DOWNLOAD EBOOKArntzen's classic study and select translation of the Japanese medieval Zen poetry Crazy Cloud Anthology (Kyōunshū 狂雲集) by the Buddhist monk Ikkyū 一休 (1394-1481) is a carefully revised edition of the 1986 University of Tokyo Press edition which was issued as part of the Japanese series of the UNESCO collection of representative works. This Quirin Press Edition offers the following features: - Fully revised, updated, and expanded by the author. - Contains additional selected poems from Ikkyū's 一休 Kyōunshū 狂雲集 with text in Chinese script, and Japanese kundoku reading in Romanization. - Carefully typeset and proofed for typographical errors and inconsistencies. - Includes a new Preface and Afterword. Keywords: Zen poetry, Japanese -- Translations into English. Ikkyū 一休, 1394-1481. Buddhist monks -- Japan. Ikkyū Sōjun 一休宗純 (1394-1481), Zen monk and poet, is an unconventional figure in Japanese literary history. An eccentric personality, he raged at the corruption and hypocrisy of the wealthy Zen monastic system of his day. Defiantly living outside that institution for much of his life, his community included artists, actors, and women entertainers/ brothel girls. Many of his poems have sexual desire at their core, engaging with it as a kōan. Authentic Zen master as well as sensual lyricist, Ikkyū created some of the most original poetry in the entire Zen tradition. Translations from the Crazy Cloud Anthology, or Kyōunshū 狂雲集, Ikkyū's major collection of poetry in literary Chinese, form the core of this work. Ikkyū's biography and historical context of medieval Japan are outlined in the first part of the introduction. The analysis sections provide a portal for the reader to enter the world of the poems by demonstrating how Ikkyū's poetry produces experiences of Zen most often through the dialectical use of allusion. Ikkyū's non-conformism in response to a troubled, uncertain time will strike a sympathetic chord in the modern reader. Students of Japanese literature and religion, culture and history will find Ikkyū an engaging figure. And lovers of poetry will be inspired by his candour and free spirit. Originally published by University of Tokyo Press in 1986 as part of the Japanese series of the UNESCO collection of representative works, the present Quirin Press edition both augments and revises this seminal exploration of Ikkyū's key poetic output.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"In the thirteenth century Dogen brought Zen to Japan. His tradition flourishes there still today and now has taken root across the world. Abruptly Dogen presents some of his pith writings - startling, shifting, funny, spilling out in every direction. They come from all seventy-five chapters of his masterwork, the Eye of Real Dharma (Shōbōgenzō), and roam through mountains, magic, everyday life, meditation, the nature of mind, and how the Buddha is always speaking from inside our heads"--Page 4 of cover.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA deliciously entertaining new series by the bestselling author of The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency The many fans of Precious Ramotswe will find further cause for celebration in the protagonist of Alexander McCall Smith’s irresistibly funny trilogy, the eminent (if shamefully under-read) philologist Professor Dr. Mortiz-Maria von Igelfeld of the Institute at Regensburg. Unnaturally tall, hypersensitive to slights, and oblivious to his own frequent gaucheries, von Igelfeld is engaged in a never-ending quest to win the respect he knows is due him. Portuguese Irregular Verbs follows the Professor from a busman’s holiday researching old Irish obscenities to a flirtation with a desirable lady dentist. In The Finer Points of Sausage Dogs, von Igelfeld practices veterinary medicine without a license, transports relics for a schismatically challenged Coptic prelate and is mobbed by marriage-minded widows on board a Mediterranean cruise ship. In At the Villa of Reduced Circumstances, the final novel in the trilogy, we find our hero suffering the slings of academic intrigue as a visiting fellow at Cambridge, and the slings of outrageous fortune in an eventful Columbian adventure.
