Sommario/riassunto

Though traditionally regarded as a peaceful religion, Buddhism has a dark side. On multiple occasions over the past fifteen centuries, Buddhist leaders have sanctioned violence, and even war. The eight essays in this book focus on a variety of Buddhist traditions, from antiquity to the present, and show that Buddhist organizations have used religious images and rhetoric to support military conquest throughout history. Buddhist soldiers in sixth century China were given the illustrious status of Bodhisattva after killing their adversaries. In

Sommario/riassunto

In 1924, the Triglav Lakes Valley was designated a protected area, which is today part of the central area of extensive Triglav National Park. The lakes give a special character to the valley, which also stands out for its other natural features. In terms of nonliving nature, this volume presents some of the valley’s geological, geomorphological, and hydrological characteristics, and, in terms of living nature, it presents its vegetation, focusing on botanical characteristics and forest. The volume also discusses the human presence and its impact on the appearance of the landscape.

Leta 1924 je bilo v Dolini Triglavskih jezer vzpostavljeno zavarovano območje. Danes je del osrednjega dela obsežnejšega Triglavskega narodnega parka. Dolini dajejo poseben pečat jezera, izstopa pa tudi po drugih naravnih posebnostih. V okviru nežive narave so v knjigi predstavljene nekatere njene geološke, reliefne in vodne značilnosti, v okviru žive narave pa rastje, s poudarkom na botaničnih značilnostih in gozdu. Knjiga predstavlja tudi človekovo prisotnost in njegov vpliv na videz pokrajine.
