Book Description
The book, Wanderings, Windows, and White Paper, is not a storybook but a book of stories, poems, and a few drawings. Each of the stories is unique, but they connect to translate a wholesome idea of oneness. The plot and the presentation are simply incredible. The characters are nameless, known along the story as per their activities or simply as wanderers. They show up themselves to share a thought, a very new one, and ignite a new set of thought waves that refresh the whole thinking process of the reader instantly. A hidden potency in each sentence to recharge the reader with a gentle jolt is notable. The whole book celebrates the aloneness as the hidden source of power generation, mentioned throughout the book as ones own Self or Presence. The language is purely unique, original, not from the intellect nor of the heart or of the mouth, but intuitively poetic. A philosophical travelogue, a well-knit mystic bunch of short stories in a single thread of experiencing, with the fragrance of compassion that takes the reader away from the entangling hands of lines and space to a settled pause. And throws light on the beauty and courage, up on the midroadmoving.

Notebooks of a Wandering Monk
Author: Matthieu Ricard
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262375656
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 751
Book Description
The memoirs of renowned Buddhist monk Matthieu Ricard and his extraordinary journey toward inner freedom and compassion in action. Matthieu Ricard began his spiritual transformation at the age of twenty-one, in Darjeeling, India, when he met Tibetan teacher Kangyur Rinpoche, who deeply impressed the young man with his extraordinary quality of being. In Notebooks of a Wandering Monk, Ricard tells the simple yet extraordinary story of his journey and the remarkable men and women who inspired him along the way, including Kangyur Rinpoche, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, and the fourteenth Dalai Lama, as well as great luminaries such as Desmond Tutu, Jane Goodall, and a number of leading scientists. Growing up, Ricard, the son of philosopher Jean-François Revel and artist Yahne Le Toumelin, regularly found himself in the company of intellectuals and artists such as Luis Buñuel, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and Igor Stravinsky. Young Ricard loved nature, classical music, and science and dreamed of unlocking the mysteries of molecular biology. But, six years after meeting Kangyur Rinpoche, Ricard gave up a promising career in genetics to pursue a meditative life in the remote Himalayas. While spending half a century in India, Bhutan, and Nepal, he visited Tibet more than twenty times and spent years publishing rare Tibetan texts and photographing his spiritual teachers and the world in which they lived. Elegantly translated by Jesse Browner and accompanied by more than fifty full-color photographs, some of which are Ricard’s own, Notebooks of a Wandering Monk charts Ricard’s lifelong path to wisdom and compassion. This candid and reflective memoir will inspire all readers, wherever they may be on their own journey to a meaningful and well-lived life.

Wandering Spirits
Author: Janne Flora
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022661073X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
It is common to think of the Arctic as remote, perched at the farthest reaches of the world—a simple and harmonious, isolated utopia. But the reality, as Janne Flora shows us, is anything but. In Wandering Spirits, Flora reveals how deeply connected the Arctic is to the rest of the world and how it has been affected by the social, political, economic, and environmental shifts that ushered in the modern age. In this innovative study, Flora focuses on Inuit communities in Greenland and addresses a central puzzle: their alarmingly high suicide rate. She explores the deep connections between loneliness and modernity in the Arctic, tracing the history of Greenland and analyzing the social dynamics that shaped it. Flora’s thorough, sensitive engagement with the families that make up these communities uncovers the complex interplay between loneliness and a host of economic and environmental practices, including the widespread local tradition of hunting. Wandering Spirits offers a vivid portrait of a largely overlooked world, in all its fragility and nuance, while engaging with core anthropological concerns of kinship and the structure of social relations.

Author: John Loomis M.D.
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1440198241
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
John Loomis grew up in a small South Texas town during the last days of the Great Depression and World War II. As an only child, and with disturbed parents, he was isolated from his peers. Growing up shy, bookish, and knowing from a very early age that he was different in some unacceptable way, he was very distressed to find out from the high school library that he was gay. There was no one to turn to for help or information. He thought the only other gay person on earth was Andre Gide, the great French writer, but he was too far away to visit. Feeling alone, but not lonely, he went on to college and medical school, and after that did psychiatric training and opened an office in New York City. Gradually, he made peace with being gay and began a search for love, which led to many adventures, disasters, happiness, and heartbreak. After inheriting the family business, he was torn between it and his medical practice. He developed alcoholism, the family disease, and was also troubled by recurrent depressions. Beginning his recovery from alcoholism in 1977, he has been able to construct a generally happy life.
