Limited reprint. Corbett vs. Dempsey announce the release of four books of poetry by Sun Ra. Two of these were pamphlets that accompanied early Sun Ra albums issued in the late 1950s; the other two were published more than a decade later by Infinity Inc./Saturn Research. CvsD's reprints are fastidiously designed facsimiles of the original publications, marking the first time they have been available in their Ra-ordained form since they were published. An architect of Afrofuturism and one of the great musical thinkers of the 20th century, Ra's work extended far beyond jazz and even music to the realms of pageantry, performance, theater, philosophy, visual art, and literature. In the mid-1950s, he handed out leaflets and gave street corner lectures -- revisionist interpretations of the Bible and bold meditations on the status of African Americans in American society. A few years later, Ra began disseminating his poems in -- and sometimes on -- his albums. His debut, Jazz By Sun Ra, was issued in 1957 by the Boston-based Transition label, a short-lived company that sold records by subscription; this record contained a beautiful booklet, now as prized as the LP itself, with rare photographs and a selection of poems and proclamations, as well as the personnel and recording credits. Ra's Jazz In Silhouette was released two years hence on Saturn Records, the label he started with Alton Abraham, and it came with a mimeographed liner booklet -- now exceedingly rare -- that was folded, unstapled, as an ultra-economical accompaniment to the vinyl. The CvsD version folds this slim pamphlet of poetry into a slipcover with a classic photo portrait of Ra by Thomas "Bugs" Hunter on the back. Perhaps Ra's best-known book of poetry, reprinted in many alternative versions with different contents over the years, is The Immeasurable Equation; this incarnation restores the original Infinity Inc./Saturn Research version, published in Chicago in 1972 and distributed widely by the Arkestra, often from the bandstand. It features more than 60 of Ra's poems. Finally, perhaps the rarest of Ra's poetry books is Extensions Out: Immeasurable Equation Vol. II, which was also published by Infinity Inc./Saturn Research. This 8 1/2 x 11 inch book is a massive compendium of more than 130 poems, very much in step with the mimeo poetry publications of its era -- simple staple binding, one-sided pages -- featuring three photographs of artwork by Ayé Aton, a close ally of Ra's in this, the period of the Arkestra classic Space Is The Place, on which Aton plays percussion. Great care was taken to reproduce the special textured cover of this highly sought-after book. These four books are exclusively sold as a set. The first edition is limited to 1000 copies. Corbett vs. Dempsey is proud to represent the non-musical side of the Sun Ra Estate. The label gratefully acknowledges Irwin Chusid and Sun Ra LLC for the permission to release this historically rich chronicle of Ra's poetry, presented as he originally conceived it.

Deben Bhattacharya (1921-2001) was a field recordist, poet, filmmaker, musicologist, and amateur ethnomusicologist, based in Calcutta and Paris. Highly influential, it would not be too bold a stretch to say that his work shaped how we listen to the world: he produced a vast number of LPs, CDs, videos, and radio shows of traditional music from India, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Europe from 1953 until his death in 2001. Never before published, Paris to Calcutta: Men and Music on the Desert Road features over four hours of music and is Deben's impressionistic account of a 1955 journey overland, in a converted milk delivery van, from France to India collecting and exploring music along the Desert Road from Europe into India. With four CDs of recordings, photographs, Deben's original recording notes, musical transcriptions, and more. An amazing glimpse into a time long gone and essential listening for anyone interested in folk and world music traditions. Produced and edited by Robert Millis (Indian Talking Machine (2015) and Victrola Favorites (DTD 011CD, 2009). "Actually, I think my playing is probably more derived from the folk music records that I heard; Middle Eastern music, Indian music... for years I had something called Music On The Desert Road, which was an album with all kinds of different ethnic music. I used to listen to that all the time." --Frank Zappa, 1993 (from an interview in Guitarist Magazine, talking about an LP released by Deben in 1956 using a few edited versions of the music included on this compilation.) 160 pages, cloth bound cover with four CDs: 45 pages of photographs and 50 pages of detailed recording notes. Introductions by Jharna Bose Bhattacharya, Robert Millis and WG Archer.

"Tens of millions of people have seen these films. nobody knows who made them. Curled up on our couches in the wee hours of the morning, in reruns, and nostalgic You Tube forwards, filmmaker Al Jarnow has touched our lives and changed the way we look at the world without us ever knowing. Beginning with his work for a certain public television show that featured a big yellow bird, Al Jarnow captured life's scientific minutia and boiled it down for easy consumption between cookie eating monsters and counting vampires. Coupling time-lapse, stop motion, and cell animation with simple objects found in every day life, Jarnow deconstructed the world for an entire generation. From the third floor of his Long Island gingerbread home, his mind wandered beyond the confines of educational programming. Delving into New York's avant-garde film scene alongside Harry Smith, Jonas Mekas and Stan Brakhage, Jarnow created a body of awe-inspiring films that remain in the collections of MOMA and Pompideau Center. Employing the archival skills honed during the excavation of over 40 full-length albums, Celestial Navigations marks The Numero Group's first foray into the world of cinema. The 45 films collected have been transferred and color corrected from the original 16mm prints, along with fully remastered sound. Special features include a 30-minute documentary on Jarnow's creative process, as well as film playlists designed for both children and adults alike. The deluxe package includes a 60-page book loaded to the gills with essays, ephemera, storyboards, photos, and a complete film index, all housed in the iconic Numero slipcase." Region 0; color and B&W; full screen; total running time: 110 minutes. Includes a 60-page full color book.

Masterpiece. Reprinted from the long-awaited culmination of Nakano's theology, "The Collected Works of Ryōshun Nakano (1916-1988)" which clearly explains the modern significance of Shinran's Pure Land Buddhism from the fundamental thought of Mahayana Buddhism. (3xBook+BOX, Only Japanese)

"Yoga Vasishta weaves together many stories and commentaries to explain the ultimate teachings. It will be a marvelous discovery not only for philosophers, but even for modern psychologists and scientists. While most of the existing scriptures were preached by God to His devotees, the Yoga Vasishta is a teaching addressed to God. It is a teaching given by the sage Vasishta to Rama, God.
The philosophy of Yoga Vasishta, which provides a true understanding of the creation of the world, is very close to the doctrine of Kashmir Shiva, and the core of its teachings is "All is Consciousness. It includes the material world as you see it, as it is. This is the absolute truth. The world is nothing but the play of consciousness." (From Swami Muktananda's Preface)

Revised and expanded second edition of Hartmut Geerken and Chris Trent's comprehensive reference Omniverse Sun Ra, originally published in 1994. Full-color 304-page hardcover book.

This is the first public recording of a famous lecture by Rijin Yasuda, a great scholar of Buddhist studies, which is relevant not only to the Shoshinge but also to the entirety of the Kyogyoshinsho.

A Japanese translation of D.T.Suzuki's English article discussing Shinran's pure land doctrine of other powers. Zen as a doctrine of self-reliance, seeking enlightenment by one's own power. Pure Land Buddhism as the doctrine of other forces to seek the attainment of Buddhahood by relying on the Buddha's compassion. The two teachings were different ways to attainment of Buddhahood. The pure land doctrine of transversal power, which was developed by Shinran, teaches that ordinary people have realized the present satori as the original Buddhist path by giving up their own discrimination, directing themselves to the Buddha's compassion, and opening the way to live surrounded by the Dharma itself. The translator, a disciple of the last years of D.T.Suzuki's life, translates the text based on D.T.Suzuki's understanding of Shin Buddhism. Half of the articles in the book are translated into Japanese for the first time!

Focusing on Saichi, the film reveals the true nature of Myōkōnin as practitioners of other powers.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Myokonin (妙好人, myōkōnin) are famous, pious followers of the Jōdo Shinshū sect of Japanese Buddhism.

Myōkōnin means "a wondrous, excellent person". It is used for a devout follower of Jōdo Shinshū, who lives a life of total dedication to Amida and whose acts and sayings, though they often run counter to common sense, reveal the depth of faith and true humanity".

Myōkōnin were largely unheard of in the West until D. T. Suzuki introduced them in his lectures and writings on Jōdo Shinshū. Most myōkōnin left behind very little writing, but in the case of Saichi, he left behind a prolific amount of poetry expressing his devotion to Amida Buddha.

Myōkōnin have been documented through Japanese history, from the Tokugawa period to the modern period.

This is a discourse on The True Faith of Kyōgyōshinshō, written by Shinran, the founder of the Pure land shin sect. This book is a masterpiece in which Shinran's thought is carefully read and clarified through difficult quotations from Buddhist scriptures with oral translations of the original text. This is the first time in 50 years that it has been reprinted in a new edition.

the gold disc of the Matrimandir in the center of Auroville. 4.5 x 4.5 cm

Three golden pyramids stacked on top of each other, an auspicious ornament known as Vastu in India.

This is a fine stock from a few years ago of agarwood (from New Guinea, Indonesia), an incense tree that was introduced from the continent around the first half of the 6th century with Buddhist rituals.

It is said that when agarwood trees in Southeast Asia, which belong to the agarwood family, are damaged by wind, rot, or insects, they secrete resin inside the damaged area to protect themselves, which results in agarwood. It takes several decades for agarwood to be produced, and it is extremely difficult to produce artificially because it is affected by natural conditions.
Most of the incense available in Japan today is made by mixing agarwood with Chinese medicines, spices, and sandalwood, but this incense is made using only agarwood. In the Heian period (794-1185), agarwood was popular as a scent, and from the Kamakura period (1185-1333) onward, samurai loved and prized agarwood for its calming effect to calm their spirits in preparation.
It is said that powerful people of the time were also keen to collect it. The delicate and gentle fragrance reminiscent of trees is modern in a sense, and can be used for meditation as well as by people of all ages. I hope you will find it useful.

This is an agarwood from Hainan, China, which has a beautiful sweetness and clear, clean appearance. Since ancient times, it has been treated as one of the authentic medicinal materials in Hainan.

The Greatest Enlightener of the 20th Century, Admired by Jung and Gandhi!
"Who am I? This is the first time that a person has been taught that consciousness is the only real truth.
"He taught that "consciousness is the only real truth.
The book is presented in a question-and-answer format that summarizes his perspective on various issues.

"When the mind is still, the whole world is still. The mind is the cause of everything.
When it is quieted, the original natural state will appear by itself."

The Ashtavakra Gita (Sanskrit: अष्टावक्रगीता; IAST: aṣṭāvakragītā) or Song of Ashtavakra is a classical text in the Advaita Vedanta tradition in the form of a dialogue between the sage Ashtavakra and Janaka, king of Mithila. -Wikipedia

This book is also called the modern Upanishads. This is the story of a great enlightened man who, without formal education, lived in a village on the outskirts of Bombay, running an ordinary grocery store, but met a guru and realized the True Self in just three years.
Since its first publication in 1973, the book has been highly praised and read as one of the most important scriptures of our time.
The first translation in Japan.

This book is the ultimate answer to Ramana Maharshi's question, "Who am I? This book is the ultimate answer to Ramana Maharshi's question, "Who am I?

I am.
I am, and because I am, everything is.
"There is no answer to the question, "Who am I? There is no answer to this question.
No experience can answer it.
No experience can answer it, because the Self is beyond experience.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Disques Ocora, a French label dedicated to capturing and publishing the sounds of folkloric culture from around the world, is held in the highest possible regard in the realms of professional and amateur ethnomusicology. Instigated in 1958 by Pierre Schaeffer, the founder of musique concrète, Disques Ocora's sterling reputation is largely built on composer and musicologist Charles Duvelle's pioneering field recordings, as well as his now-iconic photographs and graphic design. Charles Duvelle's work is indisputably one of the most important contributions to the human understanding of the rich biodiversity of our planet's music and language. In 1977, his field recordings from Benin were selected by Carl Sagan for inclusion on the Voyager Golden Records, which were carried into outer space by the Voyager spacecraft to stand as an example of humanity's highest musical expressions for the universe's unknown listeners. Sublime Frequencies' most ambitious project to date, this 296-page fine-art photography book comprises an exhaustive collection of Charles Duvelle's field photography from 1959 to 1978 (188 black-and-white and 58 color photographs), demonstrating that this master musicologist had an equally unerring eye for photography; Includes a photo index listing the details of each photograph. It also contains an exhaustive interview with Charles Duvelle by Hisham Mayet, detailing the history of the label and offering Duvelle's unique insights into the discipline of field recording (French and English facing text). The package includes two full-length CDs of archival recordings (some of which have never been published) selected, compiled, and fully annotated by Duvelle himself. Most of the tracks on CD one (Africa) are complete versions of truncated tracks from OOP Ocora LPs. CD two, which includes performances by Sohan Lal, Kheo Oudon, and Madurai Ramaswami Gautam, is focused on material from Asia (music from India and Laos), with two long tracks that have never been released (a third track is a complete unedited version). The material focuses on the five regions surveyed during his time with Ocora: West Africa, Central Africa, Indian Ocean, Pacific Islands, and SouthEast Asia. It includes "Disques Ocora / Charles Duvelle Discography, 1959-1974", a complete overview illustrated with 94 full-color album thumbnails, "The Prophet Collection, 1999-2004" a discography of Duvelle's post-Ocora label illustrated with 41 full-color album thumbnails, "Eastern Music in Black Africa", a 17-page report prepared by Charles Duvelle at the request of UNESCO (February 1970), and a review of the Ocora catalogues (1964-1973). In a tribute to Disques Ocora's exquisite design sensibility, the book is printed on 170 gsm Lumisilk matte art paper and bound in grey buckram with gold foil stamping on the cover and spine. The front cover includes a tipped-on glossy photograph by Charles Duvelle. Hardcover book; 10"x10"; 296 pages; 4.5 lbs. Produced and edited by Hisham Mayet.
