Enlightened Buddhist Stones --Epilogue --Notes --Bibliography --IndexLearning Love from a Tiger explores the vibrancy and variety of humans' sacred encounters with the natural world, gathering a range of stories culled from Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Mayan, Himalayan, Buddhist, and Chinese shamanic traditions. Readers will delight in tales of house cats who teach monks how to meditate, shamans who shape-shift into jaguars, crickets who perform Catholic mass, rivers that grant salvation, and many others. In addition to being a collection of wonderful stories, this book introduces important concepts and approaches that underlie much recent work in environmental ethics, religion, and ecology. Daniel Capper's light touch prompts readers to engage their own views of humanity's place in the natural world and question longstanding assumptions of human superiority.NatureReligious aspectsComparative studiesAnimalsReligious aspectsComparative studiesAnimals (Philosophy)Human-animal relationshipsPhilosophyHuman-animal relationshipsReligious aspectsComparative studiesbig cat lover.big cat.buddhist.cat lover.chinese.christian.ecology.environmentalism.ethics.himalayan.hindu.human animal relationships.international.mayan.muslim.mythology.natural world.nature.redemption.religion.salvation.shaman.shamanic traditions.shape shifting.short stories.spiritual.spirituality.stories of faith.tiger lover.tiger.wild animal.world religion.NatureReligious aspectsAnimalsReligious aspectsAnimals (Philosophy)Human-animal relationshipsPhilosophy.Human-animal relationshipsReligious aspects202.12Capper Danielauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1464518DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910798290803321Learning Love from a Tiger3674187UNINA
