Sacred Scripture

In The Heart Sūtra: Revisiting Its Texts, History, and Meaning, Henry C. H. Shiu investigates the historical origins of the Heart Sūtra, a significant Buddhist scripture. He compares the Sanskrit texts with their Chinese and Tibetan translations to analyse whether the Heart Sūtra might be a Chinese apocryphon, through detailed linguistic examination. To achieve this goal, Shiu thoroughly examines the primary sources from which the scripture was extracted. He emphasises the necessity of reading the Heart Sūtra in the larger context of the Perfection of Wisdom literature, which contains the essence of Mahāyāna Buddhist teaching. In this monograph, Shiu successfully transcends the boundaries between the Chinese, Indian and Tibetan Buddhist traditions and provides a revisionist interpretation of the Heart Sūtra.

From early times, Daoist writers claimed to receive scriptures via revelation from heavenly beings. In numerous cases, these writings were composed over the course of many nights and by different mediums. New revelations were often hastily appended, and the resulting unevenness gave rise to the impression that Daoist texts often appear slapdash and contain contradictions. A Library of Clouds focuses on the rewriting of Daoist scriptures in the Upper Clarity (Shangqing) lineage in fourth- and fifth-century China. Scholarship on Upper Clarity Daoism has been dominated by attempts to uncover “original” or “authentic” texts, which has resulted in the neglect of later scriptures— including the work fully translated and annotated here, the Scripture of the Immaculate Numen, one of the Three Wonders (sanqi) and among the most prized Daoist texts in medieval China. The scripture’s lack of a coherent structure and its different authorial voices have led many to see it not as a unified work but

Proverbs 4:22 from Scripture says, “For they are life to those who find them and health to one’s whole body.” God's way of life is the best medicine.

We pray and hope readers will be brought before God through this book, enter into His flow of life and healing waters, and get better or even be healed of their illnesses. 聖經箴言4:22提到神的話，說：「因為得著祂的，就得了生命，又得了醫全體的良藥。」 神生命之道是最好的藥方，曹力中牧師以聖經經文編寫出〈42帖藥〉，輔以生動的神醫見證與教導。讀者可以每天按三餐服用，像吃藥一樣，讀一處經文，咀嚼、默想、禱告、吃下去！這是屬天醫治與神聖健康之藥方。 期待讀者藉這本書被帶到神的面前，進入祂生命與醫治的水流中，病情好轉甚至得醫痊。

聖樂是天主教的藝術和⽂化偉⼤寶藏。聖樂史令⼈著迷，因為它記載了⼈們維持聖樂尊嚴的⼀些失敗、掙扎和努⼒，即使仍有很多錯誤和陋習。本書是一部有關天主教聖樂簡史的通識材料，譯自音樂學家龐保頤先生（Aurelio Porfiri）的英文作品Forever I Will Sing: A Short History of Catholic Sacred Music。從一世紀到二十一世紀，作者以每個世紀為主軸，獨立成章，讓讀者了解某一時期的聖樂發展，並附有譯名表及外文參考書目。在聖樂發展顯得艱難的今天，本書對想認識天主教聖樂梗概的讀者，是很好的通識材料，並希望能增加讀者對閱讀更多聖樂讀物的興趣。

Tsering Woeser and Wang Lixiong are widely regarded as the most lucid, insightful writers on contemporary Tibet. Their reportage on the economic exploitation, environmental degradation, cultural destruction and political subjugation that plague the increasingly Han Chinese-dominated Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) is as powerful as it is profound, ardent and analytical in equal measure, and not in the least bit ideological. Voices from Tibet assembles essays and reportage in translation that capture many facets of the upheavals wrought by a rising China upon a sacred land and its pious people. With the TAR in a virtual lockdown after the 2008 unrest, this book sheds important light on the simmering frustrations that touched off the unrest and Beijing's relentless control tactics in its wake. The authors also interrogate long-standing assumptions about the Tibetans' political future. Woeser's and Wang's writings represent a rare Chinese view sympathetic to Tibetan causes. Their powe
