Resumen

In this thesis I explore aspects of the Buddha Gotama as a teacher. I begin by analyzing the nature of the Buddha's enlightenment and his state of mind as presented by various accounts. The chapter reconciles his decision to teach by means of Buddhist epistemology and gives an account of the difficulty of learning the Buddhadhamma. In chapter two I give three examples of the Buddha teaching individual students about the dhamma to show how he approaches each scenario differently depending on the needs of the student. Finally I give an account of William James' pragmatic method in an effort to show how the Buddha's teaching is pragmatic as a method for solving an existential crisis.

Resumen

Early art in Buddhist cultic sites was characterized by the absence of anthropomorphicimages of the Buddha. The Buddha was instead represented by different signs, like awheel, a tree, a seat and footprints. This study emphasizes the transformation this artunderwent from simple signs to carefully made aniconic compositions representing theBuddha in a narrative context.

Buddhist aniconic art has been explained by a prohibition against images of theBuddha or by a doctrine that made it inappropriate to depict the body of the Buddha.This study rejects such explanations. Likewise, the practice of different meditationalexercises cannot explain this transformation. Instead, it is important to understand thatearly art at Buddhist cultic sites consisted of simple signs belonging to a shared sacredIndian culture. This art reflected a notion of auspiciousness, fertility and abundance.The formation of Buddhist aniconic art was indicated by the connection of these auspi- cious signs with a narrative tradition about the life and teachings of the Buddha.

The study emphasizes the importance Sakyamuni Buddha played in the formation ofBuddhist art. The Buddha was interpreted as an expression of auspiciousness, but hewas also connected with a soteriological perspective. Attention is also focused on thefact that the development of Buddhist art and literature was a gradual and mutualprocess. Furthermore, Buddhist aniconic art presaged the making of anthropomorphicimages of the Buddha. It was not an innovation of motive for the Buddhists when theystarted to make anthropomorphic images of the Buddha. He was already there.

Texto completo

Resumen

As early as the fifth century C.E., the thousand buddha motif had become a prevalent feature in the art of many cave-temples in Gansu, China. Past scholarship concentrated on tracing the textual sources of the motif and with relating it to the practices associated with the devotion to the three thousand buddhas of the three ages. Past research has not considered how the thousand buddhas may have been a reflection of a wider range of religious practices and popular beliefs nor has it explored the motif's artistic origin.
By demonstrating that the earliest examples of the two-dimensional painted form of the thousand buddhas came from Gansu and that the motif was related to an iconographic and architectural design that existed between several Gansu cave-temple sites, this study proposes that the thousand buddha motif was a Gansu cave-temple art innovation that influenced cave-temple decor in areas west of Gansu. In addition, possible reasons for the prevalence of the motif are suggested by considering that it may have reflected the relationship between the thousand buddhas and meditative practices as well as the acts of chanting and circumambulation.

Resumen

This study has three aims. The first one is to review which Buddhist symbols are used in Rituals commercial “The Ritual of Laughing Buddha”, where Rituals is a cosmetic company, with a main focus on skin care. The second aim with my study is to examine how semiotic resources are used to depict Buddhist symbols based on multimodal critical discourse analysis, and the third aim is to examine how the concept of banal religion in the theory of mediatization can contribute to the understanding of the representation of Buddhist symbols. This paper will use a multimodal critical discourse analysis to examine the commercial and then analyze the material in relation to the theory of mediatization as described by Hjarvard. The semiotic resources made the Buddhist symbols appear explicitly and since several Buddhist symbols were found in the material, the concept of banal religion could be used as a theoretical focus and contribute to an understandning of how Buddhist symbols are used in the commercial. The results show that the commercial is not intended to convey a religious message, but was mainly used to connote emotions such as happiness, warmth and extravagance. Representation of religion is thus found in the commercial, but the Buddhist symbols are used in a different way, and are in a new context than from institutionalized religion.

Resumen

This doctrinal study demonstrates in what way the ‘Universal Applicability’ of Buddha Dhamma can be reflected in the intervention process in view of the contemporary situation of the Buddhist Mindfulness being integrated as a psychotherapeutic technique. In past few decades, the Western psychotherapists recognize Mindfulness as ‘the heart of Buddhist meditation’ and apply it as an impartial psychotherapeutic technique to serve their clients’ physical health and psychological wellness. As recorded in the Buddhist Pāli tradition, through practicing Mindfulness meditation, people are able to comprehend the ‘Universal Applicability’ of Buddha Dhamma, to realize three universal characteristics (lakkhanas) of sentient existence, namely impermanence (anicca), un-satisfactoriness (dukkha), and non-self (anatta), and eventually to liberate their mind from suffering. From studying the Buddhist teaching of Mindfulness embedded in the Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta and the Mahā-Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta, the researcher develops this tenet, “the Buddhist Mindfulness could be an effective psychotherapeutic technique when it is practiced within the Buddhist context and supported by the theoretical foundation, and when the ‘Universal Applicability’ of the Buddha Dhamma is reflected in the therapeutic process ”. Applying the tenet to study the case, the ‘Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program’ (the MBSR) initiated by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn, she finds three issues which makes her hesitated to agree with the Western psychotherapists’ integrating the Buddhist Mindfulness as a stand-alone psychotherapeutic technique. The first two issues are the way the psychotherapists interpreting and implementing the Buddhist Mindfulness as a stand-alone technique without the Buddhist context and isolated from the Buddhist theoretical foundation. Resulted from the first two issues, the third one is the ‘Universal Applicability’ of Buddha Dhamma has no way to reflect in the treatment process to help people liberating from suffering. After identifying these three issues, the researcher carries on to incorporate ideas of practicing Mindfulness suggested by the Pali Buddhist tradition, and collaborate with the Social Work Profession with applying transferrable skills of the ‘Experiential Learning’ techniques to design a pilot service—the Buddhist Mindfulness-Based Social Service Project (the BMBSS). The BMBSS, consists of (1) an Orientation Meeting, (2) the six-session Prerequisite Training (the PRT-BMBSS) and, (3) the twenty-six-session Buddhist Mindfulness-Based Social Service Program (the BMBSS), aims at demonstrating the way to support the ‘Practicing Facilitators’ and the ‘Practicing Novices’ to apply the Buddhist teaching of Mindfulness into their daily activities. Moreover, the researcher designs the BMBSS Project in the way to promote interdisciplinary collaboration between Buddhist communities and the Social Work Profession to exchange ideas to benefit their services. The Social Work Profession may benefit from the Buddhist teaching on ‘non-self’ to apply its intrinsic technique of the ‘use of self’ to serve the clients, when the Buddhist communities may learn from the Social Work Profession to bring the Buddhist teaching to serve the society at large. Furthermore, ideas on supporting inter-disciplinary collaboration generated from developing the BMBSS may transfer into promoting dialogues and networking between the Buddhist communities and other professions to integrate the ‘Universal Applicability’ of Buddha Dhamma to serve the needs of the Buddhists and non-Buddhists.

Brown, Kerry Lucinda. "Dīpaṅkara Buddha and the Patan Samyak Mahādāna in Nepal: Performing the Sacred in Newar Buddhist Art". VCU Scholars Compass, 2014. http://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/etd/3635.

Texto completo

Resumen

Every four years, in the middle of a cold winter night, devotees bearing images of 126 Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and other important deities assemble in the Nepalese city of Patan for an elaborate gift giving festival known as Samyak Mahādāna (“The Perfect Great Gift”). Celebrated by Nepal’s Newar Buddhist community, Samyak honors one of the Buddhas of the historical past called Dīpaṅkara. Dīpaṅkara’s importance in Buddhism is rooted in ancient textual and visual narratives that promote the cultivation of generosity through religious acts of giving (Skt. dāna). During Samyak, large images of Dīpaṅkara Buddha ceremoniously walk in procession to the event site, aided by a man who climbs inside the wooden body to assume the legs of the Buddha. Once arranged at the event, Dīpaṅkara is honored with an array of offerings until dusk the following day. This dissertation investigates how Newar Buddhists utilize art and ritual at Samyak to reenact and reinforce ancient Buddhist narratives in their contemporary lives. The study combines art historical methods of iconographic analysis with a contextual study of the ritual components of the Samyak Mahādāna to analyze the ways religious spectacle embeds core Buddhist values within in the multilayered components of art, ritual, and communal performance. Principally, Samyak reaffirms the foundational Buddhist belief in the cultivation of generosity (Skt. dāna pāramitā) through meritorious acts of giving (Skt. dāna). However, the synergy of image and ritual performance at Samyak provides a critical framework to examine the artistic, religious, and ritual continuities of past and present in the Newar Buddhist community of the Kathmandu Valley. An analysis of the underlying meta-narrative and conceptualization of Samyak suggests the construction of a dynamic visual narrative associated with sacred space, ritual cosmology, and religious authority. Moreover, this dissertation demonstrates the role of Samyak Mahādāna in constructing Buddhist identity in Nepal, as the festival provides an opportunity to examine how Newar Buddhists utilize art, ritual, and performance to reaffirm their ancient Buddhist heritage.

Resumen

Comparative studies in sainthood in world religions, especially Pali Buddhism and Judaism has been a substantial component of my academic interests. Constructed out of my research findings the new typology of sainthood lays emphasis on the fact the two religions have a common universal pattern of sainthood, hence parallel sainthoods. My research concludes that Siddhartha the Buddha and Moses the Prophet as primordial saints, as saintliness as a human quality in Pali Buddhism and Judaism originates from these personalities. Any other successive types of sainthood in the said religious traditions are derived from the main type, the primordial sainthood.

Resumen

Of the three bodies of the Buddha, the sambhogakaya was the last to have been formulated (circa, the third to fourth century CE) To date, scholars have not established any substantiated theory with regard to its origins. It is with this aim that I began my research on the subject. In earliest Buddhist literature, the concept of the Buddha reveals two aspects: a human identity and a superhuman character. The rationalist Sarvastivadins developed their belief in the human Buddha while the Mahasarnghikas relied more on pure faith and developed their concept of the transcendental Buddha endowed with superhuman qualities. It is on this basis that the two-body theory of the Buddha was formulated. Most probably the originator belongs to the Sarvastivada school and flourished before the composition of the Mahdprajndparamita-sastra. From the fourth chapter onwards, I have traced the origins and developments of each of the three bodies. The concept of the dharmakaya, derived from the Buddha's teachings collected in the corpus of early Buddhist literature, was further developed as a collection of pure dharmas by the Sarvastivadins. It finally evolved into the cosmic body, an impersonal principle supporting all phenomena through its identification with the tathata which pervades the whole universe in Mahayana Buddhism. It is on this basis that the Mahayanists identified the dharmakaya with other key concepts such as the Buddhadhatu and the Tathdgatagarbha. The sambhogakaya theory arose as a result of the debate on the rupakaya of the Buddha. Initially, the Sarvastivadins and the Mahasamghikas debated on the transcendental qualities of the Buddha. This later led to the problem of the short lifespan of Sakyamuni when Mahayanists increasingly emphasized the great merit of the Buddha gained through bodhisattva practice. The formulation of the sambhogakaya was arguably a solution to this complex problem, basing itself as precedent on the teachings of the early and middle Mahayana sutras. The nirmanakaya doctrine originated from the early Buddhist theory of the mind-made body produced through the supernatural power of rddhi. It had probably first been conceived by the Mahasarnghikas when they idealised the Buddha as transcendental. The Mahayanists accepted this concept in its entirety and further developed it into that of the nirmanakaya. Many scholars think that the development of the concept of the Buddha is mainly driven by faith in Gautama, but our study of the subject shows that philosophical thought also plays a very important role.

Resumen

Abstract

The mixed messages provided in The Buddha of Suburbia together with its prevalent use of humour are the focal point for this essay. The aim is to defend my thesis statement that humour provides a justifiable forum for the critique and presentation of society, enabling the facilitation of serious, effective and powerful perspectives. As critical standpoints a mixture of Postcolonial and Marxist theories are applied together with Bakhtin’s theory of carnevalesque. By comparing historic facts with the portrayed environment depicted in the novel, a message is delivered that a change of a different worldview is required. This message is displayed with various uses of humour, wit and satire, which provide an allegorical veil for its seriousness. This analysis shows that there are no seeming changes in the lives of the characters, but it highlights that a need for a change of views is important.

Texto completo

Resumen

The aim of this thesis to is explore the relationship between Henry Miller, Zen Buddhism and how this may offer new ways of reading Miller. By exploring the life-long interest of Miller in Eastern Philosophy I hope to show that far from being the misogynistic, sexual miscreant of legend, he was in fact a deeply spiritual man who wished his work to inspire and motivate readers rather than be a form of titillation. My attempt here is not to rehabilitate Miller’s reputation in regards to race, religion or gender, but rather to examine his work through a more spiritual lens. In the process I will attempt to use a more complete selection of Miller’s works than is commonly utilized by critics, although particular attention will be given to Tropic of Cancer, I will show how later, more spiritual works illuminate Miller’s Zen Buddhist beliefs. By using novels, essays, letters and pamphlets I hope to provide a wide-ranging examination of Miller’s oeuvre both chronologically and spiritually. Two key words that will be found to re-occur throughout the thesis are ‘journey’ and ‘progression’. Journey in the sense that Miller saw his own life in Zen Buddhist terms; he existed to evolve and gain awareness though his life experiences through the writing and re-writing them until he could move beyond them. Progression in the sense that movement is crucial to the development of spirituality, the mind and heart must be open to new knowledge and understanding. I will show that Miller came to conceptualise both his life and work through the Zen Buddhist teaching of The Four Noble Truths and Miller’s daily implementation of The Eight Fold Path. I will start by arguing that it is impossible to understand Miller’s journey without first examining the process by which he came to shape his own life narrative. The Zen peace of Miller’s later years was hard fought and gained at considerable price to both him and those close to him. Miller first had to develop a conceptualisation of creativity before he could be open to meaningful spiritual change. This thesis will examine the lasting influence of both Otto Rank and Henri Bergson on Miller’s idea of what it meant to be a writer, how reality in relation to his life experiences was malleable and how this provided Miller with the foundation on which to explore his spirituality. I will show how Miller’s close relationship to Surrealism caused him to re-think some of his positions in relation to language, style and freedom, yet ultimately why he felt impelled to continue on his journey to Zen Buddhism enlightenment.

Cette thèse étudie en détail un type particulier de représentation du Bouddha où il est représenté assis sur un trône prééminent, le bhadrapīṭha ou bhadrāsana, dans une posture majestueuse avec les deux jambes pendantes, c’est-à-dire assis en bhadrāsana ou dans l’attitude « de bon augure ». Cette iconographie, étroitement associée à l’imagerie du trône, se retrouve largement représentée dans l’art de l’Asie du Sud, de l’Est et du Sud-Est, et est, en règle générale, intimement liée aux modèles de la royauté, de la fertilité, et même du divin. Plusieurs implications notables ressortent de cet examen iconologique concernant les origines, la diffusion, et le développement de l’art bouddhique dans ces contrées, particulièrement au cours du premier millénaire de notre ère
This dissertation provides a detailed study of a particular representation of the Buddha, in which he sits on a prominent throne, i.e. a bhadrapīṭha or bhadrāsana, in a majestic posture with two legs pendant, that is, in bhadrāsana or the “auspicious pose.” This pendant-legged imagery, generally associated with the throne, has been found widely depicted in South, East, and Southeast Asian art and is, as a rule, mostly associated with kingship, fertility, and even divinity. The results of this iconological examination have wide implications for understanding the origins, spread, and development of Buddhist art in those lands, particularly during the first millennium CE

Resumen

Il presente lavoro si propone di mettere in dialogo, attraverso la trattazione del caso etnografico, alcune linee teoriche della cosiddetta “svolta ontologica” e la fenomenologia culturale. La tesi si precisa attraverso l’analisi delle pratiche e delle rappresentazioni legate alla corporeità all’interno di una comunità monastica italiana, appartenente alla chiesa buddhista giapponese dello Zen Sōtō. La tesi si propone di “prendere sul serio” – al modo della svolta ontologica - due fattori: 1) la molteplicità estensiva dei corpi riscontrata durante la ricerca etnografica; 2) la prassi preponderante d’immanentizzazione del piano divino nei corpi. Si è delineata dunque una tripartizione analitica, strutturante la tesi, riguardo ai “corpi”: il corpo organico del singolo, il corpo sociale della comunità, il corpo architettonico del monastero. Dopo un’introduzione di tipo storico, la tesi si sofferma sulla pratica-madre dello zazen (la meditazione seduta), analizzando le finalità soteriologiche dei processi di oggettivazione e di soggettivazione dei corpi. S’indaga quindi quale sia il rapporto tra la dimensione immediata ed esoterica della trasformazione rituale e i diversi livelli di mediazione simbolica e morale riscontrati durante la pratica etnografica. Dopo aver constatato come l’apparato simbolico venga trasmesso in maniera principiale attraverso l’enactment liturgico, si esplora la concezione monastica di soggettività in relazione al rito dello zazen. All’interno della medesima cornice interpretativa, ci si concentra sui canoni estetici della gestualità rituale, sulle modalità di trasmissione dell’insegnamento, e sul legame tra l’apparato simbolico, lo sfondo soteriologico e la fatticità della carne. Emerge una concezione del corpo che non può essere scissa dall’azione che lo costituisce e dal quid religioso che è pensato sostanziare l’azione rituale tout court. L’analisi antropologica del corpo della comunità e del monastero ha restituito un’immagine della relazione tra i corpi basata su una relazione di contiguità doppia. Il rapporto tra i corpi risulta essere non soltanto molteplice per metonimia (il tutto per la parte) ma anche frattale per sineddoche (la parte per il tutto). In conclusione della tesi, si è analizzato il concetto di corpo cosmico del Buddha, attraverso il quale è emerso la convivenza di una prassi della trascendentalizzazione con una dell’immanenza. Questo doppio regime di pratica ed enunciazione ha evidenziato un fondamentale limite della svolta ontologica, la quale si presenta come un’antropologia dell’immanenza. Di converso il concetto di corpo-soggetto della fenomenologia culturale emerge come sostanziato da un antropocentrismo che si può assumere come pregiudiziale e che non permette di “prendere sul serio” la pratica religiosa dei soggetti studiati. Infine, si rileva una concezione del corpo inteso non come una sostanza (singola o multipla) quanto, piuttosto, come un modo prospettico di sostanziare gli infiniti livelli di cui è inteso essere costituito il cosmo nella sua totalità. Il concetto nella sua generalità non può essere pensato al di fuori della relazione con un’attività cosmica, di tipo sacrificale, che agisce i diversi livelli dell’esistenza, incorporandovisi. Attraverso tale ampia nozione di attività, si è infine cercato di mettere in tensione le dicotomie soggetto/oggetto, immanenza/trascendenza, processo/sostanza da cui si era partiti.
The dissertation tries to relate, through the analysis of ethnographic case study, the so-called ‘ontological turn’ and cultural phenomenology. It focuses on practices and representations of corporeality enacted in an Italian Zen Buddhist monastery. This work aims to “take seriously” – in the same way of ‘ontological’ anthropology – two ethnographic data: 1) the extensive multiplicity of ‘bodies’; 2) the praxis of immanentization of divine realm in the bodies. The thesis is structured on an analytical tripartition: the organic body, the social body, and the architectural body. The present work focuses, first, on the practice of zazen (“sitting meditation”) and analyses the relation between its esoteric interpretation and the several levels of symbolic and moral mediations embodied by Italian practitioners. At the same time, it tries to elucidate the relation between the intersubjective realm of ritual enactment and the immanentization of extra-human realm. In the same fashion, we concentrated on the monastic patterns of ritual gesture and proper deportment, in the context of the transmission between teacher and pupil of bodily knowledge. Besides, we focused on the relation between symbolical apparatus and the facticity of the body. As a result of this analysis, it emerges that the practitioner’s body cannot be separated from the religious character of the ritual action that substantiate it. The anthropological analysis of the social and architectural bodies returns a double image of the relation between bodies, based on the synecdochic and metonymic contiguity, instead of a metaphorical similarity. Finally, we explored the concept of cosmic body of Buddha, through which emerged the coexistence of a trascendentalization praxis with an immanentistic one. By contrast, this double regime of practice and enunciation showed the limits of ontological turn, ascribable to its exclusivist focus on the immanence. At the same time, the immanence of Buddha in the body highlighted the fundamental anthropocentric stance of phenomenological anthropology that doesn’t allow us to “take seriously” the non-human activity that enliven the monastic community. In conclusion, the concept of “body” emerged not as a substance but as a model of ritual operativity through which the divine and the human merges. Through the vast notion of “total activity” (zenki), lastly, we tried to recalibrate the dichotomies for which this dissertation moved.

Resumen

Les statues en ronde-bosse du Buddha khmer, exécutées entre le XIIIe et le XVIe siècle, expriment des pratiques religieuses bien spécifiques, sont marquées du sceau de la tradition angkorienne et révèlent la sensibilité des échanges artistiques avec les pays voisins. Elles sont ainsi le reflet des diverses élaborations et des différents rôles qu’elles ont joué. Un corpus raisonné de deux cent trente-huit statues du Buddha travaillées dans la pierre, le bois et le bronze, issues de plusieurs collections muséales, de collections privées ou de découvertes restées in situ, aide à retracer l’évolution de la production artistique dans le royaume khmer durant cette période. Les principaux résultats de ce travail apportent de nouvelles explications autour de l’idée d’une prise et occupation d’Angkor par Ayutthaya et d’un déplacement du centre politique de la région d’Angkor vers la région des Quatre Bras
Images of Khmer Buddha executed between the 13th and c. 16th CE demonstrate specific religious practice, continuity of the Angkorian tradition, and artistic exchange with bordering countries. Together, they also reveal transformations in the form, definition and role of Buddhist sculpture in Cambodia. An annotated corpus of 238 Buddha images in stone, wood, and bronze from several museum and private collections, and in situ, assist in the reconstruction of changes to artistic production in the Khmer kingdom during this period. The principal results of this work provide new interpretations about the Ayutthyan invasion and occupation at Angkor, and resettlement of the Angkorian political centre in the Quatre Bras region

Resumen

The aim of this paper is to examine how the religions Hinduism and Buddhism compared to Christianity are portrayed and described, in a number of Swedish text books. The research questions used in order to reach the aim of the study are: How are Hinduism and Buddhism portrayed in comparison to Christianity in textbooks, Are the religions described in relation to a Christian norm in the textbooks and in what ways, and How can the portrayal of the religions be understood using theories of religious change in a modern Swedish context? The study is based on four Swedish text books used in Swedish primary school and upper secondary school. All of the books are written in correlation with the latest curriculum for the Swedish school system. The research method used in this study is qualitative content analysis. The theoretical framework is based on Kumashiro’s theory about anti-oppressive pedagogy combined with studies of religious change in modern day Sweden. The result of the study shows that the descriptions of the religions Hinduism and Buddhism are different from how the authors describe Christianity. The authors mostly point out and focus on the philosophical sides of Hinduism and Buddhism, while the main focus in the texts about Christianity is on Christian history. Hindu- ism and Buddhism tend to be described through the lenses of stereotypes which are also upheld by the fact that some of the authors gives a more nuanced picture of Christianity. Most of the authors agree on that religion in the Western world and especially in Sweden is a private matter. When the authors describe the religions in their original countries the descriptions and portrayals vary and the religions are described both as private and public.

ABSTRACT The evolution of Buddha is relative to the history of Buddhism, although the subject of this article is “From Abhidhamma Buddhism to the eary stage of Mahayana Buddhism”, we have to look back on the history of Buddha. In Buddha’s biography , there are many legends which are almost similar to Brahmanism’s culture, therefore the life background of Brahmanism’s culture in this article are based on the Manava-Dharma Sastra (Institutes of Manu) edited by Mr. 蔣忠新 There are remains (remains śarīra), classical quotation and sutra (dharma- kāya), representative of personality and spirit (sila, dhyana, samadhi, citta, prajna, jnana, skandha, dhātu, ayatana vimoksa, and vijnana.) had been left after the death of Buddha. Buddha is eternal, Buddha’s dharma-kāya lives forever, and is grieved by successors. One hundred year after the death of Buddha, Buddhists split into two parts: Sthaviravadins（Sthiravada） Mahasanghikas schools. It’s called split in foundation. Then the Buddhists split again and again, at this time the Buddhism is called Schools Buddhism or Abhidhamma Buddhism. Due to different viewpoints of Schools Buddhism’s religious teachings, Schools has different points of view on dharma-kāya, according to《異部宗輪論》, this article analyzes and generalizes Schools’s difference on the viewpoint of Buddha-kāya. Mahasanghikas faction claim perfect Buddha’s body.Buddha-kāya is no frailty. Sarvastivadins faction advocate ordinary Buddha’s body was an actual man living in this world like any other human being and subject to all the frailties of a mortal body. Nāgārjuna Bodhisattva born in the second century, he had a longevity and was erudite. He learned Hinayanists and Mahayanists Buddhism when he grow up, and he preached Mahayana Buddhism finally. To reorganize 《大智度論》regarding II Buddha-kāya of Nāgārjuna Bodhisattva: he reveal with Buddha’s Rupa-kāya, he is eternal.；The Tathagatas dharma-kāya have no origin, they are ever existing and inconceivable. He is shown to people with the Rupa-kāya . Tathagatas dharma-kāya is protean and miraculous, he is all-knowing and omnipotent. The Lotus Sutra Chapter Sixteen: The Life Span of the Tathagatarecord: Sakyamuni has become a Buddha long time ago; the Buddha we knew who has become a Buddha under the bodhi tree was a reveal of Sakyamuni , Buddha is eternal and deathless. Buddhāvatasaka mahāvaipulya sūtra of Vairocana tathā-gata.From this sutra has sorted out three key points:：1、Vairocana tathāgata isWorld of Lotuses。2、tathāgata Buddha-kāya When his body stretched out innumerable rays of light.（skt.Amitābhha）。3、Vairocana tathāgata is same as Sakyamuni。 To generalize Buddha-kāya of Mahayana primary stage : he is dharma-kāya with glorious radiance, longevity and miracle. The key point of turning Buddha-kāya into mystification and holy are time and distance

Resumen

The aim of this work is to understand some basic context of the Buddha's teachings and context in which it arises. At the same time we are trying our understanding at least partially shield the concepts and ideas of European tradition through which Buddhism is usually interpreted unproblematically. The problem of uniting traditions remain open and therefore this work does not aim to eliminate these problems, but we are only at grouping. In this work we are trying to draw attention to europocentrism perception of the Buddhist teachings, and based on this fact, at least in part, to interpret the Buddha's thoughts. Keywords Buddhism, Buddha, Eastern religions, Hinduism, India

Resumen

This dissertation examines Japanese conceptions of and devotional attitudes toward Śākyamuni (the historical Buddha) during the twelfth to fourteenth centuries. It focuses in particular on a new interest in Śākyamuni that arose in the twelfth century, and argues that this interest was a response to two developments: the appearance of the belief that the world had entered Buddhism’s final age, and the increasingly acute sense that Japan existed at the periphery of the Buddhist world. These two developments evoked in some clerics a sense of distance from the origins of Buddhism and a feeling of helplessness since the final age was a time when soteriological progress was thought to be particularly difficult. Japanese Buddhists were thus faced with a problem: how to proceed given these disadvantageous circumstances? Some clerics found comfort in theories about the Buddha Amida’s ability to take humans away from this world to his pure land, while others turned instead to the Mahāyāna Buddhist idea that humans are born enlightened (and thus need not worry about their personal salvation after all). The monks and texts at the center of my research instead looked to Śākyamuni in an attempt to reconnect with the source of the Buddhist tradition, thereby countering the inevitable decline of Buddhism by linking themselves to, and in some cases recreating, the imagined golden age that Śākyamuni and his Indian environs represented.

Palmo, KS. "Gender and the soteriology debate in Buddhism: Is a female Buddha possible in non-esoteric Buddhism?" Thesis, 2013. https://eprints.utas.edu.au/17559/1/WholePalmo-_thesis.pdf.

Texto completo

Resumen

Is a Female Buddha Possible in Non-Esoteric Buddhism? Buddhism today can broadly be divided into two forms: Tantric (esoteric) and non-Tantric (non-esoteric) Buddhism. Tantric Buddhism‘s answer to the above question is unequivocally positive: it never questioned the possibility of a female Buddha. In non-Tantric Buddhism, this question has long been a subject of debate, and thus far, it is assumed that a female Buddha is impossible. In my view, this latter conclusion is problematic and is not well supported in the traditional canonical literature. Therefore, the focus of this thesis is to further investigate the relationship between non-Tantric Buddhism‘s perspective on gender and soteriology. I will argue that the premises employed to rule out the possibility of a female Buddha in non-Tantric Buddhism are flawed, and that such a view cannot be attributed to the Buddha himself. I will advance my argument based on two pieces of evidence: (1) that the premises used to rule out a female Buddha are not supported by the Buddha‘s own teachings as recorded in canonical texts, and (2) such premises are employed only in the commentaries, and therefore in the hermeneutic works of later scholars. Of an enormous corpus of literature representing the views of many different Śrāvakayāna and Mahāyāna schools in several languages, my research will focus on Theravāda and Sarvāstivāda sources to present the Śrāvakayāna perspective in the first half of the thesis, and non-Tantric Mahāyāna sources in order to present the Mahāyāna perspectives in the second half.

This study explores actual cases in a case-study manner, and builds the Fa-rectification Buddhism information of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III on the site of the Buddhist institution Tayuan Puti Chinkang Dhamma Center for a period of four months. During the three research periods, the pages of the website of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III were actually disseminated through several media platforms and imported into Google’s website to measure Google Analytics software for measuring software. The website's page analyzes the effectiveness of the pageviews, time spent on pages, and bounce rate, and makes predictions for the next period in an attempt to explore the feasibility of the transmission of Buddhist Dhamma information on various platforms. After practical operations, it was found that most Buddhist platforms have “strong exclusionary” information on other Buddhist institutions. Overall, the Facebook community is the most capable of accepting the release of external information, and finds that one month after the launch of a daily intensive information , It is predicted that 1144.96% of the pageviews will be upgraded. Even if the delivery of the information is stopped for one month, it is still 107.72% higher than the original pageview forecast. So , It is expected that this study will provide a reference for a more effective promotion method for Buddhist information propaganda personnel.

The Hua Yan Sutra is one of the great Buddhism Scriptures. It describes the first Dharma teachings given by Shakyamuni Buddha after his attaining enlightenment. With this beginning, the Vairocana Buddha and Shakyamuni Buddha were “amalgamated” with each other and became one unity. This is to say that the world of Dharma and the world of sentient beings, from that time on, have become one. The Hua Yan Sutra encompasses three major sections and they are (1) the mode and condition of buddha-hood; (2) the practices of bodhisattvas and (3) the journey of SHAN TSAI TONG ZHI, the Man of Fortune and Kindness, seeking, and learning from, fifty-three enlightened Dharma practitioners. In essence, this Sutra describes that, through the disciplines of the Dharma motto of “BELIEVE, UNDERSTAND, PRACTISE, PROVE”, one would, and could, cultivate for the ultimate goal of obtaining buddha-hood. This thesis focuses on Vairocana Buddha in the Hua Yan Sutra. First of all, what is the origin of Vairocana Buddha? Is he just an ideal, imaginary buddha since he is not a historical figure? In this thesis, it points out that in the world of sentient beings there are many phenomena, being beyond human’s knowledge and comprehension, which can only be understood through Dharma observation, meditation and wisdom. Hence, although Vairocana Buddha is not mentioned in history, he exists. Similarly, on the question of when the Dharma teachings were first given, there are two theories in the “Five Times-Eight Teachings” discussions: “Hua Yan time” and “Deer Park time”. Which one is correct? The answer is both are considered correct. The reason lies in the concept of “all-sides-merge-into-one”. The “Hua Yan time” is when Vairocana Buddha instructed the Hua Yan Sutra to Maha-bodhisattva, whereas the “Deer Park time” is when Shakyamuni Buddha gave Dharma teachings to five monk disciples after he had attained enlightenment. One (Vairocana Buddha) is from the Dharma world and the other (Shakyamuni Buddha) is from the sentient-being world and, as mentioned earlier, these two Buddhas and the two worlds have “amalgamated” and become one, hence, there is no difference between the two theories. If we view theology and history separately and focus only on either one, not only would we fall into a hang-up situation for arguing, and determining, what, and who, the “ideal buddha” or the “historical buddha” is, but also we would not understand the true meanings of Buddhism Scriptures. Only by combining the theology and history would we appreciate the greatness of the Hua Yan Sutra in a new light. At such, on how to gain such appreciation and understanding, this thesis presents three major concepts for discussion and they are “Oneness of Vairocana Buddha and Shakyamuni Buddha”, “One Thought Encompasses Ten Time Cycles” and “Connectedness of the Obvious and the Invisible”. Additionally, there is no difference in meaning on the words Rocana and Vairocana – that is, Rocana Buddha and Vairocana Buddha. They are a duality. The titles appear different but both Buddhas are one and the same. Traditionally, the former is considered a Meditation Deity from the Causal Vehicle (for both Individual Vehicle and Universal Vehicle) sect and the latter, a Meditation Deity from the Diamond Vehicle sect. This theory is incorrect. In the Hua Yan Sutra, there are records of both Buddhas; only they are recorded in different versions at different times. Besides, labeling Vairocana Buddha as a “Dharma buddha” and Rocana Buddha as a “sentient-being buddha” is the result of the scholars’ and theologians’ studies and research in later periods. According to historical records, Vairocana Buddha and Rocana Buddha are both “Dharma Buddha”. This is best evidenced by the two-thousand-years old records on Yu Lin Stone Cave; in it, the “Enlightened Dharma Rocana Buddha”, not “Sentient-Being Rocana Buddha”, is mentioned. Since a “Dharma buddha” is considered formless, imageless and motionless, how do we explain the existence of Vairocana Buddha then? This thesis points out, instead of through speech instructions, the method of Vairocana Buddha’s teachings of Dharma to bodhisattvas is, under the state of Profound Meditation, by “emanating lights”. Through these “lights”, the bodhisattvas, with venerable praises of Vairocana Buddha, rapturously received the Dharma teachings. The result is that the Hua Yan Sutra is a sutra with vast and wonderful records of bodhisattvas’ discourses on Bodhi Mind and Bodhisattva Practices. As this method of “emanating lights” is non-verbal, hence, beyond descriptions of words, it makes Vairocana Buddha appear relatively invisible. Perhaps this is the reason why, in the Hwa Yan Sutra, Vairocana Buddha has long been neglected by scholars and theologians. The majority of the Hua Yan Sutra richly deals with many auspicious and magnificent phenomena in the world of Vairocana Buddha, the enlightened Dharma world. The profound wisdom and trueness shine abundantly throughout the entire Sutra, and the tremendous amounts of important Dharma thoughts and deeds contained within deserve great veneration and deep pondering. The Hua Yan Sutra is indeed one of the great treasures among Buddhism Scriptures. The abstract of this thesis is thus described and concluded.

Resumen

This dissertation is a comparative, interdisciplinary, and transregional study of the connections between textual and iconographic representations of the Buddha Shakyamuni’s extended biography, and a re-assessment of its role and significance for the spread of Buddhism from India through Central Asia to China between the third century BCE to around the sixth century CE. My research relies on diverse sources: early Buddhist canonical sources; the earliest textual versions of the Buddha’s life stories in Chinese, Sanskrit, and Pali; art historical and archaeological material remains from early stupa sites and cave temples in India, Central Asia, and China; and also other visual material such as Buddha images, stelae, votive stupas, portable shrines, etc. Utilizing a multidisciplinary approach, I propose a new interpretative framework to re-evaluate the connections between the Buddha’s life stories and his body. In this dissertation, I suggest a new approach to “reading” the Buddha’s extended biography, which I posit is not merely a story of his life, but essentially is a story of his body. With that thesis in mind, I also shed new light on the role and function of the Buddha’s biography in the production and use of images, proposing a new hypothesis to re-examine the design and construction of early stupa sites and cave temples. This study suggests a common iconographical programme that lasted for several centuries and demonstrates how this programme connects to the story of the Buddha and his body.
