This book engages the reader with its story-telling style as it illustrates the principles of Buddhism with concrete examples. Paying special attention to the rise of Buddhist practice in the West, Habito introduces the novice to Buddhist experience in its historical unity and the variety of traditions that reflect its essence. Integrated into Habito’s text are five personal accounts by practicing Buddhists: on being a Therevada Buddhist by the Venerable Dhammananda, Dr. Chatsumarn Kabilsing; on being a Zen Buddhist by Jan Chozen Bays; on being a Tibetan Buddhist by Judith Simmer Brown; on being a Pure Land Buddhist by Kenneth Tanaka; and on living the Lotus by Virginia Straus

17. Nagarjuna & the Philosophy of Openness/ Nancy McCagney/ Rs. 400

 Nancy McCagney demonstrates that the concept of space ('akasa') in early Indian Mahayana Buddhism is the root metaphor for Nagarjuna's understanding of 'sunyata', or openness. Nagarjuna's use of the term 'sunyata' was new, and contrasted with the word's use in Pali Buddhist literature. By using the word to mean 'openness,' Nagarjuna was able to elucidate, through a deeper analysis of impermanence, a consistent philosophical foundation for the truth and efficacy of Gautama's Middle Way. McCagney's book will be important for those studying Indian philosophy, Buddhism, and the philosophy of religion.

18. Mediating the Power of Buddhas- Ritual in the  Manjusrimulakalpa / Glenn Wallis/   Rs. 600

Analyzes a seventh-century ritual manual that provides both a rich source of information of medieval Buddhist life and addresses the ongoing concern of how an adherent can encounter the power of a buddha.

Mediating the Power of Buddhas offers a fascinating analysis of the seventh-century ritual manual, the Mañjusrimulakalpa. This medieval text is intended to reveal the path into a ritual universe where the power of a buddha abides. Author Glenn Wallis traces the strategies of the Mañjusrimulakalpa to enable its committed reader to perfect the promised ritual, uncovering what conditions must be met for ritual practice to succeed and what personal characteristics practitioners must possess in order to realize the ritual intentions of the Buddhist community. The manual itself was written at a key point in Buddhist history, one when Hindu forms of practice were still imitated and on the cusp of the shift from Mahayana to Vajrayana (or Tantric) Buddhism. In addition, the Mañjusrimulakalpa presents a rich compendium of Buddhist life in an earlier era, containing information on a variety of its readers' concerns: astrology, astronomy, medicine and healing, ritual practice, iconography, devotion, and meditation.

>
> This is an ambitious book, and as with all ambitious works it both
> fascinates and frustrates. Its ambitions cause the author to sometimes
> take on too much, and the focus of the work slips. Choudhurys work is
> about Empire, science and the technology it enables, and India. It is
> situated at the intersection of science and Empire through the emergence
> in the second half of the Nineteenth Century of electric telegraphy, the
> impact of the New Imperialism on Britains Indian Empire, and the
> centrality of India to the imperial project. Choudhury claims that,
> contrary to the received wisdom that the communications hub of the Empire,
> and thus the command and control center, was securely located in London,
> India acted as a communications hub for the formal and informal Empire
> that developed from Egypt to Australasia in the second half of the
> Nineteenth Century. Choudhury also claims that the increasing velocity and
> volume of information flow caused a series of global information panics
> that became particularly problematic as the 1800s turned to the 1900s.
>
> Although the term New Imperialism came into popular usage in Britain after
> 1880 historians have not generally accepted that there was any real break
> in the process of imperialism during the 1800s. Choudhury argues there was
> something new about imperialism after 1850 and that British popular
> perception was shaped through the experience of the first global
> electronic network (p. 5). One interpretation is that Britain kept
> acquiring territories to ensure its geopolitical security, especially in
> the light of the Great Game against Russia. Choudhury argues that the
> defense of Imperial lines of telegraphic communication was a far greater
> imperative (p. 99) and that the newness of New Imperialism lay not in its
> ideology but its technology (p. 122). Britain came to represent itself as
> a morally superior form of Empire based on rational science and the
> technology it made possible, the cornerstone of which was the telegraph.
> This is a useful corrective to our evolving understanding of the British
> Empire.
>
> Choudhury makes an interesting and convincing argument that the particular
> application of science that allowed, in particular, submarine telegraphy,
> was highly conservative, inasmuch as the central figure of that science,
> William Thomson, conceived of the flow of electrons as akin to a hydraulic
> flow, a fundamentally mechanistic analogy. Regrettably, Choudhury's
> account of the competing technologies ultimately frustrates. Thomson's
> embrace of the mechanistic analogy led him to ignore James Clerk Maxwells
> field theory. This put telegraphy under increasing threat from two
> directions, only one of which Choudhury analyzes. Understanding Maxwell's
> equations would eventually allow Heinrich Hertz, Oliver Lodge, and
> Guilielmo Marconi to apply Maxwellian field theory to wireless telegraphy,
> which in the hands of a Marconi Company armed with Lodge's patents and
> using vacuum tube technology developed by Bell Labs would prove to be a
> much cheaper technology than the submarine cables for imperial
> communications by the 1920s. The consequences of this are ably summarized
> on pages 127-128. Frustratingly, despite the excellent comparison of
> Thomson and Maxwell on pages 125-127, Maxwell's name is not in the index.
> Missing entirely is the attack upon terrestrial telegraphy mounted by the
> telephone. The first American to fully understand and apply Maxwellian
> field theory in telecommunications was the marvelously named John Stone
> Stone at Bell Labs, who provided the scientific basis to fulfill Bell
> Telephones push after 1900 to expand to true long distance telephony using
> first line loading then, by 1915, vacuum tube amplifiers to achieve
> transcontinental service.
>
> So where, and how, did India fit into the New Empire, especially in the
> aftermath of the Indian Mutiny, which forced the ouster of the East India
> Company and the imposition of direct rule. Here is one of the strengths of
> Choudhury's book, drawing as it does on Indian as well as British sources.
> At the same time the authors assumption that the reader will have a deep
> knowledge of Indian history and politics is challenging to all but
> Indianists. Choudhury gives us a fascinating account of the development of
> Indian terrestrial telegraphy before the Mutiny, and debunks the popular
> historical understanding that the British were able to use that network to
> mount an effective resistance to the Mutiny. The technology developed in
> India was unique and ultimately seriously flawed. The pre-Mutiny network
> was also unique in that it was entirely unrelated to railroad
> construction. In Europe and, especially, the United States of America the
> telegraph emerged as first the handmaiden of the railroads and then the
> conveyor of financial information, allowing the emergence of national and
> global futures markets, initially for agricultural products, the first
> based on Chicago, the second on London. In India the telegraph was truly a
> tool of the imperial state rather than of commerce, and once that pattern
> was established it tended to persist through such policies as requiring
> transmissions only in English. Choudhury makes clear, however, that Indian
> merchants, especially those in the financially important opium trade, were
> often able to subvert such policies. Certainly one cannot argue against
> his (re)positioning of India as central to the British imperial structures
> of the late Nineteenth and early Twentieth Centuries rather than merely a
> puppet. The Direct Rule imposed after the Mutiny tended to be a concept
> very much lost in translation, however hard British proconsuls may have
> tried. India continued to have one of the worlds largest armies, and even
> though that army often came to Britain's aid, such as in various colonial
> wars of the late 1800s and in the Middle East during World War One, it was
> scarcely under full British control.
>
> The peculiar contribution of this book for this reviewer lies in the
> understanding that the Empire followed the telegraph as much as the
> telegraph followed the British flag (p. 91). In a Nineteenth Century
> economy still heavily dependent on the output of the organic world
> Britain's logical concerns were food, agricultural raw materials for
> industry, such as cotton, and markets for its industrial products and
> financial services. But the world economy was turning by 1900 to one more
> focused on other flows: as Choudhury notes the telegraph provided a field
> and context in which newer strategic imperatives such as control over
> petroleum emerged toward the close of the nineteenth century (p. 82). The
> telegraph was important to the New Imperialism of the late 1800s but it is
> also an important model for the management of the unstated imperial
> projects of the late 1900s and early 2000s.
>
> Two sections seemed poorly related to the book, if fascinating: Chapter 7
> on the Telegraph General Strike of 1908; and the material on information
> panics. Clearly the Strike is of great interest and Choudhury's claim that
> the telegraphists formed an early virtual community is provocative. Given
> the claims made by Choudhury with regard to the role of information panics
> in accelerating geopolitical instability in the late 1800s they deserve to
> be the subject of a book by themselves.
