  • Asahi Falls —Mendicant Shakuhachi Monks and the Izu Pennisula— Christopher Yohmei Blasdel
    Asahi Falls —Mendicant Shakuhachi Monks and the Izu Pennisula— Christopher Yohmei Blasdel Asahi Falls, Ōdaira, Izu. Photograph by the author. 1 The anfractuous road from Shūzen-ji to the Amagi Pass winds through the middle of the mountainous Izu Peninsula. It cuts across small villages, traverses deep rivers filled with fresh, running waters and traces hairpin curves that straddle exquisitely terraced rice paddies. Every turn offers a stunning vista of towering mountains and verdant slopes. These views are juxtaposed with glimpses of local daily life as village residents make their way back and forth from school, shopping or their work in the fields and forests. One of the small communities the road passes along the way is Ōdaira. From the center of this settlement, a small lane leaves the road and makes its way up westward to the edge of the mountain, where is situated the remains of an old temple, a shrine and a magnificent waterfall that cascades from on high out of the forested hillside. This eastward-facing waterfall is named Asahi Daki (“Morning-sun waterfall”), and the name of temple—or the empty space where it once stood—is Rōgen-ji (literally, “origin of the waterfall”). A sign at the entrance to the area tells the visitor that Rōgen-ji was a ko- musō temple. Komusō, the sign informs us, were a band of itinerant monks who covered their heads with deep basket hats, called tengai, and wandered the Japanese countryside playing the shakuhachi bamboo flute and begging for alms. These monks belonged to the Fuke Sect, which was loosely connected to the Rinzai sect of Zen Buddhism, and Rōgen-ji was an affiliate temple of Rei- hō-ji Temple in Ōme, now a municipality of Tokyo in western mountainous re- gion.

  • The Straight Path: Islam Interpreted by Muslims by Kenneth W. Morgan
    Islam -- The Straight Path: Islam Interpreted by Muslims return to religion-online 47 Islam -- The Straight Path: Islam Interpreted by Muslims by Kenneth W. Morgan Kenneth W. Morgan is Professor of history and comparative religions at Colgate University. Published by The Ronald Press Company, New York 1958. This material was prepared for Religion Online by Ted and Winnie Brock. (ENTIRE BOOK) A collection of essays written by Islamic leaders for Western readers. Chapters describe Islam's origin, ideas, movements and beliefs, and its different manifestations in Africa, Turkey, Pakistan, India, China and Indonesia. Preface The faith of Islam, and the consequences of that faith, are described in this book by devout Muslim scholars. This is not a comparative study, nor an attempt to defend Islam against what Muslims consider to be Western misunderstandings of their religion. It is simply a concise presentation of the history and spread of Islam and of the beliefs and obligations of Muslims as interpreted by outstanding Muslim scholars of our time. Chapter 1: The Origin of Islam by Mohammad Abd Allah Draz The straight path of Islam requires submission to the will of God as revealed in the Qur’an, and recognition of Muhammad as the Messenger of God who in his daily life interpreted and exemplified that divine revelation which was given through him. The believer who follows that straight path is a Muslim. Chapter 2: Ideas and Movements in Islamic History, by Shafik Ghorbal The author describes the history and problems of the Islamic society from the time of the prophet Mohammad as it matures to modern times.

  • Buddhist Music Review, 1998
    Buddhism's twentyfive hundred year history has found this tradition living in the heart of many Eastern cultures in how these cultures express wisdom and compassion through chant and instrumental interpretations. With the increasing interest in the philosophy and practice of Buddhism in the West, this important collection of Buddhist chants and music opens a whole new horizon for practitioners and students of this tradition. In this collection, we can hear the humid sounds of Vietnam in the chanting of teacher Thich Nhat Hanh. And we also touch the robust strength of Korea's rugged mountains in the chanting of Zen Master Seung Sahn. The Tendai chants remind us of the Gregorian tradition where there is an absence of harmony and a presence of the community in unison. The haunting sound of the shakuhachi reminds us of the stark and beautiful simplicity of Japanese Zen practice. Included also are chants and instrumentals by Buddhist practitioners from Sri Lanka, Tibet, and China. In this way, we have here a wealth of Buddhist chant and music that reflects the profoundly rich cultural interpretations of a vision and practice that arose in India over two millenia ago. Interestingly enough, music is an integral part of Buddhist practice. I know of no school of Buddhism that does not include music as an integral element of the tradition. However, this is not music as we know it. Buddhist chant and percussion practice in particular is created for the purpose of inducing meditative states of consciousness. Obviously from this collection, we see that we are talking about differing states of meditation, from the rich visualization-based practices of meditation of the Tibetans who use overtone chanting and resounding symbols, horns, and drums, to the gentle and rather sweetish tones of Vietnamese Buddhism where lovingkindness is emphasized.

Morley for the degree of Master ofArts in the Interdisciplinary Studies Program: Asian Studies to be taken June 2009 Title: THE GODDESSES' SHRINE FAMILY: THE MUNAKATA THROUGH THE KAMAKURA ERA This thesis presents an historical study ofthe Kyushu shrine family known as the Munakata, beginning in the fourth century and ending with the onset ofJapan's medieval age in the fourteenth century. The tutelary deities ofthe Munakata Shrine are held to be the progeny ofthe Sun Goddess, the most powerful deity in the Shinto pantheon; this fact speaks to the long-standing historical relationship the Munakata enjoyed with Japan's ruling elites. Traditional tropes ofJapanese history have generally cast Kyushu as the periphery ofJapanese civilization, but in light ofrecent scholarship, this view has become untenable. Drawing upon extensive primary source material, this thesis will provide a detailed narrative ofMunakata family history while also building upon current trends in Japanese historiography that locate Kyushu within a broader East Asian cultural matrix and reveal it to be a central locus of cultural production on the Japanese archipelago.

Almost all are Japanese terms. The dictionary can be used in the ordinary way if the Shintō term you want to look up is already in Japanese (e.g. kami rather than ‘deity’) and has a main entry in the dictionary. If, as is very likely, the concept or word you want is in English such as ‘pollution’, ‘children’, ‘shrine’, etc., or perhaps a place-name like ‘Kyōto’ or ‘Akita’ which does not have a main entry, then consult the comprehensive Thematic Index of English and Japanese terms at the end of the Dictionary first.

  • Transmission and Preservation of Musical Intangible Cultural Heritage in Chinese Buddhism Zhai Fengjian (Trans
    1 Transmission and Preservation of Musical Intangible Cultural Heritage in Chinese Buddhism Zhai Fengjian (Trans. Mingmei Yip) Following its introduction into China, Buddhism became sinicized over the years. Buddhist music developed in two directions – ritual music and folk music. The intended audience for the former is metaphysical beings such as Buddha, Bodhisattva and spirits, while the latter is for living beings. The former maintains a solemn and reverent tone due to its sanctity. In contrast, Buddhist folk music has absorbed music from different regions and thus possesses different local flavors. Before the founding of PRC, there was little research on Buddhist music in China with the exception of musicologist Liu Tianhua’s recording of Buddhist music in the thirties. More extensive research on the subject had begun in the 1950s, notably with Yang Yinliu’s publications entitled “Zhihua Temple Music” and “Hunan Music Census Report Appendix · Religion Music”. These have become the models for field work on China’s folk music. Another influential work “Temple Music” published by the China Musicians Association, Chengdu Branch in 1955. This was the largest collection of Buddhist music during that time. Since the 1980s, to preserve the heritage of folk culture, the Ministry of culture together with and other units launched the Compilation Project of China’s Top Ten Literature and Art Collection Recordings. The first three publications were: “Collection of Chinese Folk Songs”, “Collection of Chinese Folk Instrumental Music”, and “Collection of Chinese Opera Music”. Since then, collection and research on Buddhist music has resulted in many additional publications. One notably Buddhist music scholar is Yang Yinliu’s student Tian Qing who visited about 200 temples in several provinces and was the first to record much Buddhist music.

  • Full Volume 22
    Ethnomusicology Review 22(1) From the Editors Samuel Lamontagne and Tyler Yamin Welcome to Volume 22, issue 1 of Ethnomusicology Review! This issue features an invited essay along with three peer-reviewed articles that cover a wide range of topics, geographical areas, methodological and theoretical approaches. As it seems to be a characteristic of ethnomusicology at large, this variety, even if it has become an object of critical inquiry itself (Rice, 1987, 2007; Laborde, 1997), has allowed the discipline, by grounding itself in reference to the context of study, to not take “music” for granted. It is in this perspective that we’d like to present this volume, and the variety of its contributions. In his invited essay, Jim Sykes asks what ramifications of the Anthropocece, understood as a socio-ecological crisis, hold for the field of music studies and the politics of its internal disciplinary divisions. Drawing upon scholars who assert that the Anthropocene demands not only concern about our planet’s future but also critical attention towards the particular, historically situated ontological commitments that engendered this crisis, Sykes argues that music studies both depends on and reproduces a normative model of the world in which music itself occupies an unproblematized metaphysical status—one that, furthermore, occludes the possibility of “reframe[ing] music history as a tale about the maintenance of the Earth system” (14, this issue) urgently necessary as anthropogenic climate change threatens the continuation of life as usual. By taking seriously the material and discursive aspects of musical practice often encountered ethnographically, yet either explained away by “the worldview embedded in our disciplinary divisions or .
