Revered by Buddhists in the United States and China, Master Sheng-yen shares his wisdom and teachings in this first comprehensive English primer of Chan, the Chinese tradition of Buddhism that inspired Japanese Zen. Often misunderstood as a system of mind games, the Chan path leads to enlightenment through apparent contradiction. While demanding the mental and physical discipline of traditional Buddhist doctrine, it asserts that wisdom (Buddha-nature) is innate and immediate in all living beings, and thus not to be achieved through devotion to the strictures of religious practice. You arrive without departing. Master Sheng-yen provides an unprecedented understanding of Chan, its precepts, and its practice. Beginning with a basic overview of Buddhism and meditation, Hoofprint of the Ox details the progressive mental exercises traditionally followed by all Buddhists. Known as the Three Disciplines, these procedures develop moral purity, meditative concentration, and enlightening insight through the "stilling" of the mind. Master Sheng-yen then expounds Chan Buddhism, recounting its centuries-old history in China and illuminating its fundamental tenets. He contemplates the nature of Buddhahood, specifies the physical and mental prerequisites for beginning Chan practice, and humbly considers what it means to be an enlightened Chan master. Drawing its title from a famous series of pictures that symbolizes the Chan path as the search of an ox-herd for his wayward ox, Hoofprint of the Ox is an inspirational guide to self-discovery through mental transformation. A profound contribution to Western understanding of Chan and Zen, this book is intended for practicing Buddhists as well as anyone interested in learning about the Buddhist path.

Ngacida opposes unity of South Sudan with Sudan because he believed that Arabs are gadabout people with a grim language that would not be understood or learned properly. He fears that unity with Arabs will discourage teaching of English language and encourage their civilization. He opposes unity of the people by opting to train young men in ox ploughing and other menial works such as cobbling, gunsmithing, wrestling among others. Jabbari from Arab tribe heard about Ngacida and travels to South Sudan from Mujlad city in Kordofan along with his companions with a pious aim of coming to make unity of the people attractive. He believes that the country would be easily united into one but skin color, underdevelopment of South Sudan as well as carnage carried out by the imperial soldiers hinders his proposal for unity of the country. After grasping failure in his proposal, he travels to Nyaga village to establish Arabic schools because he felt that it would be easy for him to expand his unionist ideas using the language which he would teach himself. Ngacida stood up and opposed this and any formal education system by encouraging young men of Nyaga village to become cattle keepers and use bulls for farming which he calls community education system where every man goes to the farm on a communal basis which they called kutkut in Dinka. He demobilized and mobilized young men from attending formal education system through his friend his majesty chief Ngueng who was later elected as a community leader after defeating commander Yak in a very tied traditional election. Jabbari grew annoyed because of this development resulting into dissension, strife, and discord between the two sides. Imperial soldiers went to the side of Jabbari while those of John Igga, Capt. Paul and Sergeant Deng went along side Ngacida and caused unbearable conflict in the country.

During a time when men think the stars are little children of the moon, thirteen-year-old Zim-ri is sold into slavery by his uncaring, debt-ridden father. After he is taken from his home, Zim walks in line with the other captives to the noble city of Ur, where he will learn his fate. Along the way, an old woman from his village stumbles in the line ahead of him. Zim rushes to Mara's side and promises the guards he will help her on the journey. As the two quickly bond, Mara teaches Zim how to see the world differently, deal with his fear of demons, and celebrate his talents. When Zim and the group finally arrive in the ancient city, Zim does his best to fit in while he and his ox work in the shadow of the great ziggurat where illness, sandstorms, and the unfamiliar laws make existence a challenge. More adventures wait outside Ur's walls, including robbers and a treasure-but Zim longs for just one thing: a family who loves him unconditionally. In this compelling young adult tale, a teen sold into slavery must build a new life for himself, thwart evil villains, and save a life-all while searching for the kind of happiness and acceptance he has always wanted.

Living Beings examines the vital characteristics of social interactions between living beings, including humans, other animals and trees.Many discussions of such relationships highlight the exceptional qualities of the human members of the category, insisting for instance on their religious beliefs or creativity. In contrast, the international case studies in this volume dissect views based on hierarchical oppositions between human and other living beings. Although human practices may sometimes appear to exist in a realm beyond nature, they are nevertheless subject to the pull of natural forces. These forces may be brought into prominence through a consideration of the interactions between human beings and other inhabitants of the natural world.The interplay in this book between social anthropologists, philosophers and artists cuts across species divisions to examine the experiential dimensions of interspecies engagements. In ethnographically and/or historically contextualized chapters, contributors examine the juxtaposition of human and other living beings in the light of themes such as wildlife safaris, violence, difference, mimicry, simulation, spiritual renewal, dress and language.
