A Socio-political Study of the Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa
Author: Ramashraya Sharma
Publisher: Motilal Banarsidass Publ.
ISBN: 9788120800786
Category : India
Languages : en
Pages : 510
Book Description
The work presents in a critical and analytical way a comprehensive picture of ancient Indian culture and civilization as reflected in the Ramayana of Valmiki. In forming an estimate of the social and political consciousness of the Ramayanic people the author has not been guided by the obiter dicta interspersed throughout the poem but by the actual behaviour of the various characters of the poem. In his treatment of every social and political institution the author has tried to give in the beginning a brief resume of its evolution from the vedic times to the epic period.

The New Buddhism
Author: David Brazier
Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan
ISBN: 0312295189
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
This is a manifesto for a more active, compassionate, and socially engaged Buddhism—one grounded in the Buddha's original intention. The New Buddhism asserts that Buddha was a radical critic of society, and that his vision of a new social order transcended racial and economic divisions. Brazier takes a new look at many aspects of Buddhism and reinterprets them in light of the Buddha's social aims. Western and Eastern visions of enlightenment are juxtaposed, and the author draws a line between 'extinction Buddhism' and 'liberation Buddhism'—the former seeks to release the individual from the world, while the latter seeks to perfect the world by freeing it from the forces of greed, hatred, and delusion. The New Buddhism states clearly and boldly that Buddhism should be—and originally was—about engagement with the world. This illuminating guide brings Buddhism to the West and into contemporary life in an accessible and thought-provoking way. It shows that for genuine renewal, Buddhism must be about more than contemplation and personal growth but also about the practice of truth, and having compassion for all.
