The Art of Aikido

The Art of Aikido: Principles and Essential Techniques
Aikido is a modern Budo founded by Morihei Ueshiba after he had mastered many traditional Japanese martial
arts and engaged in profound spiritual training. Morihei maintained, "In true Budo, there is no enemy. True Budo
is the function of love. A martial art solely concerned with winning and losing is not true Budo. Victory is to
thoroughly rid the mind of contention and conflict within ourselves."
This book was composed by Kisshomaru Ueshiba, Morihei’s son and successor as the Second Aikido Doshu (the person
who embodies the spirit of Aikido as inherited from the founder and is its living symbol). Morihei himself taught
Aikido in archaic, esoteric language, and limited his instruction to a select few. In order to introduce Aikido to
the rest of the world, his son simplified its philosophy and arranged the techniques so that it would be possible
for any serious trainee to practice this martial art. Aikido is now practiced in eighty-five foreign countries—a
testament to Kisshomaru's achievement. The Aikido ideal of "refining one’s mind and body to foster a spirit of
harmony" has obviously struck a common chord among the peoples of the world.
This book is a compilation of Kisshomaru’s writings on Aikido. It will provide the reader with deep insight into
both the spiritual and technical dimensions of Aikido, and explain its central features—ki energy, breathing
methods, posture, among others. The book is detailed with many dynamic photos, depicting the author, and his son
Moriteru (present Doshu, and the author of The Aikido Master Course), carrying out the techniques. It is a work
that all Aikido practitioners, from beginner to master, will want to acquire.

Eight Simple Qigong Exercises for Health

Although thin, this book contained more information than I expected. It talks about what is qi and what is qigong
(including its history), it tells the life story of this set's creator - Marshall Yue Fei, and enumerates the main
qigong purposes (i.e for healing, maintaing health, prolonging life, martial arts and enlightenment). The two main
categories are explained: Wai Dan (External Elixir) and Nei Dan (Internal Elixir). In Taoist terminology, the book
talks about the three treasures: Jing (essence), Qi (energy) and Shen (spirit), which can be nurtured through
Qigong training. In order to succeed, one needs to regulate the body, mind, breath, Qi and spirit - only then the
benefits which one can reap from training will be reaped.
With HMOs, insurance headaches, premiums driven up by the 65 percent of Americans who are overweight, increasing
daily stress, we all could use a magic elixir for energy and increased quality of life. Who better to provide it
than the Chinese, inventors of tai chi chuan, green tea as a curative, and acupuncture?
Qigong, as alternative health expert Dr. Wang Jwing-Ming explains, functions like tai chi chuan or yoga as a way
of maintaining longevity, youth, energy and health. Dr. Yang explains that most practitioners of qigong seek
enlightenment, awareness and health through wai dan (physical tai chi type qigong) or nei dan (meditation).
Once you have read the half of the book devoted to the nature of qigong, like most Westerners, you're itching to
get started. Dr. Yang stresses that qigong is not about fancy moves, but about careful attention. The exercises,
like weight or strength training, require several repetitions. The qigong exercises may seem slow. However, for
those who are sick and tired of being sick and tired, patience will pay off when you choose to set aside 10-20
minutes a day. The accompanying videotape purports to be another great investment in your health. Dr. Yang
skillfully shows us the path to wellness.

Buddhist Rituals Death And Rebirth

Description : In Buddhist thought and practice, death has always been a central concept. This book provides a
careful and thorough analysis of the rituals and social customs surrounding death in the Theravada tradition of
Sri Lanka. Rita Langer describes the rituals of death and rebirth and investigates their ancient origins,
analyzing social issues of the relationship between monks and lay people in this context.
This aspect is of particular interest as death rituals are the only life cycle ritual in which Theravada Buddhist
monks are actively involved. Drawing on early Vedic sutras and Pali texts as well as archaeological and
epigraphical material, Buddhist Rituals of Death and Rebirth establishes that Sri Lankan rituals are deeply
rooted in their pre-Buddhist, Vedic precursors. Whilst beliefs and doctrines have undergone considerable changes
over the centuries, it becomes evident that the underlying practices have largely remained stable. The first
comprehensive study of death rituals in Theravada Buddhist practice, this is an important contribution to the
fields of Buddhist studies, indology, anthropology and religious studies.
