A fable on finding success and inner peace

Science and technology have brought us forward into a grand new world with greater opportunities than ever before. But our attitudes and feelings have not evolved equally. The solution is to look from another perspective. Through this, we are moved to new emotions and behaviours.

So what would be the reactions of an intelligent visitor from another planet to our complex systems here on Earth? How would we view that visitor’s culture? Are we ready to accept an objective view?

Out of this World is the encounter and exchange between a citizen of Earth and Uranus. Peaceful, open, life-loving people who seek to enhance the well-being of all, the two innocuously observe our society and through that, reveal our realities.

This book is a classic parable that bares humankind’s limitless possibilities as it seamlessly slips you into the role of an observer and invites you to look within.

In this noble mission the author has greatly succeeded.

Introduction

The Mahayana and The Hinayana Buddhism
The terms "Mahayana" and "Hinayana" may sound unfamiliar to most of our readers, perhaps even to those who have devoted some time to the study of Buddhism. They have hitherto been induced to believe that there is but one form of Buddhism, and that there exists no such distinction as Mahayanism and Hinayanism. But, as a matter of fact, there are diverse schools in Buddhism just as in other religious systems. It is said that, within a few hundred years after the demise of Buddha, there were more than twenty different schools, all claiming to be the orthodox teaching of their master. These, however, seem to have vanished into insignificance one after another, when there arose a new school quite different in its general constitution from its predecessors, but far more important in its significance as a religious movement. This new school or rather system made itself so prominent in the mean time as to stand distinctly alone from all the other schools, which later became a class by itself. Essentially, it taught everything that was considered to be Buddhistic, but it was very comprehensive in its principle and method and scope. And, by reason of this, Buddhism was now split into two great systems, Mahayanism and Hinayanism, the latter indiscriminately including all the minor schools which preceded Mahayanism in their formal establishment.

Broadly speaking, the difference between Mahayanism and Hinayanism is this: Mahayanism is more liberal and progressive, but in many respects too metaphysical and full of speculative thoughts that frequently reach a dazzling eminence: Hinayanism, on the other hand, is somewhat conservative and may be considered in many points to be a rationalistic ethical system simply.

Mahayana literally means "great vehicle" and Hinayana "small or inferior vehicle," that is, of salvation. This distinction is recognized only by the followers of Mahayanism, because it was by them that the unwelcome title of Hinayanism was given to their rival brethren, - thinking that they were more progressive and had a more assimilating energy than the latter. The adherents of Hinayanism, as a matter of course, refused to sanction the Mahayanist doctrine as the genuine teaching of Buddha, and insisted that there could not be any other Buddhism than their own, to them naturally the Mahayana system was a sort of heresy.

Geographically, the progressive school of Buddhism found its supporters in Nepal, Tibet, China, Corea, and Japan, while the conservative school established itself in Ceylong, Siam and Burma. Hence the Mahayana and the Hinayana are also known respectively Northern and Southern Buddhism.

En passant, let me remark that this distinction, however, is not quite correct, for we have some schools in China and Japan, whose equivalent or counterpart cannot be found in the so called Northern Buddhism, that is, Buddhism flourishing in Northern India. For instance, we do not have in Nepal or in Tibet anything like the Sukhavati sects of Japan or China. Of course, the general essential ideas of the Sukhavati philosophy are found in the sutra literature as well as in the writings of such authors as Acvaghosa, Asanga, and Nagarjuna. But those ideas were not developed and made into a new sect as they were in the East. Therefore, it may be more proper to divide Buddhism into three, instead of two, geographical sections: Southern, Northern, and Eastern.

DESCRIPTION: 

Oxygen Manifesto is a story of the triumph of ordinary people over the might of the establishment in their battle to save the environment.Thatha lives in a remote and inaccessible part of Manipur and Ravi is a young IAS officer from the Tamil Nadu cadre. Circumstances bring them together and they create the most effective environmental movement the world has ever seen. They shun the politics of criticism and personal attacks and focus on establishing a new polity based on the principles of environmental protection, habitat conservation, direct civil action and democratic decentralization.Oxygen Manifesto is an engaging story about environmental degradation and the impact of the Anthropocene. It exposes the myth around wealth creation and the paradigm of economic growth. It also plants a development narrative that is environment-centric—an idea which is considered fringe in today’s times, but is bound to emerge as a mainstream thought in the future.The story also has an undercurrent of minimalism and veganism, as opposed to consumerism and wasteful consumption. A novel concept of taxing goods and services based on their carbon and water footprint has also been introduced by the writer. This is a must-read for anyone who cares about the future of human civilization

DESCRIPTION:

As the ship ‘Doly’ docks into the yard at Nukuheva Port, two of its sailors decide to run away from its atrocities. They are scared to travel back on the worn out ship on a life-long voyage. Instead, they want to enjoy life with the tribal people there. Initially, when the two had joined the ship, they were shown many red and juicy carrots. But, over the period, they realized that the officers aboard would often break almost every rule. The treatment given to the lower ranks was hideous. Exploitation had become the first rule of conduct for the high-ranking officers. As the voyage continued for a very long period, everyone was anxious to see the land. While traveling towards the Markisus islanders, two of its sailors Tomo-the author and his friend Tobo decide to run away. As they dropped the anchor at Nukuhewa, the captain permitted them to stroll around the port. They saw a golden opportunity to fulfil their plan. To stay away from the ship, they start running. They cannot afford to halt at any place. Initially, they enter the Taipi region. All they have with them are a few loaves and biscuits. They survive the hardships but after travelling thus for a week or so, the Taipi detain them. For four months they remain with the Taipi. How did they survive during this period is worth reading.
