1927rif. 000013000Oxford: Oxford University Press 1927. First English language edition. Hardcover. Near Fine. 8vo. 9 x-xliv 1 2-248 pp. Green cloth with a gold design stamped on the front board the Hindu/Buddhist swastika at the center of the design gold lettering and a gold decoration on the spine; top edge gilt. Title page printed in red and black. Illustrated with a double-sided frontispiece and with several plates of black and white photographs. Foreword by Sir John Woodroffe. World History Encyclopedia Joshua J. Mark "Tibetan Book of the Dead". According to the traditional story Lotus Guru Padmasambhava and a female disciple Yeshe Tsogyal wrote the texts that would become the Bardo Thodol the Tibetan Book of the Dead during the eighth century of the Common Era. The texts became lost to time until they were found and disseminated orally by Karma Lingpa in the fourteenth century. Although written as a guide to assist and comfort the dead the work has taken on a new life as a guide for the living on spiritual transformation and self-improvement. The buddhist text is divided into six sections beginning with the moment of death until the moment that the deceased soul is either reborn or breaks the cycle of reincarnation samsara. The book was intended to shepherd the recently deceased through these cycles of the intermediate stages of reality and was read aloud at funeral rites for either days or weeks at a time by a monk. It was not until the twentieth century that the work was published in English. Walter Evans-Wentz was an anthropologist and scholar of Tibet and sought Dawa-Samdup's help in translating the texts from Tibetan into English. Dawa-Samdup died in 1922 after completing the funerary section of the book and Evans-Wentz filled in the rest accourding to his own knowledge. The Tibetan Book of the Dead is an excellent example of the core tenets of Buddhism and of eastern philosophy in general. A contemporary bookplate on the front pastedown very light foxing to the title page. Overall a beautiful copy. Oxford University Press hardcover

Nichiren 12221282 was a Buddhist monk who lived during the Kamakura period 11851333 in Japan. Nichiren taught devotion to the Lotus Sutra entitled Myoho-Renge-Kyo in Japanese which contained Gautama Buddha's teachings towards the end of his life as the exclusive means to attain enlightenment. Nichiren believed that this sutra contained the essence of all of Gautama Buddha's teachings related to the laws of cause and effect karma and leading all people without distinction to enlightenment. This devotion to the sutra entails the chanting of Namu Myoho Renge Kyo referred to as daimoku as the essential practice of the teaching. Nichiren Buddhism includes various schools such as Nichiren Shoshu Nichiren Shu and Soka Gakkai each claiming to be the only true follower of their founder with their own interpretations of Nichiren's teachings. However despite the differences between schools all Nichiren sects share the fundamental practice of chanting daimoku. While all Nichiren Buddhist schools regard him as a reincarnation of the Lotus Sutra's Bodhisattva Superior Practices Jogyo Bosatsu some schools of Nichiren Buddhism's Nikko lineages regard him as the actual Buddha of this age or the Buddha of the Latter day of the Law and for all eternity.

The Marvelous Companion is a translation of a collection of thirty-four stories of the previous lives of the Buddha Jatakas spoken by the Enlightened One himself and assembled and retold by the first-century master Aryashura. Aryasura's The Marvelous Companion is a wonderful antidote for anyone who has grown weary with 'compassion fatigue'. Based on thirty-four beautifully written tales of the Buddha's former lives said to have been related by the Buddha himself this book seeks to convince us that love and compassion are appropriate in even the most extreme circumstances. Whether threatened by man-eating ogres blood-sucking demons robbers or just monkeys determined to irritate him the Buddha-to-be always responds with restraint and kindness. Truly magical is the response of his mischievous assailants in the face of this kindness. To a man and a monster! their hearts are converted their wicked natures vanish and they are awakened to the awesome possibility of love.What is so valuable about this book is that it deliberately focuses on our most entrenched and cynical ideas about compassion being 'impractical' and 'sentimental' and suggests that it is really our 'hard-headed' ideas that are naive: only unconditional love and compassion have the power to bring us happiness and to solve the problems of the world. What a world it would be if everyone read this book! It is perhaps the most inspiring book I have ever read. Dharma Publishing, hardcover
