Download or read book Home Is Here written by Liên Shutt and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2023-08-22 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide to living the Engaged Four Noble Truths: antiracist practices for wholeness, healing, and collective liberation. For readers of Be the Refuge, The Way of Tenderness, Love and Rage, and Radical Dharma. Home is Here builds on foundational Buddhist teachings—the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path—offering an intersectional frame to help you embody antiracist practices and tend to your own healing under racism and oppression. Grounded in practice, memoir, and mindful self-help skill-building, Rev. Liên Shutt’s Engaged Four Noble Truths illuminate a path toward healing and liberation. She shares her own experiences with anti-Asian hate—as a teen riding her bike, meditating in whitewashed monasteries—and asks, what does it mean to attend to our suffering in body, heart, and mind when racism can cause such intense hurt and pain? What does it look like to heal? While written mainly for Asian American Buddhists and other BIPOC practitioners, Home is Here moves us all from knowing and contemplation to a place of action and wholeness. In the doing is the realization, and in practicing antiracism, we build a home for all beings. This is reflected in Rev. Shutt’s choice to frame each step of the Engaged Eightfold Path not as “right” but as “skillful”—to convey both the knowing and the practices essential to healing harm. In this way: Skillful view helps us understand and unpack the layers of our racial conditioning within systemic white supremacy. Skillful motivation allows us to understand our agency and align our actions with wholeness. Skillful effort guides us when working through difficult or triggering situations Skillful speech helps us communicate wholly truthfully, even (and especially) when navigating challenging conversations. An engaged reframing of core Buddhist spiritual principles, Home is Here connects foundational practices to urgent causes—and invites readers on a path home to wholeness.

Book Synopsis The River Twice by : Kathleen Graber
Download or read book The River Twice written by Kathleen Graber and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2019-09-10 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An impressive new collection from a poet whose previous book was a finalist for both the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award Taking its title from Heraclitus's most famous fragment, The River Twice is an elegiac meditation on impermanence and change. The world presented in these poems is a fluid one in which so much—including space and time, the subterranean realm of dreams, and language itself—seems protean, as the speaker's previously familiar understanding of the self and the larger systems around it gives way. Kathleen Graber’s poems wander widely, from the epistolary to the essayistic, shuffling the remarkable and unremarkable flotsam of contemporary life. One thought, one memory, one bit of news flows into the next. Yet, in a century devoted to exponentially increasing speed, The River Twice unfolds at the slow pace of a river bend. While the warm light of ideas and things flashes upon the surface, that which endures remains elusive—something glimpsed only for an instant before it is gone.
Book Synopsis Six Circles, One Dewdrop by : Arthur H. Thornhill
Download or read book Six Circles, One Dewdrop written by Arthur H. Thornhill and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Noh drama has long fascinated Westerners by its poetic excellence and its dramatic power. To the student of medieval Japanese culture, however, noh writings, especially dramaturgical treatises, are also of immense value as "monuments" of culture. To uncover the larger patterns of cultural discourse in these theoretical works, Arthur Thornhill presents the first major study in English of the dramaturgical treatises of Komparu Zenchiku (1405-1468?), son-in-law and pupil of the illustrious Zeami and a pivotal figure in the history of Japanese noh drama. The book begins with annotated translations of two of Zenchiku's most important treatises, which delineate a system of seven symbolic categories called "six circles and one dewdrop." Especially significant are two commentaries appended to the first treatise and composed by the Buddhist prelate Shigyoku (1383-1463) and Ichijo Kaneyoshi (1402-1481), the renowned court official and scholar of native literature and the Chinese classics. Together Zenchiku's symbolic system and the two commentaries reveal a microcosm of the intellectual and cultural dialogue among the dominant creeds of the Muromachi period--Buddhism, Confucianism, and Shinto. Originally published in 1993. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
Download or read book Nobody Home written by Gary Snyder and published by Trinity University Press. This book was released on 2014-11-11 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thoughtful, affectionate collection of interviews and letters spanning three decades, beloved poet Gary Snyder talks with South African writer and scholar Julia Martin. Over this period many things changed decisively—globally, locally, and in their personal lives—and these changing conditions provide the back story for a long conversation. It begins in the early 1980s as an intellectual exchange between an earnest graduate student and a generous distinguished writer, and becomes a long-distance friendship and an exploration of spiritual practice. At the project’s heart is Snyder’s understanding of Buddhism. Again and again, the conversations return to an explication of the teachings. Snyder’s characteristic approach is to articulate a direct experience of Buddhist practice rather than any kind of abstract philosophy. In the version he describes here, this practice finds expression not primarily as an Asian import or a monastic ideal, but in the specificities of a householder’s life as lived creatively in a particular location at a particular moment in history. This means that whatever “topic” a dialogue explores, there is a sense that all of it is about practice—the spiritual-social practice of a contemporary poet.

Book Synopsis The Return Of All That Is Good by : John Ernest Monse
Download or read book The Return Of All That Is Good written by John Ernest Monse and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2019-01-09 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mr. Banta Algthrop and his friend Phlewellen, two Oglanders, grew up in a universe different from ours on a planet named Oglantia. Oglanders are a people we know here on earth as Tardigrades or Water Bears - small creatures who live in dewdrops and have been found by scientist to be considerably resilient. When they venture outside their dewdrop environment, they reach heights of fourteen to twenty feet. Like our people, they struggled through the ages for spiritual growth. After they attained fulfillment, they traveled throughout the stars of their universe upon a great ship named Homeward Bound Always seeking ever greater knowledge, maturity, and wisdom. Suddenly, in a burst of great light, the Spirit of Creation pulled the Oglanders and their great ship into our universe. They traveled through the stars until they reached our small planet. Their purpose here was to maintain the earth and its primary inhabitants, the creatures who were the embryos of the Spirit. The Return Of All That Is Good tells a tale that begins with a small girl, Annabelle, who is running for her life from a great tiger with long fangs. Annabelle scampers up an ancient tree hoping to escape certain death. At the instant she feared she may be lost, the Spirit rises from a dewdrop and engulfs the three characters in a great tornadic, spiritual event that separates them from all the world so that Annabelle, the great beast of the forest, and the ancient tree were surrounded by an impenetrable wall of wind. Within the protection of the Spirit, the three characters instantly become friends who can clearly communicate with each other. Banta suddenly stands amid the confused group and is immediately recognized by the great beast and the ancient tree. Under the influence of the Spirit, they remembered previous times when Banta influenced their lives. The story continues with Banta returning Annabelle to her parents and altering the spirits within the beast and the ancient tree so that they would always be friends on an unconscious level. The purpose instilled within them was to protect Annabelle throughout her life, so she could fulfill the purpose of the Spirit. Banta wields spiritual power throughout the times of the earth. We are given glimpses of how Water Bears work among human beings with stories like Annabelle's, the Bensond family during the period that America is being settled, and the later story of the children who struggle on this world just prior to the return of the Great King. The story threads many events from around the world that occur just prior to the King's return. I have come to believe that during the end times, there is no great, powerful nation on the other side of the world that protects Israel from its enemies who use its country as a staging area for all the lust of war that engulfs them. So, I build a potential scenario for why that is. We are bombarded with evidence that alien ships and their occupants fly above us, walk among us, and even die on the surface of our planet. For me, there is a most obvious answer as to why. The book ties together the great powers of earth in a time prior to our King's return. The armies march from far distances to meet at a place prophesied long ago. They cannot help themselves but struggle with all their might to meet their goal of world dominance. But in the end, the Good King steps upon the earth and meets His good friends, the Water Bears who have served Him from the beginning.
Download or read book Danger on Peaks written by Gary Snyder and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2014-09-22 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When first published in 2004, Danger on Peaks was the poet's first new collection of poems in twenty years. Perhaps his most personal, autobiographical collection, it begins with the young poet ascending Mt. St. Helens in 1945, a climb accidentally timed with the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He was 15 years old. Almost sixty years later, after the great Buddhas at Bamiyan Valley were bombed and with the victims of the World Trade Center also "turned to dust," the poet composed a prayer while at Short Grass Temple in Senso–ji, a pilgrim on the path of Kannon, Goddess of Mercy. This remarkable collection was greeted with broad praise, and as Julia Martin proclaimed, "Moving between relative and absolute ways of seeing, [Snyder] responds to the experience of global conflict and personal pain by reminding readers of the continuity of wildness, affirming the value of art, and invoking an ancient practice of wisdom and compassion."
