  • Relevance of Pali Tipinika Literature to Modern World
    IMPACT: International Journal of Research in Humanities, Arts and Literature (IMPACT: IJRHAL) Vol. 1, Issue 2, July 2013, 83-92 © Impact Journals RELEVANCE OF PALI TIPINIKA LITERATURE TO MODERN WORLD GYANADITYA SHAKYA Assistant Professor, School of Buddhist Studies & Civilization, Gautam Buddha University, Greater Noida, Gautam Buddha Nagar, Uttar Pradesh, India ABSTRACT Shakyamuni Gautam Buddha taught His Teachings as Dhamma & Vinaya. In his first sermon Dhammacakkapavattana-Sutta, after His enlightenment, He explained the middle path, which is the way to get peace, happiness, joy, wisdom, and salvation. The Buddha taught The Eightfold Path as a way to Nibbana (salvation). The Eightfold Path can be divided into morality, mental discipline, and wisdom. The collection of His Teachings is known as Pali Tipinika Literature, which is compiled into Pali (Magadha) language. It taught us how to be a nice and civilized human being. By practicing Sala (Morality), Samadhi (Mental Discipline), and Panna (Wisdom ), person can eradicate his all mental defilements. The whole theme of Tipinika explains how to be happy, and free from sufferings, and how to get Nibbana. The Pali Tipinika Literature tried to establish freedom, equality, and fraternity in this world. It shows the way of freedom of thinking. The most basic human rights are the right to life, freedom of worship, freedom of speech, freedom of thought and the right to be treated equally before the law. It suggests us not to follow anyone blindly. The Buddha opposed harmful and dangerous customs, so that this society would be full of happiness, and peace. It gives us same opportunity by providing human rights.

For some early chapters in the story of this expansion the dates and details are meagre, but on the whole the investigator's chief difficulty is to grasp and marshal the mass of facts relating to the development of religion and civilization in this great region.

    ON THE VERY IDEA OF THE PALI CANON In memory of I.B. Horner! In this paper I address the issue of the formation and role of the Pali Canon? in Theravada history and culture. My perspective is strictly that of an external observer wishing to make a contribution to historical scholarship, or at least to initiate an academic discussion of the issue: I mean to imply no evaluation whatsoever of any way in which the Canon has been or is seen by Theravada Buddhists. From this perspective and for these purposes, I want to suggest that the role of the Canonical texts in Theravada tradition has been misunderstood, and that the usual scholarly focus on the early period of Theravada is misplaced. We must, I will suggest, reject the equation ‘the Pali Canon = Early Buddhism’ ,3 and move away from an outmoded and quixotic concern with origins to what I would see as a properly focussed and realistic historical perspective. Rather than pre-existing the Theravada school, as the textual basis from which it arose and which it sought to preserve, the Pali Canon — by which I mean the closed list of scriptures with a special and specific authority as the avowed historical record of the Buddha’s teaching — should be seen as a product of that school, as part of a strategy of legitimation by the monks of the Mahavihara lineage in Ceylon in the early centuries of the first millenium A.D. It seems to me useful to divide Theravada Buddhist history into three periods, according to the different kinds of evidence which are available to us.* The first or ‘early’ period lasts from the time of the Buddha (whenever that was) to that of ASoka.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 4 8 1 0 6 - 1346 Abstract This study attempts to examine the influence of some specific Mahayana concepts on Sinhalese Buddhism. The first chapter serves as a historical backdrop to the inflow of various non-orthodox movements into Ceylon and records the continuous impact of the Maha­ yana on the Theravada from the earliest times. The second chapter deals with the development of the con­ cept of the threefold bodhi and examines in some detail the way in which the goal of Ceylon Buddhism shifted from the Theravada arahantship to the Mahayana ideal of Buddhahood. Furthermore it suggests that this new ideal was virtually absorbed into Ceylon Buddhism. The next chapter discusses the Mahayana doctrines of trlkaya, vajrakaya .

  • On the Devotion to the Buddha in Paramanuchit's Mārabandha
    On the Devotion to the Buddha in Paramanuchit’s Mārabandha Episode of the Paṭhamasambodhi Phra Akbordin Rattana A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Arts of the University of Otago, Dunedin New Zealand 27 August 2015 Abstract The Paṭhamasambodhi is an important biography of the Buddha, a living story well- known all over mainland Southeast Asia, and an essential element for Southeast Asian art history. In addition, the Mārabandha episode of the Paṭhamasambodhi is a unique story that receives no mention in the Pāli Canon or in the Pāli biographies of the Buddha. It also contains the few parts of the Paṭhamasambodhi corpus that are concerned with events after the Buddha’s Parinibbāna (the final release from the round of rebirth), and a source for ritual, belief, and devotion of Buddha in many parts of Southeast Asia. Moreover, it received the royal patronage of King Rama III (1788-1851), as the king invited Paramanuchit (1790-1853) to edit the Paṭhamasambodhi. This thesis offers the first English translation of the Mārabandha episode of the Paṭhamasambodhi of Paramanuchit, a senior Buddhist monk and key patriarch in the history of Thai Buddhism during the 19th century. Relying on the Paṭhamasambodhi and other Thai sources, it makes three contributions to the study of Thai Buddhism. Firstly, it provides a translation and an analysis of a text that has been largely overlooked by scholars outside of Thailand, especially in English language scholarship. Secondly, it sheds light on the historical figure of Paramanuchit, an influential and respected Buddhist scholar in Siamese Buddhism, who became the Saṅgharāja in 1851.

  • Postcanonieke Literatuur
    Facetten van het Boeddhisme 12a Postcanonieke literatuur samengesteld door Nico Moonen Inleiding Al vroeg in de geschiedenis van het Boeddhisme was er behoefte aan om een leidraad te hebben bij het interpreteren van suttas. Zo ontstonden commentaren. Volgens de traditie werden de commentaren naar Sri Lanka gebracht door Mahinda.1 Over de taal ervan is niets bekend. Waarschijnlijk waren ze – net als de canon – in een aantal dialecten. De canon werd later herleid tot één taal, het Pāli. Of dit ook met de commentaren is gebeurd, is niet bekend.2 Bijna de hele niet-canonieke Pāli literatuur is het werk van geleerde monniken van India, Sri Lanka en Myanmar (Birma). Zij bestudeerden de canonieke teksten en zij legden die teksten ook uit. Zo ontstonden veel commentaren. Dit begon al in India, in het Pāli. De Theravāda school verdween er. Maar in de kloosters van Sri Lanka bleef de studie van de Pāli teksten bestaan. En de Pāli commentaren werden er vertaald in het Singhalees. Alleen de verzen bleven onveranderd in het Pāli. Ook schreven de monniken er commentaren in het Singhalees. e Tevens leerden zij te schrijven in het Pāli. In de 5 ​ eeuw ​ 1 Norman, K.R.: Pâli Literature, including the Canonical Literature ​ ​ in Prakrit and Sanskrit of all the Hînayâna Schools of Buddhism. ​ Wiesbaden: Harrassowitz, 1983, p. 114. 2 Norman 1983, p. 114. ​ begon Buddhaghosa de Singhalese commentaren te vertalen of terug te vertalen in het Pāli. Alle latere werken van Sri Lanka handelen over kerkelijke geschiedenis. Nidānakathā en Mahāvamsa vormden de basis voor ​ ​ ​ geschiedkundige werken. Bodhivamsa, Dāthāvamsa en ​ ​ ​ ​ Thūpavamsa werden later vertaald in het Pāli.
