Sunday Times Bestseller 'I can't rewrite history; all I can do is
be honest and wear my heart on my sleeve. It's really the only way
I know. I want to show people the real me. Or perhaps remind them.
Because, somewhere - amongst the nightclubs, the frocks and
hairdos, the big chart hits, and the glamour of being a popstar -
the other Sarah Harding got utterly lost. She's the one who's been
forgotten. And all I want is for you to hear her out.' Sarah
Harding is best known as the wild member of Girls Aloud, whose
reputation for partying, drinking and dating made her a tabloid
favourite. But where does the celebrity Sarah Harding end and the
real Sarah begin? Faced with a devastating cancer diagnosis that
turned her life upside down, Sarah has decided that now is the time
to write her story. Her truth. This is Sarah Harding in her own
words.
Providing a rare glimpse of feminine Buddhist history, "Niguma,
Lady of Illusion" brings to the forefront the life and teachings of
a mysterious eleventh-century Kashmiri woman who became the source
of a major Tibetan Buddhist practice lineage. The circumstances of
her life and extraordinary qualities ascribed to her are analyzed
in the greater context of spiritual biography and Buddhist
doctrine. More than a historical presentation, Niguma's story
raises the question of women as real spiritual leaders versus male
images of feminine principle and other related contemporary issues.
This volume includes the thirteen works that have been attributed
to Niguma in the Tibetan Buddhist canon. These collected works form
the basis of an ancient lineage Shangpa, which continues to be
actively studied and practiced today. These works include the
source verses for such esoteric practices as the Six Yogas, the
Great Seal, and the Chakrasamvara and Hevajra tantric practices
that are widespread in Tibetan traditions. Also included is the
only extant biography, which is enhanced by the few other sources
of information on her life and work.
Fear, anger, and negativity are states that each of us have to
contend with. Machik's 'Complete Explanation', the most famous book
of the teachings of Machik Lapdron, the great female saint and
yogini of 11th- to 12th-century Tibet, addresses these issues in a
practical, direct way. Machik developed a system, the Mahamudra
Chod that takes the Buddha's teachings as a basis and applies them
to the immediate experiences of negative mind states and malignant
forces.
These fascinating discussions between 11th century court ladies and
the great master Padmasambhava, available for the first time in
English, weave intriguing issues of gender into Buddhist teachings.
The women's doubts and hesitations are masterfully resolved in
these impassioned exchanges. The wonderful material in this book is
part of a terma (treasure) revealed by Pema Lingpa (1450-1521), the
greatest terton (treasure-revealer) of the Himalayan kingdom of
Bhutan. The pithy collection is rounded out by Pema Lingpa's
astonishing life story..
In this study, Sarah Harding examines Paul's anthropology from the
perspective of eschatology, concluding that the apostle's view of
humans is a function of his belief that the cosmos evolves through
distinct aeons in progress toward its telos. Although scholars have
frequently assumed that Paul's anthropological utterances are
arbitrary, inconsistent, or dependent upon parallel views extant in
the first-century world, Harding shows that these assumptions only
arise when Paul's anthropology is considered apart from its
eschatological context. That context includes the temporal
distinction of the old aeon, the new aeon, and the significant
overlap of aeons in which those "in Christ" dwell, as well as a
spatial dimension that comprises the cosmos and the powers that
dominate it (especially sin and the Holy Spirit). These
eschatological dimensions determine the value Paul attaches to any
particular anthropological "aspect." Harding examines the
cosmological power dominant in each aeon and the structures through
which, in Paul's view, these influence human beings, examining
texts in which Paul discusses nous, kardia, and s?ma in each aeon.
