Book Synopsis Romaji Diary and Sad Toys by : Takuboku Ishikawa
Download or read book Romaji Diary and Sad Toys written by Takuboku Ishikawa and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2011-09-20 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The novella Romaji Diary represents the first instance of a Japanese writer using romaji (roman script) to tell stories in a way that could not be told in kana or kanji. Sad Toys is a collection of 194 Tanka, the traditional 31 syllable poems that are evocative of Japan's misty past and its tentative steps into the wider world. The publication of this edition of two of Takuboku Ishikawa's finest and most popular works together in translation has proven to be interesting from various standpoints. Romaji Diary and the collection of tanka, Sad Toys, while different forms of literature, are not as dissimilar as they appear on the surface. Takuboku himself wrote that poetry "must be an exact report, an honest diary, of the changes in a man’s emotional life," and these tanka are indeed as much a diary as a standard prose one. Both works reflect clearly, honestly, and poignantly the emotions and philosophy of a complex individual living in a time of profound change in Japan. Romaji Diary is here presented in full in English for the first time.
Book Synopsis Complete Enlightenment by : Chan Master Sheng Yen
Download or read book Complete Enlightenment written by Chan Master Sheng Yen and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 1999-01-26 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Complete Enlightenment is the first authoritative translation and commentary on The Sutra of Complete Enlightenment, a central text that shaped the development of East Asian Buddhism and Ch'an (Chinese Zen). The text is set in the form of a transcription of discussions between the Buddha and the twelve enlightened beings(bodhisattvas), who question him on all aspects of spiritual practice. This new translation preserves all the liveliness and nuance of the text in the original Chinese. The sutra's ancient wisdom is brought to life by the commentaries of Master Sheng-yen, one of the most revered living Buddhist masters in the Ch'an lineage. This is truly a manual for the spiritual journey toward complete enlightenment, providing the key to the deep, poetic, and practical meanings of the scripture.
