The golden yoke of Buddhist Tibet was the last medieval legal system still in existence in the middle of the twentieth century This book reconstructs that system as a series of layered narratives from the memories of people who participated in the daily operation of law in the houses and courtyards the offices and courts of Tibet prior to 1959 The practice of law in this unique legal world which lacked most of our familiar sign posts ranged from the fantastic use of oracles in the search for evidence to the more mundane presentation of cases in court Buddhism and law two topics rarely intertwined in Western consciousness are at the center of this work The Tibetan legal system was based on Buddhist philosophy and reflected Buddhist thought in legal practice and decision making For Tibetans law is a cosmology a kaleidoscopic patterning of relations which is constantly changing recycling and reforming even as it integrates the universe and the individual into a timeless mandalic whole The Golden Yoke causes us to rethink American legal culture It argues that in the United States legal matters are segregated into a separate space with rigidly defined categories The legal cosmology of Buddhist Tibet brings into question both this autonomous framework and most of the presumptions we have about the very nature of law from precedent and res judicata to rule formation and closure

Cosmology and Buddhist Thought is the result of a conversation with astrophysicist and television celebrity Dr Neil deGrasse Tyson that took place in New York at the end of May 2011 While cosmologists look at the outer space with massive instruments and difficult calculations using mathematics Buddhists look at inner space with mindfulness and concentration Both paths lead to insights about fundamental questions about why and how we got here what we are doing here what are our connections and interactions with the universe and what is our destiny Cosmologists study life on earth from an objective point of view and examine its causes Buddhists study life on earth with regard to understanding its challenges and how to resolve them Both Buddhism and cosmology recognize that we live in an emerging evolving and impermanent universe everything is changing Dr Tysons insights into the origins of life on earth time scales ecology and religion are inspiring to say the least and extremely wise to read and contemplate His responsiveness to Buddhist ideas of codependent arising interbeing interconnectedness impermanence the self nirvana and consciousness demonstrates much more than a Readers Digest knowledge of Buddhism A close reading of the conversation reveals that Buddhist thought does not have much to contribute to cosmology Cosmology on the other hand has a lot to contribute to Buddhism Excerpts from Cosmology and Buddhist Thought recently appeared on the Lions Roar Blog

The question of origins remains a stumbling block for many But just as the Psalmist gained insight into Gods character through the observation of nature modern scientific study can deepen and enrich our vision of the Creator and our place in his creation In this often contentious field Bishop Funck Lewis Moshier and Walton serve as our able guides Based on over two decades of teaching origins together in the classroom the authors present a textbook exploring mainstream scientific theories of origins in astronomy cosmology chemistry geology biology physical anthropology and genetics While many authors engage origins from a Christian perspective this is the first work offering a fullfledged discussion of the scientific narrative of origins from the Big Bang through humankind from biblical and theological perspectives accessible to a lay audience Topics include Principles of biblical interpretationClose readings of relevant Genesis textsA comprehensive Trinitarian doctrine of creationCosmic originsThe geologic history of EarthThe origin of life on EarthThe origin of species and diversity of lifeHuman originsNew creation and creation careScience education Rather than the familiar scenario where science and faith compete this book seeks to diffuse tensions by taking the inspiration and authority of the Bible seriously while respecting and honoring Gods revelation through creation Understanding Scientific Theories of Origins gives the reader a detailed picture of the sciences of origins along with how they fit into the story of Gods creative and redemptive action
