Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Given the challenges of the environmental crisis, Buddhism's teaching of the interrelatedness of all life forms may be critical to the recovery of human reciprocity with nature. In this new work, twenty religionists and environmentalists examine Buddhism's understanding of the intricate web of life. In noting the cultural diversity of Buddhism, they highlight aspects of the tradition which may help formulate an effective environmental ethics, citing examples from both Asia and the United States of socially engaged Buddhist projects to protect the environment. The authors explore theoretical and methodological issues and analyze the prospects and problems of using Buddhism as an environmental resource in both theory and practice. This groundbreaking volume inaugurates a larger series examining the religions of the world and their ecological implications which will shape a new field of study involving religious issues, contemporary environmental ethics, and public policy concerns.…

Hard bound. Zustand: Very Good +. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. First Edition. The Hae-in Sa (Temple) in southern Korea houses some 81,000 xylographic woodblocks of the Buddhist canon in Chinese script, dating to the 13th century. Korea is thus home to one of the earliest complete surviving libraries of the Chinese Buddhist canon, a source that the Chinese themselves drew upon to recover much of the Buddhist literature that they had lost in war and religious purges. The present catalogue provides bibliographic detail of all 1,514 titles, within over 1,300 volumes in the Korean canon. Each entry includes titles in Chinese and Korean script, as well as Romanized Chinese, Korean, Sanskrit and Tibetan, followed by a full bibliographic annotation in English. The catalogue thus contains much material that is found nowhere else in the English language, and is an essential reference tool for any student of the Buddhist canon, regardless of tradition. Includes Sanskrit, Pali, Chinese, Korean and Tibetan indices of titles, Romanized and Chinese indices of authors/translators, 'case character' index indicating the location of a given text within the Hae-in Sa collection, index of correspondences between the present work and Japanese catalogues (Taisho, Nanjio, Tohoku) and bibliography. xxiii, 724 pp. Dust jacket has minor wear and a couple of small tears, now repaired and in mylar.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 135 pp. : chiefly illustrations, some in color ; numerous photographs ; 35 cm. ; OCLC: 11766799 ; LC: ND2073.6.Z8 ; a rare collection of action photographs, ceramics and calligraphic paintings and lithographs executed by Jung Kwang, the Mad Monk ; " The present volume is an attempt to present a partial retrospective of his paintings including the latest work which has expanded into the use of lithographs.In 1980-81, he took an extended trip, his first to the U.S. and Europe, giving demonstrations of his painting style."--preface ; "Jung Kwang, the painter, has his artistic roots firmly placed within a style of art that was nourished by the monastic communities of East Asia. Using only the brush and ink, monks made their art using rapid and yet disciplined brush strokes. The paintings only took seconds to complete; they could not be retouched or corrected; each was finished when the brush left the paper. As might be imagined, this style was particularly favored by the Zen schools. The paintings were used as a test for the state of enlightenment of the painter.Jung Kwang began to separate his art from this traditional school and with that separation came many questions about the value of his work. The controversies of his art continue to the present.Having introduced all sorts of new subjects into his paintings: bulls, guardian figures, roosters, fish, and, more shocking, penises on all the animals and even coming out of the head of Dharma, it is little wonder that the traditionalists were horrified."--Introduction ; Jung Kwang's reputation as "The Mad Monk" is here fully represented by the use of color, non-traditional brushes and pens, even to the shocking photographs of him using his penis as th e brush on a series of paintings! ; he was ordained a monk in the Chongye Buddhist Order at Tong-do Monastery near Pusan in 1962 and practiced meditation under direction of Master Kuha, and was later a member of the Chongye National Council as its art consultant, but was then expelled in 1983, presumably for his movement away from traditional forms ; nonetheless, there are many who would consider the paintings in this book enlightened visual Zen koans of a sublime nature ; SIGNED presentation by Jung Kwang from 1986 on the front ep ; folio, bound in color pictorial stiff paper wrappers ; some wear, but otherwise VG.

Pickard; fewer than ten sets were produced in watercolours, prior to Mr. Lewis retirement from painting. These were offered to colleagues and bibliophiles; the present set is from the collection of Fleming's bibliographer Jon Gilbert. Rare. Signed.…
