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.

This book was released on 2018-04-27 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Krohnen's memoir of conversations and life with Jiddu Krishnamurti. From the author's foreword to the 2nd edition: J. Krishnamurti's long and creative life ended in 1986. Subsequently, it took me about ten years to originally compose this book. It was first published in 1997. It presents a view of a great, liberated human being's daily life, from the perspective of his chef who had regular interaction with him. This memoir aims to convey his great sense of humor, to share his anecdotes and jokes, but also to touch on the more serious aspects of his teaching. This second edition keeps a memoir in print that aims to present Krishnamurti in his everyday life-sharing one person's perception of this most extraordinary human being. He lived the teachings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami (1927¿2001) sailed for Sri Lanka in 1947 to find his guru. After years of arduous training, he fell at the feet of the Tamil master, Siva Yogaswami. Following his guru¿s orders, the illumined yogi returned to America to teach the path of enlightenment. Ultimately, he was recognized and befriended by India¿s spiritual leaders as the first Hindu guru born in the West. Gurudeva, as he was affectionately known, founded the Saiva Siddhanta Yoga Order and established Kauai¿s Hindu Monastery in Hawaii. Hinduism¿s many guru lineages are the spiritual rivers that pass the power on through the ages. The lineage that he joined extends to his guru¿s guru, Chellappaswami, and before him to Kadaitswami, then a nameless rishi and countless others, back to Rishi Tirumular and his guru, Maharishi Nandinatha, some 2,200 years ago in the high Himalayas. These are the illustrated stories of Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami, his guru Siva Yogaswami and five preceding masters, who all held truth in the palm of their hand and inspired slumbering souls to ¿Know thy Self.¿
