Oxfam bookshop bloomsbury street the lankavatara sutra draws upon the concepts and doctrines of yogacara and buddha-naturein the sutra, the buddha asserts that all the objects of the world, and the names and forms of experience, are merely manifestations of the mind: on the contrary my teaching is based upon the recognition that the objective world, like a vision, is a manifestation of the mind itself; it teaches the cessation of ignorance, desire, deed and causality; it teaches the cessation of suffering that arises from the discrimination of the triple worldas to the first; he must recognise and be fully convinced that this triple world is nothing but a complex manifestation of one's mental activities; that it is devoid of selfness and its belongings; that there are no strivings, no comings, no goingsas to the third; he must recognise and patiently accept the fact that his own mind and personality is also mind-constructed, that it is empty of substance, unborn see oxfam website for delivery information read morehe must recognise and accept the fact that this triple world is manifested and imagined as real only under the influence of habit-energy that has been accumulated since the beginningless past by reason of memory, false-imagination, false-reasoning, and attachments to the multiplicities of objects and reactions in close relationship and in conformity to ideas of body-property-and-abodebecause the world is seen as being "mind-only" or "consciousness-only", all phenomena are void, empty of self (atman) and illusory: there are four things by the fulfilling of which an earnest disciple may gain self-realisation of noble wisdom and become a bodhisattva-mahasattva: first, he must have a clear understanding that all things are only manifestations of the mind itself; second, he must discard the notion of birth, abiding and disappearance; third, he must clearly understand the egolessness of both things and personsthe most important doctrine issuing from the lankavatara sutra is that of the primacy of consciousness (sktas to the second; he must recognise and be convinced that all things are to be regarded as forms seen in a vision and a dream, empty of substance, un-born and without self-nature; that all things exist only by reason of a complicated network of causationvijñana) and the teaching of consciousness as the only reality

The culmination of some twenty years of thinking, writing and wondering about (and within) time, it is a bold, original and thought-provoking workthinking about it is to meditate on our own mortalitythe first part of the book, "killing time" is a formidable critique of the spatialized and mathematized account of time arising from physical sciencepart 2, "human time" examines tensed time, the reality of time as it is lived: what we mean by "now", how we make sense of past and future events, and the idea of eternityquestions about "the stuff" of time  such as instants and intervals  about time and change, and the relationship between objective and subjective time, open on to wider discussions about time and causation, the irruption of subjectivity and intentionality into a material universe, and the relationship between time and freedomin of time and lamentation, raymond tallis rises to this challenge and explores the nature and meaning of time and how best to understand itsee oxfam website for delivery information read more£ time's mysteries seem to resist comprehension and what remains, once the familiar metaphors are stripped away, can stretch even the most profound philosopherwith characteristic fearlessness, tallis seeks to reclaim time from the jaws of physicsyet, physics has little or nothing to say about this time, the time as it is livedvery good condition, apparently unreadthose, like tallis himself, who seek to find a place at which the scientific and humanistic views of humanity can be reconciled, will celebrate his placing of human consciousness at the heart of time, and his showing that we are "more than cogs in the universal clock, forced to collaborate with the very progress that pushes us towards our own midnight"our temporal lives deserve a richer attention than is afforded by the equations of mathematical physicsthe passage of time, the direction of time and time travel are critically examined and the relationship between mathematics and reality, and the nature of the observer, are exploredoxfam bookshop stratford upon avon of time and lamentation by raymond tallis agenda publishing pp hardbackfor anyone who has puzzled over the nature of becoming, wondered whether time is inseparable from change, whether time is punctuate or continuous, or even whether time, itself, is real, of time and lamentation will provoke and entertainfor most of us, time is composed of mornings, afternoons and evenings and expressed in hurry, hope, longing, waiting, enduring, planning, joyful expectation and griefwith the scientistic reduction of time set aside and lived time reaffirmed, tallis digs deeper into the nature of time itself in the final part, "finding time"the story told by caesium clocks, quantum theory and lorentz coordinates, tallis argues, needs to be supplemented by one of moss on rocks, tears on faces and the long narratives of our human journey
