Abstract:

After Buddha parinibbana, difference of views between his disciples in interpreting Dhamma result in the creation of three main Buddhist schools: Theravada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana. With slightly different philosophies, these schools also have their own unique architectural characteristics to represent sacredness. However, due to the absence of any architectural literature, wide interpretations of Buddhist teachings, and acculturation with local culture, sacred characteristics of Buddhist architecture became mixed and difficult to distinguish. This research aims to study the influence of Mahay

Abstract:

Nondualistic conceptions of the body in Vajrayana Buddhism and some schools of Zen potentially extend the range for imagining and conceptualizing the analyst’s body. They add dimension to psychoanalytic explorations of nonverbal, body-to-body communication in the analytic dyad. Vajrayana Buddhism posits that the body that we have from the point of view of the conceptual mind is not our only body. The body that we are, known as the Vajra body, is experientially available only when the conceptual mind is relaxed. The Vajra body suggests an aspect of embodiment that upsets distinctions of subject

Abstract:

This essay analyzes how young urban elites spiritualize their LGBTQI+ sexualities through the recent popularization of Tibetan Buddhism in Vietnam. New market conditions have commodified Tibetan Buddhism as an alternative to normative Mahayana practices. For the cohort in this study, a tension has emerged between the perceived inadequacies of state-run Vietnamese Buddhism and Tibetan Buddhism, the latter of which is experienced as individualizing, fast, elite, and wealth-attracting. The essay focuses on three interrelated case studies of lived religiosity: how a Vietnamese-run Tibetan Buddhist

Abstract:

In this article, after briefly reviewing the legal and numerical visibilization of Vajrayana Buddhism with respect to other forms of Buddhism in Spain, the work is focused on the visibilization of heritage. Notable examples are studied, reviewing from the heritage proposals closest to the Tibetan models to those that opt to promote spaces of modern appearance and of new typology. The notable dimension of some monasteries, centres and monuments that will be reviewed, which is related to the boom of Buddhist religious tourism in Spain, is generating a new differential religious heritage that the

Abstract:

Cognitive and neuroscience research from the past several years has shed new light on the influences that meditative traditions have on the meditation practice. Here we review new evidence that shows that types of meditation that developed out of certain traditions such as Vajrayana and Hindu Tantric lead to heightened sympathetic activation and phasic alertness, while types of meditation from other traditions such as Theravada and Mahayana elicit heightened parasympathetic activity and tonic alertness. Such findings validate Buddhist scriptural descriptions of heightened arousal during Vajray

Abstract:

In the twenty-first century, religious violence has become endemic in our world. Scholars are divided on the true motivations for such violence, however. While some perceive inherent incitements to violence embedded in religion itself, others blame other factors—primarily, competition for resources, which then co-opts religious feeling in order to justify and escalate conflict. This dissertation proposes that more fruitful answers to the riddle of religious violence may lie in the relationship between collective identity and religious allegiance. Identity construction is liminal and, as such,

Abstract:

This thesis aligns itself with a critical tradition that asserts that current mental health assessment and treatment has its basis in symptom classification and quantification methods, which in turn have roots in the empirical traditions of modernity, in the demands and discourses of capitalism (Foucault 1961) and in Cartesian dualism. This critique further asserts that such embedded epistemologically-grounded practices have an initial impact on a client’s sense of personal agency as their own experiential sense of self, the potentially fluid, idiosyncratic nature of learning from their life j

Abstract:

Since Tibet’s abrupt meeting in the 1980s with the modernizing forces of capitalism, science and the Chinese government’s socialist policies on religion, Buddhist culture in Eastern Tibet is shifting towards a valuing of scholastic knowledge over yogic, experiential knowledge. This is evident in contemporary Tibetan discussions where practitioners are criticized who do not marry their meditation and yogic practices with in-depth textual study. It is also evident in a move of monastics from retreat centres to study centres. The shift is particularly apparent in Nang chen (Ch. Nangqian), a forme
