Abstract:

Buddhist befriending is holistic: it befriends human beings, even enemies, and nature too. In Buddhism one befriends others, in all circumstances and without discrimination, whether they are friends or enemies, offenders and prisoners, the poor and the needy. It also  includes other religions and cultures as well as nature. We  find several examples in the Buddhist texts, in history and in the contemporary world. This befriending is done with an altruistic spirit, with forbearance, loving friendship and compassion. As in all religions, however, there are exceptions in the texts, in h

Abstract:

An important element in the ritual corpus of Shingon Buddhism, a tantric tradition in Japan, is the homa (goma, 護摩). This is a votive ritual in which offerings are made into a fire, and has roots that trace to the Vedic ritual tradition. One of the five ritual functions that the homa can fulfill is destruction, abhicāra. A destructive ritual with Yamāntaka as the chief deity is one such ritual in the contemporary Shingon ritual corpus. Consideration of this ritual provides entrée into the history of destructive practices, including violent subjugation, that date from very early in the Buddhist

Abstract:

This paper explores the influence and significance of the activities of the monks’ militia during the Japanese invasion of Chosŏn, from the perspective of the religious efficacy of Buddhism and the spread of the Buddhist concept of wonder. After examining the concept that the monks’ militia played an important part in the war, fighting against enemies in major battles and constructing and defending fortresses, this paper proposes that the religious efficacy of Buddhism was revealed through the performance of burial and guiding ceremonies.

The main issue of this paper is the role of two empresses: Chinese Wu Zhao (624-705) and Japanese Koken (Shotoku,718-770) in the history and religion in China and Japan. Both female rulers took Buddhist percepts and patronized theBuddhist Sangha in order to legitimate their power. As the female rulers in the mostly patriarchal society, both WuZhao and Koken had numerous enemies among the formidable court officials and influential families who opposedtheir rule. Therefore, they both used various auspicious signs and omens as the calculated political tools to secure theirposition. In various doc

Abstract:

Lion is the king of the animal world. They live in the plains and grassy hills. The male lion's job is to protect the clan from enemies. However, lions do not have any natural enemy. Due to these characteristics, the lion has been considered through all ages in the world as a symbol of royalty and protection as well as of wisdom and pride. In Buddhism, lions are symbolic of the Bodhisattvas. In Buddhist architecture, lion motifs or figure were used as protectors of Dharma and therefore support the throne of the Buddha’s and Bodhisattvas. The lion motifs (symbol) were also used at the entrance

Abstract:

Ancient Indian thinkers have discussed various topics related to political science in a comprehensive and subtle way. Shadgunya is an ancient Indian concept, which means a collection of six qualities. This concept is found in various philosophies and religions, such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. Shadgunya originated in ancient India. At that time, this concept was found in the Vedas and Upanishads. In the Vedas, Shadgunya was known as "Shadripu", which means six enemies (lust, anger, greed, attachment, ego, and envy). In the Upanishads, Shadgunya was known as "Shadvikas", which means six

Abstract:

“Dhammāntarāya” is a Pali-loan word which defines a well-known anti-communist psychological operation. The campaign was carried out by Burmese Armed Forces in the period of 1958–1960, also known as era of General Ne Win Caretaker Government. The whole operation attacked one of the weakest points in the enemy’s armor. It openly expressed negative attitude of Burmese Communists against Buddhism as well as other religions (Islam, Christianity etc.). It is noteworthy to say such a propagandistic trick could be seen in modern political context by demonstrating “anti-Buddhist erroneous views” of gue

Thai Buddhist and Malay Muslim neighbours in Thailand's Muslim-majority deep south face the challenge of managing everyday life in the midst of an enigmatic insurgency where both ethno-religious groups are victims of violence, but where the assailants are difficult to identify. This ethnographically-focused paper examines horizons of trust and suspicion as villagers confront threats to their safety, negotiate state authorities and encounter broader narratives about identity, allegiance and enemies. Although fear and suspicion sparked by the current violence have generated Buddhist–Muslim tensi

AbstractThis paper argues that until 1680s, the Oirat political culture in the upper Irtysh area was based on the leadership of Khoshut clan rather than Jungars, as it is believed nowadays. Ablai Taiji of the Khoshut nobility, the founder of the Buddhist monastery Ablai-kit, inherited and pursued a policy of cooperation with Muscovy in an attempt to profit from its trade with China. Over the course of 1670s, under pressure from his brother, Ablai lost his domains and was defeated by his enemies. To construct this narrative, this paper engages in critical analysis of diverse archival sources an

Abstract In the annals of Japanese history, Rennyo (1415-1499) is a figure of enormous influence known primarily for fashioning the Honganji branch of Jodoshinshu into an institution of growing strength at a time when so many others were weakened by profound political, social, and economic disruption, including ten years of civil war. Rennyo created or was at the forefront of new paradigms of religion, economics, and social structure that not only enabled him and his church to survive violent attacks but led to the accruing of unprecedented power and influence among all classes of society, fro

The epilogue summarizes some of the main conclusions of this study. The practical ‘case studies’ composed by Pedro Gómez discuss the everyday concerns of Japanese Christians. The Jesuits’ ‘casuistry of civil war’ reflected on the conditions for becoming involved in local conflicts. This was prompted by Alonso Sánchez’s call for Spain to intervene militarily to protect the missionaries in China and in Japan. Both those for and against such a course of action argued over the correct interpretation of the theory of ‘just war’, as it was developed by Augustine and Francisco de Vitoria. In this deb

Abstract Fierce Herukas, emitted by the supreme buddhas of the Vajrayāna “thunderbolt vehicle,” emerged toward the end of the first millennium CE to bolster Buddhist kings outside India with supernatural powers to defend their territory, repel their enemies, and bring peace. This movement applied politically what was prescribed in the major Tantra texts of the great Ganges Valley monasteries but was not implemented in India. The Tantras envisaged extending supramundane maṇḍalas over the royal landscape that were networked into holy sites. The Buddhists were thus replicating in maritime Asia th

Also addressed are their relationship both to their antitheses and to their “near enemies,” or the states that are similar enough to masquerade as these virtuous ones, yet differ because they are egocentric, and thus become a vice. The chapter examines the question of why morality is rational, including discussions of this topic in both Western and Buddhist thought, and its connections to egoism, and argues that the four divine states, when considered together, can be und

"Today, Japan's political culture is represented by peace-lover (pacifist), economic and aesthetic imagery. With the exception of certain historical periods, the Japanese archipelago is known for its many cultural values such as Samurai, Buddhism, Shintoism and ikebana as the cradle of aesthetics and art. On the other hand, the non-aesthetic and non-cultural concept that comes to mind with Japan is “kamikaze” (suicide bomber). The term appeared in Japanese political history during World War II, when the Japanese armies made suicide plunges from the air to the enemy's naval forces. However, the
