This book surveys the full panorama of ten centuries of Christian monastic life. It moves from the deserts of Egypt and the Frankish monasteries of early medieval Europe to the religious ruptures of the eleventh and twelfth centuries and the reforms of the later Middle Ages. Throughout that story the book balances a rich sense of detail with a broader synthetic view. It presents the history of religious life and its orders as a complex braid woven from multiple strands: individual and community, spirit and institution, rule and custom, church and world. The result is a synthesis that places religious life at the center of European history and presents its institutions as key catalysts of Europe’s move toward modernity.

This up-to-date and refined photo book chronicles the tempestuous first millennium of Tibetan Buddhism - from the early days of Empire under King Songtsen Gampo to the full-fledged and mature religious landscape of the mid-17th century. This tumultuous age is broken down into the periods: 630-850 Glory Days of Empire; 850-1000 Monastic Buddhism in Retreat; 1000-1100 Guge Kingdom Revival; 1100-1400 Buddhism's Great Surge; 1400-1650 Tibet's Golden Age. The book tracks the rise and fall of the key monastic orders over this era, along with the ebb and flow of political regimes as they arose and declined, aided and abetted by foreign and regional allies. Geographically, the emphasis is on the power centres in which the faith flourished: Central Tibet, taking in the Yarlung, Lhasa and Tsang; and the unheralded yet momentous impact of the mystical Guge Kingdom of West Tibet, Spiti and Ladakh. The long story of the Tibetan Cultural World is told through a selection of more than twenty of the most significant and evocative sites from Tibet's long history. The monasteries, palaces and monastic sites represent each of these regions and each of the major religious players in Tibetan affairs. Short histories of each site are included together with notes describing their abiding importance to present day visitors. A major focus of the work is the provision of copious images of the architecture, interiors and artworks of these quintessential institutions bequeathed to us by destiny. This extensive collection was photographed in ambient light using the most advanced modern equipment to render the dim interiors in a balanced and realistic colour palette. Blurb's best photographic paper is used to ensure the finest details are rendered faithfully. As the product of 15 years of near-constant Himalayan travel, this extensively researched and well-crafted book comprises 232 pages; presents 380 images of rarely seen subject matter; and is detailed in 60,000 words of text.

Though India is no longer a Buddhist country, Buddhism held its place among Indian faiths for nearly seventeen centuries (500 B.C.--A.D. 1200). During this long stretch of time the Buddhist monks were organized in Sanghas in most parts of the country and their activities and achievements have profoundly influenced India`s traditional culture. There are monumental remains of Buddhist monastic life scattered all over India: in the south there are about a thousand cave-monasteries, among them Ajanta, world-famous for its exquisite mural paintings; in the north, less spectacular, the ruins of monastic edifices from Taxila in the west to Paharpur in the east. A connected history of the Buddhist monks of ancient India, their activities, their monastic establishments and their contributions to Indian culture, is available for the first time in this work, which is remarkable also for its pervading human interest. In reconstructing the history of the emperors and kings who were patrons of Buddhism, the early missionaries and the illustrious monk-scholars of later times, the author has used sources in four languages--Pali, Sanskrit, Chinese and Tibetan. Contents The primitive sangha, The asoka-satavahana age 250 BC-AD 100 and its legacy, In the Gupta age (AD 300-550) and after, Eminent monk-Scholars of India, Monastic Universities, (AD 500-1200), Bib., Index.

A journey around the world to find tranquility, quiet the mind, and understand the power of silence. Suffering from information overload and unable to sleep, acclaimed journalist Sarah Sands tried countless strategies to de-stress, only to find temporary relief. Searching for something different, something lasting, Sands went on a quest to uncover ancient and proven wisdom for a happier, quieter, and more compassionate life. In this insightful and beautifully written book, Sands takes us along on her pilgrimage to ten monasteries around the world. In the remoteness of these sacred spaces, Sands observes a hidden knowledge held by monks and nuns—what she calls "the interior silence." Renouncing the material world, their inner concentration buoys them in an extraordinary weightlessness and freedom, an oasis of reflection. Behind the cloistered walls, Sands too finds a clarity of mind and an unexpected capacity for solitude. From a Coptic desert community in Egypt to a retreat in the Japanese mountains, discover another way of being—moving from appetite, envy, and anxiety to compassion and appreciation. The ultimate remedy for a digital age in which everyone is talking, and no one is listening, this book reminds us of the importance of silence and the power of stillness. BEYOND MINDFULNESS: The trendiness and explosion of books on meditation and mindfulness does not always solve our modern-day stressors or our fight-or-flight existence. The Interior Silence goes beyond new-age mindfulness to offer traditional wisdom from monks for quieting the mind and embracing simplicity. DISCOVER ANCIENT WISDOM: For spiritual readers and wisdom seekers, The Interior Silence takes you directly to the root of these ancient practices, learning from monastic life around the world. FOR ARMCHAIR TRAVELERS: For readers who enjoyed The Geography of Bliss, anyone who enjoys learning about new places and cultures, or for those craving a trip, this book will take you to the countryside's, deserts, and mountains of Japan, France, Egypt, Greece, and more.
