Near the heart of the world's great religions stand saints -- transcendently holy men and women whose "otherness" serves as an example of God's grace to ordinary believers everywhere. As miracle workers, healers, and teachers, saints are the most tangible manifestation of God's loving power. They are deeply mysterious as well, for they are both wholly human and have privileged contact with the divine. SAINTS: THE CHOSEN FEW gathers together the stories of these holy individuals, from all faiths and from around the world: Islam's mystical Sufis; the saints of Christianity, who range from the mystically powerful to the practically helpful; the humble, holy beggars of India; the humanitarian bodhisattvas of Buddhism; the scholars, righteous men, and Hasidim of Judaism. Along with all these spiritual guides are included two living saints, the Dalai Lama and the Hindu avatar, Sathya Sai Baba. And for those intrigued by the power of the saints, there is a guide to specific saints and the miracles they will perform for the faithful. Lavishly illustrated, here is a glorious, multicultural tribute to the God-filled men and women who keep the flame of faith alive among us. Like the saints themselves, SAINTS: THE CHOSEN FEW reminds us that life is wider, deeper, and more mysterious than it often appears in the light of our small, everyday struggles.

In zen teaching a koan is an eternal truth expressed through a conundrum, such as: what is the sound of one hand clapping? when the zen student comes to his master for instruction, he is given first a koan to fathom and to sweep away the clouds of unknowing, allowing enlightenment to occur. Recorded and handed down from master to master, monastery to monastery, the koans in this selection are organized in order of ascending difficulty, and accompanied by brief explanations. The book is one of a three-volume series which also includes "haiku: the poetry of zen" and "sayings: the wisdom of zen".

400 years ago Nostradamus predicted the influence of women s power during the final years of the 20th century -- in both the family & the Church, in politics as well as industry. The authors reveal a series of dramatic new challenges & successes for women as they enter the new millennium. His verses can be interpreted to indicate a vision of feminist revolution during the latter years of the 20th century. This book shows that women have hardly begun to make an impact on our patriarchal society, but this will shortly change, as the increasing presence of women in positions of power begin to effect major changes in the balance of world events.
