Paperback. Zustand: New. Huineng (638-713), author and hero of the Platform Sutra, is often credited with founding the Southern school of Chan Buddhism and its radical doctrine of "sudden enlightenment." However, manuscripts discovered at Dunhuang at the beginning of the twentieth century reveal that the real architect of the Southern school was Huineng's student Shenhui (684-758). An ardent evangelist for his master's teaching and a sharp critic of rival meditation teachers of his day, Shenhui was responsible for Huineng's recognition as the "sixth patriarch," for the promotion and eventual triumph of the sudden teaching, and for a somewhat combative style of Chan discourse that came to be known as "encounter dialogue." Shenhui's historical importance in the rise and success of Chan is beyond dispute, yet until now there has been no complete translation of his corpus into English.This volume brings together John McRae's lifetime of work on the Shenhui corpus, including extensively annotated translations of all five of Shenhui's texts discovered at Dunhuang as well as McRae's seminal studies of Shenhui's life, teachings, and legacy. McRae's research explores the degree to which the received view of the Northern school teachings is a fiction created by Shenhui to score rhetorical points and that Northern and Southern teachings may have been closer to one another than the canonical narrative depicts. McRae explains Shenhui's critical role in shaping what would later emerge as "classical Chan," while remaining skeptical about the glowing image of Shenhui as an effective mentor and inspired revolutionary. This posthumously published book is the fulfillment of McRae's wish to make Shenhui's surviving writings accessible through carefully annotated English translations, allowing readers to form their own opinions.…

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. 1st Edition. As new condition heavy oversized blue cloth boards with gold front cover lettering and decoration and gold spine lettering contained in an as new condition color photographic dust jacket. Includes Foreword by Charles Kuralt; Introduction by Cathy Keating; Acknowledgments; For Further Information; and Web Sites and Permanent 1-800 Numbers. Profusely illustrated with 300 full color photographic plates. "In this book, for the first time, all of the official governors' mansions currently in use in the United States are given a lavish pictorial presentation. Each of these important state buildings has a separate full-color section devoted to it, picturing the house's public and private rooms, its exterior and grounds, and the artworks and furnishings within it. Each governor's mansion has its own story to tell. Some were built by the states expressly as a chief executive's residence. But many others were originally constructed by various figures prominent in state and national affairs, from politicians to captains of industry, and such homes led fascinating lives of their own before being designated as executive mansions. All of them have become important repositories for artworks, furnishings, and other artifacts related to each state's special heritage. Each home provides a unique glimpse into history. The mansions' stories are told in a lively and engaging text that mixes fascinating historical anecdotes with detailed architectural description and gives close attention to the houses' interior decoration, furniture, and memorabilia. This book will be of interest not only to history buffs but also to designers and home decorators. The governors' mansions project has been organized by Cathy Keating, First Lady of the State of Oklahoma, with the assistance of Mike Brake, chief writer for Oklahoma's Governor Frank Keating, and longtime fine-art enthusiast Patti Rosenfeld, all working in cooperation with the chief executive's office of each of the other states. A few months before his death, the late Charles Kuralt, the renowned television reporter and commentator, contributed a foreword to the book, adding his personal viewpoint and recounting a boyhood visit to his home state's mansion." - from the inner front jacket flap.
