Summary

In The Hungarian Gentleman Farmer, Baroness Orczy turns her eye once more to the countryside of her beloved homeland, this time exploring the life and traditions of the landed gentry. Through vivid description and personal insight, she captures the rhythms of rural estates, the responsibilities of noble landowners, and the delicate balance between privilege and duty in Hungarian society. Rich with cultural detail, the book highlights the elegance and struggles of a class that stood between aristocracy and peasantry, preserving tradition while facing the pressures of modernity. Part memoir, part social study, it is both an affectionate portrait and a valuable historical record of Hungary at the dawn of the 20th century.

    Discover how to responsibly defend religious freedom for all without compromising your personal beliefs. 
Religious freedom is a bitterly contested issue that spills over into political, public, and online spheres. It's an issue that's becoming ever more heated, and neither of the global political polarities is interested in protecting it. While the political left is openly hostile toward traditional religion, the political right seeks to weaponize it. 
How can we ensure that "religious freedom" is truly about freedom of one's religion rather than serving an ethno-nationalist agenda? 
In Religious Freedom in a Secular Age, Michael Bird (New Testament scholar and author of Evangelical Theology) has four main goals:To explain the true nature of secularism and help us to see it as one of the best ways of promoting liberty and mutual respect in a multifaith world.To dismantle the arguments for limiting religious freedom.To outline a biblical strategy for maintaining a Christian witness in a post-Christian society.To encourage Christians to participate in a new age of apologetics by being prepared to defend not only their own believes but also the freedom of all faiths. 
While Bird does address the recent political administrations in the US, his focus is global. Bird—who lives in Melbourne, Australia—freely admits to his anxiety of the militant secularism surrounding him, but he also strongly critiques the marriage of national and religious identities that has gained ground in countries like Hungary and Poland. 
The fact is that religion has a lot to contribute to the common good. Religious Freedom in a Secular Age will challenge readers of all backgrounds and beliefs not only to make room for peaceable difference, but also to find common ground on the values of justice, mercy, and equality.

    The Meme Humanoids - Modern...

    In 2012, an incredible phenomenon began to occur. Internet users, in earnest, began reporting frightening encounters with emaciated, pale, hairless humanoids that, for the most part, crawled on all fours. Internet users attempted to equate these entities with characters of Native American mythology, oblivious to the fact that the humanoids in these encounters bore a resemblance to the fictional Rake. Many witnesses suggested that they were "Skinwalkers," medicine men or witches of traditional Navajo lore who possess the ability to transform into animals. Others proposed that these emaciated humanoids were manifestations of the "Wendigo," a malevolent cannibalistic spirit of Cree and Algonquin legend. Others still began to invent new names for these creatures, such as "Fleshgaits" and "Crawlers," the latter evoking the 2005 movie entities that likely helped to inspire the Rake originally. 
 
 
 
The humanoid encounters and sightings that are detailed in this book over varied glimpses into the phenomenon. Ask yourself—are these humanoids actual corporeal beings that are manifested by the human mind and perceivable by others? Or are we witnessing the nexus of an unknown and monstrous species of humanoid?

    [How to Recognize Toxic Marriages] pierces through the subtle, insidious nature of marital toxicity with haunting precision and lyrical insight. Like a masterful cartographer mapping unexplored territory, this intimate examination charts the invisible boundaries that slowly constrict within toxic relationships - from the initial silence that settles like dust between two people, to the gradual erosion of self-worth that occurs so slowly you barely notice it happening. Written with unflinching honesty and profound psychological depth, the book illuminates the quiet ways love transforms into a weapon, how shared spaces become battlegrounds, and the sophisticated machinery of control that operates just beneath the surface of everyday interactions. Through its careful dissection of the language of distance, the manipulation of reality, and the weaponization of intimacy, this work serves as both a warning signal and a validation for those caught in the bewildering maze of toxic marriages, offering a vocabulary for experiences that often defy articulation.

    This is a Pariyatti audiobook of Bodhi Leaves No. 157, "The Bodhisattva Concept" by A.G.S. Kariyawasam found in the Pariyatti Edition of Collected Bodhi Leaves Vol. V.
 
Excerpt from The Bodhisattva Concept:
 
In original Pali Buddhism, the term bodhisatta is used more or less exclusively to designate Gautama Buddha prior to his enlightenment.
 
'The concept of bodhisattva, along with that of Buddha and of the cakravartin (world-ruler), was in vogue in India even before the appearance of Gautama Buddha. When Prince Siddhārtha, who later became Gautama Buddha, took conception in the womb of Queen Māyā, a seer predicted that Suddhodana’s future son would be either a world-ruler (cakravartin) or a Buddha. Once, answering a question by a brahmin, the Buddha himself admitted that he is neither a god nor a yakkha, but a Buddha, meaning thereby one of a succession of Buddhas (A II 38).
