The term 'strategy' has different connotations in the course of its generation transformed into a due implementation. The subject of how such a transformation can be made effectively and how much it depends on sociocultural factors and mechanisms by which it works is discussed within the scope of the second book of my trilogy dedicated to the problem of canonical structures and their deciphering.

As a canon, the "Dao-De Jing" is a symbolic work and its symbols transcend its context. When this is properly understood, all 81 sections of it divided into nine divisions and two halves have universal application. Any attempt to translate them with no account taken of the numerological and symbolical systems means to remove them entirely from canonical context and narrow the field of application.

By this, I invite every curious reader to make a fascinating voyage together, entering into the realm of imagery and revealing a conceptual understanding of the transiency called image thinking. To override a poetic thought is to adjust mentality while to get an image means to express the matter in full. And the reader of this can do it oneself because everyone is one s own master of poetry.
span style="font-size: 12pt;">Image thinking is a phenomenon when a concrete image intimates an abstract notion or viewpoint to express. In the sense, the term ‘image’ supposes the figurative imagery and its explanation, as well as an imaginative significance and its associations. To explain the image we use language while the idea of it reflects its abstract thought. As is well-known, language is an instrument of thinking, imagery makes a thought content. However, language is unable to express the idea or thought content directly; for this, it resorts to concrete imagery | |  | | Monks, Beasts & Dreams on Heavenly Terrace
This book pages form the record of events that really happened in the Tang period China in the 8th century at Guoqing Temple secluded on Mount Tiantai. For this no extra charge has been made with the exception of joyful insight into the background of the four figures: three eccentric persons and the forth, the unnamed tigress, a creature on the back of which Chan monk Feng Gan usually rode.

Han Shan and Shi De are two inseparable characters in the history of Chan Buddhism, forming one of the most favourite subjects of Oriental fine arts: Shi De is often pictured with a broom, and Han Shan with a scroll to represent two of many paths to Enlightenment honest labour and scriptural studies. Their poems became famous Chan quotations to be a compulsory reading for Chan practitioners.

To introduce the reader to the world of Zen, there is no alternative but to resort to the use of language, the best alternative of which is poetry--the most precise form of speech. This ebook is comprised of 108 examples of the Zen way of realization, while the number 108 is considered sacredly special because of its place in many religions, connected martial arts, yoga and dharma based practices.
span style="font-size: medium;">As a sinologist, I have been asked many questions by people wanting to know time and again what Zen ('Chan' in Chinese) actually is. The problem is that it is not an easy task to describe this term. It is something that cannot be talked about nor expressed in written words. The moment language is used, we are no longer dealing with the true spirit of Zen, which is beyond all words. However, Zen cannot be left unexpressed.

This is a new translation of Yang Xiong's oracle composed at the turn of millenniums for diviners in practice rather than idle intellectuals. Relying on the earliest commentary, this enriched with ninety charts and illustrations book is an invitation to master the ritual of divination as a tool of sages, by means of which the reader will be able to disclose one's mind on the way of self-discovery.

The vibration of number 50 supplies natural pleasures and needs to watch over-indulgence and impulsiveness. The impulsive nature of this divining number allows us to enter a situation and be then able to discard it smoothly, without hard aftereffects. Its energy does not hold onto anything that creates monotony in life; it is the sign of progress and growth, for without change there is stagnation.

The number 50 is an auspicious number with importance in both everyday life and higher mathematics. People celebrate milestone 50th birthdays and 50th anniversaries with more pomp than they do other year markers. Half of a century is 50 and is a denomination of coins and paper money in most of the countries. When people write best-of of worst-of lists, they often try to select an even 50 items.

"The Foundling" is a story that everyone can learn from. While the majority of us will never set out on a path like the hermits did, being able to read of their experiences and descriptions of the places that they have been and the hardships that they have endured let the reader learn about their life lessons as an arm-chair traveler. You can spend a short moment reading one poem of four lines and a lifetime trying to truly understand it. Their verses of simple construction are amazingly managed to capture something so unfathomable. No, not to capture but illustrate. And they are illustrated in the fullest by fluently running Chinese brush paintings and calligraphy to underline Zen essence that comes through silently but clear.

From the beginning of time the ancients multiplied everything by three and took this number very seriously as a code of dynamic evolution and qualitative leap from one grade to another.
