16. Experiencing Buddhism - Ways of Wisdom and Compassion / by Ruben L.
F. Habito / . ISBN.978-93-81218-46-4.Rs. 450
This book engages the reader with its story-telling style as it
illustrates the principles of Buddhism with concrete examples. Paying
special attention to the rise of Buddhist practice in the West, Habito
introduces the novice to Buddhist experience in its historical unity and the
variety of traditions that reflect its essence. Integrated into Habito's
text are five personal accounts by practicing Buddhists: on being a
Therevada Buddhist by the Venerable Dhammananda, Dr. Chatsumarn Kabilsing;
on being a Zen Buddhist by Jan Chozen Bays; on being a Tibetan Buddhist by
Judith Simmer Brown; on being a Pure Land Buddhist by Kenneth Tanaka; and on
living the Lotus by Virginia Straus
17. Nagarjuna & the Philosophy of Openness/ Nancy McCagney/ Rs. 400
Nancy McCagney demonstrates that the concept of space ('akasa') in early
Indian Mahayana Buddhism is the root metaphor for Nagarjuna's understanding
of 'sunyata', or openness. Nagarjuna's use of the term 'sunyata' was new,
and contrasted with the word's use in Pali Buddhist literature. By using the
word to mean 'openness,' Nagarjuna was able to elucidate, through a deeper
analysis of impermanence, a consistent philosophical foundation for the
truth and efficacy of Gautama's Middle Way. McCagney's book will be
important for those studying Indian philosophy, Buddhism, and the philosophy
of religion.
18. Mediating the Power of Buddhas- Ritual in the Manjusrimulakalpa /
Glenn Wallis/ Rs. 600
Analyzes a seventh-century ritual manual that provides both a rich source
of information of medieval Buddhist life and addresses the ongoing concern
of how an adherent can encounter the power of a buddha.
Mediating the Power of Buddhas offers a fascinating analysis of the
seventh-century ritual manual, the Mañjusrimulakalpa. This medieval text is
intended to reveal the path into a ritual universe where the power of a
buddha abides. Author Glenn Wallis traces the strategies of the
Mañjusrimulakalpa to enable its committed reader to perfect the promised
ritual, uncovering what conditions must be met for ritual practice to
succeed and what personal characteristics practitioners must possess in
order to realize the ritual intentions of the Buddhist community. The manual
itself was written at a key point in Buddhist history, one when Hindu forms
of practice were still imitated and on the cusp of the shift from Mahayana
to Vajrayana (or Tantric) Buddhism. In addition, the Mañjusrimulakalpa
presents a rich compendium of Buddhist life in an earlier era, containing
information on a variety of its readers' concerns: astrology, astronomy,
medicine and healing, ritual practice, iconography, devotion, and
meditation.

>
> Thank you for posting the notice about the death of MAR Barker.
>
> As you stated Barker was known as both a linguist and the creator of a
> very
> complex science fantasy world called "Tekumel."
>
> He popularized Tekumel first as a role playing game. This game "Empire of
> the Petal Throne" was the second such game commercially published and it
> came soon after the much better known "Dungeons and Dragons." The creation
> of the world of Tekumel itself was a life long hobby and passion of
> Barker`s and long predated the game itself.
>
> Game companies were a bit at a loss at times as to what to make of this
> creation, and my understanding is he often complained of poor marketing by
> them. When they asked for a supplement to the game, seeking more monsters
> and treasures and such, Barker gave them a dictionary and grammar of
> Tsolyanu, the language he had created for Tsolyanu, the primary nation of
> one continent of this world. Years later, when he and a co-author were
> behind schedule on turning in an intricate guide to the various temples
> and
> faiths of the nation of Tsolyanu, he tried to appease the publisher by
> offering them highly detailed grammar manuals for three spoken and two
> dead
> languages of Tekumel. (All of these products and publications are still
> available for purchase.) Unlike most fantasy worlds, the older I got and
> the higher my level of scholarship in the social sciences became. the more
> I appreciated Tekumel. The details on the human and non-human societies of
> the world fit together and made sense. (Tekumel was basically a lost star
> colony 100,000 years in the future where both magic and science worked,
> but
> most technology had been lost and forgotten.) I recall once explaining
> some
> detailed aspect of one of his imaginary societies to a friend of mine who
> commented, "This is in a fantasy world? You sound like you're discussing
> one of those real historical societies in Asia."
>
> One aspect of all this worth mentioning is that when a game of this detail
> and non-western detail was placed before adolescent young men such as
> myself, it did spark a great deal of interest among many of us in both
> exotic cultures and their languages. Many of us, took this interest to the
> library and explored these things further, now that we had been shown that
> non-Western languages could be both interesting and fun and that history
> included much more than just the peoples of Europe. (The human inhabitants
> of Tekumel were descendants of a mixed society of Javanese, Mayan and Urdu
> speakers, not Europeans, and Barker freely admitted being influenced by
> meso-American and south Asian history and anthropology when he created his
> own world.)
>
> Today, there is still a loyal hardcore following of Tekumel fans who
> network through forums such as a yahoo group. And among these fans, a
> surprising number have a high level of knowledge of Asian studies. This
> yahoo group, for instance, is the only place where I have just "bumped
> into" by accident a Manchu language scholar who I had many interesting
> "off
> list" discussion with and conversely the only place outside of gaming
> circles I have ever just "bumped into" a Tekumel fan was a guest house for
> foreigners in Taiwan. I suspect that although most of us wish to keep our
> love of what are perceived to be adolescent interests secret from our
> professional colleagues, Barker's fantasy gaming interests brought a
> surprising number of people into our field years later.
