DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book argues that the most profound and far-reaching effects of Buddhism on Chinese culture occurred at the level of practice, specifically in religious rituals designed to cure people of disease, demonic possession, and bad luck. This practice would leave its most lasting imprint on the liturgical tradition of Taoism. In focusing on religious practice, the book provides a corrective to traditional studies of Chinese religion, which overemphasize metaphysics and spirituality.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKClassical Chinese poetry reached its pinnacle during the T'ang Dynasty (618-907 A.D.), and the poets of the late T'ang-a period of growing political turmoil and violence-are especially notable for combining strking formal inovation with raw emotional intensity. A. C. Graham’s slim but indispensable anthology of late T’ang poetry begins with Tu Fu, commonly recognized as the greatest Chinese poet of all, whose final poems and sequences lament the pains of exile in images of crystalline strangeness. It continues with the work of six other masters, including the “cold poet” Meng Chiao, who wrote of retreat from civilization to the remoteness of the high mountains; the troubled and haunting Li Ho, who, as Graham writes, cultivated a “wholly personal imagery of ghosts, blood, dying animals, weeping statues, whirlwinds, the will-o'-the-wisp”; and the shimmeringly strange poems of illicit love and Taoist initiation of the enigmatic Li Shang-yin. Offering the largest selection of these poets’ work available in English in a translation that is a classic in its own right, Poems of the Late T’ang also includes Graham’s searching essay “The Translation of Chinese Poetry” as well as helpful notes on each of the poets and on many of the individual poems.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThese are the lecture notes for addresses I proposed to deliver to the Sikh youth of thePunjab. But as I am placed in the desert away from the towns where they gather, I let these goundelivered. And also because the Sikh youth are running in haste after shadows, turning theirbacks on the Sun of Suns, the Guru. This world of the Guru, the Beautiful, is different and theirworld how different; so to them the values of fiction and fact have been hopelessly interchanged.Still, I hope these addresses will reach them by and by.And the Sikh youth is everywhere, the youth that has the disciple-consciousness, aspiringto love, the Beautiful, which alone is truly good, truly noble, and truly divine. The formBeautiful appearing once rarely in ages, and fascinating the disciple-consciousness and vanishingin the eternal background of the spiritual inner Infinite, is the Guru Beautiful, the Bridegroom;the disciple-consciousness thenceforward restless without that presence or the sense of thatpresence is The Spirit Born People,-or The Brides.
