Empreintes du tantrisme en Chine et en Asie orientale (Melanges Chinois et Bouddhiques, Volume 32)
Ce volume collectif se propose, a travers ses huit chapitres, de contribuer a delimiter un "domaine tantrique" dans le paysage religieux de la Chine et ses voisins. Si le bouddhisme esoterique est au coeur de son propos, on y aborde aussi des pratiques et des representations qui s'en inspirent en s'en distinguant, qu'elles soient rattachables au taoisme, au shinto ou temoignent d'une presence plus diffuse au sein de la culture populaire d'Asie orientale....
At the Home for the Dying in Calcutta, Mother Teresa often cared for the residents as they approached the end. As she was ministering to one illness-ravaged man, a visitor overheard her whisper a few words to him. "You say a prayer in your religion, and I will say a prayer as I know it," she said. "Together we will say this prayer and it will be something beautiful for God." These gentle words of solace and care provide us with a glimpse of a Mother Teresa often overlooked -- the universal teach...
Religion or Halakha (Supplements to The Journal of Jewish Thought and Philosophy, #1)

On Chinese Body Thinking (Philosophy of History and Culture, #12)
This book uses Western philosophical tradition to make a case for a form of thinking properly associated with ancient China. The book's thesis is that Chinese thinking is concrete rather than formal and abstract, and this is gathered in a variety of ways under the symbol “body thinking”. The root of the metaphor is that the human body has a kind of intelligence in its most basic functions. When hungry the body gets food and eats, when tired it sleeps, when amused it laughs. In free people these...
