The dictionary demonstrates the rich profusion of cults, divinities, symbols, sects and philosophical views encompassed by the Hindu religious tradition.

An Illustrated History of the Mandala: From Its Genesis to the Kalacakratantra
by Kimiaki TanakaEveryone’s heard of mandalas; now we have a uniquely rich history and explanation of their history and meaning.This book is a history of the genesis and development of the mandala from the fifth and sixth centuries, when the mandala first appeared in India, to the eleventh century, when the Kalacakratantra appeared just before the disappearance of Buddhism in India. The 600 years of Indian esoteric Buddhism that concluded the 1,700-year history of Indian Buddhism could be said to have been the history of the development of the mandala. (The Kalacakratantra integrated earlier mandala theories into a single system and established a monumental system unprecedented in the history of esoteric Buddhism. It was thus the culmination of the development of Indian Buddhism over a period of 1,700 years.) The analysis is at the micro level and includes numerous illustrations and charts. Particular attention is paid to proper names, mudras, and mantras that have been overlooked by scholars in philosophy and doctrine, and the author tackles issues that cannot be explained solely from a historical viewpoint, such as geometric patterns, the arrangement of deities, the colors, and their meaning in Buddhist doctrine.

La Iluminada
by Bryan Davis¿Y si son ciertas las leyendas? Jason Masters dudaba de los mitos que hablaban de unos seres humanos que eran llevados a través de un portal a otra esfera, donde eran esclavizados por unos dragones. Pero cuando recibió un enigmático mensaje de su hermano perdido, comprendió que era necesario que descubriera la verdad y hallara el portal antes que fuera demasiado tarde. Al mismo tiempo, Koren, esclava junto con los demás humanos que se hallan en la esfera de los dragones, descubre que posee un don que lo mismo podría salvar, que ayudar a destruir a los suyos. Mientras Jason y Koren se esfuerzan por rescatar a los seres humanos esclavizados, una profecía mística acerca de un huevo negro habría podido hacer inútiles todos sus esfuerzos. En La Iluminada, el exitoso escritor Bryan Davis entreteje de una manera maestra la fantasía con la inspiración para crear una cautivante modela dirigida a los adultos jóvenes.

Ilusiones (Centro Literario)
by Richard BachPor el autor de Juan Salvador Gaviota. Historia para descubrir lo más hondo de nosotros mismos. En el espacio aéreo sin nubes que se extiende entre los campos de maíz de Illinois y el azul infinito, un hombre deposita su fe en la hélice de su biplano. Para ese piloto, la fe es tan real como un depósito lleno de gasolina# hasta que se encuentra con Donal Shimoda, un antiguo mecánico que se define como un mesías y es capaz de lograr que las penas desaparezcan y que la imaginación remonte el vuelo. En Ilusiones descubrimos las verdades atemporales que dan alas a nuestras almas: que la gente no necesita máquinas voladoras para levantar el vuelo, que incluso las nubes más oscuras tienen un sentido cuando nos situamos por encima de ellas y que los mesías pueden encontrarse en lugares tan insospechados como un campo de heno, un pueblo perdido en medio de la llanura o, sobre todo, en lo más hondo de nosotros mismos.

I'm Black. I'm Christian. I'm Methodist.
by Justin Coleman F. Willis Johnson Pamela R. Lightsey Lillian C. Smith Erin Beasley Jevon Caldwell-Gross Vance P. Ross Rodney Lorenzo Graves Tori C. ButlerIt’s uncertain that Howard Thurman made the remark often attributed to him, "I have been writing this book all my life," but there is little doubt that he was deeply immersed in reflection on the times that bear an uncanny resemblance to the present day, which give voice to the Black Lives Matter movement. <P><P> Our "life’s book" is filled with sentence upon sentence of marginalization, pages of apartheid, chapters of separate and unequal. Now this season reveals volumes of violence against Blacks in America. <P><P> Ten Black women and men explore life through the lens of compelling personal religious narratives. They are people and leaders whose lives are tangible demonstrations of the power of a divine purpose and evidence of what grace really means in face of hardship, disappointment, and determination. Each of the journeys intersect because of three central elements that are the focus of this book. We’re Black. We’re Christians. We’re Methodists. Each starts with the fact, "I'm Black," but to resolve the conflict of being Christian and Methodist means confronting aspects of White theology, White supremacy, and White racism in order to ground an oppositional experience toward domination over four centuries in America.

I'm Gonna Bury You
by Gene NeillMost people look for God in churches; temples, synagogues or in schools of religion. Gene Neill found God in a lonely prison cell! Many people seek for truth in books, in philosophies, and in schools of learning. But Gene discovered the ultimate truth of all life on the floor of a prison cell. Truth incarnate in the person of the risen Lord Jesus Christ! If Gene Neill -- the successful "Perry Mason of South Florida" -- had been a student of the Bible, he could have discovered from the writings of Solomon that happiness does not come by wealth, power, eating, drinking, or permissiveness in conduct. But Gene was an atheist. Not a Bible scholar. And though his adventure into crime was of short duration -- only a few short years -- the penalty was a long prison sentence! Fifty years!

I'm More Than the Pastor's Wife: Authentic Living in a Fishbowl World
by Lorna DobsonLorna Dobson knows firsthand the struggles and joys of being married to a pastor—and the questions, not the least of which is, “What is a ‘pastor's wife,’ anyway?” As her poll of hundreds of women reveals, the wife of a minister is rarely the piano-playing, committee-leading stereotype. With humor, disarming genuineness, personal stories, and wisdom rooted in Scripture, Dobson cuts through the labels. “How I live has little to do with whether my husband is a pastor; rather, my life reflects my growth, or lack of it, as a Christian.” In this revised edition of I’m More Than the Pastor’s Wife, she includes new perspectives as a grandparent, soon-to-be empty-nester, and speaker. Here are frontline insights on ·Making friends and cultivating personal support outside the church ·Learning to handle expectations and pressures ·Balancing time and using your gifts ·Supporting your husband and growing closer to him ·Prioritizing prayer for your husband, family, and church ·Knowing your capabilities and limits ·Dealing with “problem people” and church conflicts . . . and much more!
