  • “A Flurry of Fascination” the (Anti)Plagiarism Cases of Stephen Ambrose and Doris Kearns Goodwin
    1 “A Flurry of Fascination” The (Anti)Plagiarism Cases of Stephen Ambrose and Doris Kearns Goodwin IN THE FIRST week of January 2002, a crime was committed. For some, the crime had actually taken place many months, even years, before the New York Times published the first of many reports on the topic. For others, the offense came later as scattered details coalesced and the several participants (perpetra- tors and victims alike) stated positions for the record. And yet, for many the crime never happened at all, but rather those accused had been falsely charged by an envious, resentful few. In the end, it would not be clear as to who did what, when, where, to whom, and why. Nevertheless, something did happen in early 2002, and the goal of this retelling is to consider how the many players involved managed to articulate both the nature of the crime and its relevance to education, scholarship, and American culture at large. These players would include a handful of state uni- versities, several college professors and students, one major publishing house, a slew of journalists, a few concerned citizens, three spokespersons, a staff of re- search assistants, and a series of experts prepared to wax eloquent on topics ranging from the proper use of punctuation marks to the diabolical repercus- sions of selling one’s soul. The issues at stake would be biggies: integrity, truth, honesty, discipline, courage, tradition. New and old technologies—computers, word-processing software, and the Internet, but also plain old paper, pencil, and handwriting—would factor in as evidence, and even accessories to the crime.

  • Buddhism in America
    Buddhism in America The Columbia Contemporary American Religion Series Columbia Contemporary American Religion Series The United States is the birthplace of religious pluralism, and the spiritual landscape of contemporary America is as varied and complex as that of any country in the world. The books in this new series, written by leading scholars for students and general readers alike, fall into two categories: some of these well-crafted, thought-provoking portraits of the country’s major religious groups describe and explain particular religious practices and rituals, beliefs, and major challenges facing a given community today. Others explore current themes and topics in American religion that cut across denominational lines. The texts are supplemented with care- fully selected photographs and artwork, annotated bibliographies, con- cise profiles of important individuals, and chronologies of major events. — Roman Catholicism in America Islam in America .

  • Teaching Letters of Zen Master Seung Sahn • Page 274 © 2008 Kwan Um School of Zen •
    201 The following kong-an is number nine from the Blue Cliff Records: When you have a clear mirror, the beautiful and the ugly reveal themselves. When you hold the legendary sword, you can kill or grant life, as the moment dictates. Chinese come, foreigners go: foreigners come, Chinese go. In death there is already life: in life there is already death. Now tell me, what can you do? Unless your eye can penetrate all barriers and your body is free to make any turn, you can’t do a thing. But what is this eye that can penetrate all barriers? What is this body that is free to make any turn? Read this kong-an and see: A monk asked Jo-ju, “What is Jo-ju?” Jo Ju answered, “ East Gate, West Gate, South Gate, North Gate.” Strange language. We usually think that when a man dies he is dead, and when he lives he is alive. But in this language, life is death, death is life. Where does life come from? Where does death go? Life and death are only thinking. You must go beyond life and death. That is infinite life. It is “like this.” “Like this” is Jo-Ju’s original face. Mountains are mountains, rivers are rivers: yellow is yellow, red is red. Jo-Ju’s teacher, Nam Chan, said that everyday mind is the Way. Everyday mind is the mind that cuts off all thinking. It is the same as a mirror: when the beautiful comes, it is beautiful: When the ugly comes, it is ugly.

  • Religious Studies: Buddhism
    GCE A LEVEL RELIGIOUS STUDIES: BUDDHISM SCHEME OF LEARNING The principal aim of the Scheme of Learning is to support teachers in the delivery of the new specification. It is not intended as a comprehensive reference, but as support for professional teachers to develop stimulating and exciting courses tailored to the needs and skills of their own students in their particular centres. In addition, this document must not be used instead of the specification, but must be used to support the delivery of it. It offers assistance to teachers with regard to possible classroom activities, links to digital resources (both our own, freely available, digital materials and some from external sources), text books and other resources, to provide ideas when planning interesting, topical and engaging lessons. The intention of this scheme of work is that learners will participate in some independent learning tasks prior to attendance at the lesson. In this way, learners should arrive at the lesson with questions concerning areas that they do not understand, and there is more time for analysis and evaluation of the material within the lesson time. For those who do not wish to take this approach, the activity suggestions should still be flexible enough to be adapted. 1 Buddhism Theme 1: Religious figures and sacred texts (part 2) 1A.

The war in Iraq may be over, but it continues in Afghanistan and for those families whose loved ones are still gone, life during deployment is challenging, especially in Alaska, an assignment the military considers as demanding as an overseas post. For the men and women whose spouses serve in the U.S. Army, deployment is not just an abstract word heard on the evening news. It's real, it’s tough and it turns their world upside down. Military wives find themselves in a unique sisterhood. The tightest of bonds are formed over fears of deployment, realities of Army life and the emotional roller coaster of homecomings – all set against the backdrop of the rugged, demanding and extreme conditions of Alaska. (P) Sunday, November 18 (10-11 p.m. ET/PT) Episode: The Hooters Comment Was Offensive While the Brigade Commander’s wife Yolanda tries to promote sisterhood among the battalion wives, Traci and Lindsey battle over Army wife etiquette, and Sara’s housewarming takes a troubling turn after the women hear news of a communications blackout down range.

All enquiries to [email protected]. espite the considerable appeal of Buddhism among the French and the massive settlement of Zen and Tibetan traditions in France since Dthe late 1960s, very little French scholarly research has been done in France on Buddhism in the West. This fact is surprising when we consider the pioneering works of Henri de Lubac (1952), which initiated historical- textual methodology in the study of the Westward spread of Buddhism. However, with the exception of publications by Buddhist sympathizers or supporters and sporadic visits of journalists to French Buddhists groups, schol- ars showed little interest in the spread of Buddhism in France between the 1950s and the 1990s. In the early 1990s, a new generation of researchers emerged who skillfully combined historical-textual investigation with fieldwork. Never- theless, few books on Buddhism in France were available in the late 1990s.1 The two volumes published by Frédéric Lenoir (his doctoral thesis in sociol- ogy) are offered to remedy the ÒpenuryÓ of French scholarly surveys.

  • Oprah Winfrey: De New Age Hogepriesteres
    Oprah Winfrey: de New Age Hogepriesteres W.O.L, Update 11-5-2010 (1ste pub. juli 2008) Het volgende komt uit het nieuwe 500 pagina’s tellende boek The New Age Tower of Babel, ver- krijgbaar bij Way of Life Literature. (Ook verkrijgbaar in een 9delige DVD reeks) Alle Schriftaanhalingen komen uit de Statenvertaling (1977 of HSV) Vertaling en voetnoten door M.V. Weinig dingen illustreren de dramatische toename van de New Age invloed zo sterk als Oprah Winfrey. De bijzonder succesvolle televisie talkshow host, actrice, producer, activiste en zakenvrouw, Oprah Winfrey (geb. in 1954) wordt genoemd: “a really hip and materialistic Mother Teresa”, “a symbolic figurehead of spirituality”, “a moral monitor”, “America’s pastor”, “today’s Billy Graham” (USA Today, May 10, 2006). Haar televisieshow is de hoogst genoteerde en langstlopende televisietalkshow in de Verenigde Sta- ten. Hij loopt sinds 8 september 1986, met meer dan 3.000 episodes (“The Oprah Winfrey Show”, Wikipedia). Haar show heeft 49 miljoen kijkers in 122 landen en praktisch elk boek dat zij aanbe- veelt bereikt de toprang van de verkoopscijfers. Haar O magazine bereikt 3 miljoen lezers. Ze ont- vangt 10.000 brieven en 4.000 emails per week. Haar website wordt 1,3 miljoen keer per dag be- zocht. Een Gallop poll onderzoek stelt haar op nr. 4 van de allerbelangrijkste vrouwen in de ge- schiedenis. Winfrey is een van de meest invloedrijke promotoren van New Age thema’s in de wereld van van- daag, en wat we goed moeten noteren is dat zij tegelijk haar christelijke erfgoed niet geheel ver- werpt.
