The Prince and the Monk addresses the historical development of the political and religious myths surrounding Shōtoku Taishi and their influence on Shinran, the founder of the Jōdo-Shinshū school of Pure Land Buddhism. Shōtoku Taishi (574–622) was a prince who led the campaign to unify Japan, wrote the imperial constitution, and promoted Buddhism as a religion of peace and prosperity. Shinran's Buddhism developed centuries later during the Kamakura period, which began in the late twelfth century. Kenneth Doo Young Lee discusses Shinran's liturgical text, his dream of Shōtoku's manifestation as Kannon (the world-saving Bodhisattva of Compassion), and other relevant events during his life. In addition, this book shows that Shinran's Buddhism was consistent with honji suijaku culture—the synthesis of the Shinto and Buddhist pantheons—prevalent during the Kamakura period.

Athiyaman, a hardened warrior, fearsome to his enemies and magnanimous to those he favoured. Kumanan, a king so benevolent that he was even willing to sacrifice his own life for another. The poet Pisiraandaiyar, who stood by his royal friend Kopperuncholan even in the worst of times. And Avvaiyar, a venerable woman poet, respected by rulers and subjects alike. This colourful and powerful cast of characters comes together in The Prince Who Became a Monk and Other Stories from Tamil Literature. Selected and translated by Sahitya Akademi award-winner M.L. Thangappa, the stories in this volume were originally poems written by famed Tamil poets belonging to a time when kings and poets equalled each other in authority and respect, and when valour and talent were considered the greatest virtues. These tales celebrate family, friendships and bonds that survive the tests of distance and time, bringing to the fore historical figures who depict faith, humility and kindness. Through delicately woven imagery and subtly imparted wisdom, this collection of more than 35 stories brings alive an era of glory, and the poets who immortalized it in their words.

The Quantum Monk chronicles the remarkable journey of Dr Richard Austin, a distinguished nanoscientist, on a quest to discover the ultimate cure sought by humanity: the immortality of the body. While spearheading research in this field, Austin develops an acute fear of death. Unable to overcome this fear, he immerses himself deeply in his work and seeks alternative solutions. Amid his struggles, he encounters Buddhism and learns that even Prince Siddhartha, who became Lord Buddha, also grappled with and conquered the fear of death, ultimately attaining nirvana. Intrigued by this ideology, he embarks on a transformative expedition to India to explore the potential for immortality. As he delves into Buddha’s spiritual odyssey, experiencing it vividly, he undergoes a profound spiritual awakening. Presenting the story of Buddha and his timeless teachings in a novel way, this book provides a unique perspective on life and existence, inviting us to pursue our own path of self-discovery. All in all, this captivating narrative offers readers a compelling exploration of humanity’s eternal search for meaning and fulfilment.
