Description

Art in Tibet is expression of the religion. It is regarded not as a work of art, but as a vehicle for expressing in a world of form the metaphysical concepts of religion. Most of the art in Tibetan religion or Lamaism is used for worship - the thangkas, images, votive tablets and ritual masks.

There are many things such as metal works, jewelry, charm boxes, musical instruments and other objects which are used for lay purposes, but are decorated with religious symbols. The materials and techniques employed by the monks are described in the Tibetan religious books, the Kanjur, the translated commandments and the Tanjur, the translated explanations.

Tibetan Religious Art, first published in 1952 is a simple book that answers such basic questions concerning Tibetan art, its origins, functions and symbolism. It was published at a time when, Tibetan canons dealing with the treatises on painting and sculpture were still not fully translated After all these years it still retains interest and authority.

Description:

How did a society on the edge of collapse and dominated by wandering bands of armed men give way to a vibrant Buddhist culture, led by yogins and scholars? Ronald M. Davidson explores how the translation and spread of esoteric Buddhist texts dramatically shaped Tibetan society and led to its rise as the center of Buddhist culture throughout Asia, replacing India as the perceived source of religious ideology and tradition. During the Tibetan Renaissance (950-1200 C.E.), monks and yogins translated an enormous number of Indian Buddhist texts. They employed the evolving literature and practices of esoteric Buddhism as the basis to reconstruct Tibetan religious, cultural, and political institutions. Many translators achieved the de facto status of feudal lords and while not always loyal to their Buddhist vows, these figures helped solidify political power in the hands of religious authorities and began a process that led to the Dalai Lama's theocracy. Davidson's vivid portraits of the monks, priests, popular preachers, yogins, and aristocratic clans who changed Tibetan society and culture further enhance his perspectives on the tensions and transformations that characterized medieval Tibet.

DESCRIPTION: 

हिन्दी के जाने-माने व्यंग्यकार शरद जोशी के व्यंग्य जहाँ पाठक के मन को गुदगुदाते हैं वहीं सामाजिक, आर्थिक और राजनीतिक विसंगतियों को दर्शाते हुए करारी चोट भी करते हैं। इतना ही नहीं प्रशासन द्वारा आम लोगों की समस्याओं को हल करने की नाकाम कोशिशों पर कटाक्ष करने से भी नहीं चूकते। ‘तिलस्म’ में लेखक ने इसी चिर-परिचित शैली द्वारा समाज में फैले अंधविश्वासों पर प्रहार किया है। साथ ही रोज़मर्रा के जीवन की छोटी-छोटी किंतु महत्त्वपूर्ण स्थितियों को नई दिशा देते हुए जिस पैनी दृष्टि का परिचय दिया है वह पाठक को सहज ही प्रभावित करती है। 21 मई, 1931 को उज्जैन में जन्मे शरद जोशी का निधन 5 सितंबर, 1991 को मुंबई में हुआ। ‘छोटी सी बात’ और ‘उत्सव’ आदि चर्चित फिल्मों की पटकथा लिखने के अलावा उन्होंने कई टीवी धारावाहिक भी लिखे।

Tilism-e-Hoshruba is an epic narrative of the adventures of the legendary Persian hero Emir Hamza—the protagonist of Hamza Nama—his sons and grandsons. The epic opens with the commander-in-chief of the Islamic army, Hamza, pursuing Laqa, who makes false claims to divinity. Laqa takes refuge in Kohistan, adjacent to the enchanted land of Hoshruba, ruled by the formidable King of Sahirs, Afrasiyab Jadoo. Afrasiyab reveres Laqa and deputes his sahirs or wizards to help him fight Hamza. Hamza’s grandson Asad then sets out to conquer Hoshruba, assisted by the clever trickster Amar, who possesses divine artefacts such as a cloak of invisibility and a magic pouch containing parallel worlds. Aided by powerful allies and beset at every step by magical snares, dangerous enchantments and seductive sorceresses, the Islamic army finally conquers Hoshruba. Tilism-e-Hoshruba has enthralled generations of readers with its chivalrous heroes, breathtakingly beautiful princesses, powerful sahirs, sahiras and demons. This brilliant condensed translation by Shahnaz Aijazuddin sensitively reinterprets the highly Persianized Urdu of the original text into this eminently readable book that retains the essence of the original.
