Book Description
THE TRUE STORY OF UNIVERSAL SALVATION-ENLIGHTENMENT FOR EVERY SOUL Universal Gateway of Enlightenment: The 2nd coming of Jesus as Lord of the World in c.78AD is not an academic wander in the wilderness. It is a very readable book. Rather than an academic work, it is presented to readers as a palatable, historical novel. It has deliciously endearing characters, such as Mari Magadhalene, Apollonius and St. Thomas, with all their quirks, as well as their graces. The book is about the purpose of life, the purpose of Iesous' incarnation as Avatar; about his travels and work among cultures, East and West. It is about the people who made the ministry possible, who funded it and opened doors for him-the "Three Wise Men from the East". And, of course, it is also about the people and his work in the West, who crucified him. Ultimately, this is the story of universal salvation, from the one named in late 1st century Sanskrit-language Scriptures, "the World Savior", the "son of our Father in Heaven" who teaches about helping any and every soul to graduate from Earth School, to stop reincarnating over and over again; to gain spiritual rebirth, enlightenment, and then to ascend to heaven. The Author I take umbrage with the assertion Christians make about Jesus being a liar. Jesus did not lie, as they say, about coming back "within this generation" (40 years), shortly after the fall of Jerusalem. These promises that Jesus made are recorded in Christian Scripture. Shortly after Paul, Peter and James had died, Jerusalem was destroyed, in 70CE. Some reports say more than a million people were slaughtered during that catastrophic time. The Temple burned down; shortly after that, Masada in 73AD; and finally, Jews were despised all over the world and banned from entering Judea for two-hundred years, and were levied a special Judaic-tax to compensate for their errors. These things were, as Iesous had said, 'the end of the world of the Jews', at the time. The Lord came back, just as he had promised: "For just as lightning comes from the East and is seen even to the West, so will be the coming of the Son of Man." Mt 24:27 Buddhists and Hindus embraced the Lord's second coming in c. 75AD. Not just casually, but formally, at the 2nd 4th World Council of Buddhism. New Scriptures released at the time, speak of the Lord's teachings: of our Father in Heaven, of the son, the Holy Spirit, of being reborn a spiritual being, and of universal salvation for all sentient beings. Today, the name of Avalokitesvara, as he is known by His Sanskrit title, is honored by almost two billion easterners as the World Savior. The Lord and a host of spiritual beings working alongside, are here to help every soul-being on Earth, to accomplish spiritual rebirth: enlightenment, to break the cycle of samsara (perpetual reincarnation), and ascend to heaven, or Sukhavati, as it is described in Sanskrit. Jesus' teaching, is that of Avalokitesvara. It sits at the root of Zen, is ingrained in the fiber of Mahayana, and indispensable for unfolding the leaves Hinduism. Jesus worked in the East for most of his life. He spent less than 3 of his last years in the West, where they crucified him. This USA EDITION is produced for the reading pleasure of those who find American English, and standards of style most pleasing.

Book Description
In Embodied Enlightenment, contemporary spiritual teacher Amoda Maa Jeevan dispels the outdated view of a transcendent enlightenment and instead presents a new, feminine expression of awakened consciousness for all—one that is felt and known through what our everyday lives are made of: our emotions, bodies, intimate relationships, work, and life’s purpose. This book is a direct invitation to awaken in a profound, embodied way, and to participate in a collective evolution that can create a new world. When many of us think of enlightenment, we may envision a life of seclusion and contemplation, transcending the body and worldly attachments, or the achievement of karmic perfection. But what if, rather than something reserved for the mountaintop meditator or sage, the call to awaken is meant for us all? And how can we consciously live that awakening in the midst of our complex, messy, modern lives? Speaking from her own awakened experience, Amoda Maa Jeevan offers a timeless wisdom, busting some of the common myths about enlightenment and addressing topics often excluded from more traditional spiritual conversations—from the connection between consciousness and the body to relationships to planetary health. In addition, she covers the unfamiliar territory of what happens after enlightenment, delving into awakened action, creative expression, and more. There’s an urgency today to evolve beyond humanity’s current ego-based paradigm, and along with it, a unique expression of enlightenment is emerging. With clarity, passion, and grace, Embodied Enlightenment invites you on an exploration of consciousness that embraces both the messiness of your earthly experience and the non-duality of pure awareness, offering guidance on how your daily life can bring you into alignment with a divine destiny of individual and collective awakening.

Book Description
"...there is nothing elementary about O'Grady's primer. She pulls off the feat of writing a reliable and accessible introduction to modern philosophy that is also a meaningful contribution to the subject." - London Times Literary Supplement From Descartes' famous line 'I think therefore I am' to Kant's fascinating discussions of morality, the thinkers of the Enlightenment have helped to shape the modern world. Addressing such important subjects as the foundations of knowledge and the role of ethics, the theories of these philosophers continue to have great relevance to our lives. Ranging across Enlightenment thinking from Berkeley to Rousseau, Enlightenment Philosophy in a Nutshell explains important ideas such as Locke's ideas of primary and secondary qualities, Kant's moral rationalism, and Hume's inductive reasoning. Filled with helpful diagrams and simple summaries of complex theories, this essential introduction brings the great ideas of the past to everyone.
Author: Tsong-kha-pa Publisher: Shambhala Publications ISBN: 1559398698 Category : Religion Languages : en Pages : 432
Book Description
The first volume of the 15th-century spiritual classic that condenses Buddhist teachings into one easy-to-follow meditation manual The Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment (Tib. Lam rim chen mo) is one of the brightest jewels in the world’s treasury of sacred literature. The author, Tsong-kha-pa, completed it in 1402, and it soon became one of the most renowned works of spiritual practice and philosophy in the world of Tibetan Buddhism. Because it condenses all the exoteric sūtra scriptures into a meditation manual that is easy to understand, scholars and practitioners rely on its authoritative presentation as a gateway that leads to a full understanding of the Buddha’s teachings. Tsong-kha-pa took great pains to base his insights on classical Indian Buddhist literature, illustrating his points with classical citations as well as with sayings of the masters of the earlier Kadampa tradition. In this way the text demonstrates clearly how Tibetan Buddhism carefully preserved and developed the Indian Buddhist traditions. This first of three volumes covers all the practices that are prerequisite for developing the spirit of enlightenment (bodhicitta).

Book Description
The idea of eliminating undesirable traits from human temperament to create a "new man" has been part of moral and political thinking worldwide for millennia. During the Enlightenment, European philosophers sought to construct an ideological framework for reshaping human nature. But it was only among the communist regimes of the twentieth century that such ideas were actually put into practice on a nationwide scale. In this book Yinghong Cheng examines three culturally diverse sociopolitical experiments—the Soviet Union under Lenin and Stalin, China under Mao, and Cuba under Castro—in an attempt to better understand the origins and development of the "new man." The book’s fundamental concerns are how these communist revolutions strove to create a new, morally and psychologically superior, human being and how this task paralleled efforts to create a superior society. To these ends, it addresses a number of questions: What are the intellectual roots of the new man concept? How was this idealistic and utopian goal linked to specific political and economic programs? How do the policies of these particular regimes, based as they are on universal communist ideology, reflect national and cultural traditions? Cheng begins by exploring the origins of the idea of human perfectibility during the Enlightenment. His discussion moves to other European intellectual movements, and then to the creation of the Soviet Man, the first communist new man in world history. Subsequent chapters examine China’s experiment with human nature, starting with the nationalistic debate about a new national character at the turn of the twentieth century; and Cuban perceptions of the new man and his role in propelling the revolution from a nationalist, to a socialist, and finally a communist movement. The last chapter considers the global influence of the Soviet, Chinese, and Cuban experiments. Creating the "New Man" contributes greatly to our understanding of how three very different countries and their leaders carried out problematic and controversial visions and programs. It will be of special interest to students and scholars of world history and intellectual, social, and revolutionary history, and also development studies and philosophy.

Author: Scott Carney Publisher: Penguin ISBN: 069818629X Category : Religion Languages : en Pages : 307
Book Description
An investigative reporter explores an infamous case where an obsessive and unorthodox search for enlightenment went terribly wrong. When thirty-eight-year-old Ian Thorson died from dehydration and dysentery on a remote Arizona mountaintop in 2012, The New York Times reported the story under the headline: "Mysterious Buddhist Retreat in the Desert Ends in a Grisly Death." Scott Carney, a journalist and anthropologist who lived in India for six years, was struck by how Thorson’s death echoed other incidents that reflected the little-talked-about connection between intensive meditation and mental instability. Using these tragedies as a springboard, Carney explores how those who go to extremes to achieve divine revelations—and undertake it in illusory ways—can tangle with madness. He also delves into the unorthodox interpretation of Tibetan Buddhism that attracted Thorson and the bizarre teachings of its chief evangelists: Thorson’s wife, Lama Christie McNally, and her previous husband, Geshe Michael Roach, the supreme spiritual leader of Diamond Mountain University, where Thorson died. Carney unravels how the cultlike practices of McNally and Roach and the questionable circumstances surrounding Thorson’s death illuminate a uniquely American tendency to mix and match eastern religious traditions like LEGO pieces in a quest to reach an enlightened, perfected state, no matter the cost. Aided by Thorson’s private papers, along with cutting-edge neurological research that reveals the profound impact of intensive meditation on the brain and stories of miracles and black magic, sexualized rituals, and tantric rites from former Diamond Mountain acolytes, A Death on Diamond Mountain is a gripping work of investigative journalism that reveals how the path to enlightenment can be riddled with danger.
Author: Lorraine Daston Publisher: MIT Press ISBN: 0262353814 Category : Philosophy Languages : en Pages : 88
Book Description
A pithy work of philosophical anthropology that explores why humans find moral orders in natural orders. Why have human beings, in many different cultures and epochs, looked to nature as a source of norms for human behavior? From ancient India and ancient Greece, medieval France and Enlightenment America, up to the latest controversies over gay marriage and cloning, natural orders have been enlisted to illustrate and buttress moral orders. Revolutionaries and reactionaries alike have appealed to nature to shore up their causes. No amount of philosophical argument or political critique deters the persistent and pervasive temptation to conflate the “is” of natural orders with the “ought” of moral orders. In this short, pithy work of philosophical anthropology, Lorraine Daston asks why we continually seek moral orders in natural orders, despite so much good counsel to the contrary. She outlines three specific forms of natural order in the Western philosophical tradition—specific natures, local natures, and universal natural laws—and describes how each of these three natural orders has been used to define and oppose a distinctive form of the unnatural. She argues that each of these forms of the unnatural triggers equally distinctive emotions: horror, terror, and wonder. Daston proposes that human reason practiced in human bodies should command the attention of philosophers, who have traditionally yearned for a transcendent reason, valid for all species, all epochs, even all planets.
