  • The Paramis a Historical Background by Guy Armstrong
    The Paramis A Historical Background by Guy Armstrong The ascetic Sumedha Four incalculables and one hundred thousand eons before our present age – which is to say a very, very, very long time ago – an ascetic named Sumedha was practicing the path to arahantship when he received word that a fully self-awakened one, a Buddha named Dipankara, was teaching in a town nearby. He traveled there and found Dipankara Buddha being venerated in a long procession attended by most of the townspeople. Sumedha was immediately touched with deep reverence upon seeing the noble bearing and vast tranquility of the Buddha. He realized that to become an arahant would be of great benefit to humankind, but that the benefit to the world of a Buddha was immensely greater. At that very moment, in the presence of Dipankara Buddha, he made a vow to become a Buddha in a future life. This marked his entry into the path of the bodhisattva, a being bound for buddhahood. Just then Sumedha noticed that the Buddha was about to walk through a patch of wet mud. Spontaneously, out of great devotion, he threw his body down in the mud and invited the Buddha and his Sangha to walk over him rather than dirty their feet. As the great teacher passed, Dipankara Buddha read Sumedha’s mind, understood his aspiration, and predicted that the ascetic Sumedha would fulfill his vow to become a Buddha at a time four incalculables and a hundred thousand eons in the future. It was also revealed to Sumedha that had he not made the aspiration to become a Buddha, he would have realized full enlightenment that day by listening to a discourse from Dipankara Buddha.

  • The Mabatha Movement in Myanmar
    POLITICIZED RELIGION AS SOCIAL MOVEMENT IN A NASCENT DEMOCRACY: THE MABATHA MOVEMENT IN MYANMAR By Htet Min Lwin Submitted to Central European University Department of Political Science In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts CEU eTD Collection Supervisor: Professor Matteo Fumagalli Budapest, Hungary 2016 ABSTRACT With the country’s democratic transition, monks in Myanmar started a religious nationalist movement. The aim of the movement is to protect race and religion. The movement succeeded in passing four sets of laws which are largely criticized for its violation of human rights and targeting the country’s minority Muslims. Throughout the trajectory of the movement, this study reveals how the movement was initiated, how it reached the stage of a country-wide network, how it managed to influence politics and to promulgate four sets of laws. I argue that political opportunities are perceived by the monks. Monks, having wide networks as scholars, preachers and influential figures–both in religious and social arenas, play the role of connective structures to enlarge the movement. The interaction with the opposition resulted in the movement relying upon the government of the day to push forward the agenda further to be able to make the four laws. I explain this phenomenon within a) social and historical pretext, b) political opportunities and c) the government’s inclination to use religion to reach their political ends. I argue that the MaBaTha movement–in trying to recruit new members and to sustain the movement–used the frame that the movement’s aims, goals and activities were in accord with the broader teachings of the Buddha, or in other words, in accord with Dhamma.
