Описание: Few gave tiny Singapore much chance of survival when it was granted independence in 1965. How is it, then, that today the former British colonial trading post is a thriving Asian metropolis with not only the world`s number one airline, but also the world`s fourth-highest per capita real income? This title is the story of that transformation.

Описание: This book presents the three most renowned genres of contemplation in Mahayana Ch'an Buddhism. They are: Kong-an, Hua-to, and the Seven Enquiries about the Mind. As for Kong-an, the subject matter employed here are all concerning Master Bodhidharma, the first Patriarch of Chinese Ch'an Buddhism and the 28th Patriarch of in India. These three Kong-ans are: 1.The Mind is Nowhere to be found; 2.The Patriarch's Quatrain for advanced practice; 3.Bodhidharma's Skin, Flesh, Bones, and Marrow. After reading these, you would have a pretty clear picture about Kong-an and how to make contemplation on it, as well as about the over-all quintessence of fountainhead of Ch'an Buddhism. The second renowned genre of contemplation in Ch'an Buddhism is Hua-to. Hua-to is, as it were, a diminutive of Kong-an. Or to put it this way, Kong-an is a novel, a long story, while Hua-to is a novelette, a short story. But both of them are stories. By the same token, the Kong-an is a long contemplative material, containing a story with a complete plot--the beginning, the middle, and the denouement (ending)--for its body. Whereas the Hua-to would not have a plot; it consists only of a sentence, or a phrase. Therefore, in comparison with Kong-an, it is similar to a Kong-an in miniature, or a compressed Kong-an, for the general effect resulted in contemplating on Hua-to was supposed to be the same in contemplating on Kong-an. The instance of Hua-to scrutinized here is "Who is saying 'Namo Amito-Fo' (or 'Namo Amitabha Buddha')?" The Third genre of contemplation in Ch'an Buddhism is one based on the d104 of the Sutras. And under this rubric, the one cited and examined here is just a very prestigious one, if not the most renowned; it is called "The Seven Inquiries to locate the Mind," from The Surangama Sutra. With the knowledge and skills built up in learning to contemplate on the first two genres, the Kong-an and Hua-to, one would then be able to go on to learn and practice the contemplation of this genre. And having learned about the three genres of contemplation presented in this book, one would virtually have covered the most predominant contemplations in Ch'an Buddhism.

Описание: Lee Kuan Yew was anything but a coaster, giving it all he had until the very end. And when his long and exceptional life came to its natural end in March 2015, at 91, the outpouring of respect was worldwide. This man, whatever his faults, had been a giant of his time. Over a few decades, he led the grand parade to build modern Singapore and in the process practically redefined quality government for all to see. His views on global geopolitics were universally regarded as benchmark savvy. But what was this often private and guarded `Giant of Asia` truly like? Drawing on interviews with LKY in the 1990s and 2000s - as well as two afternoons of conversations in 2009 - author, journalist and professor Tom Plate pieces together the driven personality and relentless pragmatism of one of the most outstanding leaders of the last half of the 20th century. "You have done a superb job of capturing the many facets of this extraordinary man...." - Dr Henry A. Kissinger on Conversations with Lee Ku
