Book Synopsis Windhorse Warrior by : R C Friedericks
Download or read book Windhorse Warrior written by R C Friedericks and published by Niyogi Books. This book was released on 2018-08-16 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Windhorse Warrior offers an inside look at the struggles and aspirations of the Tibetan people during the 1950s. It is a tale that weaves together the politics of occupation and resistance, an other-worldly romance between a Chinese communist and an educated Tibetan woman, and the soaring vision of the Tibetan spiritual heart. Chuang Wei Ming, a young zealot from Shanghai, arrives in Lithang—on the eastern Tibetan plateau—with a mission to prepare the people for Maoism but soon outgrows its limiting worldview. Chuang falls in love with the beautiful and intelligent Dechen, who introduces him to the richness of Tibetan Buddhism. Palden Rinpoche, Dechen’s spiritual teacher, includes Chuang in their plan for a general spiritual awakening based on the Legend of King Gesar of Ling. Together, they pursue a pure communism infused with Buddhist teachings to create an ‘enlightened society’. This is a story that extends beyond the decade in which it is set. Its message is true today in the global context of oppression and disparity, fake news, and injustice. Those who believe in a just and beautiful world will find themselves longing for an ‘enlightened society’ filled with spiritually awakened women and men, free to pursue their true potential and eager to enrich the lives of others.
Download or read book Riding Windhorses written by Sarangerel and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2000-03-01 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book written about Mongolian and Siberian shamanism by a shaman trained in that tradition. • A thorough introduction to Mongolian and Siberian shamanic beliefs and practices, which, until the collapse of the Soviet Union, were banned from being practiced. • Includes rituals for healing and divination techniques. In traditional Mongolian-Buryat culture, shamans play an important role maintaining the tegsh, the "balance" of the community. They counsel a path of moderation in one's actions and reverence for the natural world, which they view as mother to humanity. Mongolians believe that if natural resources are taken without thanking the spirits for what they have given, those resources will not be replaced. Unlike many other cultures whose shamanic traditions were undermined by modern civilization, shamans in the remote areas of southern Siberia and Mongolia are still the guardians of the environment, the community, and the natural order. Riding Windhorses is the first book written on Mongolian and Siberian shamanism by a shaman trained in that tradition. A thorough introduction to Mongolian/Siberian shamanic beliefs and practices, it includes working knowledge of the basic rituals and various healing and divination techniques. Many of the rituals and beliefs described here have never been published and are the direct teachings of the author's own shaman mentors.

Andrews to the completion of the circle of learning as an apprentice shaman and the start of another quest for the truth only reached through struggle on the human path. Outside of Kathmandu where the majestic Himalayas thrust their jagged peaks against Nepal’s azure sky, Lynn V. Andrews begins her most momentous journey yet. Her destination is a remote valley high in the mountains where she is searching for a secret hidden for three millennia. More than fifteen years ago, Lynn Andrews became an apprentice to Agnes Whistling Elk, an Indigenous shamaness in the far north. Then, with help from other wise women of the Sisterhood of the Shields—a secret society of Indigenous shamaness women from around the world—she continued her quest for selfhood. In Windhorse Woman, on the roof of the world in Nepal, Lynn seeks an urgent solution to both the wounds of woman’s inner self and the ongoing destruction of Mother Earth. Believing the key lies with the healing powers of woman, Lynn follows an extraordinary dream to a Nepalese woman who’ll become her new teacher. But also waiting in this high land of snow is an awesome male force, Windhorse. Unlike the male antagonists of her past who embodied only negative male energies, Windhorse is ready to offer a passionate marriage of spirit and flesh—and a oneness of all-surpassing love able to transform Lynn’s destiny and perhaps our own.
