Download or read book Chinese Spirit-Medium Cults in Singapore written by Alan Elliott and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-19 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concentration of this monograph on Chinese spirit mediumship in Singapore is chiefly a device for focussing attention upon the most typical, although rather extreme, manifestation of the major religious orientation of the overseas Chinese. The accounts given here may chiefly be of value as a detailed record of religious rites, but it is hoped that the rites, shown in their institutional context, can also throw some light upon the wider ramifications of culture and society among the Chinese

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond the Threshold is the first book to seriously consider the interplay between traditional world religions and metaphysical experiences in exploring the timeless question of what happens when we die. Christopher M. Moreman examines and compares the beliefs and practices of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism, as well as psychic phenomena such as mediums and near-death experiences. While ultimately the afterlife remains unknowable, Moreman's unique, in-depth exploration of both beliefs and experiences can help readers reach their own understanding of the afterlife and how to live.

Download or read book A Chinese Bestiary written by Richard E. Strassberg and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-11-03 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Chinese Bestiary presents a fascinating pageant of mythical creatures from a unique and enduring cosmography written in ancient China. The Guideways through Mountains and Seas, compiled between the fourth and first centuries b.c.e., contains descriptions of hundreds of fantastic denizens of mountains, rivers, islands, and seas, along with minerals, flora, and medicine. The text also represents a wide range of beliefs held by the ancient Chinese. Richard Strassberg brings the Guideways to life for modern readers by weaving together translations from the work itself with information from other texts and recent archaeological finds to create a lavishly illustrated guide to the imaginative world of early China. Unlike the bestiaries of the late medieval period in Europe, the Guideways was not interpreted allegorically; the strange creatures described in it were regarded as actual entities found throughout the landscape. The work was originally used as a sacred geography, as a guidebook for travelers, and as a book of omens. Today, it is regarded as the richest repository of ancient Chinese mythology and shamanistic wisdom. The Guideways may have been illustrated from the start, but the earliest surviving illustrations are woodblock engravings from a rare 1597 edition. Seventy-six of those plates are reproduced here for the first time, and they provide a fine example of the Chinese engraver's art during the late Ming dynasty. This beautiful volume, compiled by a well-known specialist in the field, provides a fascinating window on the thoughts and beliefs of an ancient people, and will delight specialists and general readers alike.

Download or read book Discovering the Book of Changes - a Journey written by Graham Taylor and published by Paragon Publishing. This book was released on 2012-09 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a fresh, fascinating look at the Book of Changes, tracing the mythical and legendary rulers, along with the Taoist and Confucian origins within it, and considering the role of each in the making of the Book of Changes. Essentially, it is offered to the reader as a detailed reappraisal of the wisdom contained within the ancient text. Whether you are old or new to the Book of Changes you will gain much from the practical advice contained in this in-depth, well-researched work. You will discover the Book of Changes is a mirror into yourself and as such, you will learn, through your own inner mirror, to 'know thyself'. Through such a process, you will also learn to enhance your psyche, intuition and instincts, all neglected since the rise of modernity. You will discover, for the first time, the 'true' meaning of colour within the Book of Changes, according to the ancient Taoist, and its practical use in daily life. In addition, you will find out about the workings of an ancient magic charm, in trigram form, also for the first time, which opens up possibilities that a magical formula lies within the Book of Changes. It is a work you will want to reread.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These seven essays on the structure of Chinese society are based on articles contributed by Fei to Chinese newspapers in 1947 and 1948. Six case histories from a study of the gentry by Yung-teh Chow are appended. "The chief interest and charm of this book lie in the fact that it is not directed to the Western reader; these were studies written in Chinese, by an erudite Chinese, for a Chinese public. . . . Mrs. Redfield is to be complimented for her own careful research in preparing this translation for a non-Chinese public."—Robert F. Spencer, American Anthropologist
