  • 'Catastrophe of This New Chinese Mission': the Amherst Embassy To
    1 The ‘catastrophe of this new Chinese mission’: the Amherst Embassy to China of 1816. PETER J. KITSON Amherst’s Embassy and Early Nineteenth-Century Sino-British Relations Two hundred years ago in the early hours of the morning 29 August 1816 (Jiaqing 21), William Pitt, Lord Amherst, unrested after travelling overnight, was unceremoniously manhandled in an attempt to usher him physically with his two deputies, George Thomas Staunton and Henry Ellis, into the presence of the Jiaqing Emperor at the Summer Palace of Yuanming Yuan. Exhausted, dirty after a very uncomfortable overnight journey and separated from his diplomatic credentials and ambassadorial robes, Amherst and his two deputies resisted, leaving the palace in anger. It was reported to the emperor that Amherst’s inability to attend the audience was occasioned by an indisposition, as was that of his deputies. The emperor, when discovering the diplomatic nature of this evasion, immediately and perhaps impulsively, dismissed the embassy without granting it an imperial audience and rejected its ‘tribute’ of gifts. Amherst’s party then began their long, overland journey south to Canton (Guangzhou) where the group embarked for home. British accounts, of which they were several, laid this ostensible ‘failure’ of the embassy to secure an imperial audience not on the Jiaqing Emperor, but on the scheming of certain senior court officials who had unwisely assured him that Amherst had practiced and was prepared to perform the ceremony of the full imperial koutou (or ketou both Mandarin) or ‘kowtow’ (anglicised) with three kneelings accompanied by three knockings of the forehead for each prostration.

  • The Meaning of Prostrations
    The Mea ning of Prostrations - by Lama Gendyn Rinpoche Why do we do Prostrations? 1.The Purification of Pride First of all, we should know why we do prostrations. We do not do them to endear ourselves to somebody else. We do not do them for the Buddha. Such concepts are completely wrong. The Buddha is not a god of this world. We bow down to purify all situations from the past where we did not respect others. Being interested in our own satisfaction and ourselves we did many negative actions. Prostrations help us realize that there is something more meaningful than ourselves. In this way we purify the pride that we have accumulated through countless lifetimes thinking: "I am right," "I am better than others," or "I am the most important one." During countless lifetimes we have developed pride that is the cause of our actions and have accumulated the karma that is a source of our suffering and problems. The goal of prostrations is to purify this karma and to change our mind set. Prostrations help us rely on something more meaningful than our pride and ego clinging. In this way, through full confidence and devotion, we get rid of everything we have gathered because of pride. 2.The Purification of Body, Speech, and Mind When we do prostrations we act on the level of body, speech, and mind. The result of doing them is a very powerful and thorough purification. This practice dissolves all impurities, regardless of their kind, because they were all accumulated through our body, speech, and mind.

  • Physiotherapy and Prayer (Salah) Information Leaflet for Muslim Patients
    Taking care of your health Physiotherapy and Prayer (Salah) Information leaflet for Muslim Patients “Pray unto me and I will hear your prayer” (Holy Qur’an 40:60) Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust As well as the spiritual benefits of prayer (Salah) it has been widely recognised that the process of praying promotes many physical and psychological benefits. Each position involves the movement of different parts of the human body in ways that encourage health and wellbeing. Islam and Physiotherapy It is a religious obligation to take care of our health. Our bodies and minds are in trust from Allah (God) and this means responsibilities for each of us ourselves. After faith, health and wellbeing are understood to be the greatest blessings to have been given to people and as such they are accountable to Allah. Physiotherapy aims to improve people’s daily life through rehabilitation. Physical rehabilitation involves doing a regular, gentle stretch and strengthen movement programme. This is very important and helps to decrease the stiffness in joints and muscles. It also increases the strength of the muscles, in order to improve physical fitness. This is necessary to be able to return to activities such as, cooking, housework, prayers (Salah) and work. What if I can’t pray in these positions due to my pain? Islam allows flexibility in the positions of prayer during illness. As Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) said, “Pray while standing and if you can’t, pray while sitting and if you cannot do even that, then pray lying on your side”.

  • Greetings by Arabs and Americans
    國立交通大學 英語教學研究所碩士論文 A Master Thesis Presented to Institute of TESOL, National Chiao Tung University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts 阿拉伯人與美國人問候用語之探討 “Hello” or “Salaam?” Greetings by Arabs and Americans 研究生：美麗克 Graduate: Malak Ismail Kirdasi 指導教授：鄭維容 Advisor: Dr. Stephanie W. Cheng July, 2013 Abstract Greetings are often people's first impressions of one another; therefore, learning how to greet someone appropriately is important in making a good first impression and avoiding pragmatic failures. Many studies have been conducted on the speech act of greetings, and greetings in different cultures. However, very few numbers have been examined the relationship between the contextual variables (e.g., gender and social distance) and greeting strategies. Moreover, while previous researches have been done on Arabs greeting strategies or Americans greetings strategies, no previous study put Arabs and Americans greetings in comparison. This study aims to compare between greeting strategies used by Arabs and Americans in terms of oral speech and body language. In addition, some contextual variables, such as gender, social distance, and situations have been put into test in order to examine to what extent these variables could influence the use of greeting strategies. Three different data collection methods have been used in the purpose of achieving the goals of the study. The first one was the natural observation of some occasions and gatherings, where people naturally tend to use greeting strategies. The second data collection method was using the DCT questionnaire, which included 6 situations with different variables. A total of 60 participants of both Arabs and Americans group took part in the questionnaire.

  • Tibetan Salutations and a Few Thoughts Suggested by Them
    110 TIBETAN SALUTATIONS. TIBETAN SALUTATIONS AND A FEW THOUGHTS SUGGESTED BY THEM. (Read on 28th January 1914.) Presidenl-Lt.-Col. K. R. KIRTlKAR, LM.S. (Retd.). Salutations are of two kind8. 1. Oral or by spoken words, and 2. Gestural, or by certain movements of some parts of the body. Out of these two heads, the Tibeta:n salutations, of which I propose to speak a little to-day, fall under the second head, viz., Gestural salutations. Colonel Waddell thus speaks of the Tibetan mode of saluta­ tion. "The different modes of salutation Different travel· lers on the modes were curiously varied amongst the several of salutation. Col. nationalities. ,The Tibetan doffs his cap WaddeU. with his right hand and making a bow pushes forward his left ear and puts out his tongue, which seems to me to be an excellent example of the' self surrender of the person saluting to the individual he salutes,' which Herbert Spencer has shown to lie at the bottom of many of our modern practices of salutations. The pushing forward of the left ear evidently recalls the old Chinese practice of cutting off the left ears of prisoners of war, and presenting them to the victorious chief." 1 Mons. L. De Milloue thus refers to the Tibetan mode of salutation: (I translate from his French.) M. L. De Milloue. "Politeness is one of the virtues of the Tibetan. He salutes by taking off his cap as in Europe and remains bareheaded before every person whom he respects; but by a strange usage, when he wishes to be particularly amiable and polite, he completes his salutation by two gestures which appear at least strange to us: he draws the tongue rounding it a little and scratches his ears.
