The first edict was a senmyō, inscribed in the Shoku Nihongi in Old Japanese; the second was a choku in Chinese. A miraculous omen, the apparition of a silkworm cocoon with a message woven into its surface, was interpreted as the occasion for a change in the calendrical era name, or nengō. This article argues that the imperial edicts express a coherent ideology combining ideas from a cultic matrix in which may be discerned proto-Shinto, Buddhist, and Confucian elements.<br /><br />http://nirc.nanzan-u.ac.jp/publications/jjrs/pdf/846.pdfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3941071145333831148.post-39423264740195053822010-12-30T05:33:23.126+01:002010-12-30T05:33:23.126+01:00Why does everything have to turn out to be Christi...Why does everything have to turn out to be Christian?<br /><br />Especially when two thirds of the worlds human population are not Christians. Nor are the billions of other heart-sensitive sentient beings in/on this mostly non-human world.<br /><br />And how/why after 1700 years on church created horror, could any sane and culturally literate human being even begin to pretend that Christian-ism can or will provide anything but more of the same horrors.<br /><br />By culturally literate I mean someone who is thoroughly familiar with the Great Tradition of humankind altogether, and who has thus transcended their inherited religious and cultural provincialism.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3941071145333831148.post-55468734969101247452010-10-06T15:11:54.145+02:002010-10-06T15:11:54.145+02:00Have to read the book but given the deep relations...Have to read the book but given the deep relationship between money and religion today, I expect nothing but a new twist on the grand scam: If you are right with God, you won't be needy.

People living in the 21st century but their attitude has no difference from people living in the classical and medieval periods when they met they fought and killed. The winners became the rulers and the depeated became the subjects to the rulers. When will this kind of attitude undergo change for the better one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3941071145333831148.post-25152277435911266102010-07-14T14:28:50.148+02:002010-07-14T14:28:50.148+02:00good knowledgeable sharing about politics.good knowledgeable sharing about politics.Benazir Bhuttohttp://www.bhuttobenazir.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3941071145333831148.post-63750263050917234472010-06-21T17:15:39.027+02:002010-06-21T17:15:39.027+02:00As the author, I am very pleased and privileged to...As the author, I am very pleased and privileged to see attention paid to my book.

His insights are profound and are born of reflection on ignored voices such as Helmut Gollwitzer and F-W. Marquardt. Having studied with Chung in the past I wholeheartedly agree with Padgett's view that one leaves Chung with new, provocative questions.
