  • Esoteric, Chan and Vinaya Ties in Tang Buddhism the Ordination Platform of the Huishan Monastery on Mount Song in the Religious Policy of Emperor Daizong
    Esoteric, Chan and vinaya ties in Tang Buddhism The ordination platform of the Huishan monastery on Mount Song in the religious policy of Emperor Daizong Abstract This paper explores the reconstruction of the ordination platform in the Huishan monastery 會 善寺 on Mount Song in 767 in the context of the reinforcement of pro-Buddhist policies at the court of Emperor Daizong 代宗 (r. 762–779). The vinaya monks and state officials who engaged in this platform’s reconstruction are identified as associates of two prominent monastic figures: Amoghavajra (Bukong jin’gang 不空金剛; 704–774), an Esoteric leader at the imperial court; and Songshan Puji 嵩山普寂 (651–739), regarded as the seventh patriarch in the Northern Chan tradition. The key roles played by disciples of these two masters in the reconstruction of the Huishan platform attest to significant congruence in ritual practices between proponents of the Esoteric and Chan groups in Tang dynasty China, primarily in the areas of precept conferral and monastic ordination. Keywords Mount Song, Huishan monastery, Northern Chan, Esoteric Buddhism, vinaya, precept conferral Introduction During the Tang dynasty, the reign of Emperor Daizong 代宗 (r. 762–779) was second only to the reign of Empress Wu Zetian 武則天 (r. 690–705) in terms of imperial patronage of Buddhism. Daizong assumed the role of universal Buddhist monarch (cakravartin) and granted the Buddhist saṅgha and its foremost leader Amoghavajra (Ch. Bukong jin’gang 不空金剛; 704–774) an unprecedented amount of power.1 In 767, at the start of a new era that Daizong named Dali 大曆 (Grand Reign), many large-scale Buddhist projects were realized under the 1 Amoghavajra, an Esoteric master of allegedly Sogdian origin, became a paramount Buddhist leader at the imperial court during a period of highly militarized political turbulence in the territorial centre of the Tang Empire following the rebellion of General An Lushan 安祿山 (703–757) in 755.

  • Chronicling Graphic Design Trends of Pakistan Postage Stamps (1948 – 2018)
    PUTAJ – Humanities and Social Sciences Vol. 27, No.2, (July-December), 2020 _______________________________________________________________________________ Chronicling Graphic Design Trends of Pakistan Postage Stamps (1948 – 2018) Muhammad Sher Ali Khan1 Abstract The paper aims to investigate and chronicle the graphic design trends of Pakistan postage stamps by examining the stamps issued during the past seventy years (1948- 2018). The study mainly focuses on the modes of illustration and printing methods; however, other design fades and significant features are also interpreted. The study reveals that Pakistan postage stamps offer three obvious graphic trends; divided into era- defining periods. Era-I (1948-64) is termed as line art, further split into monochromatic (1948-54) and polychromatic (1955-64). Era-II (1965-70) is characterized by clipart and halftone, whereas Era-III (1971-2018) is coined as photographic. Furthermore, almost all stamps from 1948 to 1957 were printed in intaglio process while gravure, serigraphy and emboss techniques were also used for stamp printing. Majority of stamps, particularly from 1970s, were printed in offset lithography. Keywords: Postage stamps, stamp designing and printing, graphic trends, Pakistan postage stamps, philately The „Penny Black‟ was not merely a great reform in the postal history but also a revolutionary mark in the design and printing industry. This first prepaid adhesive postage stamp of the world issued by Great Britain was validated on 6th May 1840, and it was such an innovative and effective idea that within a decade almost every major nation who had a postal system adopted this new postal device with full satisfaction. However, it took a century or more to consider postage stamp something other than a tiny sticker exploited as a token of prepayment for sending letters and parcels, and after its target delivery it loses its life; and importance for everyone but philatelists; those who collects and study postage stamps and related items.

  • Introduction 1 What Is Sufism? History, Characteristics, Patronage
    Notes Introduction 1 . It must be noted that even if Sufism does indeed offer a positive mes- sage, this does not mean that non-Sufi Muslims, within this dichotomous framework, do not also offer similar positive messages. 2. We must also keep in mind that it is not merely current regimes that can practice illiberal democracy but also Islamist governments, which may be doing so for power, or based on their specific stance of how Islam should be implemented in society (Hamid, 2014: 25–26). 3 . L o i m e i e r ( 2 0 0 7 : 6 2 ) . 4 . Often, even cases that looked to be solely political actually had specific economic interests underlying the motivation. For example, Loimeier (2007) argues that in the cases of Sufi sheikhs such as Ahmad Khalifa Niass (b. 1946), along with Sidi Lamine Niass (b. 1951), both first seemed to speak out against colonialism. However, their actions have now “be[en] interpreted as particularly clever strategies of negotiating privileged posi- tions and access to scarce resources in a nationwide competition for state recognition as islamologues fonctionnaries ” (Loimeier, 2007: 66–67). 5 . There have been occasions on which the system was challenged, but this often occurred when goods or promises were not granted. For example, Loimeier (2007: 63) explains that the times when the relationship seemed to be questioned were times when the state was having economic issues and often could not provide the benefits people expected. When this happened, Murid Sufi leaders at times did speak out against the state’s authority (64).

Foguangsi on Mount Wutai: Architecture of Politics and Religion Abstract Foguangsi (Monastery of Buddha’s Radiance) is a monastic complex that stands on a high terrace on a mountainside, in the southern ranges of Mount Wutai, located in present-day Shanxi province. The mountain range of Wutai has long been regarded as the sacred abode of the Bodhisattva Mañjuśrī and a prominent center of the Avataṃsaka School. Among the monasteries that have dotted its landscape, Foguangsi is arguably one of the best-known sites that were frequented by pilgrims. The er discovery of Foguangsi by modern scholars in the early 20th century has been considered a “crowning moment in the modern search for China’s ancient architecture”. Most notably, the Buddha Hall, which was erected in the Tang dynasty (618-907 CE), was seen as the ideal of a “vigorous style” of its time, and an embodiment of an architectural achievement at the peak of Chinese civilization.

  • Governing Those Who Live an “Ignoble Existence”: Frontier Administration and the Impact of Native Tribesmen Along the Tang D
    Governing those who live an “ignoble existence”: Frontier administration and the impact of native tribesmen along the Tang dynasty’s southwestern frontier, 618-907 A.D. by Cameron R. Stutzman A.S., Johnson & Wales University, 2008 B.A., Colorado State University, 2011 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2018 Approved by: Major Professor Dr. David A. Graff Copyright © Cameron R. Stutzman 2018. Abstract As the Tang dynasty rose to power and expanded into the present-day provinces of Sichuan and Yunnan, an endemic problem of troublesome frontier officials appeared along the border prefectures. Modern scholars have largely embraced Chinese historical scholarship believing that the lawlessness and remoteness of these southwestern border regions bred immoral, corrupt, and violent officials. Such observations fail to understand the southwest as a dynamic region that exposed assigned border officials to manage areas containing hardship, war, and unreceptive aboriginal tribes. Instead, the ability to act as an “effective” official, that is to bring peace domestically and abroad, reflected less the personal characteristics of an official and rather the relationship these officials had with the local native tribes. Evidence suggests that Tang, Tibetan, and Nanzhao hegemony along the southwestern border regions fluctuated according to which state currently possessed the allegiance of the native tribesmen. As protectors and maintainers of the roads, states possessing the allegiance of the local peoples possessed a tactical advantage, resulting in ongoing attacks and raids into the border prefectures by China’s rivals.
