E.J. Eitel

1873. This is a short monograph about Feng Shui, the principle of humanity being in balance with its surroundings. Eitel, a missionary, who took a post in China, first brought Feng Shui to the attention of the western world over a century ago. Because of his Christian doctrine, Eitel is somewhat dismissive of Chinese culture, but he grudgingly admits that there may be some grain of truth in Feng Shui. Contents: The Laws of Nature; The Numerical Proportions of Nature; The Breath of Nature; The Forms and Outlines of Nature; and The History and Literature of Feng-shui. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.

Handbook of Chinese Buddhism Being a Sanskrit, Chinese Dictionary (Paperback): E.J. Eitel Handbook of Chinese Buddhism Being a Sanskrit, Chinese Dictionary (Paperback)
E.J. Eitel
R793 Discovery Miles 7 930 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

1888. With Vocabularies of Buddhist Terms in Pali, Singhalese, Siamese, Burmese, Tibetan, Mongolian and Japanese. From the Preface: The student of Chinese religious literature finds himself at almost every step hampered by the continual recurrence of Sanskrit and other foreign terms embedded in the text, generally without a word of explanation. These form a series of vexatious riddles for a clue to which one has to go beyond the range of a Chinese library. This is especially the case with Buddhist works, many of which are simply translations from Sanskrit or Pali or Tibetan originals. Hence arises the need of a Dictionary like the present which aims at smoothing the pathway to an understanding of Buddhism and of native religions influenced by it.
