Описание: SHORTLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE 2013. From Subhash's earliest memories, at every point, his brother was there. In the suburban streets of Calcutta where they wandered before dusk and in the hyacinth-strewn ponds where they played for hours on end, Udayan was always in his older brother's sight.

So close in age, they were inseparable in childhood and yet, as the years pass - as U.S tanks roll into Vietnam and riots sweep across India - their brotherly bond can do nothing to forestall the tragedy that will upend their lives. Udayan - charismatic and impulsive - finds himself drawn to the Naxalite movement, a rebellion waged to eradicate inequity and poverty. He will give everything, risk all, for what he believes, and in doing so will transform the futures of those dearest to him: his newly married, pregnant wife, his brother and their parents.

For all of them, the repercussions of his actions will reverberate across continents and seep through the generations that follow. Epic in its canvas and intimate in its portrayal of lives undone and forged anew, The Lowland is a deeply felt novel of family ties that entangle and fray in ways unforeseen and unrevealed, of ties that ineluctably define who we are. With all the hallmarks of Jhumpa Lahiri's achingly poignant, exquisitely empathetic story-telling, this is her most devastating work of fiction to date.

Описание: Every immigrant has many interesting stories to tell about coming to America and making it his new home. Bengali-speaking immigrants from the Indian subcontinent are a particularly rich source of fascinating life experiences as they have been coming to the US for over 130 years. While Bengali immigrants, like most other immigrants, had to work hard to succeed in their adopted homeland. some had to struggle to gain a foothold and found success to be elusive. A few had to face discrimination and racism while others found excellent opportunities to flourish as American citizens. This book presents a rich collection of real life stories, told by authors from different walks of life. Some of these life experiences are sweet, some are funny, while others are sad or bittersweet. But each, in its own way, is memorable. And these life experiences are set against the history of Asian immigration in America and the evolving societal attitudes towards non-white immigrants. Readers will find this collection of narratives and essays to be not only fascinating but also revealing of the hopes and aspirations, successes and failures of an important group of immigrants from the Indian subcontinent.

Описание:

Every stupa begins with the vision and inspiration of an authentic spiritual master. In the case of the Amitabha Stupa that vision came from Jetsunma Ahk n Lhamo who was recognized by His Holiness Penor Rinpoche as a reincarnate bodhisattva (tulku) and Palyul lineage holder in the Nyingma tradition of Vajrayana (Tibetan) Buddhism. She saw that the Amitabha Stupa, built in Sedona during these troubled and turbulent times, would ease the suffering of the world and bring tremendous blessing to those who visit and live in the region.

Jetsunma is the founder and spiritual director of Kunzang Palyul Ch ling (KPC), and its worldwide centers for compassionate practice, activity and outreach. Jetsunma has built nearly three dozen stupas, bringing together the talents, resources, generosity and energy of hundreds of volunteers.

To oversee the building of the Amitabha Stupa, Jetsunma invited one of the foremost stupa builders in the world, Tulku Sang-nang Rinpoche. Rinpoche came to Sedona to manage the Stupa's construction and to lead ceremonies that would create the most auspicious conditions for the building and empowerment of the Amitabha Stupa.

It took 18 months to complete the Amitabha Stupa. The construction culminated with a three-day consecration ceremony in July and August of 2004. Since that time, tens of thousands of visitors from around the world have come to the Amitabha Stupa looking for healing for themselves or loved ones, solace from sorrows, good fortune, long life, help for those dying or deceased, and, most especially, for the ultimate goal of spiritual awakening.

Most people have no idea that stupas are filled to the very top with hundreds of sacred objects. The Amitabha Stupa contains these offerings: sacred mandalas for prosperity, well-being and peace which antidote specific causes of suffering, close to a billion mantras for peace, compassion, and the pacification of negativity, precious medicines from around the world, and earth from every continent.

Within the Amitabha Stupa there is also a sacred relic from the Buddha of our time, Shakyamuni (Gautama) Buddha There are numerous other extraordinary relics from past living Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. These relics give the Amitabha Stupa its profound potency to alter the karmic fabric for all who stand in its presence.
