The Ancient Meditation Technique that Brings Real Peace of MindVipassand-bhavand, "the development of insight," embodies the essence of the teaching of the Buddha. As taught by S. N. Goenka, this path to self-awareness is extraordinary in its simplicity, its lack of dogma and, above all, its results. The Vipassana technique can be successfully applied by anyone. Based on the lectures and writings of S. N. Goenka--and prepared under his direct guidance--The Art of Living shows how this technique can be used to solve problems, develop unused potential, and lead a peaceful, productive life. It includes stories by S. N. Goenka, as well as answers to students' questions, that convey a vivid sense of his teaching. S. N. Goenka's Vipassana courses have attracted thousands of people of every background. Unique among teachers of meditation, Goenka is a retired industrialist and former leader of the Indian Community in Burma. Although a layman, his teaching has won the approval of senior Buddhist monks in Burma, India, and Sri Lanka, a number of whom have taken courses under his guidance. Despite his magnetism, he has no wish to be a "guru" --instead he teaches self-responsibility. This is the first systematic study of his teachings to appear in English.

A child learns that he must let go of hurt feelings and not let them grow big.
Iconography is undergoing a revival in twenty-first-century
American Catholicism. William Hart McNichols, who paints in his
studio in New Mexico, is one of the most popular iconographers of
this renaissance, and this book comprises a selection of his icons
and sacred images. The book presents images of holy women and holy
men as well as images of Mary and Jesus. Philosopher and theologian
John D. Dadosky introduces each piece and demonstrates how
McNichols’s paintings communicate sacred stories as well as mark
significant moments in the artist’s personal development.
This book covers all relevant techniques of diagnosis as well as
interpretations of clinical signs in Clinical Neuro-Ophthalmology.
All information is highly structured, highlighting 'definition',
'note' and 'pearl', so that it can also be used by the physician
during the patient encounter. The included flow chart posters
remind the physician of the most important information. This unique
and practical guide offers invaluable and practical advice for
physicians treating patients with neuro-ophthalmic problems.
The digital humanities is a rapidly growing field that is
transforming humanities research through digital tools and
resources. Researchers can now quickly trace every one of Issac
Newton's annotations, use social media to engage academic and
public audiences in the interpretation of cultural texts, and
visualize travel via ox cart in third-century Rome or camel caravan
in ancient Egypt. Rhetorical scholars are leading the revolution by
fully utilizing the digital toolbox, finding themselves at the
nexus of digital innovation.
"Rhetoric and the Digital Humanities "is a timely,
multidisciplinary collection that is the first to bridge
scholarship in rhetorical studies and the digital humanities. It
offers much-needed guidance on how the theories and methodologies
of rhetorical studies can enhance all work in digital humanities,
and vice versa. Twenty-three essays over three sections delve into
connections, research methodology, and future directions in this
field. Jim Ridolfo and William Hart-Davidson have assembled a broad
group of more than thirty accomplished scholars. Read together,
these essays represent the cutting edge of research, offering
guidance that will energize and inspire future collaborations.
In this edited volume, authors seek to document and analyze how
state and non-state actors leverage digital rhetoric as a
twenty-first-century weapon of war. Rhet Ops offer readers a chance
to focus on the human dimension of rhetorical practice within
mobile technologies and social networks: to reflect not only on the
durable question of what it means to conduct oneself ethically as a
speaker or writer, but also what it means to learn the art of
rhetoric as a means to engage adversaries in war and conflict.
Curator's Statement Light in All Darkness: Images and Icons by
William Hart McNichols is an exhibition brimming with inspiring
icons, figures and people from diverse backgrounds. You will see
icons of Kateri Tekakwitha "The Lily of the Mohawks," St. Rose of
Lima, Patroness of the Americas, and even Princess Diana. The real
"light in all darkness" of this exhibition is Father Bill himself.
It has been an honor to work with him on the exhibition and
catalog, sometimes daily, making a careful selection of the images
and icons you will see in this exhibit. We were very thoughtful in
selecting the images to bring hope and light to those in a time of
darkness. The timeliness of this exhibit has made it even more
impactful. Shanna Shelby, program administrator, McNichols Civic
Center Building, Denver Arts & Venues
This is a new release of the original 1935 edition.
