  • La Muerte Y El Proceso De Morir En El Budismo
    LA MUERTE Y EL PROCESO DE MORIR EN EL BUDISMO DEATH AND THE PROCESS OF DYING IN BUDDHISM Autora: Yamel Athie Guerra [email protected] Tutores: José María Prieto Zamora [email protected] Eloy Portillo Aldana [email protected] Máster en Ciencias de la Religión Curso 2013-2014 Instituto de Ciencias de las Religiones Universidad Complutense de Madrid RESUMEN Las creencias religiosas pueden influir en la manera en que la persona próxima a la muerte y sus allegados asumen el proceso de morir. En la tradición budista, la muerte física es un momento de suma importancia que supone la transición de una existencia a otra. La meditación representa una herramienta fundamental que ayuda a entrenar la mente y el cuerpo en el cultivo de la sabiduría que permitirá la eliminación del karma y conducirá a la persona a la eventual liberación total del ciclo de nacimientos y renacimientos o samsara. El sincretismo que la tradición budista tiene con otros credos se puede ver reflejado en las diversas creencias escatológicas de las diferentes escuelas, así como en las prácticas funerarias y en la expresión del duelo, productos del folklore de cada región en donde el Budismo se ha expandido. La conciencia de la transitoriedad de la vida ha sido expresada a través de diversas manifestaciones artísticas y conceptuales que en la actualidad son utilizadas en apoyo a las personas en el proceso de morir. ABSTRACT The religious beliefs could influence the way a person approaches death and their relatives assume such process. In Buddhism tradition, physical death is a moment of supreme importance that supposes the transition of one existence to another.

  • To Hell, with Shakespeare
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com Procedia Social and Behavioral Sciences 7(C) (2010) 317–325 International Conference on Learner Diversity 2010 To Hell, with Shakespeare Lee Eileena,* aSchool of Creative Arts & Communication, Sunway University College, Bandar Sunway, 46150 Petaling Jaya, Malaysia Abstract In the teaching of Shakespearean plays to ESL students, deciphering Shakespeare’s language has often been cited as the main obstacle to comprehending his work. This paper reports on how the researcher tapped on the diverse religious beliefs of the students and used Taoist, Muslim, and Hindu concepts of the afterlife as a prelude to teach and read the Porter’s scene. As a result of the creative methodology used in the class, the ESL students were able to discuss and comprehend Shakespeare’s treatment of Hell and grasp the concept of black comedy in the play. © 2010 Published by Elsevier Ltd. Open access under CC BY-NC-ND license. Keywords: Hell, humor, comic relief, background knowledge/schema, the aesthetic experience 1.Introduction Shakespeare’s language has often been cited as the main obstacle to comprehending his work; whilst this may hold true to a large extent, in the teaching of Shakespeare in the English as a Second Language (ESL) classroom, there are other ‘aspects’/’areas’ in Shakespeare’s plays that are equally demanding for the ESL reader such as the concept of Hell and black humor. Humor is not only relative but it is also time and culture-bound; in the case of the Malaysian classroom, getting students from different ethnic and religious backgrounds to comprehend the black humor in the Porter’s scene in Macbeth is no laughing matter.

  • 2020-02-28 Mehendale Study Guide
    Spring 2020 Arts of Asia Lecture Series Visions of the Afterlife in Asia Sponsored by the Society for Asian Art The Road to Hell: Buddhist Visions of Naraka at Qizil Sanjyot Mehendale, UC Berkeley February 28, 2020 This lecture will address the emergence and development of the concept of hell in West, South, and Central Asia, with particular focus on Buddhism. Presenting a cross-cultural perspective, the lecture will first attempt to show how early traditions in West Asia (Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Judaic, among others) were devoid of a binary choice of heaven and hell and that ideas of good versus evil and divine reward and retribution, so common in later Christian and Islamic traditions, were influenced by Zoroastrian cosmological and ethical concepts of the struggle between the forces of light and darkness. Pivoting to South Asian traditions of the afterlife, one can see a similar trajectory from somewhat vague concepts of a “netherworld” in early Indic thought to more complex systematization of the afterlife in Hinduism and Buddhism with one notable difference, that hell (naraka) and the abode of the gods (among other realms) are not eternal but a series of stages in a cyclical process of life, death and rebirth. Images of Buddhist hell are not common in early Buddhist art and are largely found in Central and East Asia. The second half of this talk will center on the archaeological remains at Qizil (Kizil), an important Buddhist rock-cut cave site near the oasis of Kucha on the so-called Silk Roads, and zero in on a series of murals depicting various Buddhist hells.

  • NARAKA HELLS - an Account of Punishment for Sinful Living Entities
    If you ever wondered where you going after death, just look at the pictures. - PUNISHMENT IN 28 NARAKA HELLS - An account of punishment for sinful living entities Naraka (Sanskrit: नरक) meaning Hell, is a place of punishment for sinful living entities, where sinners are punished and tormented after death. In many scriptures we find details about various hells and sufferings therein. The Śrīmad Bhāgavatam Purāṇa describes different hells called Naraka. Naraka, as a whole, is known by many names conveying that it is the realm of Yama called Yamaloka or Mṛtyuloka – the realm of Death. Naraka-Loka - the hellish planets Naraka or Naraka-loka is also the abode of Yama, the god of Death. After death, the messengers of Yama called Yamadūtas bring all beings to the court of Yamarāja, where he weighs the virtues and the vices of the living beings and accordingly passes the appropriate judgement. Yama-rāja, as Lord of Justice, is also called Dharma-rāja. Yama sends the virtuous to Svarga-loka, the heavenly planets, to enjoy the luxuries of paradise. He also assesses the vices of the sinful and accords judgement, assigning them to appropriate hells as punishment commensurate with the severity and nature of their sins. The hellish planets are ruled by Yamarāja, the son of the sun-god. He resides in Pitṛloka with his personal assistants, performing his duty according to the rules and regulations laid down by the Supreme Lord. At the time of death, when the heart stops beating, the living entity, namely the soul, along with the subtle material body consisting of mind, intelligence and false ego, is dragged out by the subtle creatures, the Yamadūtas, the servants of the lord of death, from his gross material body consisting of earth, water, fire, air and ether.
