Download or read book Buddha in the Crown written by John Clifford Holt and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1991-01-31 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historical, anthropological, and philosophical in approach, Buddha in the Crown is a case study in religious and cultural change. It examines the various ways in which Avalokitesvara, the most well known and proliferated bodhisattva of Mahayana Buddhism throughout south, southeast, and east Asia, was assimilated into the transforming religious culture of Sri Lanka, one of the most pluralistic in Asia. Exploring the expressions of the bodhisattva's cult in Sanskrit and Sinhala literature, in iconography, epigraphy, ritual, symbol, and myth, the author develops a provocative thesis regarding the dynamics of religious change. Interdisciplinary in scope, addressing a wide variety of issues relating to Buddhist thought and practice, and providing new and original information on the rich cultural history of Sri Lanka, this book will interest students of Buddhism and South Asia.

Download or read book Learning from Gal Oya written by Norman Thomas Uphoff and published by Intermediate Technology Publications. This book was released on 1996 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first paperback edition - with a new introduction - recounts the drama of a remarkably successful experiment that introduced farmer organization for self-managed development in the largest and most run down, conflict-ridden irrigation system in Sri-Lanka, and now updates the story to record the author's picture of Gal Oya in 1996. Gal Oya, initially considered one of the least desirable areas in the country, became one of the most progressive and peaceful during the 1980's. People reshaped their working and living conditions and accomplished changes no-one previously thought possible. In an unusual combination of description and analysis, Norman Uphoff seeks to interpret the Gal Oya project and draws far-reaching conclusions for participatory development and contemporary social science. He documents and analyses the remarkable progress made by farmers, community organizers, researchers and, finally, policy-makers, iteratively forging progressive changes in the midst of ethnic and political strife.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fundamentalism Project Edited by Martin E. Marty and R. Scott Appleby Around the world, fundamentalist movements are profoundly affecting the way we live. Misinformation and misperception about fundamentalism exacerbate conflicts at home and abroad. Yet policymakers, journalists, students, and others have lacked any comprehensive resource on the explosive phenomenon of fundamentalism. Now the Fundamentalism Project has assembled an international team of scholars for a multivolume assessment of the history, scope, sources, character, and impact of fundamentalist movements within the world's major religious traditions. Fundamentalisms and Society shows how fundamentalist movements have influenced human relations, education, women's rights, and scientific research in over a dozen nations and within the traditions of Islam, Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, and Hinduism. Drawn from the fields of anthropology, sociology, history of religion, and history of science, the contributors cover topics such as the educational structures of Hindu revivalism, women in fundamentalist Iran and Pakistan, and the creationist cosmos of Protestant fundamentalism. In a concluding essay, William H. McNeill situates contemporary fundamentalisms within a world historical context. The Fundamentalism Project, Volume 2 Martin E. Marty and R. Scott Appleby direct the Fundamentalism Project. Marty, the Fairfax M. Cone Distinguished Service Professor of the History of Modern Christianity at the University of Chicago, is the senior editor of the Christian Century and the author of numerous books, including the multivolume Modern American Religion, also published by the University of Chicago Press. Appleby, a research associate at the University of Chicago, is the author of “Church and Age Unite!” The Modernist Impulse in American Catholicism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The submissive figure of Mary, the Mother of Jesus, has influenced the Church's attitude to women for 2000 years. Yet Mary, in the Gospels, has a radical and challenging message to convey, of central importance for feminist and other liberation theologians. This is a book which caused a furore in the Roman Catholic Church and the excommunication of its author.
