Abstract:
In an interview just before his death, Issan Dorsey, an American Zen priest and abbot of the Hartford Street Zen Center, stated, “AIDS is not fatal. Life is fatal. If you have AIDS, you are alive.” Although infected with AIDS, Issan worked to establish the Maitri Hospice for those dying from complications related to AIDS in the San Francisco Castro District, the heart of the gay and lesbian community. His efforts reflect the statement–although the body may be diseased, one can continue to give abundantly and tirelessly, articulated by Vimalakirti in the Vimalakirtinirdesa Sutra (Sutra on the Teaching of Vimalakirti).

Abstract:
Mental health has become a critical global issue over the last century, adversely impacting individual happiness, social costs and human capital, all of which devastate national competitiveness, urging government leaders to take immediate action to solve this problem. Caring professionals have studied medical and non-medicinal solutions, including counselling, which may interface with religion. The integration of Buddhist elements and therapies is increasingly prevalent, with positive effects. However, very few of these psychotherapeutic approaches adopt canonical evidence to support their theories, even though many are associated with Tibetan or early Buddhism. Focusing on first-hand data and employing interpretivism and plurality, this exploratory research interprets the ideas of bodhisattva and the four immeasurables within the Vimalakīrti Nirdeśa Sūtra, an influential Mahāyāna text, and translates them into a counselling framework from the Chinese Buddhist perspective, cross-referenced with qualitative fieldwork. Through purposive sampling, 38 participants were recruited through cold calls, social networks, and electronic mails, including helping practitioners, Buddhist masters, volunteers, and beneficiaries who have overcome life challenges through Buddhist wisdom. In addition to 44 semi-structured, in-depth individual as well as two focus group interviews analysed through interpretative phenomenological analysis, multiple resources were also utilised, such as participatory observations, expressive art, television programmes, and autobiographies. The ATLAS.ti 7 software package was used for both scriptural and interview data analyses. Triangulation was conducted to enhance rigour, involving expert consultation, member-checking, and a peer analysis that resulted in an inter-rater reliability of 92%, which reflects the credibility, dependability, confirmability, and transferability of this project. Results finalised two super-ordinate themes (philosophical concepts and propositions for counselling) from 14 emergent themes arising from 40 themes, proposing a bodhisattva-spirit-oriented counselling framework, highlighting the social dimension and illuminating constructs that are disregarded by the extant models. These outcomes correspond to research questions which achieve the research objective, and support the research assumption regarding the inherent therapeutic functionality of Buddhism. This mixed-method inter-disciplinary work not only supplies a direct Buddhist voice, which differs from available literature, but also provides theoretical underpinnings for researchers and practitioners to enrich their practice and expand the horizon of Buddhist-related interventions. This indicates the practicability of the bodhisattva path in the human service industry, as witnessed by the lived experience of the participants, implying the applicability of Mahāyāna wisdom, which has evolved over 2,000 years, to our modern society. In conceptualising this comprehensive counselling framework, this study opens up a doctrinal approach to substantiate Buddhist-informed interventions, revealing the significance of canonical data for such research and marking the originality and feature of this project. However, this proposed framework is being developed with little exploration of operational procedures. Future studies are suggested to develop non-medicinal and non-intrusive programmes based on this framework, and to explore other concepts of Chinese Buddhism for therapeutic purposes. In conclusion, this research, recapturing the Buddhist power of discourse in the caring field, sheds light on how the bodhisattva spirit can be put into practice via self-transcendence and a quest for well-being in contemporary cultures, through self-benefiting altruism.

Abstract:
abstract: The Vimalakirti Sutra is one of the classics of early Indian Mahayana Buddhism. The sutra narrates that Vimalakirti, an enlightened layman, once made it appear as if he were sick so that he could demonstrate the Law of Mahayana Buddhism to various figures coming to inquire about his illness. This dissertation studies representations of The Vimalakirti Sutra in Chinese painting from the fourth to the nineteenth centuries to explore how visualizations of the same text could vary in different periods of time in light of specific artistic, social and religious contexts. In this project, about forty artists who have been recorded representing the sutra in traditional Chinese art criticism and catalogues are identified and discussed in a single study for the first time. A parallel study of recorded paintings and some extant ones of the same period includes six aspects: text content represented, mode of representation, iconography, geographical location, format, and identity of the painter. This systematic examination reveals that two main representational modes have formed in the Six Dynasties period (220-589): depictions of the Great Layman as a single image created by Gu Kaizhi, and narrative illustrations of the sutra initiated by Yuan Qian and his teacher Lu Tanwei. The latter mode, which became more popular than the former in the Tang Dynasty (618-907), experienced adaptation from handscroll to panoramic mural. It is also during this period that a minor scenario, the Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers, became a necessary vignette for representation of the sutra. Since the Song Dynasty (960-1279), the Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers gradually became an independent theme. This author investigates the thematic shift caused by various factors. These include the transformation of later Chinese narrative painting and the prevalence of shinu hua 仕女畫, painting of beauties, in later Chinese painting. There is also a change in the role of the Heavenly Maiden from one of many maidens to the only and necessary partner of Vimalakirti. Ultimately, the image of the Heavenly Maiden evolves from a Buddhist heavenly being to a Daoist fairy and later to a symbol representing auspicious meanings.

A Study of the Viewpoints on life between Vimalakirti Sutra and Yi Jing Abstract In thousands of years, the Vimalakirti Sutra and Yi Jing make a great impact on our history. This study aims to explore the literary thoughts in the Vimalakirti Sutra, a Buddhist text, and Yi Jing, a Confucian text, and intends to find the similarities between the two different cultures. The research tries to show respect towards the ancient sages, and to reveal a positive path for people. This is the initial motive of the study. The Vimalakirti Sutra describes various challenges in practicing Buddhism during the third period by telling the story of Vimalakirti’s illness. The interactions between Vimalakirti, a Buddhist and ten major disciples of Sakyamuni Buddha reveal the true meanings of the Mahayana Buddhism and lead people for proper practices of Bodhisattva and Buddhism (from the Hinayana to the Mahayana). The sutra not just defines the wisdom and perception, but also presents the positive side of life through its writing and setting. Both aspects of realist and idealist generate varied inspirations. Yi Jing begins with Fu Xi’s creation of the universe and its latter development of the eight trigrams as well as the sixty-four hexagrams makes an endless cycle. Life is to face difficulties and challenges for internal balance or external peace. The purpose of life is to understand the harmony between the internal mind and external surroundings. This is the goal described in Yi Jing: to develop one’s mind, to adjust one’s self for a better welfare, and to benefit one’s self and others. Both the Vimalakirti Sutra and Yi Jing are worth discussing. The aim of the study is to analyse the literary characteristics and meanings of the texts, to differentiate the relationships between the philosophy of Yin & Yang described in Yi Jing and the idealism of the Vimalakirti Sutra. The integrated descriptions in literature and aesthetics signify the value and similarity of the humanity. The literary thoughts in the Vimalakirti Sutra and Yi Jing affirm an interrelation between the Buddhism and the Confucianism. As long as people remain positive, they are able to conquer difficulties and manifest greater potentialities. Those hardships can be solved in the right time and the right space. The value of mankind is then treasured. Keywords: Mahayana Buddhism, literature, Yi Jing, the Vimalakirti Sutra, the unification of nature and human beings.

Political Communication is an important key to develop a regime stably. However, there isn’t a lot of exhaustive study on the political functions of the Buddhist Murals. The Vimalakirti Sutra painting in Mogao Caves 220 is very special mural, particularly the first appearance of the portrait of Chinese Emperor, the portrait of foreigner (Siyi), and the portrait of Tsenpo in Tibetan’s era. This article suggests that the appearance of the portrait of Chinese Emperor and the the portrait of foreigner had a relationship between the tradition of “Huaxia’s Monarch” and restore the “Zhongyuan’s international order”. Moreover the portrait of Chinese Emperor in Tibetan’s era does not necessarily represents that people supported Tang Dynasty by that time, and the portrait of Tsenpo should not be seen as a sign of oppression.

Middle way is an essential idea in Buddhism. The process of history, and geographical differences have led to many interpretations and extending the discussion. This article explores the relationship between the Middle Way thought of Venerable Master Hsing Yun ( VMHY ) and the thought in light of “the Vimalakirti Sutra”（“VS”）. As an explanation of Buddhist doctrines and response to the solitary-style of practice, VMHY proposes the idea of Engaged Buddhism, combining Buddhist Practice with daily life. The process of adapting to the modern developments of society, illustrates the characteristics of Middle Way practice, its salient truths as well as the way to liberation. 　　Meanwhile Buddha explained, “Four Noble Truths”, also revealing Middle Way thought behind. Thus, the Middle Way interpretation can be divided into four levels : (1) the cognitive level: explain the idea of getting rid of persistence of feeling on bliss and suffering. (2) the practical level : means the religious practices of the Eightfold Path. (3) the functional level : through the practice can eliminate greed, hatred, and delusion ( ignorance ). (4) the enlightened level : completely transcend the suffering, and being enlightened. 　　“The Vimalakirti Sutra”, also known as “Acintya-Vimoksa Sutra”. Although “VS” never mentioned the “Middle Way”, it is however expressed through the idea of non-duality. As such, this article investigate the Non-duality tenet, it is found that the idea which is not only a philosophical postulation, but also a mean of liberation from dichotomy (kind of enlightenment) through the practice, and “Vimalakirti’s silence without speech” show that the real enlightenment can’t be stated by the linguistic speech . 　　After Buddhism transcended India and arrived in China, it was Sinicized in the face of a rich profound culture, which had a different framework of thought from its own; ad a result, Buddhism had developed new forms of religious praxis. Nowadays, VMHY propagates Humanistic Buddhism thought through the ideas of daily life cultivation; he transcends the traditional paradox of daily life and practice, illuminating the Middle Way life that Shakyamuni Buddha advocated. 　　Through the three ways of expression: disapproving, affirming, and circular thinking, one finds similarities in the interpretation of Middle Way thought between VMHY and that of the Vimalakirti Sutra. For example: Firstly, both disagree with the solitary-style practice, and world-escaping behavior, eliminate the persisting in dharma through the contractive way of thinking. Secondly, both indirectly disapprove the twofold opposition, but employing transcendental concepts to encompass opposition as a means of preventing polarization. Thirdly, both employ circular thinking to address more effect ways for transcending dichotomy. This study concludes that through the three ways of expressing, one can identify the Middle way thought of VMHY and “VS” as well as highlight the wisdom behind their application.
