Neurosciences - A neurosurgeon's perspective. (1/39)

The advancements in the field of science in the past fifty years have highlighted the need to integrate all fields of human endeavours and have emphasised interdependency of various disciplines. The separation of humanities, therefore, from neurosciences is a preposterous practical joke on all thinking men. With the human genome project on the anvil, biotechnology is making significant headway holding out promise for organ regeneration. Macro evolution is over, but micro-evolution continues in the brain. Neural Darwinism thus, continues to evolve as long as individual remains conscious and has memory. In the milieu of widely varying internal physiological mechanisms and external stimuli, an alternative theory to preprogrammed directionalism is proposed by three mechanisms namely developmental variation and selection, experiential selections and reentrant signalling. Reentrant signalling reorients and correlates the external inputs leading to psychic development preceding the development of consciousness. The cholinergic and aminergic neuro-modelling systems are well suited to serve as value systems. The main achievement of consciousness is to bring together the many categorizations involved in perceptions into a SCENE. Another part of evolution involved capacity of reentrant signalling to be guided by a value system where it is provided with a lot of choices. With 10(13) neurons and 10(16) connections, freedom of choice may manifest into a 'Buddha' or a 'Hitler'. As part of the evolutionary process, it was interesting how capacity to categorize the need to worship by referring to environment outside evolved into a search within our minds. As the next stage of evolution, neuroscience may, thus, serve as the next gateway to understanding the mind and soul.  (+info)

Words of Tohkaku Wada: medical heritage in Japan. (2/39)

The origins of Japan's medical ideas, which are deeply rooted in its religion, culture and history, are not widely understood in medical societies of other countries. We have taken up the task of summarising this tradition here so that some insight can be gained into the unique issues that characterise the practice of medicine in Japan. We borrow from the sayings of Tohkaku Wada, a medical philosopher of late eighteenth-century Japan, for a look at Japanese medical tradition. Wada's medical thought was very much reflective of the Buddhism, Zen, and swordsmanship that informed eighteenth-century philosophy in Japan. His central concepts were "chu" and "sei", that is, complete and selfless dedication to the patient and the practice of medicine. This paper explores Wada's thought, explaining it mainly from the standpoint of Japanese traditional culture.  (+info)

Religious beliefs and practice, and alcohol use in Thai men. (3/39)

Buddhism, the Thai state religion, teaches that use of intoxicants should be avoided. Nonetheless, many Thai people drink alcohol, and a proportion are alcohol-dependent or hazardous or harmful drinkers. This study examines the relationship between Buddhist upbringing and beliefs and alcohol use disorders in Thai men. Three groups, comprising 144 non/infrequent/light drinkers, 77 hazardous/ harmful drinkers and 91 alcohol dependents were interviewed regarding their early religious life and current religious practices and beliefs. No protective association was shown between early religious life and later alcohol use disorders; indeed, having lived as a boy in a temple for a period was commoner in those with adult alcohol problems. Few subjects reported frequent involvement in current religious activities (9, 8 and 6% in the non/infrequent/light drinkers, hazardous/harmful drinkers, and alcohol dependents respectively). Hazardous/harmful drinkers [odds ratio (OR) = 0.4, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.2-0.9] and alcohol dependents (OR = 0.5, 95% CI = 0.2-0.9) were less likely to report being moderately to strongly religious, than were non/infrequent/light drinkers. Understanding the association between religious beliefs and drinking behaviour can potentially assist in the development of prevention and treatment programmes.  (+info)

Chinese and South Asian religious institutions and HIV prevention in New York City. (5/39)

Religious institutions in Asian immigrant communities are in a unique position to confront the challenges of the HIV epidemic for the populations they serve. However, there has been little research on whether these institutions are willing or able to take a role in HIV prevention. This article reports on findings from a qualitative study of three Asian immigrant religious institutions in New York City (a Buddhist temple, a Hindu temple, an Islamic center/mosque) that are part of a larger study of Asian immigrant community institutions and their response to the HIV epidemic. Several prominent themes arose that formed the basis of a preliminary theoretical framework describing the way Asian immigrant religious institutions may evaluate their role in HIV prevention. The interview data indicate that the institutions take a stance of "conservative innovation," weighing their role as keepers of morality and religious tradition against the changing needs of their communities and then adjusting their practices or positions incrementally (to varying degrees) to stay responsive and relevant.  (+info)

Therapeutic perspectives of human embryonic stem cell research versus the moral status of a human embryo--does one have to be compromised for the other? (6/39)

Stem cells are unspecialized cells able to divide and produce copies of themselves and having the potential to differentiate, i.e. to produce other cell types in the body. Because of the latter ability, the scientists investigate their possible use in regenerative medicine. Especially embryonic stem cells have huge therapeutic potential because they can give rise to every cell type in the body as compared to stem cells from certain adult tissues which can only differentiate into a limited range of cell types. For this reason scientists stress the importance of embryonic stem cell research. However, this research raises sensitive ethical and religious arguments, which are balanced against possible great benefit of such research for the patients suffering from so far incurable diseases. The objective of this literature review is to present the main arguments in favor and against human embryonic stem cell research. Since the sensitivity of the latter issue to a large extent stems from the position of predominant religions in a given society, the positions of the main religions regarding embryo research are also presented. CONCLUSION: There is no consensus regarding ethical aspects of human embryonic stem cell research. The article presents both the arguments supporting human embryonic stem cell research and the arguments opposing it.  (+info)

Interoceptive awareness in experienced meditators. (8/39)

 (+info)

Buddhism experienced rapid growth in Taiwan following the war, which has been attributed to the immigration of several Buddhist teachers from Communist China after the defeat of the nationalists in the Chinese Civil War and the growth of Humanistic Buddhism (人間佛教). Humanistic Buddhism promotes a direct relationship between Buddhist communities and the wider society. Also known as Socially Engaged Buddhism, its focuses on the improvement of society through participation in aspects such as environmental conservation. Humanistic Buddhism is the major distinguishing trait of modern Taiwanese Buddhism.[10]. Humanistic Buddhism traces its roots to Chinese monk Venerable Taixu (1890-1947), who wanted to reform the continuous focus on ritual and ceremony.[5] Taixu promoted more direct contributions to society through the Buddhist community and was a significant influence for Master Ying Shun, who is generally considered to be the figure who brought Humanistic Buddhism to Taiwan.[11]. These two ...
Series Descripton: What happens after Buddhism? This radical question opens up a new and fresh horizon that will be explored by our Buddhist teachers.. Episode Description: In this opening session, Roshi Joan Halifax and Stephen Batchelor discuss the meaning of the topic of this program, After Buddhism. Roshi Joan introduces a vision of a non-Buddhistic Buddhism, or Dharma beyond sectarianism. She then describes the format of this program as it will unfold over the course of the week. Stephen then elaborates his own approach to a Buddhism outside of the container of creedal thinking..

Hi. Welcome to my course on Buddhism and Modern Psychology. Im Robert Wright and Im here at Princeton University where, for the past couple of years, Ive been teaching the seminar that this course will be based on. Now, Ive never taught an online course before, so Im very excited about this. Its kind of an adventure for me. And I want to thank you all for choosing to be part of it. I want to spend the f, the first segment of this first lecture just giving you an overview of, of the main themes of the course and then Im going to talk a little bit about myself and what got me interested in this. Now one question you could ask about a course called Buddhism and Modern Psychology is which Buddhism are were talking about. After all, as with other religions, there are varieties of Buddhism. Just as there are different denominations of Christianity. There are different versions of Buddhism in Asia, and in addition to that, in, in recent decades, weve seen the emergence of something that some ...
So we-- we religious people deny-- deny the existence of the teaching, you know. We-- I say there is no Buddhism actually, I say. And those who believe in Buddhism will say there is no Buddhism. And it is true for us. But if a scientist say there is no Buddhism, that is big mistake [laughs, laughter]. We can say there is no Buddhism. If some philosopher says: Philosophy include everything. We can establish, you know, authority of human being by ourselves without any god or religion, that is big, big [laughs] mistake. But only those who believe in our teaching can say there is no Buddhism. When there is no Buddhism, you attained enlightenment. But if someone say-- talking about Buddhism all over the night, drinking beer [laughs], smoking cigarettes [laughs, laughter], is Buddhism. Oh, this is Buddhism. There is no-- actually there is no such a tradition of Buddhism. This is Buddhism. Thats not, you know, Buddhism. Those who practice-- those who participate in cosmic self, self-use of ...
east asia never have been Buddhist countries, or never have been buddhism dominating countries. in China, Korea the main political religion(philosophy) had been always counfucism, not Buddhism. for hundred years, Buddhism was womens religion, except some scholors and literaties like Zen practitioners and huayan sutra study, the literaties always kept their buddhism in the private area, especially Ming-QIng dynasty in China and Josen dynasty in Korea, so..frankly speaking we east asiasn have no concept like born into Christianlike most of westerners or Born into Buddhistslike south east asian countries. take my fammily for example, those who go to temple pray regualry are always my grand mother and mother. whereas my grand father and father dont, but after retirement, they started hwadu Zen practition and reading diamond sutra along with many counfucism canons like Lun yu, Da Xue i dont know if their attitude for buddhism is faith or not. and sometimes they would go to temple to ...
If your kids love dinosaurs they will love this story of Red Dinosaur who is learning about Buddhism. - Red Dinosaur Learns About Buddhism - Buddhism at BellaOnline
Starting in the 1950s, Syngman Rhee and others worked to further divide and weaken the Buddhist Sangha in the country. Rhee campaigned in 1954 against the so-called Japanized Buddhists. Western education and scholarship, and the empowerment of women and the poor, caused divisions among Koreans. Specifically, a deep rift opened between married priests and celibate monks, a carryover from Japanese Buddhisms influence during the occupation period, though there had been calls for an end to celibacy from some Korean monks before Japans annexation of the Korean peninsula. The differences were so great that fistfights over the control of temples became frequent. Monks, mostly belonging to the celibate Jogye order, threatened to kill themselves. Many of them were against the married clergy. As the Buddhist riots continued, the influence of Buddhism lessened. Buddhism continued to lose followers to Christian missionaries, who were able to capitalize on these weaknesses. From the 1960s onward, ...
The incomparable loftiness of the monk figure-placid and disinterested, having renounced desire-leads many to think of Buddhism as a religion detached from all worldly concerns, especially those of economy. But Buddhism has always addressed a continuum of human flourishing and good, creating what has been referred to as an economy of salvation. Metaphors of economy-even of debt-abound in Buddhist texts and, in many ways, Buddhism came to be fundamentally shaped by economic conditions and considerations of the era in which it originated.. Depending on material support from moneylenders, the Buddhist establishment from its outset did not seek to hamper the business that made it possible. Devout merchants (setthi) and householders (gahapatis)-controllers of property, moneylenders, often even usurers-were the primary supporters of the early monastic community. Giving material support (amisa-dana) to the monkhood thus ranks in Buddhist doctrine as the most effective way for laypeople to generate ...

Global civilization and universal responsibility both depend on meaningful dialogue among world religions, such as Buddhism and Islam. Such dialogue can occur on the level of religious leaders, as well as on the level of the general public. Moreover, it can occur on the level of generalizations, as well as the level of well-documented specific detail.. The leaders and followers of Buddhism and Islam, however, have been largely unaware, in the past, of each others beliefs. This situation is slowly changing at present, but requires greater effort. In this context, the Internet is becoming an increasingly valuable medium for spreading information and dialoguing, particularly among the public, and even more particularly among young people. Users of the Internet, however, are faced with the formidable task of sifting through the mass of often conflicting information available, in order to locate reliable, unbiased sources. In meeting this challenge, outlines of similarities between Sufism and ...

Swans at the Lake will be the first television documentary to comprehensively explore the American encounter with Buddhism over 150 years in the U.S. Director Gaetano Kazuo Maida, who is the Executive Director of the Buddhist Film Foundation and the International Buddhist Film Festival, envisions a panoramic film series focused on the fastest growing spiritual tradition in America, and its influence on the arts, psychology, neuroscience and social activism.. Maida will explore key issues through stories told by leading teachers, artists and critics, and by examining books and artistic expression through the years. He asks: What do Buddhist traditions offer now in the face of world conflicts? Who were and are the key men and women in American Buddhism? How have Buddhist literary and art contributors influenced the American experience? Has Americas egalitarian/individualistic ethos affected Buddhist cultures elsewhere? Maida will also explore the historically important transfer of authority in ...
In the Buddhist countries of southern Asia, there never arose any serious differences on the fundamentals of Buddhism. All these countries - Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Laos, Burma, Thailand, have accepted the principles of the Theravada school and any differences there might be between the various schools is restricted to minor matters.. The earliest available teachings of the Buddha are to be found in Pali literature and belongs to the school of the Theravadins, who may be called the most orthodox school of Buddhism. This school admits the human characteristics of the Buddha, and is characterised by a psychological understanding of human nature; and emphasises a meditative approach to the transformation of consciousness. The teaching of the Buddha according to this school is very plain. He asks us to abstain from all kinds of evil, to accumulate all that is good and to purify our mind . These can be accomplished by The Three Trainings: the development of ethical conduct, meditation and ...
Buddhism was founded by Gautama Buddha in the 5th century B.C. Buddhism revolves around the Dharma, Reincarnation, and the theory of Karma.
Buddhism is the philosophy of non-harm, of love and compassion for all sentient life. Siddhartha Gotama realised enlightenment, the true state of knowing at the age of 35, sitting under the famed Bodhi tree in northern India some 2,550 years ago. He shared his wisdom for another 45 years and gained many disciples and followers. He passed into what is termed parinirvana at the age of 80. He came to be know as Shakyamuni Buddha-the founder of Buddhism.. His teachings are founded on the realisation that all life is in suffering, that has identified causes, and a way to extinguish that suffering, by following, what he called the eight-fold path… these became known as the Four Noble Truths.. He explained how it is we are born, age and die in a relentless cycle called the Wheel of Life and by attaining enlightenment, the awareness of the true nature of ourselves, we can break that cycle and attain nirvana. He explained that our thoughts and actions determine what our future lives will be like, how ...
Jasbaku, as a physicists and Buddhist, I feel that its not really faith that would lead physicists to the truth seen by the Buddha, but its the same old way of meditation. The only faith needed is that meditation can lead one to see the truth. But nowadays there are many secular evidence of meditation being good for the mind that it reduces the role of that faith. Many physicists still view having faith in religion clouds the mind and make one deluded and self brain wash to see what one wants to see. Thus, it might be better to let secular research lead the path towards confidence in the power of meditation. And the subject of investigation and how to do it can be guided by the parallels between physics and Buddhism. Using convinent means to guide one to the truth. The guide is needed because one can still go to wrong view even with meditative experiences as seen in brahmajala sutta. Then again there is the faith element again. That this person without our modern equipment claims to have found ...

Conference overview: ​. Neuroscience, genetics, artificial intelligence, and other new technologies are expanding the scope of our collective knowledge and revolutionizing our society. These changes further shape our personal and spiritual lives: our happiness, our well-being, our enlightenment. Buddhisms long advocacy of technologies of awareness makes it instinctive to embrace these emerging technologies and incorporating them as an aid to attain greater wisdom. However, more often than not, these very technologies contribute to increasing levels of stress and anxiety for many in our generation. We envision that mental well-being should be facilitated with cutting-edge technology and principles of mindfulness. This year, Woodenfish Foundation is hosting its third annual Buddhism, Science, and Future conference in Shenzhen to both cultivate the link between mindfulness and technology, and make more accessible the discourse of mental health to Chinese families.. We are honored to convene ...

Welcome to Liberty Buddhism. Our journey towards enlightenment begins with the understanding that everything is interconnected. Everything is impermanent and interdependent. If you try to point out the essence of any thing, you will find that there is none.. Take fire for instance. Fire is impermanent. It is the rapid oxidation of a material in the exothermic chemical process of combustion, releasing heat, light, and various reaction products. It requires heat, fuel, oxygen, and a chain reaction. The flame is the visible portion of the fire. Depending on the substances alight, and any impurities outside, the color of the flame and the fires intensity will be different.. Similarly, look at a human. Humans are impermanent. Most of the cells in our bodies are different from year to year. While some cells last longer than others, they all eventually die. Like every fire, every human is unique. Even though twins share the same genetic code, their genes are expressed differently based on ...

Eastern Spirituality - definitions of Hindu & Buddhist spiritual terms. Many terms are matched to Hinduism and Buddhism video, audio & text links so they can be experienced in action.
Buddhism is often referred to as a philosophy or a way of life rather than a religion. In reality it is both. Although the Buddha was not a philosopher in the way the term is commonly understood, a Buddhist philosophy developed from his teachings that is profound, elusive, and subtle. Buddhism is also a complex, and multi-dimensional religious tradition that is far more diverse in traditions, practices, and doctrines than is generally realized. This unit introduces students to the rich tapestry of traditions, doctrines and practices that are found throughout the Buddhist world: both in their various traditional and modern contexts. In the traditional context we look at the history and practices of the major Buddhist schools and consider the claim of Buddhism being the first world religion. In the modern context we look at how adaptions of ancient Buddhist practices such as mindfulness and engaged Buddhism are impacting on contemporary worldviews. The unit also includes key approaches to ...

Thank you for this very interesting article. As a longterm Buddhist practitioner, I was struck that sutras stating that a Buddha can only be born a Brahmana or Kshatriya and can never come from any of the lower castes may have been taken historically to support caste hierarchy in Sinhala Buddhism. This is similar to what has happened in some parts of the Buddhist world on the basis of sutric statements that a woman can never become a samyaksambuddha: there being born female is regarded as substandard and females are automatically seen as inferior to males on the basis of it. Similar too are sutric statements that the native land of a samyaksambuddha is always Jambudvipa (commonly understood to be India), but this does not seem to bother the non-Indian Buddhist males who look down on women!. Siddhartha Gautama renounced contemporary caste-hierarchy in setting forth on his spiritual quest, and spiritual elitism assumed on the basis of caste is one of those customs that a stream-winner would ...
Nevertheless, despite its contemporary skew All is Change is still illuminating as a guide to the literature of Eurasias cultural development after the rise of the world religions. Though not an expert himself, Suttin does a good job of offering bite-sized summaries of the current state of scholarship in regards to questions about the possible influence of Buddhism upon Christianity, and Christianity upon Buddhism. The reality seems to be that the exact answer to most of these questions are not extractable from the morass of human history, the possibility remains that features of Buddhism such as monasticism might have played a role in serving as an indirect template for early Christianity. Or, inversely, that Nestorian Christianity, or religions influenced by this eastern variant of Christianity such as Manichaeanism, may have played a role in the genesis of Pure Land Buddhism, whose evangelical flavor and theistic bent have long been observed by Westerners as at least superficially ...
Buddhist philosophers argue that there is no general entity, such as a universal, which is responsible for the fact that we can apply a term, such as pot, to more than one particular. They argue this because they believe that only momentary particulars exist. Dividing the world into enduring substantial objects that can be classified according to their differing natures is at best a useful illusion, according to Buddhists. The issue then becomes how to explain the fact that we refer to seemingly enduring entities in our language. Buddhists claim that when we use the term pot as a general concept, we refer to every individual that is not a non-pot. This is the distinctive feature of the Buddhist apoha theory, as mentioned in the above quote. The advantage of this theory for Buddhists is that it does not require any general essence that all pots have to share. Instead, the term pot refers as the result of a double negation... ...

So this week weve been learning a ton about Buddhism and Kung Fu. Now to be honest, I really didnt know much about Buddhism other than karma and the fact that Madonna is Buddhist. As many of the boys on the trip would say, ooooh jeepers!. So anyways, we met with a Monk and he pretty much told us everything there was to know about Buddhism, in a nut shell of course. The founder- he decides to meditate for nine years, umm let me repeat that NINE YEARS. I can hardly sit still in church for an hour and this guy goes and meditates for that long? Thats commitment my friend.. Ive learned three very importand things about Buddhism. Here we go:. 1- Buddha is not their god, hes a role model. Often times people (including Buddhists) think that Buddha is someone that you worship, and thats not true at all. Hes just a guy who really knows what hes doinga, kind of like a Saint for the Catholic religion. You see a bunch of statues at Saint Thomas of Saints that were role models, but you dont ...
In your case, if youre using social media to ease loneliness, its like postponing the resolution of suffering to a latter date. Instead of focusing on the cause of your loneliness, youre focusing on social media. You think you need social media to ease loneliness. In reality you most probably dont need social media ... you just need to get rid of loneliness. Once youll get rid of loneliness, youll probably stop spending time on social media. What youre experiencing is normal suffering due to loneliness. Psychologists will tell you its normal as long as it does not interfere negatively on your physical or mental health. Most people do something to ease feelings of loneliness (make new friends, read, do sports, watch TV, ..). But thats not curing loneliness. Its like having a disease and alleviating its symptoms. This is no different than being depressive and drinking alcohol to ease the depression. Off course its not dysfunctional as drinking alcohol, but the mechanism is the same: you ...

Buddhist Diet Plan - Have Vegan Diet for Healthier and Happier Body. Buddhist diet plan has connected diet with karma. Buddhism is a vegan diet plan.
An idealized view of the lifestyle of a Buddhist monk might be described according to the doctrinal demand for emotional detachment and, ultimately, the cessation of all desire. Yet monks are also enjoined to practice compassion, a powerful emotion and equally lofty ideal, and live with every other human feeling-love, hate, jealousy, ambition-while relating to other monks and the lay community. In this important ethnography of Buddhism in Sri Lanka, Jeffrey Samuels takes an unprecedented look at how emotion determines and influences the commitments that laypeople and monastics make to each other and to the Buddhist religion in general. By focusing on multimoment histories, Samuels highlights specific junctures in which ideas about recruitment, vocation, patronage, and institution-building are dynamically negotiated and refined. Positing a nexus between aesthetics and affect, he illustrates not only how aesthetic responses trigger certain emotions, but also how personal and shared emotions, at ...

The Silk Roads were fundamental in the dissemination of religions throughout Eurasia. Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism and Manicheism spread across this vast region via both land and maritime routes, as travellers absorbed elements of the new cultures they encountered and carried them back to their homelands with them. Thus, for example, Hinduism and subsequently Islam were introduced into Indonesia and Malaysia by Silk Roads merchants travelling the maritime trade routes from the Indian subcontinent and Arabian Peninsula. Similarly, Buddhism was introduced to parts of China, South East Asia and the Korean Peninsula from its origins in the Indian Subcontinent. Some of those travelling the Silk Roads returned home after completing their endeavours whilst others settled permanently, constructing their own religious sites and monuments many of which survive today.. Amongst some of the first cultural elements to reach the Korean Peninsula from the western regions of Central ...
Recorded history began in what is now Central Java in the 7th century AD. The writing, as well as Hinduism and Buddhism, were brought by the Indians from South Asia, at the time of Central Java was a centre of power in Java back then. In 664 AD, the Chinese monk Hui-neng visited the Javanese port city he called Hēlíng (訶陵) or Ho-ling, where he translated various Buddhist scriptures into Chinese with the assistance of the Javanese Buddhist monk Jñānabhadra. It is not precisely known what is meant by the name Hēlíng. It used to be considered the Chinese transcription of Kalinga but it now most commonly thought of as a rendering of the name Areng. Hēlíng is believed to be located somewhere between Semarang and Jepara. The first dated inscription in Central Java was the Canggal from 732 AD (or 654 Saka). This inscription, which hailed from Kedu, is written in Sanskrit in Pallava script. It is written that a Shaivite king named Sri Sanjaya established a kingdom called Mataram. Under the ...
What if spirituality as we know it, does not exist on the plane of scientific fields of enquiry? What if looking into spirituality with a scientific gaze is like trying to read Greek, knowing only Latin. I think a lot of people are starting to agree that spirituality is socially constructed. That does not make it bad or useless though, by any stretch of the imagination. Does our current state of affairs mean that any belief or practice which is not scietifically validated is to be discarded? Ultimately, art therapy will do what the Dalai Lama is doing with Buddhism. It will surrender to science and science will prove art therapys foundation in objectively veryfiable information. The Dalai Lama is surrendering Buddhist monks to sciences fMRI machines so that the effects of meditation can be examined in the brain. The hope and the data suggest that meditation changes your brain in a positive way. The hope and the data suggest that there is scientific support in favour of a Buddhist or meditative ...
The historical drawing of grand master Bodhidharma in the ShaoLin Temple - a memorial stone Carving.. The Grand Master was born in the south part of India. He came to China to spread Buddhism in approximately 520 B.C., the time of Northern and Southern Dynasties. He spent 9 years in a cave of the ShaoLin Temple to search the truth of life, and he was the first grand Master of Zen School Teaching of Buddhism.. The Book of The Tendon Changing Classic was written by the Grand Master, so is at least 1500 years old.

Also only he who had been with the truth or Dao was able to treat all human beings and all living creatures as his own children, and was able to write down the truth of life.. 2) History of the TCC.

My names Gesshin. Im a Soto Zen nun living in Japan. I was born in 1986, so I wouldnt say being a Zen nun is an easy or natural thing for me to do at all. I spent about four and a half years in monasteries, not thinking or writing about anything, so now that Im out in the world again Im thinking and writing about a lot. This blog started out as a way to communicate with friends and family back home and post silly pictures of weird Japanese things, but it kind of became a blog about Buddhism because Buddhism is the only thing I really do or care about, besides talking to my mom and reading novels.

As of April 2012 married Hindu women have been forcibly kidnapped and married to Muslims, and are left without legal recourse due to inability to prove their previous marriage. It also makes it difficult for Hindus to obtain the Computerized National Identity Card.. The increasing Islamization has caused many Hindus to leave Hinduism and seek emancipation by converting to other faiths such as Buddhism and Christianity.. Minority members of the Pakistan National Assembly have alleged that Hindus were being hounded and humiliated to force them to leave Pakistan. Hindu women have been known to be victims of kidnapping and forced conversion to Islam.. In the aftermath of the Babri Masjid demolition Pakistani Hindus faced riots. Mobs attacked five Hindu temples in Karachi and set fire to 25 temples in towns across the province of Sindh. Shops owned by Hindus were also attacked in Sukkur. Hindu homes and temples were also attacked in Quetta. In 2005, 32 Hindus were killed by firing from the government ...

The view of Tendrel (Tibetan), that everything that arises is mutually interconnected, can be considered Buddhist Philosophys quintessential contribution to the world. This view originated in 5th Century BC in India by Buddha Sakyamuni and was investigated and debated by the Buddhist scholars at the Nalanda University, North India, right up until its destruction in the 12th Century AD. In the 8th Century AD the Tendrel-view together with other facets of Buddhism was introduced in Tibet, which became the academic basis of an extraordinary scientific and method-orientated tradition. The expositions of Tendrel survived and had thrived in Tibet up until the middle of the last century, when the Chinese communists took over the government of Tibet. The events that followed, forced Buddhist Scholars of Tibet to flee to India and elsewhere ...

The Enlightened Kitchen: Fresh Vegetable Dishes from the Temples of Japan by Mari Fujii is a beautifully presented, easy introduction to the world of shojin ryori (or shoujin ryouri 精進料理), the highly refined vegan cuisine developed by Buddhist monks in Japan. Ive often been asked by readers of this site and other people to recommend a good shojin ryori book: While there are many such books in Japanese, I havent really been comfortable recommending a book in English so far. Shojin ryori tends to use a lot of ingredients that are only available in Japan - even more so than regular Japanese cooking - and it is a haute cuisine that requires a lot of skill.. The Enlightened Kitchen, on the other hand, is filled with nonintimidating recipes, that any amateur cook with decent access to Japanese ingredients could tackle. Some of the vegetables and dried ingredients may trip you up, but its easy to think up suitable substitions. The author, Mari Fujii, is married to a Buddhist monk, and has ...

Detail: Within the Buddhist traditions of the Himalayas, three bodhisattvas emerge as personifications of Buddhist ideals. Manjushri, who cuts through ignorance and personifies correct knowledge; Avalokiteshvara, a compassionate protector of the devout that helps reveal the true nature of reality; and Vajrapani as the embodiment of the energy of enlightenment. Focusing on dramatic images, a worshipper could first evoke the subtle knowledge that Manjushri personifies, then with Avalokiteshvaras aid, it is possible to proceed in a way free from self-imposed delusions, while Vajrapanis transcendent power aids in destroying jealousy and hatred that stand in the way of enlightenment. Venerating these three bodhisattvas together has a long history, and they play an essential role in the introduction of Buddhism to Tibet. This exhibition draws together a dramatic group of paintings, sculptures, ritual objects, and illustrated manuscripts from the eleventh to eighteenth centuries, made primarily for ...
While there are some similar meditative practices - such as breath meditation and various recollections (anussati) - that are used across Buddhist schools, there is also significant diversity. In the Theravāda tradition alone, there are over fifty methods for developing mindfulness and forty for developing concentration, while in the Tibetan tradition there are thousands of visualization meditations.{{Goldstein (2003) writes that, in regard to the Satipatthana Sutta, there are more than fifty different practices outlined in this Sutta. The meditations that derive from these foundations of mindfulness are called vipassana..., and in one form or another - and by whatever name - are found in all the major Buddhist traditions (p. 92). The forty concentrative meditation subjects refer to Visuddhimaggas oft-referenced enumeration. Regarding Tibetan visualizations, Kamalashila (2003), writes: The Tara meditation ... is one example out of thousands of subjects for visualization meditation, each one ...

When I talk about American Christianity, I am referring specifically to a brand of Christianity that has wholly adopted the postmodern, hedonistic, individualistic, relativistic, pluralistic mindset that comprises a very magnanimous portion of American philosophy. In other words, American Christianity is not Christianity in any sense of the word. American Christianity is a godless philosophical system immersed in idolatry. It is postmodern in the sense that truth is what the individual decides it is regardless of the facts. It is hedonistic in the sense that it aims to engender as much pleasure as the individual determines is satisfactory. It is individualistic in the sense that believers do not submit to their church leaders or the Christian group in any true sense whatever. The individual decides who their leader will be and as long as that leader operates within the individuals own self-determined parameters, they are extended the privilege to remain in the position of leader. If a church ...

For centuries, wherever Thai Buddhists have made their homes, statues of the Buddha have provided striking testament to the role of Buddhism in the lives of the people. |i>The Buddha in Lanna|/i> offers the first in-depth historical study of the Thai tradition of donation of Buddha statues. Drawing on palm-leaf manuscripts and inscriptions, many never previously translated into English, the book reveals the key roles that Thai Buddha images have played in the social and economic worlds of their makers and devotees from the fifteenth to twentieth centuries.|p>Author Angela Chiu introduces stories from chronicles, histories, and legends written by monks in Lanna, a region centered in todays northern Thailand. By examining the stories themes, structures, and motifs, she illuminates the complex conceptual and material aspects of Buddha images that influenced their functions in Lanna society. Buddha images were depicted as social agents and mediators, the focal points of pan-regional political-religious
By Miguel Farias and Catherine Wikholm. TWITCHING, trembling, panic, disorientation, hallucinations, terror, depression, mania and psychotic breakdown - these are some of the reported effects of meditation. Surprised? We were too.. Techniques such as transcendental meditation and mindfulness are promoted as ways of quieting the mind, alleviating pain and anxiety, and even transforming you into a happier and more compassionate person: natural cure-alls without adverse effects. But happiness and de-stressing were not what meditation techniques, with their Buddhist and Hindu roots, were originally developed for. The purpose of meditation was much more radical: to challenge and rupture the idea of who you are, shaking ones sense of self to the core so you realise there is nothing there (Buddhism) or no real differentiation between you and the rest of the universe (Hinduism). So perhaps it is not. ...

Sky burial (Tibetan: བྱ་གཏོར་, Wylie: bya gtor, lit. bird-scattered) is a funeral practice in which a human corpse is placed on a mountaintop to decompose while exposed to the elements or to be eaten by scavenging animals, especially carrion birds. It is a specific type of the general practice of excarnation. It is practiced in the Chinese provinces and autonomous regions of Tibet, Qinghai, Sichuan and Inner Mongolia, as well as in Mongolia, Bhutan and parts of India such as Sikkim and Zanskar. The locations of preparation and sky burial are understood in the Vajrayana Buddhist traditions as charnel grounds. Comparable practices are part of Zoroastrian burial practices where deceased are exposed to the elements and birds of prey on stone structures called Dakhma. Few such places remain operational today due to religious marginalisation, urbanisation and the decimation of vulture populations. The majority of Tibetan people and many Mongols adhere to Vajrayana Buddhism, which ...
The early Buddhist canon written in Pali comprises some 4 million words of text written across several centuries in early India. As such, it is of interest not only to scholars of Buddhism but also linguists and historians for the insight it gives into the social, linguistic, and religious culture of the time. Such insights are hindered however by the fact that it is difficult to determine which texts refer to which historical period. Previous attempts at this determination have relied on impressionistic or poorly-defined criteria, or have been extremely limited in the number of texts they classify. With the advent of electronic corpora, however, it becomes possible to do rigorous large-scale studies on the Canon. This study examines the evidence found in the aorist system of the Pali language. This system was undergoing a great deal of flux at the time as it changed from the complex system used earlier in India to the much simpler system used later. I examine five different types of aorists and ...
The area called Kita-kamakura or Northern Kamakura was a cradle of Zen Buddhism in Japan and is characterized by the presence of the historic and prominent Zen temples of Rinzai School.

When I go for a walk in the peaceful gardens of these temples, I always carry my camera to capture the unforgettable moments of wonder which I encounter only once in a lifetime ...

Christians and Americans different from Japanese. But here too the core experiences were the same. There are obviously two sides of the story. One must look at both sides with careful eye and determine for they what they believe is true. This is where the idea of reincarnation comes in. Because it is 7 incorporated in so many religions, you find an answer to a question, which you truly want to know the answer to, and do not abandon your faith in doing so. Reincarnation is detected in many religions. Reincarnation is normally thought of as a Hindu philosophy and it is traced back to Hinduism, yet it can be found in Judaism, Christianity, and Buddhism and in many more religions. In Judaism, reincarnation is known as Gilgul. Though it has a different name it has almost the exact same meaning. Gilgul was a dominant teaching in Judaism for over three hundred years. Cabala, a book of Judaism, which is often, studied by Rabbiâ⠬⠢s, one of the holy books of the Jews which talks of ...

Meta-reviews, large scale analyses of suicide risk have helped shed some evidence on the connection between religion and suicide.. Lawrence, Oquendo & Stanley (2016) noted that suicide and religion are both complex dimensions (e.g. suicide ideation versus attempts versus death, religious affiliation versus attendance.) Being part of a majority religious community was found to be a greater protective factor against suicide than a minority community, but that attending religious services was not as important as having social supports (whether religious or not.). Norko et. al. (2017) noted that all major faith communities (including Islam, Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, and Christianity) have strong objections to suicide.. In Lawrence et. al. (2016) a sample of clinically depressed patients in a hospital setting were found to have a higher rate of suicidality if they identified a religious affiliation, the more they attended religious services, and the more they indicated religion was ...
Again, back to the question: Am I a religious person? Religion - in my view, these are the beliefs that exists. Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Taoism, Islam, and many other religions around the world. Denomination, particularly Christian denominations are the churches that practice Christianity- Catholic, Methodist, Born Again, Protestant, and others (lots of them actually). I am a Christian- I was born a Christian, but I dont belong to any of these denominations mentioned (though as per my brother, Im still listed as a member at my former church). Dont hate me, I respect the teachings of every church, I dont have anything against it. I still think that having a meaningful spiritual life does good to people. I just dont practice it, as I had doubts in the Christian teaching of divine existence. And in the past couple of years I began to wonder and appreciate the ancient alien theory wherein foreign life from another world/universe gave us the knowledge and taught us to expand our ...

AUM symbolizes the Eastern religious traditions of which Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism (where onkar=OM+kar is used) are well known, AUM is considered as the holy word, it is also called the sound of creation.. AMEN symbolizes the Abrahamic religions: Judaism, Christianity,Islam (where amin is used, which is a variant of amen) and others. Amen is used at the end of prayers or speeches as a declaration of affirmation.. Each religion is a path (way of life) to reach god (divinity/immortality/liberation), though the different roads of religions appear to be diverging, they must finally join the spiritual highway which leads to divinity. Our focus at AumAmen would be chiefly on the underlying common philosophies of eastern and western religions, so that east and west learn to appreciate the better in each others philosophies ...
