  • 釋智譽 Phra Kiattisak Ponampon (Kittipanyo Bhikkhu)
    MISSION, MEDITATION AND MIRACLES: AN SHIGAO IN CHINESE TRADITION 釋智譽 PHRA KIATTISAK PONAMPON (KITTIPANYO BHIKKHU) THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN RELIGIOUS STUDIES, UNIVERSITY OF OTAGO, DUNEDIN, NEW ZEALAND OCTOBER 2014 ii ABSTRACT An Shigao is well known for the important role he played in the early transmission of Buddhism into China, and Chinese Buddhists have considered him to be a meditation master for centuries. However, recent scholarship on An Shigao (Zürcher, 2007; Forte, 1995; Zacchetti, 2002; Nattier, 2008) has focused on his role as a precursor of the Mahāyāna, his ordination status, and the authenticity of the texts attributed to him rather than the meditation techniques he used and taught to his followers in China. One reason for this is because his biographies are full of supernatural details, and many of the texts attributed to An Shigao are pseudepigraphia. In the first part of this MA thesis, I explore the biographical traditions about An Shigao. The close reading of the oldest biographies of An Shigao shows that during the time he was active in China, An Shigao was respected as a missionary, a meditation master and a miracle worker as well as a translator. This reputation continued to be important for Chinese Buddhists long after his death. Despite his reputation, his biographies contain almost no information about the form of meditation that he practiced and taught. However they contain much information about his supernatural abilities. In the second part of this MA thesis, I make a statistical analysis of all the meditation sūtras attributed to An Shigao and his school.

    The Safavid potter at the crossroad of styles – Yolande Crowe - 26.1.2007 - 1/10 The Safavid potter at the crossroad of styles Yolande Crowe Forthcoming in: Iran and the World in the Safavid Age, 2007 Recent publications such as The Sea Route from Europe to Asia by Harry Holcroft (2000), or Lords of the East by Joan Sutton (1981), a cycle of conferences such as India, Land and Empire in Lisbon (2002) and even the 2002 exhibition on Trading Places : The East India Company and Asia at the British Library, neglect aspects of the trade which took place on the northern shores of the Gulf in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. Admittedly it was of less impor- tance than the spice trade and other commercial exchanges in ports of India, south-east and far-eastern Asia, but this is not a sound enough reason for neglecting the supplies and demands of Persia in particular. Even international conferences dealing with the ceramic trade pursued by the East India companies, especially the Dutch VOC (Vereenigde Oost-indische Compagnie) and the English East India Company, have omitted to draw attention to the part played by Persia and the Persian potter in the history of world ceramics. Although occasionally the Cape has been mentioned, it is as if there had been no ceramic production nor port of call along the sea route between far-eastern Asia, India and Europe. And yet the Persian contribution was well docu- mented by Volker as recently as 1954 and three years later by Lane1. In his pioneering work Volker presented a list of the transhipments of high-fired wares from the far-east to Asian trading ports including Bandar-Abbas; furthermore he recorded the quantities and approximate shapes of the ceramics.
