The Tibetan Art Of Parenting

Hubbell Maiden Anne ; Farwell Edie

Publié en 1997

Livre
Documentaire

Social psychologist Anne Hubbell and anthropologist Edie Farwell draw upon Tibetan texts and interviews with women, midwives, traditional doctors, and Buddhist scholars to cover all stages of the parenting process, from before conception to early childhood. Tibetans hold a viewpoint that can help parents and others integrate the sacred with the profane to release anxiety, reduce stress, and nurture more joyous, creative, resilient children. A lovely aid in welcoming a child to the world, this is an inspiring and practical introduction for parents, health workers, policy makers, educators, spiritual students, and others to an integrated system of health care which includes body, emotions, mind, spirit, relationships, and environment. Invaluable for anyone interested in anything from holistic healthcare to the myths, legends, and child-rearing practices of the Tibetan people.

Swoyambu Historical Pictorial + Swoyambu

Josephson Richard

Publié en 1985

Livre
Documentaire

Swayambhunath (sometimes romanized Swoyambhunath) is an ancient religious complex atop a hill in the Kathmandu Valley, west of Kathmandu city. It is also known as the Monkey Temple as there are holy monkeys living in parts of the temple in the north-west. The Tibetan name for the site means 'Sublime Trees' (Wylie:Phags.pa Shing.kun), for the many varieties of trees found on the hill. However, Shing.kun may be a corruption of the local Newari name for the complex, Singgu, meaning 'self-sprung'.[1] For the Buddhist Newars in whose mythological history and origin myth as well as day-to-day religious practice, Swayambhunath occupies a central position, it is probably the most sacred among Buddhist pilgrimage sites. For Tibetans and followers of Tibetan Buddhism, it second only to Boudhanath.

Lopez, Jr. brings together works from a broad historical and geographical range, and from such languages as Pali, Sanskrit, Tibetan, Chinese, and Japanese. There are tales of the Buddha's past lives, a discussion of qualities and qualifications for a monk, and an exploration of the many meanings of enlightenment.

The Buddha Came To Our World To Teach All People To Eliminate Suffering And Attain Happiness

Shi Chin Kung

Publié en 2006

Livre
Documentaire

There are numerous paintings and sculptures that depict the life of Buddha Sakyamuni. All the photographs shown were shot in Yuanheng Temple, Kaoshiong. Yuanheng Temple was built in the reign of Emperor Qianglong of the Qing dynasty. It is one of the few remaining historical temples in Taiwan. Its original name Yuanxing Temple has since been changed to Yuanheng Temple. The style of the architectural design was delicately simple and subtly elegant. In 1973, Venerable Pumiao led followers to finish the building of the main cultivation hall where the main statue of Buddha Shakyamuni is respectfully placed. On the inside and outside of the main hall, there are sculptures of the life of the Buddha. There are thirty-two sculptures in total. All the sculptures were created in style that portray solemn magnificance. Of the thirty-two sculptures, the 24th and 27th are partly hidden from the camera due to their location. Hence the sculptures can only be presented partially here. All captions for the sculptures are the original explanations. Minor footnotes were added for clarification purpose. The Editors.

Art Of Tibet

Fisher E. Robert

Publié en 1997

Livre
Documentaire

Tibet has produced some of the most distinctive and creative art in the world, with many striking qualities which set it apart from other Buddhist and Asian art. From a bleak and often inaccessible landscape arose an artistic world so vibrant and sophisticated that it drew commissions even from the emperors of China. With the spread of Buddhism in the West, inspired by the leadership of the exiled Dalai Lama, and the controversy over Tibet's status, interest in this mysterious land has never been greater. In this book, Robert Fisher focuses on the inextricably intertwined relationship between the art and the spiritual life of the region, which is reflected by a dazzling pantheon unexcelled in its variety and complexity. From the Potala in Lhasa -- one of the world's greatest religious complexes -- to painting, sculpture, manuscripts, silk embroidery and its highly developed tradition of portraiture and ritual objects, Tibet's unique artistic culture is vividly presented in this compelling study.
