Die Didache bedeutet "Die Lehre" - christliche Traditionen erzählen, dass "Die Lehre" nichts anderes ist als die Lehre der Apostel an die frühe Kirche.Die Didache wurde von vielen in der Kirche der ersten Jahrhunderte als grundlegende Kirchenordnung betrachtet. Sie war nicht Teil des neutestamentlichen Kanons, diente aber als wichtiges christliches Handbuch. Die Didache war Jahrhunderte lang verloren. Bis 1873, als eine griechische Handschrift wieder entdeckt wurde. Dieses Werk dient als wichtiges historisches Dokument der frühen Christenheit und bietet Lösungen für praktische kirchliche Fragen, wie man eine Taufe durchführt, wie man beten oder fasten soll, oder gar wie man falsche Propheten erkennt.Diese Übersetzung wurde von Franz Zeller (einem Experten der Kirchengeschichte) aus dem Griechischen in die alltägliche, zeitgenössische Sprache übersetzt und ist so formatiert, dass es leicht zu lesen und zu verstehen ist.

Das illustrierte I-ging
- 295 Seiten

Die Illustrierte I-Ching besteht aus vierundsechzig Hexagrammen und den entsprechenden Begleittexten. Das Hexagram für eine bestimmte Frage wird durch das Werfen von Münzen ermittelt und setzt sich aus einer Kombination von zwei der acht Trigramme zusammen. Jeder, der es verwendet, wird feststellen, dass es eine eigene Persönlichkeit hat. Es übernimmt möglicherweise die Natur des Fragestellers, nimmt jedoch oft überraschende und unberechenbare Standpunkte ein. Manchmal führt es humorvolle und mehrdeutige Gespräche, während es zu anderen Zeiten unermüdlich ein einziges Thema oder Problem behandelt. Es ist ein eigensinniges Buch – man kann es nicht einfach beiseitelegen oder gedankenlos nutzen. Wenn man sich dem I-Ching angemessen nähert, wird man feststellen, dass es einen oft in Verlegenheit bringt oder erschreckt, aber auch häufig zum Lachen anregt. Die Illustrierte I-Ching bietet eine einzigartige Möglichkeit, die Bedeutung dieses klassischen Werkes zu erfassen und unterstützt ein intuitiveres Verständnis der Hexagramme durch chinesische kalligrafische Bilder, die die Stimmung oder Attribute der jeweiligen Situation einfangen.

The world of Japanese geisha culture has long commanded worldwide interest and fascination. A document of this culture, as well as an exercise in erotic tradition, the "pillow book," was first used during Japan's Kamakura period (1192–1333). It then developed into a wider range of boudoir literature. Others became illustrated portfolios, or shunga, traditional Japanese erotic art that recalls great eighteenth-century masters such as Hokusai and Utamaro, as well as today's popular Manga comics. These pillow books were used by courtesans and geishas to aid sexual exploration, and throughout history also became a cultural guide to the world of the geisha, describing training, dress, makeup, and style, both public and private. This book brings the world of the geisha to us in glorious vibrancy through its topics of the history of the geisha tradition, the rigors of the geisha apprenticeship, the significance of the kimono, and the meticulous care of the daily routine and cosmetics; the perfection of skills of ceremony, dance, and music, and the significance of misuage—loss of virginity—and the role of the danna, or patron. Filled with the facts of formal tradition and ritual along with erotic symbolism makes Geisha Secrets a must for aficionados of classic erotica and for anyone else who wishes to preserve the rapidly vanishing world of the geisha.

In the latter days of Ketill, King Harald the Fairhaired rose to power, making it impossible for any folkland king or noble to thrive without his approval. When Ketill learned that Harald intended to treat him like other powerful men—demanding he accept unatoned kinsmen and become a hireling—he convened a meeting with his kinsmen. He began by acknowledging their past dealings with King Harald but emphasized the urgent need to address the impending troubles they faced. Ketill conveyed his certainty of Harald's enmity and concluded that they had two options: flee the land or face slaughter. He expressed his willingness to share the same fate as his kinsmen but hesitated to lead them into such peril, knowing their loyalty to him. Bjorn, Ketill's son, quickly declared his intention to follow the example of noble men and flee the land, believing it better to escape than to remain and be subjected to Harald's tyranny or face death at his hands.

There have been many anthologies of limericks, but this huge collection of 1700 of them is a treasure trove indeed. It contains the richest and juiciest erotic stanzas the editor could cull from the vast body of limericks produced between 1870 and 1952.This collection was first published privately in Paris in 1957 in a limited edition. Very few copies found their way to this country.The limerick is, by definition, a five-line verse with a distinctive metrical structure. There have been clean limericks, of course, but the most popular form is a bawdy rhyme involving the sexes in ribald situations.Once banned from the nation's bookshelves, the limerick has taken advantage of the new moral climate to "come out." This book offers examples from all over the Western world - a limerick for every taste.Included are copious notes and an extensive bibliography.

This is the top secret manual said to be found by accident in 1986 by an employee of Boeing Aircraft. He bought a surplus IBM copier for scrap parts at a government sale and found the manual inside. The manual outlines a plan to control the masses through manipulation of industry, education and politics, and to divert the public's attention from what is really going on. Surprisingly, it is claimed that much of what is outlined has come to pass, and makes interesting reading for those exploring the deeper levels of our social structure and how it may be controlled or influenced. This Book Tree edition includes all of the important charts and diagrams not seen in other versions. It is an exact replica of the original, aside from some minor alterations to correct print quality. Found in this edition only is a new, four-page Introduction. It explains why we may never be certain of the true origin of this document, despite the fact that someone has stepped forward and claimed that they assembled it from multiple sources.

The Epic of Gesar of Ling
Gesar's Magical Birth, Early Years, and Coronation as King
- 680 Seiten
- 24 Lesestunden
The Gesar of Ling epic is the Tibetan equivalent of The Arabian Nights, known for centuries in oral and written forms across Tibet, China, Central Asia, and the eastern Silk Route. King Gesar, the ideal warrior, embodies loyalty and trust as he conquers enemies and protects peace. His miraculous life story serves as an inspiration and spiritual example for the people of Tibet and Central Asia today, with his warrior mask prominently displayed in towns and homes. As a Buddhist teaching story, Gesar's narrative symbolizes the struggle against emotional and psychological challenges like greed and aggression, representing the untamed mind. Genuine warriors, as portrayed in the epic, subjugate negative emotions to prioritize the well-being of others. This work encompasses volumes one through three, detailing Gesar's birth, mischievous childhood, youth in exile, and rivalry with his treacherous uncle. The epic narrates how the enlightened warrior defends Tibet and Buddhism against demon kings through a series of adventures, aided by heroes and magical characters from Tibetan Buddhism and native traditions. Gesar exemplifies the Silk Route ideal of a king, merging the roles of warrior and magician, and his story reflects an enlightened society where meditation, magic, and communal wisdom create a harmonious lifestyle. Filled with magic and adventure, these tales continue to captivate audiences of all ages, with the epic still sung by

Bawdy and exotic, Arabian Nights , features the wily, seductive Scheherazade, who saves her own life by telling tales of magical transformations, genies and wishes, flying carpets and fantastical journeys, terror and passion to entertain and appease the brutal King Shahryar. First introduced into the West in 1704, the stories of The Thousand and One Nights are most familiar to American readers in sanitized children's versions. This modern edition, based on Richard F. Burton's unexpurgated translation, restores the lushness of the original Arabic. Here are the famous adventures of Sinbad, "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves," and "Aladdin and the Magic Lamp." Here too are less familiar stories, such as "Prince Behram and the Princess Al-Datma," a delightful early version of The Taming of the Shrew , and "The Wily Dalilah and her Daughter Zaynab," a hilarious tale about two crafty women who put an entire city of men in their place. Intricate and imaginative, these stories-within-stories told over a thousand and one nights continue to captivate readers as they have for centuries.

And therefore take good heed unto time, how that thou dispendest it: for nothing is more precious than time. In one little time, as little as it is, may heaven be won and lost. A token it is that time is precious: for God, that is given of time, giveth never two times together, but each one after other. And this He doth, for He will not reverse the order or the ordinal course in the cause of His creation. For time is made for man, and not man for time.
