Avalokiteśvara
In Buddhism, Avalokiteśvara (Sanskrit: अवलोकितेश्वर, IPA: ) is a bodhisattva who embodies the compassion of all Buddhas. He has 108 avatars, one notable avatar being Padmapāṇi (lotus bearer). He is variably depicted, described, and portrayed in different cultures as either male or female. In East Asian Buddhism, he has evolved into a female form called Guanyin. Etymology The name ''Avalokiteśvara'' combines the verbal prefix ''ava'' "down", ''lokita'', a past participle of the verb ''lok'' "to notice, behold, observe", here used in an active sense; and finally '' īśvara'', "lord", "ruler", "sovereign" or "master". In accordance with sandhi (Sanskrit rules of sound combination), ''a''+''īśvara'' becomes ''eśvara''. Combined, the parts mean "lord who gazes down (at the world)". The word ''loka'' ("world") is absent from the name, but the phrase is implied. It does appear in the Cambodian form of the name, ''Lokesvarak''. The earliest translation ...

Song Dynasty
The Song dynasty (; ; 960–1279) was an imperial dynasty of China that began in 960 and lasted until 1279. The dynasty was founded by Emperor Taizu of Song following his usurpation of the throne of the Later Zhou. The Song conquered the rest of the Ten Kingdoms, ending the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. The Song often came into conflict with the contemporaneous Liao, Western Xia and Jin dynasties in northern China. After retreating to southern China, the Song was eventually conquered by the Mongol-led Yuan dynasty. The dynasty is divided into two periods: Northern Song and Southern Song. During the Northern Song (; 960–1127), the capital was in the northern city of Bianjing (now Kaifeng) and the dynasty controlled most of what is now Eastern China. The Southern Song (; 1127–1279) refers to the period after the Song lost control of its northern half to the Jurchen-led Jin dynasty in the Jin–Song Wars. At that time, the Song court retreated south of the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Jaya Simhavarman II
Jaya Simhavarman II (Chinese: 刑卜施離值星霞弗; pinyin: ''Xíng Bǔ Shīlí Zhíxīngxiáfú''), was a king of Champa, supposedly reigning from 1041 to 1044. He succeeded his father Shīlí Pílándéjiābámádié, perhaps Vikrantavarman IV (r. 1030–1041). In late 1042 he sent an envoy with tribute to the court of the Song dynasty. Simhavarman II might have met with serious trouble during his short-lived reign. From the north, king Ly Thai Tong of Dai Viet accused Cham king's alleging raid in Dai Viet territory, henceforth he provoked war against Champa. In January 1044, the Dai Viet made a landfall in the coastal Huế-Da Nang region from the sea. The northern raiders plundered cities, ravaging the region, then battled against a counter Cham army led by the Cham king (he may be known as king Sạ Đẩu in the 14th-century Vietnamese chronicle ''Đại Việt sử lược''). Unprepared, Simhavarman's army had been routed and himself was supposedly decapitated by the D ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
