Lao-tzu's Taoteching: with Selected Commentaries of the Past 2000 Years: Lao-tzu,Red Pine (Bill

Book Description:

Publication Date: April 1, 2001 | ISBN-10: 1562790854 | ISBN-13: 978-1562790851 | Edition: 1ST

Red Pine's translation of the most revered of Chinese texts corrects errors in previous interpretations, truly breathes new poetic life into the English version, and includes selected commentaries-judged by Chinese scholars to be essential to understanding the wisdom of Taoism. Pine incorporates the commentaries of emperors and prime ministers, Taoist monks and nuns, Buddhist priests, poets, scholars, and the country's most famous philosophers of the past 2,000 years. This marks the first time that non-Chinese speakers have been given access to such a range of wisdom explaining the deeper meaning of China's famous ancient classic. With its clarity and scholarly range, this version of the Taoteching works both as a readable text and a valuable resource of Taoist interpretation.
Lao-tzu, founder of Taoism, is supposed to have written the Taoteching around 600 BC in the Chungnan Mountain region, where Red Pine (Bill Porter) interviewed contemporary hermits as described in his book Road to Heaven: Encounters with Chinese Hermits. Bill Porter is also the translator of The Zen Works of Stonehouse, of Sung Po-jen's Guide to Capturing a Plum Blossom, and of The Collected Songs of Cold Mountain.

Book Description:

Publication Date: April 1, 2009 | Series: Clasicos de la literatura series (Book 19)

Finding inspiration in both the old eastern practices and the simplicity of everyday life, this guide explores accepted philosophical conventions, including projecting the prophet’s vital experiences onto another person, such as Nietzsche did with Zarathustra and Plato with Socrates. The opening metaphor also explores a well-known tale—that of the man who, at the time of his death, decides to return to the place that he saw at birth, passing on he communicates his teachings and instructions before he leaves.

 

Encontrando su inspiración tanto en antiguas fuentes orientales como en la simplicidad de lo cotidiano, esta guía explora reconocidas convenciones filosóficas, incluyendo la proyección de las experiencias vitales del profeta a otra persona, tal como lo han hecho Nietzsche con Zaratustra o Platón con Sócrates. La metáfora principal también explora un cuento familiar—la del hombre que, a la hora de su muerte, decide regresar al sitio que lo vio nacer, comunicando sus enseñanzas y consignas antes de ir.

The Shambhala Anthology of Women's Spiritual Poetry: Aliki Barnstone: 9781570629754: Amazon.com:

Book Description:

Release Date: December 10, 2002

The Shambhala Anthology of Women's Spiritual Poetry celebrates the unique spiritual life of women through a rich selection of poetry written over the past four thousand years, from thirty-six different languages and cultures. It ranges from verse by the first recorded poet, a Sumerian priestess named Enheduanna (circa 2,300 BCE), to Anne Sexton; from early Buddhist nuns to Emily Dickinson; from Hildegard of Bingen to Tess Gallagher. Many of the translations are from distinguished authors and poets, such as Coleman Barks, Samuel Beckett, Stanley Kunitz, W. S. Merwin, Kenneth Rexroth, Arthur Waley, and Richard Wilbur.
In this book (originally published asVoices of Light), the spiritual impulse is expressed broadly as a visionary quest toward self-realization, as well as the desire for union with God, with the source of divine light, with a mystic lover, or with the source of nature. Many of the poets here also remind us that the spiritual is within everyone and unites us through empathy with the suffering and joy of others—a poetry of witness.
Contributors include:Anne Bradstreet, Sappho, Sylvia Plath, Hildegard of Bingen, Yosano Akiko, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Tess Gallagher, Anne Sexton, Beatrice of Nazareth, Carolyn Forché, Mary: Mother of Jesus, Denise Levertov, Emily Dickinson, H.D., Linda Hogan, Charlotte Brontë, Louise Erdrich, Lucille Clifton, Anna Akhmatova, Marianne Moore, Mechthild of Magdeburg, Praxilla, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, and many others.

Book Description:

Publication Date: January 1998 | Series: Self-Help

"A thought-provoking blend of gentle understanding, tender loving care, and very good advice."

"This book doesn’t just tell you that you're on your way to a brighter day; it holds your hand and takes you there."

Books this special don't come along very often. In a voice that is both understanding and inspirational, Pagels helps readers find their way through the hard times that arise -- in the lives of us all -- and that stand in the way of our happiness. They may be due to any number of things: difficulties in dealing with changes, loss, or uncertainty, troubled relationships, financial worries, dependency problems, illness, or emotional setbacks. All can add to our anxieties and diminish the serenity and sunshine in our lives.

CHASING AWAY THE CLOUDS is for anyone who would appreciate a little help and reassurance with their problems. The healing process is very different for various situations and for different people. It's a critical time; a time when good advice is like a loving balm; calming any fears, steadying the course, encouraging day-to-day patience, and providing a much-needed blend of wisdom, care, and optimism.

This book is the perfect traveling companion for anyone who needs a little encouragement to keep their hopes shining through... and their journey going in the right direction.

	The Metaphysics of Dante's Comedy (American Academy of Religion Reflection and Theory in the Study of Religion) Publication Date: October 13, 2008Dante's metaphysics--his understanding of reality--is very different from our own. To present Dante's ideas about the cosmos, or God, or salvation, or history, or poetry within the context of post-Enlightenment presuppositions, as is usually done, is thus to capture only imperfectly the essence of those ideas. The recovery of Dante's metaphysics is essential, argues Christian Moevs, if we are to resolve what has been called "the central problem in the interpretation of the Comedy ." That problem is what to make of the Comedy 's claim to the "status of revela...
