Buddhist Tradition
The Lotus and The Lion
Buddhism is indisputably gaining prominence in the West, as is evidenced by the growth of Buddhist practice within many traditions and keen interest in meditation and mindfulness. In The Lotus and the Lion, the author traces the historical and cultural origins of Western Buddhism, showing that the British Empire was a primary engine for curiosity about and then engagement with the Buddhisms that the British encountered in India and elsewhere in Asia.
The Religion of India
Max Weber's early twentieth-century study of the religions and civilization of India is a great pioneering adventure in the sociology of ancient India. Weber's insight and analysis-especially his application of the sociological perspective to the work of classical Indologists and the religious texts available to him-were to add much to the store of the social scientist. Later, historians and archaeologist were to confirm a surprising number of Weber's theories.
The Tibetan Book of the Great Liberation
The Two Truths in Chinese Buddhism
This book originates from a thesis work whereby it is one of the first comprehensive study of Chi-tsang's treatment of The Two Truths in English. The work aims to build up a strong interest in readers, paritularly, people in Western societies who are unfamiliar with Chinese tradition, culture and language. It is, therefore, of considerable significance in enabling scholarly readers who do not have access to Chinese Originals to gain a well-rounded and diversified appreciation of Madhyamaka interpretation.
Together We Are One
What is your true name? Where is your true home? Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh demonstrates how connecting with our ancestors and our unique cultural backgrounds can lead us to a deeper sense of community. The book inlcudes insights on how to heal our individual and collective suffering, personal stories from people of many backgrounds and teachings on mindfulness practice. This is a deeply inspirational and practical guide.
