Book Description
'No, but we are different. Tonpa Sherab treated men and women in the same way, he passed on his teachings to both men and women and that is why we nuns are on equal footing with the monks, quite unlike the Buddhists.' The Bön religion is often seen as a part of the Tibetan Buddhism but its bond is actually far more complex and has its own origin in the history of Tibet. The role of women worshipping in Bön and Tibetan Buddhism, is quite different. And although there are studies on Buddhist nuns, there is hardly any research available on nuns in the Bön tradition. This pioneering study vividly portrays the nuns of the Redna Menling monastery in Dolanji (India), the headquarters of the Bön religion, in exile. It focuses on the developments of the Bön in exile, the specific context in which Bön nuns live and how the monastic tradition takes shape. It provides interesting insights into the monastic community in exile, the historic context of the Bön religion as well as the personal motives to become a nun.

Book Description
Legendary Hunters features twenty-eight accounts of traditional hunting life among the Nuu-chah-nulth (Nootka) peoples of Canada’s West Coast. Drawn from a collection of oral history gathered between 1910 and 1923, these narratives present a vivid portrait of whaling from a First Nations perspective. These accounts outline methods of hunting Humpback and Gray Whales, while also detailing the long preparatory rituals that helped guarantee success.

Book Description
„Când, odată sorbiţi de fluxul demenţial al oraşului, vă veţi ciocni de mersul enervant de încet al unui zdrahon cu părul alb, păşind agale, boiereşte pe lângă pereţi, să ştiţi că-i foarte posibil ca eu să fiu acela. Ca să fiţi siguri de asta, plasaţi fulgerător îndemnul Hai, tataie, hai mai repede. Dacă veţi auzi răspunsul mulcom Poftiţi, luaţi-o dumneavoastră înainte, că eu nu mai am unde să mă grăbesc, atunci nu mai e loc de îndoială: eu sunt ăla.“ (Dan C. MIHĂILESCU) „Nerăbdători, sărim peste etape, le ardem, neglijăm esenţele, facem afirmaţii categorice şi încercăm să realizăm lucruri fără a le cunoaşte natura intimă. Cam aici suntem, într-o grabă păguboasă, mereu îmbătaţi de virtuţi mai mult afirmate decât dovedite, superficiali şi, în acelaşi timp, mereu nemulţumiţi de condiţia noastră. Zidim în pereţii ce se tot dărâmă o parte a sufletului nostru. Ne aruncăm cu capul înainte, gata să cucerim ceea ce alţii au cucerit după sute de ani de statornicie.“ (Ciprian MĂCEŞARU) ,,Cu cât creşte viteza, cu atât creşte vidul lăuntric. Din cât eşti mai la zi şi mai departe de tradiţie, dintr-atât se amplifică dezrădăcinarea, dezorientarea, deznădejdea. Din cât te vrei mai socializat şi te consideri incapabil (sau oripilat) de singurătate, dintr-atât eşti mai pustiit, mai singur, copleşit de senzaţia de inutilitate: a ta, a celorlalţi, a lumii. Pe măsură ce te îngreunezi cu tot mai multe accesorii, fleacuri şi capricii, te îndepărtezi de simplitate, autenticitate şi puritate. Devii tot mai artificial, mai înstrăinat de sine, mai dezarticulat. Şi eşti tot mai departe de bucuriile fireşti, de naturaleţe, de împăcarea interioară.“ (Dan C. MIHĂILESCU) „Mă întreb dacă s-ar putea scrie o istorie culturală a răbdării. S-au publicat cărţi cu teme dintre cele mai bizare, aşa că nu văd de ce nu s-ar putea scrie şi despre un lucru atât de important cum e răbdarea, una dintre marile virtuţi, importantă atât în rândul religiilor, cât şi în filozofia generală de viaţă.“ (Ciprian MĂCEŞARU)
