El Arte de la paz

Equilibrio, en lugar de conflicto, en El Arte de la Guerra de Sun-Tzu

Esta cuidada adaptación de "El arte de la guerra" presenta una perspectiva nueva (y absolutamente fiel al original) de este texto clásico de Sun-Tzu que cuenta con más de dos mil años de antigüedad. Dada la peculiar posibilidad de los dobles sentidos de la escritura china, "El arte de la guerra" podría haberse titulado también (y debiera haber sido) "El arte de la paz", ya que los conceptos de "guerra" y "paz" pueden coexistir en la escritura china en un único pictograma. Ésta es la tesis del autor, que no se deriva únicamente el idioma, sino también del Tao y de las artes marciales chinas y tibetanas. Su interpretación, absolutamente fresca y novedosa, sobrepasa la lógica textual de las muchas traducciones de "El arte de la guerra", al enfatizar lo que el autor considera que es la verdadera clave del texto original: el equilibrio en lugar del conflicto. De este modo, "El arte de la paz" presenta una nueva forma de encarar los conflictos; es un punto de partida en el viaje del descubrimiento de uno mismo que debe conducir, en último término, a ampliar nuestra consciencia y a una sociedad más pacífica y equilibrada. PHILIP DUNN recibió una educación inglesa tradicional hasta su adolescencia, que pasó en un monasterio budista tibetano. Inmerso en un modo de vida monástico, se educó en las artes del Chou-lyn bajo la atenta tutela de un maestro tibetano. A su vuelta a Europa, prosiguió su formación con un maestro chino en Londres, hasta convertirse él mismo en profesor. Pasó también varios años en India, donde conoció a los mayores maestros espirituales de nuestro tiempo. Esta vida de aprendizaje y comprensión de lo que él denomina "naturaleza enmascarada" aparece destilada en esta interpretación absolutamente original en "El arte de la guerra". Philip Dunn es autor de cuarenta libros y ha editado más de quinientos sobre diversos temas de ámbito espiritual. Ha impartido numerosas conferencias en Estados Unidos y en el Reino Unido sobre los principios de "El arte de la paz".

A Near-field Scanning Optical Microscope

Construction and Operation

This thesis discusses the design and construction of a Near-field Scanning Optical Microscope (NSOM). Basic principles of operation, the characteristics of the hardware components, and the control software are discussed. A unique method of controlling the position of the probe is developed, and scans of a diffraction grating are presented. We show the influence that the surface topology and reflectivity and the interference of direct and reflected light have on the images. A second design of the instrument, for use in a vacuum chamber and with a flexure stage for lateral motion, is accomplished.

A. J. Appasamy and His Reading of RāMāNuja

A Comparative Study in Divine Embodiment

In this work, Brian Philip Dunn focuses on the South Indian theologian A. J. Appaswamy's "embodiment theology." This is the first book on Appaswamy, a not insignificant Indian, Christian theologian. This study argues for the distinctive theological voice of Appaswamy who develops a theology strongly influenced by the medieval Hindu theologian (or "bhakti philosopher") Ramanuja, in particular offering a reading of the Gospel of John. Dunn shows how Appaswamy sees the Christian God in Ramanuja's theology and how his theology, particularly about the presence of God in the icon in a temple, can become a heuristic device through which to understand the fourth Gospel in the context of its own time. This allows the reader to develop a rooted Christology that otherwise would remain hidden. Through Ramanuja, Appaswamy can contribute to a constructive and important Theology that grounds the text and ideas of the incarnation in the Jewish context, particularly about priestly atonement. This reading of Ramanuja allows us to see a Christology in the Christian text that would otherwise not have been seen.

This study focuses on the embodiment theology of the South Indian theologian A.J. Appasamy (1891-1975).

Be a Light Unto Yourself

Discovering and Accepting Who You Are from the Words of the Buddha

Gautama Buddha was the founder of what we know as Buddhism, a spiritual tradition that is recognized throughout the world as one of compassion, peace, and understanding. Like his final words, Gautama Buddhas teachings were often simple phrases that carried profound thoughts and implications. When the words of the Buddha were gathered together, a special collection was madeThe Dhammapada or The Way of Truth. Be A Light Unto Yourself relates the story of Gautama Buddha and the spiritual revolution he began. It is a collection of teachings that relate strongest to the power and depth of the statement Be a light unto yourself. This book teaches you to know yourself and to always look within yourself for guidance and to trust your own senses. Among the teachings youll find: Your life is determined by the nature of mind. . . . A silent mind creates a peaceful life. Happiness will follow this mind like an ever-present shadow. Not in the sky, not in the deepness of the sea, not in the rocky clefts of the mountains is there a spot in the world where you can hide from yourself. If you can govern your anger like a charioteer his chariot, you are a real driver; otherwise you simply hold the reins.
