<p><strong>受拉瑪那祝福的傳記作品<br /> 知名學者大衛・戈徳曼評定為最權威版本</strong></p> <p>【拉瑪那唯一親自校訂的傳記】</p> <p><strong>「來這裡的人不會空手而回。<br /> 不信神者會信神;信神者會成為信徒;<br /> 信徒會變得有見地;有見地者會成為真知者。」</strong></p> <p>人的一生,是宇宙意識導演的一場戲。也就是?,這世間發生的一切,本是一場大夢,唯有臣服,方能解?,因此名為《神的遊戲》。</p> <p>本書作者為拉瑪那親近的門徒。這本傳記是拉瑪那尊者在世時出版的,作者多次祈請尊者修訂?容,也因而被認為是最權威的版本。本書保留了許多尊者不為人知的故事,讀來或許覺得不可思議,卻又感受到字裡行間對上師深深的敬愛。其中尊者與信徒間的互動,相當?發人心;而尊者對於動物同伴的關懷,也讓人為之動容。除了詳述尊者打破長年靜默,對慕尼開示的機?,還有許多珍貴的記?,特別是尊者與其母互動的片段,也讓人了解尊者是如何的身體力行、教人探究真我。</p> <p>自母親搬入道場,尊者便開始一連串的修行訓練,不斷打破傳統習俗加諸於其母的桎梏,也帶領母親突破親情的枷鎖。習俗本身是小事,但若過度重視,便會阻礙修持。為確保母親不再遵循這些習俗,尊者會開?玩笑。例如,正統印度教女子不食洋?。尊者便會指著道場中的洋?,笑稱是辣木。按照習俗,辣木也是阻礙?上天堂的食物。尊者告訴?,這些習俗有其?限,信仰是在這些規範之上。再者為母親對兒子之執著。母親疼愛兒子,也?兒子對?有同等回報。此枷鎖難以??,但卻必須要破除。?當?對尊者有關愛之舉,尊者便會予以斥責,甚至有幾次忍不住為此落?。不過母親也漸漸了解尊者的用心。恰似母親提供了他肉身,他也想給?永恆的生命。最後,母親證得解?。</p> <p>拉瑪那尊者的存在,集印度靈性之大成,尊者日常的行住坐臥,皆是修道者的典範。拉瑪那行不言之教,即便在門徒、信?之前,許多時候都默然以對,宛如靜默的阿魯那佳拉聖山,以肉身示現芸芸?生,在長處三摩地之中,給予參謁者無盡的恩典。</p> <p>知名的門徒?徳威克問尊者,他是否從不以手觸?蒙,也不接受某些人成為其弟子。尊者?:「何必要如此大動作??沒有手觸,?就不覺得被接受了??」事實上,?個人?心皆知其是否有被接受。雖然拉瑪那一生從未收過弟子,也沒有指定的傳人,不過當代許多靈性導師都宣稱師承拉瑪那。</p> <p>誰是拉瑪那尊者?</p> <p>他在印度,是無人不知、無人不曉,相傳是濕婆神、聖山阿魯那佳拉化為肉身的聖人。</p> <p>印度一位十六?的少年,突然?經瀕死後,頓悟生命的真實本質,於是毅然?下一切,只留下一紙字條,離家修行。少年沒有在字條上署名,不再自稱「我」,而以「這個」替代。只因開悟後,那個俗世的名字、我執的身分,已然消失。這個少年,便是當代最著名的印度靈性導師,直探生命真我的大悟者:拉瑪那。</p> <p>此後,拉瑪那渾融在真我的輝耀中,教導世人自問這個「我」是誰,俾找到真實的自己,而拔離無明,破一切苦厄。這個「真我」與「神」無異,人駐止於真我,即是與神同在而合一。</p> <p>拉瑪那與羅摩克里?那、甘地、奧羅賓多並列近世印度四大聖者。拉瑪那聲名遠播,海?外信徒訪客,紛來請益,如英國哲學家保羅.布倫頓、名作家毛姆、法國攝影師布列松等皆不遠千里,前往印度參訪,留下許多寶貴的紀?。</p> <p>而拉瑪那過世之後,名聲不墜,他的智慧透過文字傳播,成為全球當代修行者的明燈。著名的超個人心理學家肯・威爾伯(Ken Wilber)在坐禪二十年後,讀到拉瑪那的一句話,仍舊感受到拉瑪那智慧的震撼,其後更努力繼續修煉,直到自我死亡。那句話是這麼?的:「在熟睡的夢境中,不存在的東西就不是真的。」而當代重要的心靈導師艾克哈特・托勒(Eckhart Tolle)也多次指出,他雖然未曾見過拉瑪那,但與拉瑪那有種特別的連結,對他影響很大,可見拉瑪那的靈性力量所及之宏大深遠。</p> <p><strong>讚美</strong></p> <p>達頼喇嘛:「拉瑪那的靈性成就,為無數人指引了一條明路。」</p> <p>榮格(C. G. Jung)曾?:「拉瑪那的生平與教誨是印度的精華所在,宛如一首千禧讚歌,傳唱世間的救贖,人生的解?!」</p> <p>紐約時報(New York Times) 1950年4月16日專文盛讚拉瑪那:「在印度,有成千所謂的聖人,皆宣稱悟道,對拉瑪那而言,他從未自?,卻成為最受敬愛的人物。」</p> <p>當代印度瑜伽大師斯瓦米韋達.?若堤(Swami Veda Bharati)?:「印度有一位偉大的聖哲拉瑪那,能見到他、讀過他著作的人,都是有福報之人。」</p> <p><strong>作者簡介</strong></p> <p><strong>克里?那・畢克修Krishna Bhikshu (1904-1981)</strong></p> <p>本名為維洛甘地・凡?他・克里?那亞(Voruganti Venkata Krishnayya)。他是拉瑪那尊者親近的信徒,非常虔誠。是律師也是政府官員。自1930年代早期,便經常造訪道場。</p> <p>1936年,以泰盧固文寫就《神的遊戲:印度靈性導師拉瑪那尊者的傳奇故事》(Ramana Leela),以克里?那・畢克修的名字發表出版。這本傳記是在尊者在世時出版的,同樣在尊者生前發表的還有?外兩本:以英文寫成的《了悟真我》、坦米爾文寫成的《拉瑪那傳》。比較特別的是,因為尊者指出了克里?那・畢克修作品的前三版有些事件的敘述不完全正確,因此作者又著手改寫。1949年四月,克里?那・畢克修在尊者座下誦讀改寫後的作品,尊者又修正了幾處。直到1957年,尊者辭世後七年,作者才又推出了修訂第四版。這本書也因為經尊者的?讀與校訂,因此受大衛・戈徳曼評定為權威版本,書中亦記載許多並不廣為流傳的故事,這在其他版本的傳記中是找不到的,更是彌足珍貴。</p> <p><strong>英譯者簡介</strong></p> <p><strong>平加利・蘇利亞・孫徳倫Pingali Surya Sundaram</strong></p> <p>作家、翻譯家,來自印度海徳拉巴。英譯本在2004年問世。</p> <p><strong>中譯者簡介</strong></p> <p><strong>周如怡</strong></p> <p>英國倫敦大學醫療史博士,專長歐洲近現代史,修習教授瑜伽靜坐逾十載。現為中芬英譯者及Baba Unlimited出版社編輯。譯有《科學大演化》、《印度比哈瑜伽學校功法大全》、《殘酷劇場》等科學?史著作十本。</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Empires of Faith in Late Antiquity Histories of Art and Religion from India to Ireland【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This book reveals the rewards of exploring the relationship between art and religion in the first millennium, and the particular problems of comparing the visual cultures of different emergent and established religions of the period in Eurasia - Buddhism, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Islam, Judaism, Christianity and the pagan religions of the Roman world. Most of these became established and remained in play as what are called 'the world religions'. The chapters in this volume show how the long traditions of studying these topics are caught up in complex local, ancestral, colonial and post-colonial discourses and biases, which have made comparison difficult. The study of Late Antiquity turns out also to be an examination of the intellectual histories of modernity.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Freedom's Battle - Hind Swaraj or Indian Home Rule Unveiling the Power of Nonviolent Resistance in India's Freedom Struggle【電子書籍】[ Mohandas K. Gandhi ]

<p>In "Freedom's Battle - Hind Swaraj or Indian Home Rule," Mohandas K. Gandhi articulates a profound manifesto for India's autonomy, encapsulating his philosophical and political ideology. Written in 1909, this seminal work critiques Western civilization and emphasizes the importance of self-rule, self-respect, and non-violent resistance. Gandhi employs a dialogic literary style, engaging with an imagined interlocutor to elucidate his ideas on swaraj (self-rule) and the moral imperatives of civil disobedience. The text serves as a foundational document in the struggle for Indian independence, reflecting the socio-political climate of colonial India and the emerging consciousness of the Indian populace seeking autonomy from British rule. Gandhi, the principal figure of the Indian independence movement, was deeply influenced by his experiences in South Africa and the ideals of various reformers and thinkers. His upbringing, coupled with exposure to diverse philosophical traditions, including Tolstoy's notions of nonviolence, shaped his vision of an independent India rooted in moral integrity and communal harmony. Through personal reflection and engagement with contemporaneous social issues, Gandhi crafted this work to illuminate the ethical rationale for resistance against colonial oppression. "Freedom's Battle" is a crucial read for anyone interested in the philosophy of non-violence, political activism, and the historical context of India'??s struggle for freedom. This book not only conveys Gandhi's vision for India but also offers timeless insights into the quest for justice and dignity, making it essential for scholars, activists, and students alike.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Tea War A History of Capitalism in China and India【電子書籍】[ Andrew B. Liu ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>A history of capitalism in nineteenth†‘ and twentieth†‘century China and India exploring the competition between their tea industries</strong></p> <p>Tea remains the world’s most popular commercial drink today, and at the turn of the twentieth century, it represented the largest export industry of both China and colonial India. In analyzing the global competition between Chinese and Indian tea, Andrew B. Liu challenges past economic histories premised on the technical “divergence” between the West and the Rest, arguing instead that seemingly traditional technologies and practices were central to modern capital accumulation across Asia. He shows how competitive pressures compelled Chinese merchants to adopt abstract, industrial conceptions of time, while colonial planters in India pushed for labor indenture laws to support factory-style tea plantations. Further, characterizations of China and India as premodern backwaters, he explains, were themselves the historical result of new notions of political economy adopted by Chinese and Indian nationalists, who discovered that these abstract ideas corresponded to concrete social changes in their local surroundings. Together, these stories point toward a more flexible and globally oriented conceptualization of the history of capitalism in China and India.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Life in the Shadow: An Examination of the Minor Foreign Relations of the DPRK - North Korea Modern Pariah State, Iran, Cuba, Europe, Syria, Africa, India, Strategic Direction, Allies and Partners【電子書籍】[ Progressive Management ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This excellent report has been professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction. At some point, every child is warned to remain mindful of the company kept. The idea behind this age-old admonishment is that people, in the absence of other information, often judge others by those with whom they are associated. Of course, individuals have a range of company they keep. If this range is viewed in a linear manner, it likely spans from bitter enemy to close friend. Where a given relationship falls on this linear scale may indicate a number of things to outsiders. Contained within this admonishment, like most venerable nuggets of wisdom, some element of truth likely exists. If this old adage is accepted, then perhaps it has utility in providing additional information about a state. This type of inquiry may have particular value and is the type of analysis that must be employed when examining an opaque state like the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK). With a state as closed and as secretive as the DPRK every bit of information that can be gathered is useful to the international community's understanding of this outlier state.<br /> Using this idea as a launching point, this thesis explores the diplomatic relations of the DPRK with an emphasis on the minor diplomatic relations of the state. Minor, for purposes of this thesis, does not speak to durability of the bond between two states. Instead, it simply means those countries with which the DPRK has relations that are not part of what is referred to as the Big Four Plus One (i.e., China, Japan, South Korea, Russia, and the United States). This thesis's core research questions are the following. What common characteristics may be identified in diplomatic relations of the DPRK, with a particular emphasis on its minor relations, and what insights can they offer into the internal and external workings of the state? Based on these insights what can be surmised regarding the strategic direction of the DPRK? Does current DPRK diplomatic outreach predict a more belligerent, defiant North Korea? Or, perhaps, a state becoming a more enmeshed-responsible player in the international system? Are emerging or new allies and partners appearing while other stalwarts of the DPRK state begin to wane?</p> <p>INTRODUCTION * A. MAJOR RESEARCH QUESTION * B. IMPORTANCE * C.

Their background, steeped in both scholarship and spiritual practice, informs the lyrical and introspective nature of this work, allowing readers a glimpse into the philosophical depth and poetic beauty of the original. I wholeheartedly recommend The Song Celestial to anyone seeking a profound understanding of life's fundamental questions.

Atri Maharshis of Ancient India【電子書籍】[ Dr. A.S. Venugopala Rao ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Atri, one among the seven sages, an incarnation of Lord Brahma, was the purest among human beings, the most radiant and an upholder of truth. His very name refers to one who does not have the 3 gunas of satwa, rajas and tamas. It was to Sage Atri and the other members of his gothra that the fifth mandal of the Rigveda was revealed. The thought of Sage Atri brings to one's mind his wife, Anasuya. Representing pure 'purusha' and pure 'prakrithi', they formed an ideal couple who lead an ideal family life and lived to serve humanity. Due to her devotion to God, Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara were born as sons to her, being respectively Chandra, Dattatreya and Durvasa. Anasuya persuaded another ideal wife, Sumathi, to revoke her curse in order to save the world. She used the power of her own tapas to restore Sumathi's husband to her. During Rama's vanavaasa, they were an aged couple; yet, they served Rama, Sita and Lakshmana with full of love and devotion. Sage Atri was a disciplinarian, a person with a high degree of restraint, who engaged himself in people's welfare and was proud of his wife's divine powers.
