most sympathetic study of a foreign religion leads anyone to prefer it to his own. In contemplating other faiths, we do, it is true, become aware that some features of Christianity are stronger than others and do more to qualify it to spread over the world. We have to distinguish between the essence of Christianity, in which lies the secret of its power, and its accidental features. That surely must confirm and not weaken the tie that binds us to Christ. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

For although most of the stories contained in our sources are, so far as their contents are con cerned, the common property of the Indian people and were known all over India, yet in the form in which they appear in the Jatakas, they belong to a particular part of India, namely, the north-east, the home of Buddhism.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Layman Revato a Story of a Restless Mind in Buddhist India at the Time of Greek Influence Buddhist Constantine. It projects an interplay between Buddhism and Hellenism, like that which has left a trace on the Punjab monuments, into the Ganges valley at this earlier period; yet where and when an intercourse had actually been established for two generations. We shall see an architect and sculptor, whom Asoko has procured from a Western land, beautifully externalizing the conceptions of the puritanic Buddhism, yet perverting them by an idolatrous apotheosis. As we bring together, in many ways, the cultures and ideals of East and West, we shall observe their reactions, thus making a moral laboratory study of the world. But this is not all that my book means. So com plex are its contents and purposes, that I do not know how to indicate them in brief. On one hand, it is a conglomerate from the literature of its age.

Book Synopsis Discourse in Early Buddhist Art by : Vidya Dehejia
Download or read book Discourse in Early Buddhist Art written by Vidya Dehejia and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Illustrations: Numerous B/w Illustrations Description: Story-telling is an ever popular activity that occurs across space and time. Which child has not sat enthralled by the magic of story-tellers, and which adult has not succumbed to the seduction of reenactments of great legends? India's ancient Buddhists capitalized on the lure of stories, portraying them visually in stone reliefs and painted murals, to introduce viewers to the Buddhist faith and to confirm them in their belief. Commencing in the first century BC, Buddhist monasteries across the Indian subcontinent were extensively decorated with visual narratives of varying sizes, from a mere twelve inch panel to an extensive fifty foot wall. This book is a pioneering exploration of the manner in which stories are told. It identifies seven modes of visual story-telling used by the artist in early India, considers the reason for one mode being chosen over another, and explores how the effect of a story on the viewer varied according to the manner chosen to portray it. The book is a contribution to the expanding sphere of art, historical investigation and also to the field of Buddhist studies. Contents Preface Photographic Sources Discourse and Story 1.

Book Synopsis The Religions of India (Classic Reprint) by : Auguste Barth
Download or read book The Religions of India (Classic Reprint) written by Auguste Barth and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A. Barth's The Religions of India is a survey of the popular religions of India. Originally written for inclusion in an encyclopedia, Barth later expanded the work to a standalone text, which is more suitable for a document of such depth. The author begins with an examination of the Vedic religions, commonly thought of as the precursor religions to Hinduism. Barth traces the spread of these religions through time and the evolution of ancient religions into more modern religions, proceeding to explore Brahmanism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Hinduism in great depth, highlighting the history and practices of each. Barth writes in a distinguished, authoritative tone. It is apparent that the origin of this writing was inclusion in an encyclopedia, as the text is heavy with facts and raw information. While there is some degree of exposition and argumentative analysis, the focus here is clearly on presenting the information. The Religions of India would make a great textbook. It is clear, concise, and contains a wealth of information. Amateur historians and readers of religious history will likely find this to be an interesting read, and it makes a valuable addition to the library of anybody interested in India's religions.
