  • Buddhism in Sikkim: a Study in Cultural Syncretism Richa Raj*, Alice Rai, Maxine P
    DU Journal of Undergraduate Research and Innovation Volume 1 Issue 2, Page 291-302 Buddhism in Sikkim: A Study in Cultural Syncretism Richa Raj*, Alice Rai, Maxine P. Mathew, Naina Johnson, Neethu Mathew, Osheen Magu, Shivangi Singh, Srishti Gupta, Supriya Sinha, Tanya Ranjan, Urvashi Bhardwaj [email protected] Jesus and Mary College, University of Delhi, Chanakyapuri, New Delhi. 110021 ABSTRACT This study aims at „de-mystifying‟ the diverse Buddhist culture of Sikkim through an analysis of its origins, belief systems, symbols, architecture, as well as the evolving culture of the monasteries using audio and visual documentation and interviews as tools. At the same time it attempts to document the cultural assimilation of other traditions (such as Hinduism) into this religious tradition. It was observed that the religious practices of Buddhism in Sikkim were influenced by the dominant Hindu religion and pre-Buddhist religions such as Bonism. The religious assimilation of different cultures in Buddhism is mainly seen in the ritualistic practices while the architectural style was influenced by the Tibetan and localized artistic forms. This assimilation can be widely viewed among the recently-converted Buddhists, that is, the Tamang and Gurung castes. Keywords: Buddhism, culture, philosophy, rituals, Sikkim, Tibetan. INTRODUCTION About 2,500 years ago, Shakyamuni Buddha attained enlightenment after many years of intensive spiritual practice, leading to the development of one of the world‟s great religions. Standing for compassion, forbearance, love, non-violence and patience, Buddhism further percolated to the neighbouring countries forming its own identity therein. As heresy against Brahmanism, it sprang from the kshatriya clans of eastern India and advocated the middle path.

Mr. Rai will travel with you throughout the duration of your time in India. At an altitude of 4,000 ft, Kalimpong is a pleasant location and its clement weather has made Kalimpong’s orchids and gladiolas well renowned. Up to the early 1700s, the Kalimpong was part of the Sikkim Raja’s domain. In the early 18th century, the Bhutanese king also took it over. In 1865, after the Anglo-Bhutan War, it was annexed to Darjeeling. Scottish Missionaries came here in the late 1800s. The town thrived as a wool trading center with Tibet until the 1950s. Today it’s a quiet hill resort and a haven for retired people. On arrival, check in at the Silver Oaks Hotel, where you’ll have time to relax before dinner this evening, served at the hotel.

Sikkim, the second smallest state in India, with a population of 540,493 [1], is located between Latitudes 27-28°N Longitudes 88-89°E, in the Himalayan arc, in between the Main Boundary Thrust (MBT) and Main Central Thrust (MCT) in one of the most tectonically active regions of the world. The M 6.9 Sikkim earthquake of 18 September 2011 revealed once again the vulnerabilities of the built environment in general in the highly vulnerable Himalayan region due to various reasons ranging from poor choice of location, inadequate detailing, non compliance with codes and use of vulnerable construction systems and typologies. Of particular concern is the damage to cultural heritage of the region. Many of the religious buildings, primarily Buddhist monasteries suffered varying degrees of damage from slight to partial collapse. This paper pre- sents an overview of the general performance of some Buddhist monasteries in Sikkim in the Sep- tember 18, 2011 earthquake and points to the need for urgent intervention for removal of deficiencies. Sutapa Joti, Keya Mitra 1 INTRODUCTION India is located in one of the most earthquake prone regions of the world.
