Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the precarious world of show business, fifty years of success is almost unheard of. But Hawai'i's Jack and Cha Thompson have weathered the formidable odds- beginning in 1969 as two kids fresh out of a local public high school and performing in the nightclubs of Waikiki. With little business acumen but incredible grit and a deep love for their Polynesian culture, they earned their stripes not just as performers but as entrepreneurs who created the entertainment empire known as Tihati Productions. Visitors and islanders who have thrilled to a Tihati revue will treasure the behind-the-scenes glimpses of this remarkable family enterprise, garnered through interviews, anecdotes, and personal reflections. Today, the Tihati journey stands as a vital landmark in Island entertainment history.

Book Synopsis The Notion of Ditthi in Theravada Buddhism by : Paul Fuller
Download or read book The Notion of Ditthi in Theravada Buddhism written by Paul Fuller and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-12-31 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The notion of 'view' or 'opinion' (ditthi) as an obstacle to 'seeing things as they are' is a central concept in Buddhist thought. This book considers the two ways in which the notion of views are usually understood. Are we to understand right-view as a correction of wrong-views (the opposition understanding) or is the aim of the Buddhist path the overcoming of all views, even right-view (the no-views understanding)? The author argues that neither approach is correct. Instead he suggests that the early texts do not understand right-view as a correction of wrong-view, but as a detached order of seeing, completely different from the attitude of holding to any view, wrong or right.
