Download and read online ebook Protecting Wisdom write by Kathryn Selig Brown. This book was released on 2012. Protecting Wisdom available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This elegant volume is the first published study of the finely carved wooden covers designed to protect fragile Tibetan Buddhist texts. From the 11th through 14th centuries, Tibetan monks worked tirelessly to transcribe the life and teachings of the Buddha onto paper. Highly skilled craftsmen then covered these pages with wooden boards that had been elaborately and painstakingly carved, gilded, and painted. The MacLean Collection, based in Chicago, has significant holdings of these extremely rare and ornately decorated objects. The first and most comprehensive study of its kind in English, this lavishly produced, oversize volume features numerous illustrations of magnificent book covers from Tibet as well as several examples from other cultures. The volume tells the fascinating history of these objects, examines the materials from which they were carved, and traces stylistic influences from Kashmir, India, Nepal, and China. AUTHOR: Kathryn H. Selig Brown is a former curator at the Rubin Museum of Art, New York. She is the author of Eternal Presence: Handprints and Footprints in Buddhist Art and a former Luce Fellow at the Asia Society. 195 colour illustrations

Download and read online ebook Sacred Instructions write by Sherri Mitchell. This book was released on 2018-02-13. Sacred Instructions available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. A “profound and inspiring” collection of ancient indigenous wisdom for “anyone wanting the healing of self, society, and of our shared planet” (Peter Levine, author of Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma). A Penobscot Indian draws on the experiences and wisdom of the First Nations to address environmental justice, water protection, generational trauma, and more. Drawing from ancestral knowledge, as well as her experience as an attorney and activist, Sherri Mitchell addresses some of the most crucial issues of our day—including indigenous land rights, environmental justice, and our collective human survival. Sharing the gifts she has received from the elders of her tribe, the Penobscot Nation, she asks us to look deeply into the illusions we have labeled as truth and which separate us from our higher mind and from one another. Sacred Instructions explains how our traditional stories set the framework for our belief systems and urges us to decolonize our language and our stories. It reveals how the removal of women from our stories has impacted our thinking and disrupted the natural balance within our communities. For all those who seek to create change, this book lays out an ancient world view and set of cultural values that provide a way of life that is balanced and humane, that can heal Mother Earth, and that will preserve our communities for future generations.
Wisdom Is a Woman

Download and read online ebook Wisdom Is a Woman write by Lance Rundus. This book was released on 2019-12-05. Wisdom Is a Woman available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. In Proverbs 1-9, we are introduced to stunning, scandalous, and mysterious Lady Wisdom. For millennia interpreters have endeavored to explain, simplify, or domesticate the vaunted and varied personification of this woman. In Wisdom Is a Woman, Lance Rundus illustrates that our difficulties with Lady Wisdom run much deeper than uncertainty about her origins and depiction, but are rooted in inherited assumptions about and definitions of metaphor, as well as a distorted disposition toward right hemisphere modes of knowledge that undercut the very attempt at discovering Wisdom at all. Wisdom Is a Woman invites the reader into the mode of aesthetic perception that opens the way to the beautiful, transcendent intimacy of relational knowledge born from constellations of canonical metaphor in Proverbs 1-9. In "obtaining scale" with Wisdom we discover that this paradoxical wonder is but a faint echo of the wonder and beauty of the Triune God in the person, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.

I WILL DESTROY the WISDOM of the WISE available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. For many years I have stated and written at my web sites and stated on many radio shows, that your basic Satanic liberal will use any and all means to change meanings of words because their usual and meaningless selves fail all the time. I do personally believe that Satan and its demons either possess many liberals or they have run amok of their own feelings and have become seriously satanically oppressed of Satan and its demon thugs. They rewrite anything to suit their own Satanic influenced selves into meaning what they think "it" means. And that brings us to this...the rewriting of the Holy Scriptures. And, these pathetic liberals that know not much of anything, will always accuse others of what they themselves have done in a vain attempt of making themselves look better at whatever it is that they do. As you read this book always have the Scriptures open before you and pray before you read one jot and one tittle.
