Ask the Awakened: The Negative Way By Wei Wu Wei
2002 | 203 Pages | ISBN: 0971078645 | PDF | 1 MB
Between the years 1958 and 1974, a series of books appeared that were attributed to the mysterious Wei Wu Wei. This is a new edition of perhaps the most important of these. It draws on a variety of sources, including Taoism (specifically texts attributed to Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu); Buddhism (especially the Heart, Diamond, and Lankavatara Sutras); Chan Buddhism (as taught by Hui Neng, Huang Po, Hui Hai, etc.); and the teachings of Padmasambhava and Sri Ramana Maharshi, among others.This classic gem of Eastern spirituality will find a renewed readership in the current climate of interest in Buddhism. Wei Wu Wei's unique and fresh interpretation of the ancient teachings opens the reader's eyes: "Why are you unhappy? Because 99.9 percent of everything you think, and of everything you do, is for yourself--and there isn't one." This powerful book rewards by exposing illusions and takes the reader beyond logic to the inexpressible truth of existence.Author Biography: The identity of Wei Wu Wei was not revealed at the time of the publication of his first book. But we now know a few background details that help put the writings into context. He was born in 1895 into a well-established Irish family, was raised on an estate outside Cambridge, England, and went to Oxford. Early in life, he pursued an interest in Egyptology. This was followed by a period of involvement in the arts in Britain in the 1920s and 1930s. Having exhausted his interest in this field, he turned to philosophy and metaphysics, traveling throughout Asia and spending time at the ashram of Sri Ramana Maharshi. In 1958, at the age of 63, he saw the first of the Wei Wu Wei

Anthropogenic Tropical Forests: Human-Nature Interfaces on the Plantation Frontier by Noboru Ishikawa
English | PDF | 2019 | 639 Pages | ISBN : 9811375119 | 38.3 MB
The studies in this volume provide an ethnography of a plantation frontier in central Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo. Drawing on the expertise of both natural scientists and social scientists, the key focus is the process of commodification of nature that has turned the local landscape into anthropogenic tropical forests. Analysing the transformation of the space of mixed landscapes and multiethnic communities―driven by trade in forest products, logging and the cultivation of oil palm―the contributors explore the changing nature of the environment, multispecies interactions, and the metabolism between capitalism and nature.
Annual Report on China's Response to Climate Change (2017): Implementing The Paris Agreement by Weiguang Wang
