This is the second in Shar rDza Rinpoche’s trilogy on Bon Great Completion meditation. It is a collection of eleven very advancedmostly by-passing Great Completion practices representing the best intensive practices from the cave and hermitage yogi tradition. Book 1 is a very extensive commentary on the A Khrid Bon Great Completion practice of the Bru rGyal ba tradition. Books 2 and 3 are very detailed practice manuals for developing the levels of by-passing visions in the daytime initially through sky gazing and sun gazing (book 2) and also during a 49-day intensive dark retreat. Books 4, 5, and 6 constitute a trilogy of books on advanced self-arising/self-liberated practice. Book 4 is a practice manual for illusory body practices, wherein the practitioner learns to take all appearances of the path as insubstantial and illusory. Book 5 is a very detailed manual for cultivating awakened awareness continuously during dream and deep sleep states. Book 6 is a very detailed practice manual to be used by the dying yogi to recognize correctly the clear-light of death during the dying process, and the visions during the after-death bardo of the dharmadhatu and the bardo of rebirth. These teachings also include detailed instructions on the advanced practitioner transferring consciousness into a dead body, reviving the dead body, and continuing practicing and teaching. Book 7 contains very precious pith instructions on how to recognize and develop the three-fold embodiment of enlightenment, the five primordial wisdoms, and the inexhaustible enlightened activities of the Buddha. Book 8 contains very detailed instructions on standard inner fire practice using the central channel and chakra system and practicing the four ascending and four descending levels of bliss. Inner fire practice in general enhances the separation of the brightness of awakened awareness from the residual dregs on the ordinary mind, and in particular purifies the residual substantial of the physical body into light. Book 9 contains a detailed description of 40 advanced yogic exercises designed for advanced retreatants to keep the body fit, resist illness, and extract the full measure of benefit from other practices such as A Khrid and Inner Fire. A film was made detailed each of the 40 yogic exercises, and is available only to qualified advanced practitioners. Book 10 is a detailed practice manual on inner fire practice done in synchrony with a sexual consort. The main differences between solo and consort inner fire practice is that only consort practice leads to "great bliss" via reversing the directions of the normally upwardly moving wind and the downward moving winds until they collide and the dispersing the wind evenly throughout the 84,000 minor channels and pores of the body. Book 11 is on advanced yogic fasting. There are nine types of fasting practices depending on capacity. Best practitioners learn to extract vital essence directly from the universe so they and reduce or stop food intake. Middling capacity practitioners reduce normal food intake by using super-foods and energy capacitating substances, Lesser capacity practitioners reduce normal food intake by visualizing dakinis extracting vital essence from the universe and then enhancing normal foods with vital essence such that the volume of normal food intake is reduced.

Plays Three


Free Download Conor McPherson, "Plays: Three"
English | 2013 | pages: 240 | ISBN: 1848422091 | EPUB | 0,6 mb
This volume of Conor McPherson’s collected plays, covering a decade of writing, celebrates a fascination with the uncanny which has led him to be described as ‘quite possibly the finest playwright of his generation’ ( New York Times ). In Shining City , a man seeks help from a counsellor, claiming to have seen the ghost of his dead wife. The play, premiered at the Royal Court, London, is ‘up there with The Weir, moving, compassionate, ingenious and absolutely gripping’ ( Daily Telegraph ) The Seafarer , premiered at the National Theatre before going on to become a Tony Award-winning Broadway hit, tells the story of an extended Christmas Eve card game, but one played for the highest stakes possible. ‘McPherson proves yet again he is both a born yarn-spinner and an acute analyst of the melancholy Irish manhood’ ( Guardian ) Set in ‘the big house’ in 1820s rural Ireland, The Veil is McPherson’s first period play. Seventeen-year-old Hannah is to be married off in order to settle the debts of the crumbling estate. But when Reverend Berkeley arrives, determined to orchestrate a séance, chaos is unleased. ‘A cracking fireside tale of haunting and decay’ ( The Times ) The Birds , hauntingly adapted from the short story by Daphne du Maurier, is ‘deliciously chilling, claustrophobic, questioning, frightening; and with a twist’ (Irish Independent). It is published here for the first time, as is The Dance of Death , a new version of Strindberg’s classic, which premiered at the Trafalgar Studios in London. ‘A spectacularly bleak yet curiously bracing drama that often makes you laugh out loud’ ( Daily Telegraph ) Completing the volume is a Foreword by the author.

Three Schenkerian-Based Studies Chamber Works by Mendelssohn, Schumann, and Brahms


Free Download David Beach, "Three Schenkerian-Based Studies: Chamber Works by Mendelssohn, Schumann, and Brahms"
English | ISBN: 3487162504 | 2022 | 108 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Three Schenkerian-Based Studies is an in-depth examination of three giants of the 19th-century chamber music literature: Mendelssohn’s Sixth String Quartet in F Minor, op. 80, written in 1847 in response to the death of his sister, Fanny Hensel; Schumann’s ground-breaking Piano Quintet in E-flat, op. 44, written in 1842; and Brahms’s dynamic Piano Quintet in F Minor, op. 34, of 1862. This volume is unique in at least two respects: first, it presents the only complete study of these three important works; and second, it contains detailed Schenkerian graphs of all twelve movements, which should be of considerable value to all those interested in Schenker’s ideas and their application. In addition, the consideration of voice-leading structure is, in all cases, preceded by a thorough discussion of aspects of formal design, and, where appropriate, observations on narrative/programmatic matters. This volume is directed at all serious musicians interested in these works, especially the extended music theory community.
