Описание: Mandalas are complex arrangements of patterns or pictures used in Hindu and Buddhist Tantrism to represent the cosmos and to give expression to the infinite possibilities of the human subconscious. Believers rely upon this powerful figure as a focus of ritual and a support for meditations, using it to gain possession of the energies signified by its images or symbols. This intriguing, thought-provoking study by one of the world's leading authorities on the subject examines the basic doctrine behind the theory and practice of the mandala in India and Tibet, by both Hindus and Buddhists. Individual chapters consider the doctrinal basis of the mandala, its various parts, liturgy, and relationship to the human body. Of special interest to students of Eastern philosophy and art, this study will also fascinate New Agers and anyone interested in the symbols and psychology of Asian cultures.

Описание: Ten Myths about the Jews analyzes the complex facets of anti-Semitism and anti-Judaism in an accessible and easy-to-read format. Based on wide research, Brazilian historian Maria Luiza Tucci Carneiro examines different manifestations against Jews and their faith through history and political culture along the centuries. Ten omnipresent accusations were configured by anti-Semites in axioms that became myths: Myth 1: The Jews killed Christ. Myth 2: The Jews are a secret entity. Myth 3: The Jews control the world economy. Myth 4: There are no poor Jews. Myth 5: The Jews are greedy. Myth 6: The Jews have no homeland. Myth 7: The Jews are racists. Myth 8: The Jews are parasites. Myth 9: The Jews control the media. Myth 10: The Jews manipulate the United States. Tucci Carneiro unmasks the roots of anti-Semitism and exposes contemporary prejudices. Her book is an invitation to reflect upon current realities marked by racism and shows how the main myths about the Jews have been vested of a verisimilitude that has persisted for the last 2000 years, all over the world, by means of hatred of the other, political/religious opportunism and economic deceit. The myths are kept alive by means of constant repetition and re-elaboration of a particular narrative, invariably seductive. The author proves each of the ten myths in terms of their historical record, their origins and purposes. Even though Jews are fully integrated into western society in multiple ways (entrepreneurship, medicine, literature, philosophy, the arts), racist myths against the community have been particularly resilient; they attempt to override common sense and their continuous circulation and rehashing through scapegoating and caricature has had profound negative repercussions for society as a whole. Ten Myths, now published in five languages, is an essential tool in the struggle against the discourse of racist hatred.

Описание: Le prime 5 Poesie possono essere visionate subito in anteprima. Quest'oggi assistiamo ad un costante allontanamento della gente dalla Poesia e questo a mio modo di vedere dovuto molto spesso alla scrittura incomprensibile che viene utilizzata, composta da espressioni troppo contorte e da astrusi paroloni che non appartengono al linguaggio comune o moderno. Ecco perch nella scrittura di questo libro ho deciso di seguire la strada della semplicit poich non vi dubbio che essa sia l'unico sentiero per arrivare al cospetto di chiunque.Credo di essere riuscito nel mio intento e spero che voi lettori possiate apprezzare quello che per me stato un lungo viaggio verso una nuova consapevolezza della mia esistenza.
