Sinopsis

Ancient Birth Rituals explores the fascinating ceremonies and beliefs surrounding childbirth in ancient civilizations, revealing their lasting impact on modern practices and perceptions. From Ancient Egypt birth practices to those in Mesopotamia, Greece, Rome, and China, the book unveils how these societies understood conception, gestation, and delivery through mythology and religion. These ancient societies believed deities played a crucial role in childbirth, such as Hathor in Egypt, demonstrating the desire to invoke divine blessings for both mother and child.

 


 
The book also investigates the roles of ancient midwives and the use of herbal remedies, highlighting the specialized knowledge surrounding pregnancy and delivery. The book progresses thematically, starting with core concepts and developing ideas across chapters, examining the role of deities, the evolution of specialized knowledge, and the symbolic meanings within birth rituals. It demonstrates how these ancient beliefs have evolved, influencing modern obstetrics and cultural attitudes.

 


 
By drawing from archaeological finds, ancient texts like the Ebers Papyrus, and iconographic representations, Ancient Birth Rituals offers a unique, comparative perspective on the diverse yet common human responses to childbirth, appealing to those interested in world history and its relevance today.

    This is an audiobook of Bodhi Leaves No.99 by M. O’C. Walshe, "The Middle Way and other essays" found in the Pariyatti Edition of Collected Bodhi Leaves Vol. IV. 
     
    Excerpt: 
    "It is always a good idea to seek the middle way, or the golden mean, between extremes whether in politics, in one’s personal view and behaviour, or in fact in any walk of life. The difficulty arises when we attempt to discover what, in practice, is the middle way. It is not, as some appear to suppose, the mid-point between truth and falsehood, or between right and wrong! In fact the middle way itself is true, and is right: the difficulty lies merely in finding it. Here are some examples: it is the mean between (as the Buddha said) self-indulgence and self-mortification, or (the same thing as applied to other persons and animals) between pampering and cruelty. 
     
    "The middle way, even at a fairly modest, mundane level, is not very popular in the world today. Probably it never was. But in these restless times it is perhaps especially needed, and at the same time especially hard to achieve. It is fatally easy to indulge in nostalgia, to conjure up a false and idealised picture of earlier times which in fact, whatever period of history we may envisage, all had their grave disadvantages of one kind or another. All the same, until recent times it may be said that, in general, life usually had a kind of placidity that has now been lost, and which is hard to recapture, except in the atmosphere of some temple, church, meditation centre or the like. This, however, may simply mean that in earlier times the tendency towards sloth and indolence was, on the whole, greater than that towards worry and flurry."
