Rage and Ravage by Bernard Faure Pdf

Written by one of the leading scholars of Japanese religion, Rage and Ravage is the third installment of a milestone project in our understanding of the mythico-ritual system of esoteric Buddhism—specifically the nature and roles of deities in the religious world of medieval Japan and beyond. Bernard Faure introduces readers to medieval Japanese religiosity and shows the centrality of the gods in religious discourse and ritual; in doing so he moves away from the usual textual, historical, and sociological approaches that constitute the “method” of current religious studies. Throughout, he engages theoretical insights drawn from structuralism, post-structuralism, and Actor-Network Theory to retrieve the “implicit pantheon” (as opposed to the “explicit orthodox pantheon”) of esoteric Japanese Buddhism (Mikkyō). In volumes one and two, The Fluid Pantheon and Protectors and Predators, Faure argued against a polarity or dichotomy between buddhas and kami by emphasizing the existence of deities that did not belong to either category, and he rejected the retrospective notion of “hybridity.” The present work makes a similar case about the reified distinction between gods and demons to show that, due to the fluid nature of the Japanese pantheon, these terms do not represent stable identities: Gods can become demons, and demons are sometimes deified. Divine protectors were often former predators, and in some instances they retained their predatory features even after being converted. After emphasizing the demonic aspects of devas as “gods or spirits of obstacles” in the earlier volumes, Faure now focuses on the deva-like or “divine” aspects of deities that have been described as “demonic.” Rage and Ravage and its companion volumes persuade readers that the gods constituted a central part of medieval Japanese religion and that the latter cannot be reduced to a simplistic confrontation, parallelism, or complementarity between some monolithic teachings known as “Buddhism” and “Shinto.” Once these reductionist labels and categories are discarded, a new and fascinating religious landscape begins to unfold.

The widespread turmoil in the human community today is a symptom of the dominance of unchecked desire, or Greed.

Ravages of Greed by R. W. Doyen Pdf

Conrad Shore became lost in the enormity and horrors of a war he never understood. He had put his life on the line for his country and his comrades more times than he could count, and his selfless acts of bravery had earned him a great deal of respect. Now, home after two tours of duty-he's lost. The ribbons and medals he earned are painful reminders of a place and time he'd sooner forget. That was a different time, and he is now a different man. After the war, he left his wife, Hannah, and their infant daughter, Dana, behind. For years, he's wandered the country in search of a stability he can't accurately define. Drawn back to rejoin the family he never stopped loving, Conrad must now face the many wounds to body and soul his warrior past burned into him. With Hannah's help, he hopes he can start a new life. He's always been good with his hands, so he starts a thriving construction business. But even that dream slips through his calloused hands, as the economy crushes his prospects. Conrad fights for optimism and a reason to keep fighting for his future. It is during this dark time that he crosses paths with Manuel Estrada, a greed-driven killer who would stop at nothing to keep what he feels belongs to him. The unremitting greed of these two different men generates a caustic and unrelenting war that threatens to destroy all within its path.

The Ravages of Time by Pat McDonald Pdf

When a baby left by her nanny outside the local village co-op store is snatched from its pram, the only potential witness is Mary Mundy, an ex-mental patient discharged from the old asylum. Mary has spent her entire life institutionalised after being admitted for a pregnancy when she was a young girl and is now living in the community in warden-aided accommodation. Is it a chance abduction? The baby is Phoebe Devonshire, the long-awaited only child of Bernard Devonshire, a wealthy building developer, suspected by many of shady practices. He seems more concerned that Chief Inspector Mike Harvey’s investigation into his daughter’s disappearance is more of an intrusion into his own life than a necessity to find his child. That Bernard has a violent temper is witnessed by his attack on his wife, one intercepted by Detective Sergeant Brendon Flannery, who has zero tolerance for violence against women. Bernard Devonshire may have unscrupulous business contacts, but he also has friends in high places, and is determined to cause as much trouble for Flannery as he possibly can; although reporting his wife and nanny missing soon backfires, turning the whole investigation into a murder hunt, with some surprising results.
