Chinese Poetry Collections: Book of Songs, Chu CI, Three Hundred Tang Poems, Quantangshi, the Selected Poems of Du Fu, Facing the Moon $9.16 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Chapters: Book of Songs, Chu Ci, Three Hundred Tang Poems, Quantangshi, the Selected Poems of Du Fu, Facing the Moon, One Hundred Poems From the Chinese. Not illustrated. Excerpt: The Book of Songs (simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: ; pinyin: Sh Jng; Wade-Giles: Shih Ching), translated variously as the Classic of Poetry, or the Book of Odes, is the earliest existing collection of Chinese poems. It comprises 305 poems, some possibly written as early as 1000 BC. It forms part of the Five Classics. The Book of Songs is the best source for the daily lives, hopes, complaints and beliefs of ordinary people in the early Zhou period. Over half of the poems are said to have originally been popular songs. They concern basic human problems such as love, marriage, work, and war. Others include court poems, and legendary accounts praising the founders of the Zhou dynasty. Included are also hymns used in sacrificial rites, and songs used by the arisotracy in their sacrificial ceremonies or at banquets. The poems of Book of Songs have strict patterns in both rhyme and rhythm, make much use of imagery, and tend to be short; they set the pattern for later Chinese poetry. The Book of Songs is regarded as a revered Confucius classic, and has been studied and memorized by centuries of scholars in China. The popular songs were seen as good keys to understanding the troubles of the common people, and were often read as allegories; complaints against lovers were seen as complaints against faithless rulers, for example. Confucius was supposed to have selected and edited the poems from a much larger body of material. The collection is divided into three parts according to their genre, namely feng, ya and song, with the ya genre further divided into “small” and “large… More:

Confucianism: Origins, Beliefs, Practices, Holy Texts, Sacred Places $143.29 Six centuries before the birth of Jesus, a Chinese sage named Master Kong or Kong Fuzi (later latinized to Confucius) drafted the principles of a society founded upon virtue. For more than two thousand years, Kong Fuzi’s work has remained the foundation of Chinese civilization. In this lavishly illustrated volume, Jennifer Oldstone-Moore takes readers on an insightful tour of this enduring belief system. Not quite a religion, more than a philosophy, Confucianism coexists with Daoism and Buddhism in Chinese spiritual life, guiding personal relations and socialstructure. Oldstone-Moore explains the essence of Confucian belief–the primary importance of filial relations, and the need for governments to be founded upon virtue–and she underscores the overarching importance of the Confucian canon. Though Confucius’s own sayings are preserved in the Analects, he saw himself as an editor and mediator of the wisdom of antiquity, which he gathered in the Six Classics and Four Books, which stress harmony in the social order. The author sheds much light on these texts–The Book of Changes, the Classic of History, the Classic of Poetry, the Spring and AutumnAnnals, the Book of Rites, and the now-lost Classic of Music–and also discusses the role of heroes (such as the Sage Kings), rituals and the Chinese calendar, sacred places, and Confucianism’s place as a state religion through much of Chinese history. No society on earth has had the continuous history–as a single people, culture, and state–that China enjoys. One of the keys to that unity, to China’s very identity, is Confucianism, deftly elucidated in this attractive, informative volume.

Laoism: The Complete Teachings of Lao Zi $12.93 Just as Buddhism is recognized as the teachings of Buddha and Confucianism is a school of thought taught by Confucius, we now have the word Laoism to identify the teachings of the ancient Chinese philosopher, Lao Zi. Laoism is the first English depiction to distinguish Lao Zi’s teachings from Taoism, a native religion of China. Lao Zi ascribes to everything in Taoism, personally, philosophically, and spiritually. But you cannot equate the Tao with Lao Zi. Tao is the Chinese equivalent for the Ultimate, the Way, the Power, and God. Taoism is a collective representation of Chinese beliefs and practices in accordance with the Tao, and enables Laoism as well. Laoism is a personalized teaching with a belief system stressing softness, humility, and weakness in the face of life. It has no dogmatic nor institutional attachment to the shamanistic, ritualistic, and religious practices of Taoism. Laoism is a school of and by itself. Any person, whether scholar or practitioner, who follows Laoism is practically a Laoist himself. Aside from the long-lived work of Tao Te Ching, Lao Zi handed down another priceless treasure, namely the Fourteen Character Couplet. This Couplet is an excellent representation of his two volume work, Tao and Te. It is the magic of symbolic and talisman-like representation of Laoist’s understanding of the power of Tao and the Action of Te, depicted in his own creative Chinese characters. Each character represents a single step, a stage, and state-of-one-being with the Tao and the loving action of Self. Collectively, they demonstrate one of the most concise and visually spiritual disciplines among all the existing traditions in the world. Now is the time to sharethis treasure, to present its powerful message to all. Laosim is a text on the complete teachings of Lao Zi: both Tao Te Ching and Couplet. This is his legacy to mankind.

Men of Ideas $11.95 Men Of Ideas is a concise, easy-to-read presentation of the lives and thinking of more than 20 of the great philosophers.The lives and ideas of some of the world’s best-known philosophers are presented in Men Of Ideas. Why read philosophy? Because, says John Loeper, all of our most cherished beliefs are born in philosophy. Our government, our religions, our freedoms, our science, and our system of justice all come from philosophy. The daily newspapers are teaming with philosophical speculations: civil rights, the rights of poor and underprivileged, political freedoms, and the environment. Philosophy is an attempt to understand what life means; it is a look for a reason for living; it is a search for reasons for why we live as we do or why we want to change life as we know it. It is an attempt to place ourselves in the world and in the universe and then find out what that world and universe are. Since very early times men have pondered the questions that philosophy raises. Many questions and answers that people talk about today were first discussed long ago. Men Of Ideas is an attempt to show what people over a period of 2,500 years and from many parts of the world have said about ideas that are as important now as they ever were. Loeper has condensed the biographies and thoughts of men like Aristotle, Augustine, Confucius and Kierkegaard into easy-to-read, concise and thought-provoking chapters.

New Atheism, The: Taking a Stand for Science and Reason $11.99 In recent years a number of bestselling books have forcefully argued that belief in God can no longer be defended on rational or empirical grounds, and that the scientific worldview has rendered obsolete the traditional beliefs held by Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. The authors of these books-Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens, and Victor J. Stenger-have come to be known as the “New Atheists.” Predictably, their works have been controversial and attracted a good deal of critical reaction. In this new book, Victor J. Stenger, whose God: The Failed Hypothesis was on the New York Times bestseller list in 2007, reviews and expands upon the principles of New Atheism and answers many of its critics. He demonstrates in detail that naturalism-the view that all of reality is reducible to matter and nothing else-is sufficient to explain everything we observe in the universe, from the most distant galaxies to the inner workings of the brain that result in the phenomenon of mind. Stenger disputes the claim of many critics that the question of whether God exists is beyond the ken of science. On the contrary, he argues that absence of evidence for God is, indeed, evidence of absence when the evidence should be there and is not. Turning from scientific to historical evidence, Stenger then points out the many examples of evil perpetrated in the name of religion. He also notes that the Bible, which is still taken to be divine revelation by millions, fails as a basis for morality and is unable to account for the problem of unnecessary suffering throughout the world. Finally, he discusses the teachings of ancient nontheist sages such as Buddha, Lao Tzu, and Confucius, whose guidelines for coping with the problems of life and death did not depend upon a supernatural metaphysics. Stenger argues that this “way of nature” is far superior to the traditional supernatural monotheisms, which history shows can lead to a host of evils. The

Record of Buddhistic Kingdoms $9.09 This country originally had no human inhabitants, but was occupied only by spirits and nâgas, with which merchants of various countries carried on a trade…. Through the coming and going of merchants… when they went away, the people of their various countries heard how pleasant the land was, and flocked to it in numbers till it became a great nation.-from “Chapter XXXVIII: At Ceylon” Little is known about the 5th-century Chinese monk Fâ-hien beyond what he himself tells us in the journals of his travels in India and Ceylon from the years 399 to 414 in search of the Buddhist Books of Discipline. But as he follows in the footsteps of the Buddha, revisiting the legendary places of the faith, his wise observations reveal an enlightenment that transcends time. An important primary source on the traditions and beliefs of Buddhism, this 1886 translation-complete with copious notes on Buddhist ideas and rituals, particular translations, and poetic idioms-is still considered the best English-language version available. Spiritual seekers will find a deeper understanding of Buddhism; students of Asian history will discover a glorious travelogue of an ancient culture. Scottish scholar JAMES LEGGE (1815-1897) was the first professor of Chinese language and literature at Oxford University, serving from 1876 to 1897. Among his many books are The Life and Teaching of Confucius (1867), The Religions of China (1880), and the 50-volume Sacred Books of the East (1879-1891).
