Full textAbstract:
Recent public concern over Muslim–Buddhist relations in South and Southeast Asia has emerged because of massive violence against Muslim minority groups in the region's Buddhist-majority states. The Buddhist have expressed fear that the rise in the Muslim population would force out the Buddhists, as has happened in several historical records. Thus, in this article, we provide a preliminary analysis of Buddhist-Muslim relations from past to present as it unfolds the various forms of relations, conflicts, and harmonies. This article also analyses the driving factors that contribute to the relation of both religious societies in terms of politics, religion, and economics. This research is qualitative. The research method used is descriptive-analytical by emphasizing content analysis of data information from various books and articles covering the Muslim and Buddhism encounters. Despite certain polemics having occurred along the relationship, the study shows that Muslim-Buddhist encounter occurred in harmony, particularly when relation was rooted in tolerance. Studies affirm that disputed facts ought to be critically updated to establish the causes, which will also help address the misunderstanding between religious societies.

AbstractIn August 2018, revelations of the sexual, financial, and administrative misconduct of a high-profile Chinese Buddhist monk named Xuecheng 學誠 were in the spotlight of domestic and international attention. The validity of the allegations and their social and religious impact have been widely debated, and this article focuses on the legal procedures used in handling the allegations and traces their source back to the Republican era (1911–1949). The state's governance of Buddhism and the efficacy of the Buddhist clergy's jurisdictional self-governance operating in Xuecheng's case in China today are significantly older than the People's Republic of China. As early as 1929, ordained Buddhists collectively denounced personal clerical privileges, in exchange for the state law's protection on monastic properties. Then, while protesting against unfavorable articles in the Charter of the Buddhist Association of China (Zhongguo fojiaohui zhang cheng 中國佛教會章程) proposed by the Nationalist government in 1936, the Buddhist clergy lost their legal jurisdiction over adjudicating internal disputes among ordained Buddhists. These two events have come to define the relationship between the state and the Buddhist establishment in contemporary China, where state law is harsh on religion while enforcement through legal practice is lax.

Several sources of primary Buddhist scriptures, secondary literature, and scientific articles were examined to find out what economic system was derived from the teachings of Buddhism described by Gautama Buddha. The principles of Buddhist economics are investigated from the personal and social ethics of the Buddhists that underlie the system. An economic system that adheres to Buddhist moral norms, and attitudes towards property and wealth that inspire in economic endeavors in particular entrepreneurial behavior. The method used is systematic content analysis. Entrepreneurship based on Buddhist values is also analyzed to be applied in the Student Creativity program in the field of Entrepreneurship. Generosity which is the principle of Buddhist economics in this study is also applied. Through an institution approved by the Directorate General of Buddhist Community Guidance together with the Directorate of Taxes, the Ministry of Finance, six formal institutions similar to the Amil Zakat Agency in Islamic Religious Institutions were obtained. Meanwhile, the selected product is based on the creative economy in the form of a conscious work of art called Catera Zebuart.

Recent articles in Religious Studies have underscored the questions of whether Buddhism presents any empirical doctrines, and whether, if it does, such doctrines are false or vacuous. In what follows I want to sketch an interpretation of Buddhism according to which it does not offer doctrines which are empirically false, on the one hand, or trivially true on the other. In doing so I take my cue from an earlier, and by now classic, paper by H. H. Price. For the exposition of Buddhism I take the Pali Nikāyas, the single most significant collection of texts in the Buddhist tradition. The particular doctrine which is the focus of discussion here is the kammavāda (Pali) or ‘karma view’ of early Indian Buddhism, for it is the focus of much of the recent literature cited above and a doctrine which some have thought amenable to statement in empirical terms.

The bulk of the present volume focuses on the reuse of Buddhist texts. The Introduction gives some background to the topic of textual reuse in general and discusses the reasons for undertaking the analysis of textual reuse within Buddhist texts. It then elaborates on the extent of its pervasiveness within Buddhist literature through the example of Tibetan ritual texts. Lastly, it takes stock of the articles on text-reuse and discusses some general lines of interpretation of the phenomenon of textual reuse in Buddhism, highlighting the importance of the genre over that of the time and language of composition. Thus, philosophical or technical texts tend to quote explicitly, whereas ritual texts see the predominance of the conveyed message over the transparency of the transmission so that reuse is mostly silent. Religious texts of various forms come in between these two extremes.

Full textAbstract:
Religious constitutionalism has recently become a global discussion. Such a trend arises as a result of several countries that have a majority of religious adherents declare their constitution based on certain religions. Thailand, for example, provides special norms about Buddhism (Buddhist constitutionalism), the Vatican has special norms about Catholicism (Catholic constitutionalism), India has special norms about Hinduism (Hindu constitutionalism), Saudi Arabia has norms specifically about Islam (Islamic constitutionalism), and so on. This article analyzes whether or not the Islamic principles have been adopted in the Indonesian Constitution. These principles consist of protecting religion, soul, mind, offsprings, and property. The author uses the five principles as a standard in measuring the entire Indonesian Constitution which constitutes to the teachings of Islam (Islamic constitutionalism). The implementation of Islamic constitutionalism can be identified through articles in the constitution. This study concluded that, in general, the Indonesian constitution could be considered to have agreed to Islamic constitutionalism, although in some cases it still needs to be actualized more.

The purpose of the article is to provide new information about the initial stage of the process of restoration and revival of Buddhist traditions after the period of repression and atheistic prohibitions. It shows the role of representatives of the Buddhist clergy in the person of the Khambo lamas of the USSR and the MPR Zh.-D. Gomboev, S. Gombozhav and P. B. Baldanzhapov in establishing international relations between the countries, in the creation and opening of the Buddhist Institute in Ulaanbaatar at the Gandantekchenlin Monastery in 1970. The article is written mainly onthe source base of archival materials stored in the private personal archive of P. B. Baldanzhapov kept in the funds of the Center of Oriental Manuscripts and Xylographs of the IMBT SB RAS, such as personal correspondence, copies and drafts of letters of appeals to government and other administrative organizations, plans and programs of visits and receptions of foreign delegations, reports and messages, drafts of articles, photographs. While writing the article, such research methods were used as historical retrospective, which showed the reason for the decline of Buddhist traditions by the early 60s of the last century, a comparative method that allowed assessing the contribution of Buddhist figures in historical perspective, as well as content analysis used for working with archival documents. Results. It has been stated that since the late 50-ies the policy of the Soviet government towards all confessions, including Buddhist, has changed. The main reason for which were political interests of the state aimed at improving its political image in the world, in expanding international relations of the USSR with the states of Southeast Asia, which allowed the Central Religious Board of the Buddhists of the USSR to establish ties with foreign Buddhist organizations and prominent religious public figures of other countries. Since the mid-60-70-ies, due to the joint efforts of Buryat and Mongolian Buddhist figures, actions were initiated for obtaining permission to open a Buddhist educational institution in Ulan-Bator, with the opening of which in 1970 the main threat to the existence of the Buddhist church among the Mongolian peoples was solved t.e. the disappearance of the system of education and training of young lamas.

Full textAbstract:
The sixth to twelfth centuries of the common era were marked by intense religious activity in all parts of India. In the Paramāra kingdom – the main focus of the articles in this special issue – the dominant religious forces were Jainism and the Śaiva traditions of Hinduism. While Buddhism was certainly present in central India, archaeological remains, inscriptions and post-medieval narratives suggest its role was much diminished compared to the early historic period. In substantial contrast, Buddhism remained a vibrant force in eastern India. Bodhgayā, as the site of the Buddha's enlightenment, had emerged as a sacred place by the time of Aśoka in the third century BCE and it evolved subsequently into one of the key centres of the Buddhist world. This importance is attested by existing remains at the site, including the Mahābodhi temple, monastic ruins and innumerable sculptures from medieval times.

Full textAbstract:
Buddhayana is a form of Buddhism adapted and accepted in a unique way in Indonesia. Buddhayana has become a symbol of harmony, unity and non-sectarianism in a pluralistic society. This research examines Buddhayana as a Buddhist tradition that has intersectarian, inclusivism and plurarism values that are in line with the value of diversity. The approach used in this research is qualitative with a literature review method through the search for primary and secondary information from various sources of books, articles, and the internet. The results of the study show that Buddhayana has successfully integrated local elements in its religious traditions, creating a unique form of Buddhism that suits the Indonesian social and cultural environment. This has been a positive contribution to interfaith harmony in Indonesia, providing a positive example of how different faiths can coexist peacefully. Buddhayana reinforces the notion of Indonesian diversity, reminding us of the importance of diverse religious cultures. Therefore, it is important to continue promoting the values of non-sectarianism and harmony so that Buddhayana and other religions remain agents of diversity in Indonesia. Buddhism in Indonesia is a successful example of interfaith harmony and religious adaptability in cultural diversity. Hopefully, the results of this research help to understand and appreciate the role of Buddhism in maintaining diversity and interfaith harmony in Indonesia and offer valuable insights into future challenges and opportunities

Full textAbstract:
195 pagesNosatsu is both a graphic art object and a religious object. Until very recently, scholars have ignored nosatsu because of its associations with superstition and low-class, uneducated hobbyists. Recently, however, a new interest in nosatsu has revived because of its connections to ukiyo-e. Early in its history, nosatsu was regarded as a means of showing devotion toward the bodhisattva Kannon. However, during the Edo period, producing artistic nosatsu was emphasized more than religious devotion. There was a revival of interest in nosatsu during the Meiji and Taisho periods, and its current popularity suggests a national Japanese nostalgia toward traditional Japan. Using the religious, anthropological, and art historical perspectives, this theses will examine nosatsu and the practices associated with it, discuss reasons for the changes from period to period, and explore the heritage and the changing values of the Japanese common people.

Full textAbstract:
This research project aims to investigate the potential for the development of tourism focused on the cultural heritage of Theravada Buddhism in Pattaya, a city in Eastern Thailand, to complement the existing tourism industry in Pattaya. The research also aims to develop an implementation strategy for Theravada Buddhism cultural tourism suitable for incorporation into the Pattaya tourism plan, which as yet does not address the promotion of cultural or religious tourism. Previous research suggests that cultural tourism involving Theravada Buddhism has the potential to attract international tourists and drive economic growth. Significantly, religious tourism is a sustainable and non-commercial form of tourism development which can preserve local identity. Theravada Buddhism is thus an aspect of cultural capital capable of adding value to many tourism destinations in Thailand, including Pattaya. This research adopts a qualitative methodology within an interpretative research paradigm in order to reflect the interests, values and attitudes of local people in Pattaya. Research data was obtained using semi-structured interviews with thirty-three participants selected by means of purposive sampling from key tourism stakeholders in Theravada Buddhism cultural tourism in Pattaya, including Pattaya city hall officials, national government officials with responsibilities involving culture and tourism, tourism business people, monks and lay temple volunteers, and Thai tourism academics with expertise in cultural or religious tourism. Thematic analysis was employed to categorise, analyse, and synthesise the interview data. The research outcomes suggest that the development of Theravada Buddhism cultural tourism would have positive social and economic effects on Pattaya. Such development would represent an additional source of income for Pattaya’s tourism industry, although the income is likely to be modest in comparison to existing forms of tourism such as entertainment since Buddhism is not compatible with excessively commercial development. However, the research suggests Theravada Buddhism cultural tourism could generate sociocultural value and be developed sustainably with low initial investment, yielding long term benefits. These benefits include improving Pattaya’s image as a destination and preserving and promoting local and national cultural heritage and identity. The strategy for the sustainable development of Theravada Buddhism cultural tourism developed on the basis of the research results is focused on addressing six key issues: (1) key stakeholders to be involved in the management of religious tourism; (2) sources of investment funds; (3) suitable sites for development; (4) the development of a Theravada Buddhism cultural learning centre; (5) the creation of creative cultural activities for tourists; and (6) ways of promoting Theravada Buddhism cultural tourism with sensitivity. These issues underpin the following five sub-strategies: (1) cooperation between Pattaya City Hall and government authorities in managing and investing in Theravada Buddhism cultural tourism; (2) the use of temples as cultural tourism sites; (3) establishing learning centres for Theravada Buddhism and Thai culture; (4) creative activities for tourists; and (5) sustainable promotion and development of Theravada Buddhism cultural tourism. Because of the importance of Theravada Buddhism as a central element of Thai culture, these strategies have significance not only for Pattaya but also for many other tourism sites around Thailand.

Abstract Self-proclaimed secular Buddhists in the United States are gaining popularity, as evidenced by the over seven million downloads of the Secular Buddhism Podcast episodes and over a hundred thousand followers of the Facebook groups of the Secular Buddhism Podcast and the Secular Buddhist Association. This chapter examines their publicly available media—podcast episodes and internet articles—to describe how these Buddhists are presenting themselves as secular. The author argues that secularization happens in tandem with racialization, such that to understand secular Buddhists, there must be a discussion of whiteness and how race undergirds the construction and classification of one set of specific beliefs and practices as “secular,” “universal,” “rational,” “philosophical,” “pragmatic,” and “scientific,” in contrast to another set that is relegated as “religious,” provincial “culture”(-bound), “irrational,” “dogmatic,” “nonsensical,” and “superstitious.” This hierarchical construction is political in that classifiers adjudicate aspects of Buddhism deemed superior, denigrating the rest as inferior.

Around 75% of all adolescents in Norway have been confirmed, and the Church of Norway and the Norwegian Humanist Association are the main providers of this ritual. In autumn 2020, however, Buddhist organizations in Norway co-operated for the first time in arranging a Buddhist confirmation. 13 young Buddhists participated. Considerable research has been done on confirmation as arranged by the Church of Norway, but the alternatives are under-researched. This article, in which the introduction of Buddhist confirmation is discussed, is therefore a needed contribution to the research literature on confirmation in Norway. The theoretical perspective applied emphasizes how religions continually change due to mobility (Wong & Levitt, 2014) and the importance of belonging (Day, 2011). A central finding is how arranging Buddhist confirmation is a strategic accommodation to majority culture customs in order to reach the rising generation with Buddhism. In addition, being able to offer this ritual distinguishes the role Buddhism has in the multicultural society in Norway. I also argue that arranging Buddhist confirmation has a consolidating, ecumenical and community-building effect for Buddhist organizations in Norway.

Full textAbstract:
The Ise Shrines (Ise Jingū 伊勢神宮), which venerate the tutelary deities of the imperial lineage, are today presented as sites of an enduring and immutable native tradition. However, the image of Ise as the homeland of an indigenous religion untouched by Buddhism is one created by eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Nativists, promulgated by the Japanese government until the end of the Pacific War, and promoted by the Ise Shrines until today. The Separation Edicts of 1868, which segregated religious deities, clergy, institutions, and images, into the mutually exclusive categories of Buddhist or Shinto, was one of the most radical events in the history of Japanese religion and one that forever changed the status, structure, and administration of Ise. But for the previous thousand years, Buddhist practices, texts, deities, and beliefs were an integral part of Ise’s religious and institutional culture. Yet the relationship between the gods and the buddhas at Ise is neither simple nor self-evident. This article seeks to excavate one piece of that complex history.

Abstract If eschatology is understood to refer to “final things”—that is, the idea that the world will one day come to a definitive end—there is simply no parallel in the Buddhist tradition. This being said, Buddhist sources do refer to what Zwi Werblowsky has aptly termed “relative eschatologies.” On the cosmic level, one can speak of the end of a particular phase of manifestation or non-manifestation of the universe as a whole or, within this larger framework, the end of a specific cycle of devolution or evolution. On the historical level, Buddhist scriptures predict the demise of the Buddhist religion itself, holding that Buddhism—like all causally constructed phenomena—will eventually come to an end. This article deals with Buddhist eschatology, cosmic eschatology, cosmology and modernity, Mahāayāna developments, and the legacy of Śākyamuni Buddha and other Buddhas such as Maitreya.

Abstract In a widely read article published in 1967, Lynn White, Jr. argued that how we conceive of nature and the place of humans in the environment will determine how we use natural resources and impact the world around us. According to White, the devaluation of nature and the pervasive anthropocentrism of Western philosophical and religious traditions were the root causes of the ecological crisis.He suggested that Buddhism was more suitable to an ecologically sustainable way of life because Buddhists conceive human beings to be wholly interdependent with the more-than-human world. In the last few decades, scholars have produced more nuanced views of the ecological theories and practices of both Asian and Western religious traditions. Still, Buddhist traditions have become fertile sources for many thinkers seeking to reconceive the human-nature relationship with the hope of providing a theoretical foundation for ecologically sustainable ways of being in the world.

Abstract In an interesting article published in the first issue of the online Journal of Buddhist Ethics, Paul Numrich recounts the famous dialogue, included in a variety of Theravada sources, between the Buddhist monk Mahinda and King Devanampiya Tissa of Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) concerning Buddhism’s establishment in Sri Lanka. The king, properly concerned, wants to know precisely when this new religion’s roots may be considered to be firmly established on the island. Mahinda’s reply: “When a young man, born of Ceylonese parents on the island of Ceylon, having gone forth on the island of Ceylon and learned the monastic discipline in this same island of Ceylon, when he will recite that discipline on the island of Ceylon— then, Great king, will the roots of the religion indeed be deep.”1 In other words, as Numrich points out, recitation of the precepts of the Pratimoksa by indigenous monks is a requisite for the establishment of Buddhism. Numrich then cites Michael Carrithers’s often quoted remark: “No Buddhism without the Sangha and no Sangha without the Discipline.”2 As such, the growth of Buddhism into countries beyond its Indian birthplace, and its survival in those countries, required and was predicated upon the establishment of the monastic sangha and the fortnightly recitation of the monastic code.

This study addresses the link between alternative religiosity and humour. Alternative religiosity is characterized by an openness to the spiritual world, focusing on various forms of practice related to meditation, therapy and self-development. It has been described as a pick-and-mix religion were individuals pick and choose beliefs from different religions and religious orientations, such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Western esoteric religiosity. This article looks at how humour is used as a tool in two alternative religious magazines. It describes the content of humour and in which contexts humour is found in these magazines. The aim of both magazines is to spread information about alternative religiosity, alternative lifestyles and different alternative treatment methods. Humour occurs in different contexts in the two magazines and changes over time. However, humour is a rather rare tool and has a subordinate function. It is often used to spread information about an alternative lifestyle. It also appears as part of alternative self-presentations and attempts to create positive communitive identity

Abstract At Camps, Young U.S. Sikhs Cling to Heritage,”proclaims the title of a July 1998 New York Times front-page article. The story is about the Sikhs, members of a religion that originated five hundred years ago in northwestern India and is now part of the religious landscape of the United States. It describes the Sikh community’s efforts to pass on its religious heritage to the younger generation growing up in North America. Like other religious communities, Sikhs have learned that summer camps are an effective way to achieve this goal. At camps where young people live, learn, and play, older Sikhs make a concerted effort to immerse the young in the Sikh way of life, to teach them Sikh beliefs and his tory, and to fill them with pride in the richness of the Sikh background. The Times reporter noted that Sikh parents had grown concerned when they realized that “their children could chant rap songs but not Sikh scriptures, could name the Ten Commandments but not the ten Sikh gurus.

Full textAbstract:
The rock carvings at Baodingshan 寶頂山 (Treasure Summit Mountain), Dazu, Chongqing Municipality, represent the high achievement of Chinese Buddhist rock art. Scholars have offered various readings of the site’s design but many questions remain. This article suggests that the Baodingshan site was created, and designed accordingly, to serve as a venue for holding shuilu or the Buddhist rites of deliverance of creatures of water and land. The article first introduces the early states (i.e., the Song times) of the Shuilu rites which are very different from the contemporary version. The next section analyzes three elements at the Baodingshan site that indicate the site to be a ritual space for shuilu: Yuwen Qi’s 宇文屺 verse carved at the foothill of the site; the shared compositional characters of the carvings; and, the gāthā (jie 偈) of jiashi re tielun 假使熱鐵輪. A new frontier for the study of Buddhist rituals in medieval China can be opened by closely reading the rock carvings at Buddhist sites within the framework of shuilu ritual.

Full textAbstract:
Over the last fifty years the study of mysticism has been shaped by the debate between ‘perennialists’, who claim that mystical experiences are the same across different cultures, and ‘constructivists’, who claim that mystical experiences are shaped by, and hence specific to, particular religious traditions. The constructivist view is associated with the ‘discursive turn’ that has dominated the humanities for the last half century, emphasising cultural relativism. Nonetheless, the constructivist position is not without problems. Inspired in part by Lance Cousins’ 1989 comparison of Buddhaghosa’s Path of Purification and Teresa of Ávila’s Interior Castle, the present article seeks to bring out parallels in the contemplative exercises and the progress of the ‘spiritual life’ found in Buddhist accounts of meditation (such as the Cūḷa- Suññata-sutta) and Christian apophaticism (as presented in The Cloud of Unknowing). The article seeks to establish specific parallels in the techniques of and approaches to contemplative practice in both traditions, as well as in the phenomenology of the experiences of the meditator (yogāvacara) or contemplative at different stages in the work of meditation and contemplation.

Full textAbstract:
Burning incense occupies an important place in Buddhist rituals, alongside well-known practices such as meditation and reciting sutras. This 38 article explores a number of Buddhist practices that use the healing properties of sandalwood and aquilaria, both of which have an exceptional reputation in both religion and medicine of the East. The burning of fragrant sandalwood and aquilaria wood during meditation and religious ceremonies, the offering of incense to deities, the use of ointments, pills, decoctions in medical practices of Buddhist monasteries is aimed at strengthening physical and mental health on the path to spiritual perfection. Of no small importance is also the study of the canonical writings of Buddhism, which set out not only the religious and philosophical postulates of its teachings, but also contain recipes and methods for compiling incense and recommendations for their use in medicine.

Voytishek, E. E., A. V. Zinchenko, and Yao Song. "“Ten virtues of incense” in Buddhist Tradition of China and Japan." In IV Международный научный форум "Наследие". SB RAS, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.25205/978-5-6049863-7-0-10-30.
Full textAbstract:
This article is based on the text known as “Ten Virtues of Incense” (香十德 Xiang shí de) written during the Song dynasty (960–1279). In this text, the fundamental functions of incense, manifesting in everyday life and Buddhist ceremonies, are listed in a metaphorical form. This short text, consisting only of 40 Chinese characters, over time, has become one of the fundamental works of traditional Chinese and Japanese culture, exerting its influence on the Chan and Zen practices of Buddhist masters, as well as on the arts of tea and incense. The question of authorship adds extra intrigue to the phenomenon of this text’s diffusion within East Asian culture: its creation is attributed to the Chinese poet Huang Tingjian (黃庭堅, 1045–1105) as well as to the Japanese Zen master Ikkyū Sōjun (一休宗純, 1394– 1484), and their fellow disciples who played a significant role in the development of tea and olfactory practices, poetry, calligraphy, and painting. Their artworks should also be considered within the context of the Chan/Zen religious philosophy and the Buddhist artistic tradition of the Five Mountains.

В статье раскрываются устоявшиеся понятия усыновления и их историческое видоизменение с учетом положений Древнего Рима. Приводятся статистические данные работы судов общей юрисдикции за 1 полугодие 2019 года по исследуемой категории дел как Российской Федерации в целом, так и одного из субъектов - Чеченской Республики. Анализируется отношение таких основных мировых религий как христианство, буддизм и ислам к вопросу усыновления, а также к способам, с помощью которых можно и нужно преодолевать данную социальную проблему. В работе делается акцент на усыновление детей, имеющих живых биологических родителей, а не только сирот, и дается анализ в изучении вопроса усыновления на примере чеченского традиционного общества до начала ХХ века и в настоящее время, а также исследуются виды усыновления. Вводится понятие «латентное усыновление» и раскрывается его сущность. Выявляются разногласия между нормами обычного права и шариата, которые существуют у чеченцев, а также раскрываются негативные стороны тайны усыновления. И в заключение статьи разрабатываются рекомендации по взаимообщению и взаимообогащению между приемными родителями и биологическими родителями усыновляемого. The article reveals the established concepts of adoption and their historical modification, taking into account the provisions of Ancient Rome. Statistical data on the work of courts of general jurisdiction for the 1st half of 2019 for the investigated category of cases of both the Russian Federation as a whole and one of the constituent entities - the Chechen Republic are presented.

Full textAbstract:
This article addresses an issue of growing political importance: the global rise of civilizational populism. From Western Europe to India and Pakistan, and from Indonesia to the Americas, populists are increasingly linking national belonging with civilizational identity—and at times to the belief that the world is divided into religion-based civilizations, some of which are doomed to clash with one another. As part of this process, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, and Christianity have all been commandeered by populist parties and movements, each adept at using the power of religion—in different ways and drawing on different aspects of religion—to define the boundary of concepts such as people, nation, and civilization.
