I extend you my heartiest greeting for two excellent editions on the Indian Constitution. Undoubtedly Indian constitution came into existence after a long struggle and great deliberations of the learned members of constituent assembly. Constitution of any country reflects the soul and spirit of the nation but for the huge country like India having the richest past civilization and unique blends of diversity in unity,it reflects the philosophy of the past and vision for the future, both. As an academician I always had this feeling that after almost seven decades of independence there is a dire need to re-visit the constitution, to re-evaluate the purpose of its creation and constitutional targets we achieved in past 70 years when India has already seen more than hundred constitutional amendments. These editions beautifully unfold the history and mystery both which is unknown to most of us. Reading constitution is easy but it is difficult to understand the spirit and philosophy between the lines as it is not explicitly mentioned in maximum interpretative texts. The best part of these editions is to bring forward those unheard facts and circumstances behind constitution which were always overlooked by the jurists, judges and law makers in post independent India. Physical, psychological and emotional feelings of the members of constituent assembly drafting constitution could be easily understoodduring the time when the country is passing through the trauma of division and killing of millions of people in the name of religion is going on. How much justified is to portray every provision of this document as most sacred when tall figures ofconstituentassembly themselves considered it as imperfect. Has the time arrived to review certain provisions which giveample scope to the politicians to divide independent India in the name of religion and caste? Undoubtedly with the help of these valuable editions the inside story of the constitution and philosophy of such terms put in the constitution and the need of their review could be better understood and justified now. In the second edition five historic speeches of five iconic historical figures expressing their experience, vision and apprehension of future of India is an eye-opener. SeeingIndependent India through a constitution which is largely based upon the Government of India Act 1935, and the dissent of Mahatma Gandhi over creation of constituent assemblyin those circumstances raises several questions. These editions provide a beautiful opportunity to the readers to visualize the things with the vision of Constitution makers and ignite minds of academicians like me to developnew insight to contemplate about the constitution and its best, worst and missing perspectives. I hope that with the help of theseeditions all those who are working in the field of law should take the responsibility to rethink about the jurisprudence of different provisions used in the constitution to re-interpret and re-invent it in the light of current challenges India is facing. Once again my heartiest congratulation to all the contributors and editor for their sagacious contribution in these brilliant editions. Dr.Seema Singh, Assistant Professor, Faculty of Law, University of Delhi, Delhi 4 Trivishtap Special-I January-March 2020 Editorial pecial issue focussed on Gandhāra was received with avidness, I am grateful! S The story of Gandhāra is a story of its dissociation with Bhārata. In this issue we are discussing about the heavenly plateau of Triviṣṭapa that is spread from the middle of Himalayas to the east.

  • Conversion to Tibetan Buddhism: Some Reflections Bei Dawei
    4 Conversion to Tibetan Buddhism: Some Reflections Bei Dawei Abstract Tibetan Buddhism, it is often said, discourages conversion. The Dalai Lama is one of many Buddhist leaders who have urged spiritual seekers not to convert to Tibetan Buddhism, but to remain with their own religions. And yet, despite such admonitions, conversions somehow occur—Tibetan dharma centers throughout the Americas, Europe, Oceania, and East/Southeast Asia are filled with people raised as Jews, Christians, or followers of the Chinese folk religion. It is appropriate to ask what these new converts have gained, or lost; and what Tibetan Buddhism and other religions might do to better adapt. One paradox that emerges is that Western liberals, who recoil before the fundamentalists of their original religions, have embraced similarly authoritarian, literalist values in foreign garb. This is not simply an issue of superficial cultural differences, or of misbehavior by a few individuals, but a systematic clash of ideals. As the experiences of Stephen Batchelor, June Campbell, and Tara Carreon illustrate, it does not seem possible for a viable “Reform” version of Tibetan Buddhism (along the lines of Reform Judaism, or Unitarian Universalism) ever to arise—such an egalitarian, democratic, critical ethos would tend to undermine the institution of Lamaism, without which Tibetan Buddhism would lose its raison d’être. The contrast with the Chinese folk religion is less obvious, since Tibetan Buddhism appeals to many of the same superstitious compulsions, and there is little direct disagreement. Perhaps the key difference is that Tibetan Buddhism (in common with certain institutionalized forms of Chinese Buddhism) expands through predation upon weaker forms of religious identity and praxis.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract The Gandavyuha-sutra: a Study of Wealth, Gender and Power in an Indian Buddhist Narrative In this thesis, I examine the roles of wealth, gender and power in the Mahay ana Buddhist scripture known as the Gandavyuha-sutra, using contemporary textual theory, narratology and worldview analysis. I argue that the wealth, gender and power of the spiritual guides (kalyanamitras , literally ‘good friends’) in this narrative reflect the social and political hierarchies and patterns of Buddhist patronage in ancient Indian during the time of its compilation. In order to do this, I divide the study into three parts. In part I, ‘Text and Context’, I first investigate what is currently known about the origins and development of the Gandavyuha, its extant manuscripts, translations and modern scholarship.

  • Buddhism As a Pragmatic Religious Tradition
    CHAPTER 1 Introduction: Buddhism as a Pragmatic Religious Tradition Our approach to Religion can be called “vernacular” . [It is] concerned with the kinds of data that may, even- tually, be able to give us some substantial insight into how religions have played their part in history, affect- ing people’s ability to respond to environmental crises; to earthquakes, floods, famines, pandemics; as well as to social ills and civil wars. Besides these evils, there are the everyday difficulties and personal disasters we all face from time to time. Religions have played their part in keeping people sane and stable....We thus see religions as an integral part of vernacular history, as a strand woven into lives of individuals, families, social groups, and whole societies. Religions are like technol- ogy in that respect: ever present and influential to peo- ple’s ability to solve life’s problems day by day. Vernon Reynolds and Ralph Tanner, The Social Ecology of Religion The Buddhist faith expresses itself most authentically in the processions of statues through towns, the noc- turnal illuminations in the streets and countryside. It is on such occasions that communion between the reli- gious and laity takes place . without which the religion could be no more than an exercise of recluse monks. Jacques Gernet, Buddhism in Chinese Society: An Economic History from the Fifth to the Tenth Centuries 1 2 Popular Buddhist Texts from Nepal Whosoever maintains that it is karma that injures beings, and besides it there is no other reason for pain, his proposition is false.... Milindapañha IV.I.62 Health, good luck, peace, and progeny have been the near- universal wishes of humanity.
