An Exhibition of powerful imagery, disconcerting, humorous, and
full of questions. Sylvain Chamberlain is an artist unafraid to
speak directly to the elephant in the room. Questions of sexual
identity, dignity, and taboos continue to fill our modern world.
This collection of images endulges and succumbs to those politics
and psychology of power.
This is the recent exhibition of Sylvain Chamberlain's large scale
works of 2018 at the Threefold lotus Kwoon Art Gallery and School
of Buddhism. It is mister Chamberlain's wish to provoke dialog on
current social events to address the state of human behavior and
the necessity for human revolution to overturn the tendencies of
greed, anger, and stupidity.
This is a reprint of a full compilation of Chinese translated
Sanskrit and Buddhist hybrid texts written on the Perfection of
Wisdom teachings known as the Prajna-Paramita Sutra and published
in many versions from 300 lines to 100,000 lines and many versions
in between. I believe this to be the most complete version,
although the reader is to be aware that the central teaching in all
versions is the same. I find it is more clearly understood with the
typical excess of information in the format of the ancient
teachings from India, which in this case, provide that the central
message is not in fact, on emptiness, but on the perception of
"bodies". This follows the Buddhas meditation instruction in the
Satipatthana Sutta to calm or quell the "formations" of the body.
It is in the deep understanding of the void of quiescent energy and
the Amala consciousness that we can grasp the formations that lead
to the false duality presented in samsara.
early teachings on correct methods of meditation for Buddhist
practice. This book should only be read in the light of the
ultimate of Buddha's teachings in the Lotus Sutra.A very good
resource to accompany the teachings under supervision of a monk or
master.The most important concept being the "calming of the body
formation". A widely misunderstood concept of arresting the 12
linked causal chain from enacting its craving mechanisms.
A reprinting of an out-of-print rare book from the library of
Harvard University originally published in 1893. This essay is in
my opinion, albeit with some very western rhetoric, one of the most
accurate and true to the origins, transliteration of the doctrines
of Nichiren and the teachings of Buddha.
This is a collection of Nichiren's writings and excerpts dealing
with meanings and applications of the title of the Lotus Sutra.
From Indian Sanskrit to Chinese and Japanese translations and
phonetics to the core of all the Buddha's teachings, the title of
the Lotus as well as the heading of every on of the 28 chapters of
the Sutra, NamuMyoHoRenGeKyo, also known as the O'Daimoku or the
five or seven characters.
A revised translation of the writings of Nichiren Shonin. Great
care and scholarship was used to remove the centuries of
Westernised idioms infused into the original asiatic languages.
These idioms create mysticism where it does not belong or exist,
creating great misunderstandings and contradictions where there are
none. The Buddha's precious teachings were always based on
observable phenomena and actions. The paradigms of Buddhist
practice are Practice, Study, and developing a strong mind of
determination and conviction. There is no faith required. "Faith"
is a Western idiom of belief without substantiation or observable
phenomena. This is totally antithetical and corruption of Buddha's
teaching. You will find no such confusing language in our corrected
translations. We continue to look for such errors and we are
dedicated to the mission of correct translation of the Buddha's
teaching and the lineage of scholarship that follows.
A clarified and corrected Western translation of sacred Asian texts
written by Nichiren Shonin to his followers and contemporaries. All
Western idiomatic translations have been replaced with much more
accurate words reflecting the true conceptual knowledge of the
Buddha's teachings and scholarship of Eastern thought.
The final collection of Nichiren Shonin's writings as edited,
clarified, and corrected to reflect the straightforward teachings
of Buddhism without mysticism or misinformation. It is the sole
mission of the Threefold Lotus Kwoon to remove Western and Eastern
regional idiomatic translations that muddy the pure and perfect
teachings. The intent of the Buddha from his first teaching and
throughout his life culminating with the ultimate practice
teachings of the Lotus Sutra are free of any mysticism or esoteric
terms. Buddhism is totally based on observable phenomena and is a
practice suited for the modern human looking for clear and real day
to day logical practice to achieve a better quality of life and
truth.
THe continued corrections and clarification of Western translation
of the writings of Nichiren Shonin of the true lineage of
scholarship of the Buddha's precious teachings.
At the Threefold Lotus Kwoon Press, our only mission is to
correctly transmit the Buddha's precious and clear teachings as he
intended, for the enlightenment (awakening) of all people
regardless of status, capacity, or age. A scholarly effort to
remove Western translators' misguided attempts to use "familiar"
terms from Western religions to explain Asian concepts. This
introduced mysticism and contradictory language to defial what is
otherwise a perfect teaching.
