Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Deriving from the Indian Atharvaveda, one of the oldest books of mankind, Hymn to the Earth forms part of the extensive Vedic scriptures of Hinduism. With its great veneration of divinity and the natural world, the richness and beauty of its pictures and the profundity of its thoughts, it co…ntinues to speak to us all these years later through its lively poetic movement. As Hermann Beckh says in the introduction: No doubt we are dealing here with a most precious piece of a most ancient poetic work of humanity Quite possibly, we could call this Hymn to the Earth the oldest modern poetical work, or the most modern piece of ancient poetry. In his extensive editorial commentary, Beckh who translated the ancient text into German in 1934 explains how this document of primordial human civilization, originating well before the Christian age, contains much that is of significance to present times. Indeed, it pre-echoes, in veiled form, the Christ-Mysteries. This inspiring rendering in English by Alan and Maren Stott, which includes the whole of the enchanting Hymn, captures something of the spirit of Hermann Beckhs acclaimed translation. Original translated text from the Indian Atharvaveda with commentary and notes by Hermann Beckh. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: New. Many people who are drawn to Buddhism today are seeking for spiritual knowledge as opposed to simple faith or sectarian belief. Hermann Beckh had a profound personal connection to the Buddhist path and the noble truths it contains, yet he was also dedicated to a radical renewal of Christianity. Assimil…ating the groundbreaking research of Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925), Beckh's comprehension of Buddhism was neither limited to historical documents nor scholarly research in philology. Rather, from his inner meditation and spiritual understanding, he saw the earlier great world religions as waymarks for humanity's evolving consciousness. In the modern world, the apprehension of Christianity needed to be grounded firmly in a universally-valid, inner cognition and experience: `In this light, knowledge becomes life.'Hermann Beckh - Professor of Tibetan Studies and Sanskrit in Berlin, subsequently a founding priest of The Christian Community - first published this mature study in 1925. Having already produced the comprehensive Buddha's Life and Teaching in 1916, Beckh's sweeping perspectives combined with his extensive academic knowledge provided a unique grounding for authoring this work. As he notes, From Buddha to Christ follows a path of development, `both of method and goal'. Thus, studying this book is itself a path of knowledge and potential initiation. Beckh's universal insights remain relevant - and if anything have gained in value - to twenty-first century readers.This edition features an additional essay, `Steiner and Buddha: Neo-Buddhist Spiritual Streams and Anthroposophy' (1931), in which Beckh, for the first and last time, explains his lifelong personal connection to the Buddhist path.`Christianizing the Buddha's impulse at the same time broadens the Christian horizon.' - Hermann Beckh.

Paperback. Condition: New. As a practising Christian priest, Hermann Beckh was profoundly aware that the mystery of substance - its transmutation in the cosmos and the human being - was a mystical fact to be approached with the greatest reverence, requiring at once ever-deepening scholarship and meditation. He viewed chemistry a…s a worthy but materialistic science devoid of spirit, while the fullness of spiritual-physical nature could be approached by what he preferred to call 'chymistry' or 'alchymy', thereby taking in millennia of spiritual tradition. In consequence, Beckh's Alchymy, The Mystery of the Material World is not limited to the conventional workings of Western alchemy, nor to what can be found in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation - although he does unveil hidden riches there. Neither should Beckh be considered only as a learned Professor with impeccable academic qualifications and European-wide recognition. Beckh writes about such topics as 'Isis', 'the Golden Fleece', traditional fairy-stories and Wagner's Parsifal in a way that enables the reader to catch glimpses of the Mystery of Substance; to share the writer's authentic experience of the divine substantia - the living reality - of Christ in the world.Beckh's Alchymy set an entirely new standard, and went on to become his most popular publication. This is the first time that it has been translated into English, along with updated footnotes, making his ideas and insights accessible to a wide readership. In addition, this edition features translations of Beckh's 'The New Jerusalem', where theology could best be expressed in verse; his exemplary essay on 'Snow-white'; observations on 'Allerleirauh', and a substantial excerpt from Gundhild Kacer-Bock's biography of Beckh.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Presenting vivid pictures of Gautama Buddhas life, teaching, suffering, death and subsequent nirvaa, the Mahaparinibbanasutta is one of the principal Buddhist texts. In Hermann Beckhs words, it describes one of the greatest human beings that ever lived, who stood at the threshold of the supe…r-human a teacher and leader of humanity.--- Prof. Beckhs translation of this important sutta achieved a quality and faithfulness that was based on decades of extensive study and meditation. From his academic and spiritual knowledge, Beckh added insightful editorial material, including an introduction, commentary and notes. The English rendering here, by Indologist and long-standing Buddhist practitioner Dr Katrin Binder, is based on both the original Pali and Beckhs German translation. An afterword by Thomas Meyer, informed by Rudolf Steiners research, traces the development of Buddhas individuality in the afterlife.--- Departure of the Perfected One brings to a conclusion the publication of Beckhs great triad of works on the subject of Buddha, including Buddhas Life and Teaching and From Buddha to Christ. Through a contemporary reading, these books open up vast new perspectives on the world of sacred Buddhist scriptures to anyone interested in spiritual development. The classic text of Buddha's transition (death) from earth to Nirvana, edited by Hermann Beckh. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
