Perceptions of Self, Power, & Gender Among Muslim Women: Narratives from a Rural Community in Bangladesh
by Sarwar AlamThis book analyzes perceptions of self, power, agency, and gender of Muslim women in a rural community of Bangladesh. Rural women’s limited power and agency has been subsumed within the male dominated Islamic discourses on gender. However, many Muslim women have their own alternative discourses surrounding power and agency. Sarwar Alam intertwines an exploration of these power dynamics with reading of the Qur’an and Hadith, and analyzes how Muslim women’s perception of power and gender are linked to their relationship with religion.
Perceptions of the Holocaust in Europe and Muslim Communities
by Günther Jikeli Joëlle Allouche-BenayounThe way people think about the Holocaust is changing. The particular nature of the transformation depends on people's historical perspectives and how they position themselves and their nation or community vis-à-vis the tragedy. Understandably, European Muslims perceive the Holocaust as less central to their history than do other Europeans. Yet while the acknowledgement and commemoration of the horrors of the Holocaust are increasingly important in Europe, Holocaust denial and biased views on the Holocaust are widespread in European Muslims' countries of origin. In this book, a number of distinguished scholars and educators of various backgrounds discuss views of the Holocaust. Problematic views are often influenced by a persistent attitude of Holocaust denial which is derived, in part, from discourses in the Muslim communities in their countries of origin. The essays collected here explore the backgrounds of these perceptions and highlight positive approaches and developments. Many of the contributions were written by people working in the field and reflecting on their experiences. This collection also reveals that problematic views of the Holocaust are not limited to Muslim communities.
Perché ho lasciato la religione ebraica per seguire Gesù
by Simona Trapani Bernard LevineSono certo che sarete molto sorpresi dall’apprendere che nella maggior parte delle case ebraiche non troverete una Bibbia. Potreste dire: “ma non è molto strano che, in una nazione nota come ‘il Popolo del Libro’, le persone non abbiano una Bibbia in casa? Tuttavia, ciò che è ancora più sorprendente è che pensiate che gli ebrei seguano le conoscano bene le Scritture; la scioccante verità è che la maggior parte dei libri dell’Antico Testamento sono un mistero per gli ebrei, in quanto non conoscono e non hanno mai visto le profezie su Gesù in libri come quelli di Ezechiele, Isaia, Daniele e Malachia. E sapevate che gli ebrei non sanno cosa dicono quando pregano, in quanto la maggior parte di essi non comprende l’ebraico? Ora, suppongo che vi chiediate come facciano gli ebrei a liberarsi da tutti i loro peccati se non credono in Gesù Cristo... Quale credono che sia la strada per il paradiso? Sarete scioccati di capire cosa sta avvenendo nel mondo ebraico.

Perdido en el Señor
by Richard G ChaberCaminas sin rumbo y perdido en un bosque interminable lleno de belleza, oscuridad y desesperación, y encuentras un bote de pesca averiado. Estás extremadamente cansado de intentar conseguir el camino que te conduzca a la salida, así que te refugias en el bote averiado y a medida que observas el sutil empuje del rio corriente abajo, reflexionas sobre si realmente existe una salida y si algún día la encontrarás. Has escuchado que si en realidad encuentras la salida, algo muy especial y esclarecedor sucederá. Una especie de tesoro que te intriga y despierta tu interés, pero el bosque te proporciona algo que puedes ver y sentir, pues no estás seguro si la salida “rendirá sus frutos” como te han prometido. El camino hacia el tesoro luce desalentador, pero tú tienes el mapa y la llave. Billones de personas han oído hablar de Él pero muchos no buscan conocerle. Pronuncian su nombre a diario pero muchos no han hablado con Él, otros hablan con Él con bastante frecuencia. Él produce confusión y a la vez es muy brillante, incluso cuando es odiado, Él ama aún más. Él conoce tus momentos más íntimos y comprende tus dificultades, y espera pacientemente a que le digas “hola”. La ciencia nunca ha podido refutar la existencia de Dios, así que si uno no cree, debe estar abierto a la posibilidad porque Él nos da pruebas de Su existencia todos los días, sin embargo, no las vemos. Los cristianos se han convertido en nuestros peores enemigos y ha llegado el momento de restructurar la palabra de Dios y de hacer que Jesús sea “buena onda” otra vez. Realmente existe un Cielo y contrario a la creencia popular, no hace falta un esfuerzo complicado y agotador para poder entrar. Todos somos seres humanos de carne y hueso y no podemos aspirar a ser como Jesús, tal y como Él claramente lo ha dicho, pues sus formas son más elevadas. No podemos estar a la altura de sus estándares y no se espera que lo estemos. Hay una razón por la que podemos discernir en

Perdu dans le Seigneur
by Richard G ChaberVous errez, perdu dans une forêt sans fin, pleine de beauté, d'obscurité et de désespoir, et vous tombez sur un bateau de pêche en panne. Vous êtes extrêmement épuisé à force d'essayer de trouver le chemin qui vous permettra de sortir, alors vous vous réfugiez sur le bateau en panne et, tout en regardant la subtile rivière pousser en aval, vous vous demandez s'il existe vraiment une issue et si vous la trouverez un jour. Vous avez entendu dire que si vous trouvez la sortie, quelque chose de très spécial et d'éclairant vous attend. Une sorte de trésor qui vous intrigue et éveille votre intérêt, mais la forêt vous fournit quelque chose que vous pouvez voir et ressentir, car vous n'êtes pas sûr que la sortie sera vraiment "payante" comme promis. Le chemin vers le trésor semble intimidant, mais c'est vous qui détenez la carte et la clé. Des milliards de personnes ont entendu parler de lui, mais beaucoup ne cherchent pas à le connaître. Vous dites son nom tous les jours mais beaucoup ne lui ont jamais parlé, d'autres lui parlent très souvent. Il est déroutant et pourtant si brillant, et même lorsqu'il est détesté, il aime encore plus. Il connaît vos moments les plus intimes et comprend vos luttes, et attend patiemment que vous lui disiez bonjour. La science n'a jamais réfuté l'existence de Dieu, alors même si l'on ne croit pas, il faut être ouvert à cette possibilité car Il nous montre son existence tous les jours, mais nous ne la voyons pas. Les chrétiens sont devenus nos propres pires ennemis et il est temps pour nous de restructurer la parole de Dieu et de rendre Jésus à nouveau cool. Il y a vraiment un paradis et, contrairement à la croyance populaire, il ne faut pas un effort élaboré et épuisant pour y entrer. Nous sommes tous des humains de chair et les voies de Jésus ne sont pas nos voies, comme il le dit clairement, car ses voies sont plus élevées. Nous ne pouvons pas nous conformer à ces normes et nous ne sommes
Perdurabo, Revised and Expanded Edition
by Richard KaczynskiThe name "Aleister Crowley" instantly conjures visions of diabolic ceremonies and orgiastic indulgences--and while the sardonic Crowley would perhaps be the last to challenge such a view, he was also much more than "the Beast," as this authoritative biography shows. Perdurabo (the magical name Crowley chose when inducted into the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn) traces Crowley's remarkable journey from his birth as the only son of a wealthy lay preacher to his death in a boarding house as the world's foremost authority on magick. Along the way, he rebels against his conservative religious upbringing; befriends famous artists, writers, and philosophers (and becomes a poet himself ); is attacked for his practice of "the black arts"; and teaches that science and magick can work together. While seeking to spread his infamous philosophy of "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law," Crowley becomes one of the most notorious figures of his day. Based on Richard Kaczynski's twenty years of research, and including previously unpublished biographical details, Perdurabo paints a memorable portrait of the man who inspired the counterculture and influenced generations of artists, punks, wiccans, and other denizens of the demimonde.

Perfect Awakening: An Edition and Translation of the Prasadika and Prasadaniya Sutras (Dirghagama Studies)
by Charles DiSimoneThe Long Discourses, or Dirghagama, is a collection of the Buddha&’s most well-known sermons that has circulated widely in the Buddhist world. The present volume is the first in a three-volume series to present this rare manuscript, with a study, translation, and critical edition of two of the sutras in the collection.Around thirty years ago, a rare bookseller in London parceled out birchbark leaves of a manuscript bundle representing an ancient scripture that had likely been unearthed in the Gilgit region of Pakistan. Even as the fragile folios entered collections in Japan, Norway, and the United States, they were identified by a scholar as belonging to the previously lost Sanskrit Dirghagama, the Collection of Long Discourses of the Buddha, of the Mulasarvastivadins. Although the forty-seven separate sutras in this agama have parallel transmissions extant in the Pali Digha-nikaya and the Chinese Chang ahan jing, this Sanskrit witness, copied in the eighth century, was previously known only from partial quotations and from translations in Tibetan and Chinese. The discovery was thus one of major significance in the study of Buddhist literature. This book, one of the first presentations of this manuscript in English, provides a translation, critical reconstruction, and study of two of the sutras in the Dirghagama: the Prasadika-sutra and the Prasadaniya-sutra. Both sutras offer what appears to have been late teachings of the Buddha on the nature of faith and the preeminence of the Buddha over all other teachers. The Buddhist community was evidently concerned about the coming passing of the Buddha and, in these scriptures, laid the foundation for the tradition to continue with the Buddha at the center. The Prasadaniya-sutra, in particular, is the locus classicus for the doctrine that only one Buddha and his teachings can exist in a world system at a time, ensuring that the Buddhist community would not be tempted to follow any other teacher who had not realized perfect awakening but would hold true to the Dharma of the Buddha. These sutras from the Mulasarvastivada tradition are made available to the public for the first time in over a thousand years with philological reconstructions and translations. They are accompanied by synoptic parallels from the corresponding Pali Long Discourses of the Theravada tradition and the Chinese Long Discourses of the Dharmaguptaka tradition along with citations and related passages from elsewhere in Buddhist literature. In addition, the work contains a full transliteration of the birchbark folios, an introduction to the two sutras with a study providing paleographic and textual analysis of the manuscript, and notes providing insight and explanation throughout.
Perfect Clarity
by Erik Pema Kunsang Marcia Schmidt Michael TweedPerfect Clarity is an anthology of essential writings on Mahamudra and Dzogchen for the student of Tibetan Buddhism. Mahamudra, a meditation practice focusing on the nature of mind, and Dzogchen, a body of teachings aimed at realizing the "great perfection" or natural, primordial state, are central to Vajrayana practitioners today. Translator Erik Pema Kunsang has selected works by legendary masters both ancient and modern. From the distant, mythic past come teachings from Guru Rinpoche (also known as Padmasambhava), the tantric master who established Vajrayana Buddhism in Tibet in the ninth century, his consort Yeshe Tsogyal, and the famous yogis Milarepa (1040-1123), and Longchenpa (1308-1363). More recent teachers included in this collection are Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche (1910-1991), and Khenpo Ganshar, the root guru of Chogyam Trungpa, and Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche. The writings are in a variety of forms reflecting the genius of each contributor: chapters of detailed meditation instructions, inspired poems, and parable-like stories.
Perfect Clarity
by Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche Longchen Rabjam Padmasambhava Guru Rinpoche Milarepa YogiFor practitioners on the paths of Dzogchen and Mahamudra, one of the greatest joys is to personally receive oral instructions from a realized teacher. The excitement of being able to train based on that advice is further enhanced by the stimulation and support that guidance manuals provide. All of the selections presented in Perfect Clarity offer incredible teachings that are inspiring and vital. Pith instructions are so simple and direct that we can easily apply them without fear of mistakes.These days, the most effective style of teaching is not lengthy scholarly explanations but rather direct guidance manuals The Dzogchen tantras themselves were written in a style that shrouds and conceals the meaning so that only a master who is extremely well-versed in oral instructions and treatises is able to clarify the meaning. On the other hand, based upon oral instructions a guidance manual is a short, comprehensive teaching written in a clear and simple manner. Such summaries of the Mahamudra and Dzogchen teachings contain all the teachings that a worthy practitioner requires to reach the state of primordial enlightenment in this very life.Tulku Urgyen RinpocheThe amazing collection in Perfect Clarity is rounded out by an introduction by Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, a preface by Marcia Dechen Wangmo, biographical data of the authors, a glossary, line drawings and photos and Tibetan source material references.
