Integrating the writings of generations of Sufi scholars and historians, it relates the saga of Islamic spirituality through the lives and sayings of some its most prominent exemplars. 'Attār combines popular legend, historical anecdote, ethical maxim, and speculative meditation in lively and thought-provoking biographies. 'Attār's lucid and economical style encourages readers to participate fully in the efforts of these pioneers of the sacred to live out and express their unfolding encounters with the divine. Scholars, shopkeepers, princes, and outcasts―God's friends come from all classes of medieval society and embody the full range of religious attitudes, from piety and awe to love and ecstatic union. This work merges the miraculous and the everyday in one of the most engaging and comprehensive portrayals of spiritual experience in the Islamic tradition. Highlights: This translation makes the major biographies of Memorial of God's Friends available in their entirety for the first time to a general audience in a contemporary American idiom. †  Diné Perspectives: Revitalizing and Reclaiming Navajo Thought By Lloyd Lance Lee; Gregory Cajete 2014 | 216 Pages | ISBN: 0816530920 | PDF | 2 MB What does it mean to be a Navajo (Diné) person today? What does it mean to "respect tradition"? How can a contemporary life be informed by the traditions of the past? These are the kinds of questions addressed by contributors to this unusual and pathbreaking book.All of the contributors are coming to personal terms with a phrase that underpins the matrix of Diné culture:Sa'ah Naagháí Bik'eh Hózhóón.Often referred to simply as SNBH, the phrase can be translated in many ways but is generally understood to mean "one's journey of striving to live a long, harmonious life." The book offers a variety of perspectives of Diné men and women on the Diné cultural paradigm that is embedded in SNBH. Their writings represent embodied knowledge grounded in a way of knowing that connects thought, speech, experience, history, tradition, and land. Some of the contributors are scholars. Some are Diné who are fighting for justice and prosperity for the Navajo Nation. Some are poets and artists. They are united in working to preserve both intellectual and cultural sovereignty for Diné peoples. And their contributions exemplify how Indigenous peoples are creatively applying tools of decolonization and critical research to re-create Indigenous thought and culture in a present day that rarely resembles the days of their ancestors.More than 300,000 people self-identify as Diné today. Every one must grapple with how to make a life that acknowledgesSa'ah Naagháí Bik'eh Hózhóón.DinéPerspectivesis unique in bringing such personal journeys to the public eye. |
