What if the self-immolating monks of Vietnam weren't just protesting the war? From Weston Oche's introduction — "Robert Booth’s writing has always had a certain authenticity. He has the capacity to make the unbelievable believable and place his characters comfortably within a narrative structure … There’s a secret formula to writing supernatural fiction and Booth knows it — place believable characters in believable situations and have supernatural events occur. Not everyone knows this. Not everyone can do it. In this work Booth does it perfectly. Enjoy Buddha Hill. It’s a rare treasure from a rare man."
This book presents a collection of teachings given by Venerable Lama Thamthog Rinpoche in several teachings and retreats held at Ghe Pel Ling Institute of Tibetan Buddhist Studies in Milan, Italy. The lessons and this consequent book are the traditionally taught subjects found in the Lam rim (The Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment), written by the Indian scholar and practitioner Atisha in Tibet in the 11th Century and commentated on, amongst many other Tibetan teachers, by Lama Tsong Khapa in the second half of the 14th Century. It includes the entire body of the original teachings of Buddha Śākyamuni, arranged in such an order as to lead the meditator to progressively refine their mind, overcome the afflicted emotions and wrong views and attain the achievement of enlightenment.
Today there are many Buddhists in the West, but for 2000 years the Buddha's teachings were unknown outside Asia. It was not until the late 18th century, when Sir William Oriental Jones, a British judge in India, broke through the Brahmin's prohibition on learning their sacred language. Sanskrit, that clues about the origins of a religion quite distinct from Hinduism began to be deciphered from inscriptions on pillars and rocks. This study tells the story of the search that followed, as evidence mounted that countries as diverse as Ceylon, Japan and Tibet shared a religion which had its origins in India yet was unknown there. British rule brought to India, Burma and Ceylon a whole band of enthusiastic Orientalist amateurs - soldiers, administrators and adventurers - intent on investigating the subcontinent's lost past. Unwittingly, these men helped lay the foundations for the revival of Buddhism in Asia during the 19th century and its spread to the West in the 20th. Charles Allen's book is a mixture of detective work and story-telling, as this acknowledged master of British Indian history pieces together early Buddhist history to bring a handful of extraoridinary characters to life.
A travelogue from the pen of a historian, The Buddha In My Backyard, is a spell-binding account of the monasteries and artefacts ranging from the time of the Buddha in her backyard of Visakhapatnam district. She dwells on the destruction that time, an apathetic state and a society ridden with ignorance of history, have wreaked on these rich remains that speak of a society and culture long past.
In December 1941 Japan set out to seize South-East Asia and the western Pacific to complete the building of a self-sufficient empire. The rapid loss of all of Britain's possessions in the Far East was the culmination of a failed attempt to deal with the rise of Japanese imperialism. Britain's bluff was called and millions of Britain's 'protected' subjects in Asia fell into the hands of a brutal occupying power. The British fought the Second World War in Burma and India against the backdrop of nationalist unrest and revolt. The appalling Bengal famine of 1943, brought about by the loss of Burma's rice crop and the dislocation of government, would cause the deaths of many. Alan Warren provides a new study of the series of battles that made up the Burma campaign, including first-hand accounts of the conflict and a fresh examination of the armies and commanders of the major combatants. Burma 1942 powerfully demonstrates how victory or defeat in particular battles altered the trajectory of the conflict, affecting the lives of millions.
