Both Buddhism and dance invite the practitioner into present-moment embodiment. The rise of Western Buddhism, sacred dance and dance/movement therapy, along with the mindfulness meditation boom, has created opportunities for Buddhism to inform dance aesthetics and for Buddhist practice to be shaped by dance. This collection of new essays documents the innovative work being done at the intersection of Buddhism and dance. The contributors--scholars, choreographers and Buddhist masters--discuss movement, performance, ritual and theory, among other topics. The final section provides a variety of guided practices.

"In the great movement of Buddhism to the West, Ruth Denison has been a pioneer. The first Buddhist teacher to lead an all-women's retreat and the first teacher to use movement and dance to train her students in mindfulness, Denison created a quintessentially female, body-centered way of teaching the Dharma. One of the first meditation instructors at the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Massachusetts, she has taught extensively in the United States and Europe for thirty years, helping to establish meditation centers in Canada, Germany, and California. She still teaches at her own center in the Mojave Desert of California." "Capturing the unique charm of Denison's voice in vivid scenes and anecdotes, Sandy Boucher tells the gripping story of Ruth's youth in Nazi-dominated Germany and her struggle to survive the near-fatal abuses and privations that befell her after the war. After immigrating to California, Ruth met and married Henry Denison, a spiritual seeker and Vedanta devotee. Through the sixties and seventies they were active participants in the explorations of the counterculture, hosting parties attended by luminaries like Alan Watts, Aldous and Laura Huxley, and Timothy Leary, and traveling to Asia and Europe to study with the major spiritual teachers of the twentieth century. All this became a rich fertilizer for Ruth's later flowering as a Buddhist teacher in the eighties and nineties, which Boucher examines from Ruth's hesitant first formal meditation retreats, through controversy, to her ripening into a mature, wise, and yet always unpredictable teacher."--BOOK JACKET.

Dancing the Dharma examines the theory and practice of allegory by exploring a select group of medieval Japanese noh plays and treatises. Susan Blakeley Klein demonstrates how medieval esoteric commentaries on the tenth-century poem-tale Ise monogatari (Tales of Ise) and the first imperial waka poetry anthology Kokin wakashū influenced the plots, characters, imagery, and rhetorical structure of seven plays (Maiguruma, Kuzu no hakama, Unrin’in, Oshio, Kakitsubata, Ominameshi, and Haku Rakuten) and two treatises (Zeami’s Rikugi and Zenchiku’s Meishukushū). In so doing, she shows that it was precisely the allegorical mode—vital to medieval Japanese culture as a whole—that enabled the complex layering of character and poetic landscape we typically associate with noh. Klein argues that understanding noh’s allegorical structure and paying attention to the localized historical context for individual plays are key to recovering their original function as political and religious allegories. Now viewed in the context of contemporaneous beliefs and practices of the medieval period, noh plays take on a greater range and depth of meaning and offer new insights to readers today into medieval Japan.

This expanded edition contains both of the very popular Lama Yeshe booklets, Becoming Your Own Therapist and Make Your Mind an Ocean.Becoming Your Own TherapistFirst published in 1998, this booklet contains three public talks by Lama Yeshe on the general topic of Buddhism. Each lecture is followed by a question and answer session. Lama and his audiences always enjoyed the give and take of these lively exchanges, and pretty much anything went. Although these talks were called lectures, Lama would have each of us use them as a mirror for our minds and look beyond the words, find ourselves, and become our own psychologist.Make Your Mind an OceanThe talks in this booklet are on the general topic of the mind. Two were lunchtime lectures at Melbourne and Latrobe Universities. One was an evening lecture given to the general public. Perhaps of greatest interest is the lecture entitled "A Buddhist Approach to Mental Illness." Lama presented this talk to a group of psychiatrists at Prince Henry's Hospital who were delighted to meet and question Lama, and this historic exchange underscores the difference between Western and Buddhist concepts of mental health.
