Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chinese Life in the Tibetan Foothills These studies were never intended for public consumption, but for personal benefit and enlightenment; and it was only at the request of several friends, coupled with the fear of permanent loss owing to the disturbed state of the country, that I was induced to submit them for publication. The object of the studies was to obtain the Chinese view point concerning the many mysterious customs and practices which perplexed me in daily intercourse with this people. In order to attain this end two things have had to be rigorously guarded against - first, an adverse spirit of criticism, which closes up every avenue of information; and second, the danger of being content when only personal curiosity is satisfied instead of trying to see things as the Chinese see them. It should be stated that no foreign text books have been studied; questions of a scientific, ethnological and comparative nature have been set aside in order to present the local view of the subject in hand. The writer does not claim to have fully attained his end or to have exhausted the information obtainable on any given subject; while variations may be found in almost every county in the province, to say nothing of the whole of China. The little city of Kwan Hsien, which lies 40 miles to the north-west of Chengtu in the province of Szechuan, is the hub of "The Tibetan Foothills." It was from this centre, so richly endowed with natural beauty, so famous for its ancient yet efficient irrigation system, so crowded with a teeming cosmopolitan population, that these pages were gradually compiled. The whole of the subject matter contained in this volume has passed through the pages of the "New China Review," under the editorship of Mr. Samuel Couling to whom I owe a great debt of gratitude for editing the Ms. and correcting the proofs. If the printing, numbering and colour of paper should not be quite uniform all readers will kindly consider the difficulty under which the Editor has laboured while putting these papers through his magazine.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pagoda Shadows: Studies From Life in China HE conversion of China is the heaviest piece of work now left for the Church of Christ to do. No where else on the globe does there exist a compact or homogeneous population of anything like the same extent. The future Church of China will be in mere bulk the greatest branch ever known of the Church universal. But its importance will not be measured by its bulk alone. The Chinese are pretty sure to have a main part to play in the future of Asia. Those who possess the best acquaintance with the farther East, or are best able to forecast its probable development, are of opinion that this swarming Chinese stock, patient, industrious, frugal, ready to migrate, and able to thrive where others starve, is destined to be (next, perhaps, to the anglo-american) a predominant element in the lands that are washed by the Pacific Ocean.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Abode of Snow: Observations on a Journey From Chinese Tibet to the Indian Caucasus, Through the Upper Valleys of the Himalaya IN the twenty-ninth chapter of this work, I have fully explained how the phrase Abode of Snow is a literal translation of the Sanscrit compound Himalaya, and therefore forms an appropriate title for a. Work treating of those giant mountains. The Abode of Snow par excellence is not in the Himalaya, or even in the Arctic region, but (setting Saturn aside) in the Ant arctic region. Owing to the greater preponderance of ocean in the southern hemisphere, the greatest ao cumulation of ice is round the South Pole; and hence the not improbable theory that, when the accumula tion has reached a certain point, the balance of the earth must he suddenly destroyed, and this orb shall almost instantaneously turn transversely to its axis, moving the great oceans, and so producing one of those cyclical catastrophes which, there is some reason to believe, have before now interfered with the develop ment and the civilisation of the human race.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great Closed Land: A Plea for Tibet It is a far cry - more than 2000 miles - from the Moravian stations among the Tibetan Buddhists of Ladak to the places on the Chinese frontier whence agents of the China Inland Mission are seeking to touch and bless the Eastern Tibetans. A heart-stirring narrative of pioneer toils and trials will be found on pages 84 to 98, and Miss Annie Marston has scarcely given space enough to the noble work done by Mr. Cameron, and by her own sister and her brother-in-law. To Mr. And Mrs. Cecil polhill-turner it has been given in behalf of Christ, not only to believe on Him (and to speak of that saving faith to the Tibetans in their own language), but also to suffer for His sake. Between these extreme posts of the cordon, other Christian missionaries are to be found at points along the borders of Tibet. While serving among the natives of North India, the Agents of the London Missionary Society at Almora, and of the Church of Scotland at Darjiling, have endeavoured to reach the Tibetans by work among the border tribes.

Book excerpt: “An absolutely breathtaking book -- in its thoughtfulness and imaginativeness, in the breadth and depth of the research which it entailed, in its geographical, cultural, and historical situatedness, and in its profound critical empathy for all of the key players. Beautifully and skillfully written.” – Sydney White, Associate Professor of Anthropology, Asian Studies, and Women's Studies at Temple University "The Paper Road is an eloquent, even haunting narrative of the relationships between colonial explorers/scientists and their native collaborators that makes vivid the theme of 'colonial intimacy.' It speaks to scholars working on Chinese minorities and frontier relations, to historians of comparative colonialism, to experts on Tibet and Buddhism, and probably also simply to lovers of tales of mountains and exploration." –Charlotte Furth, Professor Emerita of Chinese History , University of Southern California.

Download or read book The Open Road written by Pico Iyer and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2009-08-17 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most acclaimed and perceptive observers of globalism and Buddhism now gives us the first serious consideration - for Buddhist and non-Buddhist alike - of the Fourteenth Dalai Lama's work and ideas as a politician, scientist, and philosopher. 'Pico Iyer's exceptionally intimate portrait of the Dalai Lama takes us beyond global celebrity image and into a true private audience with a leader of tremendous complexity.' Elizabeth Gilbert, author of bestseller Eat, Pray, Love 'A thoughtful and beautifully written portrait ...[Pico Iyer does an] exemplary job of explaining the complex spiritual and political history that underpins the extraordinary institution that is the Dalai Lama, and illuminating the extraordinary man who presently occupies it.' Daily Telegraph Pico Iyer has been engaged in conversation with the Dalai Lama (a friend of his father's) for the last three decades - a continuing exploration of his message and its effectiveness. Now, in this insightful, impassioned book, Iyer captures the paradoxes of the Dalai Lama's position: though he has brought the ideas of Tibet to world attention, Tibet itself is being remade as a Chinese province; though he was born in one of the most remote, least developed places on earth, he has become a champion of globalism and technology. He is a religious leader who warns against being needlessly distracted by religion; a Tibetan head of state who suggests that exile from Tibet can be an opportunity; an incarnation of a Tibetan god who stresses his everyday humanity. Moving from Dharamsala, India - the seat of the Tibetan government-in-exile - to Lhasa, Tibet, to venues in the West where the Dalai Lama's pragmatism, rigour, and scholarship are sometimes lost on an audience yearning for mystical visions, The Open Road illuminates the hidden life, the transforming ideas, and the daily challenges of a global icon.

Book excerpt: From the point of view of the scryer telepathy can be of two kinds, experimental and spontaneous. -from "Telepathy" Perhaps the first comprehensive exploration of the ancient art of crystal gazing ever written-and still considered the best-this intriguing 1924 volume roams the history of civilization, from Greece and Rome to modern Europe to aboriginal Australia, to gather fascinating commonalities in the global practice of "scrying." Besterman, a student of the paranormal, discusses: . scrying in legend and tradition . scrying in literature . the procedures of scrying . related phenomena: automatic writing, hauntings, and multiple personalities . why scrying works . and more. Also available from Cosimo Classics: Besterman's A Dictionary of Theosophy. British bibliographer, and editor Theodore Besterman (1904-1976) is remembered chiefly as a scholar of the philosopher Voltaire, though his interests ranged from anthropology to the paranormal.
