Jan 13, Jessica Zu rated it it was amazing Shelves: The part about Masculinity in Pali Canon is top-notch. Spiritual purity has to be embodied in physical beauty--a trope often overlooked by today's Western Readers.
Nevertheless, the chapters about early Mahayana and Tibetan Buddhism are too brief to do any justice to both traditions. Each one deserves an independent book-length study. Hopefully, Powers will continue the project he sets out to achieve but only dabbled with in this book.
Jun 04, Eric Villalobos rated it really liked it Shelves: Excellent book, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Powers pointed out concepts that I had not known and further nuanced my understanding of even standard narratives like the birth narrative of the Buddha.
Jul 27, Jordan Benjamin rated it really liked it. This book kind of just awoken things I had come across reading the Pali canon but didn't tell me anything revelatory. Nevertheless still a very well written piece and well worth a read for those uninitiated. Mar 16, Shell rated it really liked it. Danelle Garrison rated it really liked it Dec 28, Feb 03, Maggie rated it it was ok.
Mainly focused on Indian Buddhism and iconography.

Pamplona bull run 'selfie man' sought by police
Carrying any device to record video or take pictures is prohibited during the running, because it distracts the runner from trying to stay out of harm's way, and doing anything that endangers others is considered a serious offense, according to the city's new rules.
On Spanish state television's official video of the running, the selfie man is seen toward the end of the meter, or half-mile, course holding a recording device that looks like a phone, high in his right hand. This is just before the bulls enter the bullring on a downhill slope, and the pace is fast. The man appears on the video at one minute and 56 seconds after the run began, on the right of the street, with the bulls a few steps behind. Expert on surviving bull runs gets gored. He dashes across the street in the middle of oncoming runners -- somehow not colliding with any of them - and he's off camera by Police have not yet found this man, who was wearing a traditional red long-sleeve top and white pants.

The most dangerous day of the running turned out to be the last, on Monday. A brown bull became separated from the pack on a well-known curve, not quite halfway in to the course, and caused havoc. There were just five injuries by goring in the previous seven days, but on the final day, there were three more gorings.
These included the two Australian men, with the year-old listed in serious condition with three separate goring wounds, and the year-old receiving a goring to his right thigh; and a year-old Spanish man who was also gored three times.
