Passive Tranquillity by Vernon Hyde Minor Pdf

This is a print on demand publication. Born in 1698, Della Valle came to Rome in 1725 upon the death of his master, Giovanni Foggini. There he remained until his death in 1768. The phrase "passive tranquillity" refers both to the style of Della Valle's sculpture & the ambiance of 18th-cent. Rome, &, further, serves to distinguish Della Valle from his better known precursors, Gianlorenzo Bernini & Michelangelo. Theirs was a sculpture of the heroic & expressive. Della Valle's sculpture represents figures of an introverted, serene type. In its demonstrations of the ways in which Della Valle's art could have been formed by the institutions & cultural currents of 18th-cent. Rome, the text seeks to account for that sense of quiescence & composure common to the arts of settecento Rome. Illustrations.

Tranquillity & Insight by Amadeo Solé-Leris Pdf

This is the eBook of the BPE edition of Tranquillity & Insight. The pragmatic nature of the Buddha's teaching makes it perennially relevant to all times, and perhaps especially useful for coping with the difficulties of the present age. Leaving aside metaphysical and theological considerations, the Buddha's teaching focuses on what each person can do here and now to overcome the roots of suffering. The heart of this teaching is meditation, which aims at two goals: the calming down of the restless mind and the arousing of insight into the true nature of existence. The present widely acclaimed book explains the methods of Buddhist meditation in a concise yet complete account according to the oldest Buddhist tradition, that based on the Pali Canon. The aim of the book is essentially practical. While providing all the information necessary to proper understanding, the stress is on the need for practice and personal commitment. This work will both instruct the beginner and inspire the experienced meditator. "An excellent reference book ... Will appeal to beginners and non-beginners alike, and will meet the need for a more readable publication in this complex field of spiritual activity." -Buddhist Studies Review

Cosmos of Tranquillity by Dipanjan Bhattacharjee Pdf

Preface Dear readers, I take this opportunity to thank you all for selecting this book. This is my first book and I have tried with utter honesty to deliver what my heart holds and what my soul feels. I have been into poetry since my age old school days. My little fingers started learning ways to express various elements of trivial and vital concerns through a spontaneous arrangement of words and in no time I found myself swimming amid the sea of words and thoughts. Imaginations and thoughts are among those splendid abilities of human mind to take us to different lands across the globe and even beyond. Being a poet and an author, I often find myself held among those vibes of chaos and tranquillity. Through each of these poems, I have tried to cover a wider spectrum of arenas across the mortal and immortal world. Cosmos of Tranquillity will give you an insight into the nature, mundane whereabouts of human beings, mysteries, horror, romance and fiction and many such heart winning and mind boggling genres. The thoughts and meanings that hold the soul of each poem and the arrangement of words that adorn those thoughts will make you feel the flavour and fragrance and will take you to the journeys that often remained unexplored. I have tried my best to connect bead by bead my thoughts to give them a form that can talk to you and feel your pain and happiness. Your valuable feedbacks are always an asset to me. Your love, support and blessings are all I need. The creation of a creator finds its meaning only when it gains appreciation. My joy and success lies only in the smile that I can draw on your lips and the satisfaction that I can impregnate in your thirsty soul. The ability to trigger an intense desire to read, the thirst to explore and the happiness to accompany you throughout your solitary moments of life will announce my success as a poet and an author. With a heart filled with love and soul filled with gratitude, I wish you all a happy life ahead.

Death, before whose majestic tranquillity so many shudder with fear, has no terrors by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky Pdf

The book of Futurity, which has been wisely closed to every mortal eye, now opens its pages to many sons of the earth. Among the workings of the inner life within us, which we may experience but cannot explain, are there any more remarkable than those mysterious moral influences constantly exercised either for attraction or repulsion, by one human being over another? Modern astronomy profits by the works of ancient astrology, and kicks it out of sight. During the dissolution of the Etheric Double the darkness of our ignorance beginning to be dispelled, there are many things we can see. It is through the throbs of dissolution that horizons of vaster and profounder knowledge are drawn on, bursting upon our mental vision and becoming with every hour plainer to our inner eye. The nearer some people approach death, the brighter becomes their long lost memory, and the more correct the previsions because the unfoldment of inner faculties increases as life-blood becomes more stagnant. Modern science and spiritualism are two opposite poles. Life and death are as much of a mystery to the man of science, as they are to the spiritualist and the profane unbeliever. Materialistic scientists keep unweaving the rainbow. Unconscious necromancers reject every other philosophy save their own. Death, before whose majestic tranquillity so many shudder with fear, has no terrors. And yet people make too much fuss over death, and too little over the birth of every new candidate for it.
