Abstract:

The Mendicant Sect is a Buddhist movement that combines Theravada and Mahayana Buddhism. Based on fieldwork, analysis of ritual handbooks and other sect materials provided by informants, and readings of published works of Vietnamese monastics and scholars, this article introduces the sect's history and philosophy, describes its Central Vihara, and records a case study of its lay ritual practice, the Eight Precepts Ritual [Bát Quan Trai Giới]. In so doing, it illustrates the "revival of religion" thesis with a southern and Buddhist case study, while challenging the notion that Vietnamese Buddhi

Abstract:

During fieldwork in Ladakh in July–August 2018, three authors from Asian studies, anthropology, and religious studies backgrounds researched “multiple Buddhisms” in Ladakh, India. Two case studies are presented: a Buddhist monastery festival by the Drikung Kagyü Tibetan Buddhist sect, and a Theravada monastic complex, called Mahabodhi International Meditation Center (MIMC). Through the transnational contexts of both of these case studies, we argue that Buddhist leaders adapt their teachings to appeal to specific audiences with the underlying goal of preserving the tradition.

Abstract:

The major religious traditions clearly seem to be making very different claims about the nature of the religious ultimate and our relation to this ultimate. For example, orthodox Christians believe in an infinite creator God who has revealed himself definitively in the Incarnation in Jesus. But while affirming that there is one God who is creator and judge, devout Muslims reject as blasphemous any suggestion thatJesus was God incarnate. Theravada Buddhists, on the other hand, do not regard the religious ultimate as an ontologically distinct creator at all. And even within, say, the Buddhist fa

Buddhism was first invented in Kapilvastu, Nepal. Vietnam war is considered the second most devastating war of the 20th century after the second world war. At the same time, Vietnam had always boasted of 2000 years of Buddhist history. The US-Vietnam war, which surpassed the records of the French-Vietnamese War finally ended after long negotiations in Paris and the total withdrawal of the US troops in 1975. In the intermittent period, the Buddhists engaged in non-violent demonstrations against war, which was brutally suppressed then. But it made a long-lasting impact, ultimately resulting in n

This article aims to establish the principles for the creation of Buddhist sacred places based on primary sources of the three major sects, namely, Theravāda, Mahāyāna, and Vajrayāna, and studied architecture based on promising secondary sources through case studies. The stated research question is to understand the interaction among Buddhist principles, human activities, and Buddhist architecture in order to develop the criteria for creating Buddhist sacred places in the context of the modern world.

Abstract:

Indonesian Buddhism has many sects such as Theravada, Mahayana, Buddhayana, Tantrayana, Maitreya, Tridharma, Kasogatan, Nichiren and so on. These sects historically come from the same source, the Buddha’s teachings, but now they have differences in terms of doctrines and practices. This article analyses the differences with regard to their doctrines and beliefs in relation to the concept of God as required by the Indonesian Constitution. The discussion focuses on the debate among three sects, namely, Buddhayana, Theravada and Mahayana, about the name and nature of God and sources of doctrines

Abstract:

All singular terms for designating a religious tradition (e.g. Buddhism, Christianity) belie their multiplex diversity. Historically evolved, culturally embodied religious traditions are by their very nature dynamic, complex, and multilayered. Buddhism is no exception. The tripartite division that developed to encompass the historical breadth of the Buddhist tradition—Hinayana (Theravada), Mahayana, Tantrayana (Vajrayana)—merely suggests a diversity that includes perhaps hundreds if not thousands of different sects, subsects, and movements. Even broad historical-cultural distinctions such as T

Abstract:

This chapter examines the legal details surrounding the full ordination of women into the Buddhist monastic traditions. These legal details need be appreciated in order to understand difficulties involved in current attempts to revive an order of female monastics, bhikṣuṇīs, where it has come to be extinct. The chapter begins with the account of the foundation of the bhikṣuṇī order in the way this is found in the Dharmaguptaka, Mūlasarvāstivāda, and Theravāda Vinayas. Next it surveys the legal parameters that emerge from one of these gurudharmas, which concerns bhikṣuṇī ordination, and how acc

Abstract The selections translated here, from the Pali canon of the Theravāda school, and supplemented by some commentarial passages, are a series of discussions of action (Pali kamma, Skt. karma) and its moral assessment. They provide a set of complementary principles of ethics. Summarizing the features discussed here, Theravāda Buddhism sees an action as reprehensible if one would not like it inflicted on oneself, and as expressing a volition that is rooted in greed, hatred, or delusion, which three states are sustained by unwise attention. A reprehensible action is akusala: it is “unwholeso

In this essay I examine the relationship between Sartre's phenomenological description of the "self" as expressed in his early work (especially Being and Nothingness) and elements to be found in some approaches to Buddhism. The vast enormity of this task will be obvious to anyone who is aware of the numerous schools and traditions through which the religion of Buddhism has manifested itself. In order to be brief, I have decided to select specific aspects of what is commonly called the Theravadin tradition as being representative of Buddhist philosophy.

Abstract:

Buddhism is an Indian origin religion, or dharma, and its context is enormous, culturally diverse, and complex. There are three major traditions (Theravada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana or Tantric) and variants of these in the form of at least 18 schools and their numerous sects. Buddhism is the sacred law, peace, morality, and the teachings of the Buddha. It is also all things in nature. Animals, trees, humans, insects, sunlight, etc. are all dharmas. So, at its very essence, Buddhism can be described as an ecological religion or religious ecology. In this chapter, the author explains some fundame

It explains the emergence of three distinct lineages—Theravada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana—and uplifts the figure of the Bodhisattva. This chapter furthermore chronicles Western engagement with Buddhism, including the development of a nineteenth-century Orientalist lens, Buddhist monastics’ resistance to colonialism, and a set of “streamlined” teachings on meditation adopted by adherents from the United States.
