Миларепа: Маг, убийца, святой / Milarepa (2006)

Author: The Oracle

ENGLISH SUBTITLES Миларепа: Маг, убийца, святой / Milarepa (2006) Страна: Бутан Год: 2006 Режиссер: Нетен Чоклинг Жанр: Драма, Мистика В ролях: Оргьен Тобгьял, Кельсанг Чуки Тедтонг, Джамьянг Лодро, Джамьянг Ньима, Лхакпа Цамчоу Фильм об учителе тибетского буддизма (годы жизни 1052—1135), знаменитом йоге-практике, поэте, авторе многих песен и баллад, до сих пор популярных на Тибете, одном из основателей школы кагью Джецуне Миларепе, который первым (после двенадцати лет медитации) достиг состояния ваджрахары за одну жизнь, не имея заслуг в предыдущих рождениях … Начало, развитие сюжета в фильме, — сам Миларепа говорил об этом эпизоде своей жизни так: “После того, как умер мой отец, наши соседи во главе с дядей и тетей отняли у нас имущество и невыносимо жестоко обращались с нами. Поэтому я отправился изучать черную магию, чтобы отомстить своим врагам за причиненное ими зло, и накопил много плохой кармы, беспощадно им мстя. Но я испытывал глубокое раскаяние в том, что сотворил столько зла — убил посредством магии тридцать пять человек и уничтожил урожай, и жаждал приобщиться к религии”. ……. Миларепа был учителем Гампопы много лет. Перед смертью Миларепы Гампопа спросил о его последних наставлениях. Миларепа ответил: “Что нужно, это больше усилий, а не больше поучений”. ……. Неустанно стремясь к очищению, Искореняйте невежество и накапливайте Заслуги. Поступая так, вы не только увидите, как Любящие Дхарму Божества Придут слушать, но и сами воспримите Внутри себя

This is #6, PART TWO, of a series in which I read correspondence between me and people who have questions, comments, or–more often–misconceptions about asexuality. PART TWO highlights an OKCupid jerk who, in a stark demonstration of opposition to the PART ONE commenter’s view, found it necessary to badger me with a litany of insults and degrading labels based on my claim of asexuality. In a frightening display of abuse, this opinionated sack of meat attempted to use scientific language to repeatedly confront me with how DEFECTIVE and DISEASED and SICK I am, finally winding up with a bunch of support for eugenics designed to weed out mistakes like me from our future. I think people like this guy are living examples of why awareness IS important, as well as serving as examples of people who are indeed forceful and indignant and vicious about confronting us and trying to make us believe it is NOT okay to be asexual. The full text of this conversation is posted on LiveJournal in the asexuality LJ community. You can also have fun reading the comments the other LJers made.

Author: The Oracle

When the nation’s economy foundered in 2008, blame was directed almost universally at Wall Street bankers. But Robert B. Reich, one of our most experienced and trusted voices on public policy, suggests another reason for the meltdown. Our real problem, he argues, lies in the increasing concentration of wealth in the hands of the richest Americans, while stagnant wages and rising costs have forced the middle class to go deep into debt. Reich’s thoughtful and detailed account of where we are headed over the next decades—and how we can fix our economic system—is a practical, humane, and much-needed blueprint for restoring America’s economy and rebuilding our society.

DAVID SCOTT, Criminologist, University of Central Lancashire PROFESSOR JOE SIM, Professor in Criminology, Liverpool John Moores University DR. BOB JOHNSON, Prison Psychiatrist, Special Unit in HMP Parkhurst Prison JOE BLACK, Prison Campaigner, Campaign Against Prison Slavery SYNOPSIS: Punishment: A Failed Social Experiment provides a detailed, critical analysis of the current legal and justice system generally in operation across the planet whilst also providing potential solutions which work on preventing crime and creating a much more socially sustainable society. The documentary film consists of interviews with various individuals; all of whom provide information on where we are going wrong when we treat offenders, and what we could head towards in regards to the solutions available. It must be recognised that in order for change to occur in the system of punishment and ‘justice’, wider societal and cultural issues need to be addressed, as this documentary film recognises that there are inherent flaws in our current social system. Although most sources of information originate from the United Kingdom, it is reasonable to state that the topics examined will apply to many other nations. Punishment: A Failed Social Experiment is an independent film production and will be released online for free download and distribution.

Cervantes’ Don Quixote (SPAN 300) The professor introduces himself and the course. He starts explaining the reasons why Don Quixote is a masterpiece and its place and relevance in the history of Western literature. He then comments on the proper pronunciation of the word “Quixote” and the reasons of mispronunciations in French and English. A full explanation of the real title of the work (El ingenioso hidalgo Don Quixote de la Mancha) follows, along with some key clarifications about the language of the book and few basic notes on historical and cultural background. González Echevarría then moves to the present, commenting on Don Quixote’s heritage in the Western world, proved by the use of words as “quixotic”, and the success of its myth up to nowadays. He finishes his lecture going back to its beginning, referring to the reasons of the endurance of this work, which rely on its deep questioning of the human self. The session ends with an overview of the syllabus. 00:00 – Chapter 1. Don Quixote and its Place in World Literature 10:45 – Chapter 2. Explanation on Pronunciation and Full Title 29:07 – Chapter 3.

第八集什么是公平的起点? 我们该得到什么? 第15讲:《什么是公平的起点?》 John Rawls把他的”无知的面纱”理论运用到社会和经济平等的争论焦点中,以及公平治理的问题。他问,如果每个市民都必须参与税收的再分配问题—在他们不知道最终会成为社会成员中的穷人还是富人的时候-我们大多数人不是更喜欢消除金融风险并同意财富的公平分配么? 第16讲:《我们该得到什么?》 Sandel 教授重述了三种不同的理论,涉及如何在生活中分配收入,财富和机会。他总结了自由主义,精英制度系统和平等主义理论,引起了对当今社会薪酬差别的公正性的讨论。Sandel比较了美国联邦最高法院O’connor大法官(200 000美元)和法官Judy(2500万美元)的工资。Sandel问大家,这是否公平?如果不是,原因何在?Sandel解释了John Rawls的观点-他认为,个人的”成功”往往是和荣誉无关的随机结果:运气,继承的财富,积极的家庭环境。但是,对于付出更多努力和更长时间去获得成功的个体-如何来衡量他她付出的努力呢?
