The original name Myo-beop-hwa-gyeong(묘법화경, 妙法華經, Saddharma-ka Sutra) had been taught by Sakyamoni Hananim Buddha in the heaven. The evidence to support the destruction of bul-beop is shown in the title “Saddharma Pundarika Sutra(묘법연화경, 妙法蓮華經)” known as ‘Lotus Sutra’. Lotus(연, 蓮, Pundari) is Gwan-se-eum bosal(관세음보살, 觀世音菩薩, Avalokitesvara bodhisattva)’s emblem. So the evil deity Sakyamoni added the word ‘Pundari(연, 蓮)’ to Myo-beop-hwa-gyeong(묘법화경, 妙法華經, Saddharma-ka Sutra) because he was conscious of Vaidehi(Deity’s name : Gwan-se-eum bo-sal) at the time.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract This thesis consists of seven chapters. It is designed to survey and analyse the teachings of the Bodhisattva ideal and its gradual development in selected Buddhist scriptures. The main issues relate to the evolution of the teachings of the Bodhisattva ideal. The Bodhisattva doctrine and practice are examined in six major stages. These stages correspond to the scholarly periodisation of Buddhist thought in India, namely (1) the Bodhisattva’s qualities and career in the early scriptures, (2) the debates concerning the Bodhisattva in the early schools, (3) the early Mahayana portrayal of the Bodhisattva and the acceptance of the six perfections, (4) the Bodhisattva doctrine in the earlier prajhaparamita-siltras\ (5) the Bodhisattva practices in the later prajnaparamita texts, and (6) the evolution of the six perfections (paramita) in a wide range of Mahayana texts.

  • For the Love of Dogs: Finding Compassion in a Time of Famine in Pali Buddhist Stories
    religions Article For the Love of Dogs: Finding Compassion in a Time of Famine in Pali Buddhist Stories Phyllis Granoff Department of Religious Studies, Yale University, New Haven, CT 06520, USA; [email protected] Received: 15 February 2019; Accepted: 8 March 2019; Published: 12 March 2019 Abstract: This paper focuses on stories from the 13th century Rasavahin¯ ¯ı in which feeding a starving dog is described as an act of great merit, equal even to the care of a monk or the Buddha. It begins with a reevaluation of passages from Buddhist texts that have been taken by scholars as evidence of pan- Buddhist concern for taking care of animals. It argues that they have been over-read and that the Rasavahin¯ ¯ı stories are distinctive. The setting in which these acts occur, a catastrophic famine, helps us to understand the transformation of the despised dog into an object of compassion. In such dire circumstances, when humans themselves behave like animals, compassion for a starving dog is both a new recognition of a fundamental shared kinship between human and animal and a gesture of recovering lost humanity. Keywords: dogs; Buddhism; famine; merit 1. Introduction A wide range of Buddhist texts teach that being reborn as an animal is a retribution for grievous sin. Given that as a starting point, it follows naturally that life as an animal is a life of pain and suffering.1 Indeed, the pain and suffering in the animal realm are likened to the torments of hell.2 Those in hell may receive succor from the visits of monks, the light emanated from the Buddha, from Bodhisattvas like Ks.itigarbha and Avalokote´svara,or from the performance of rituals done by ordinary mortals and pious donations of relatives.

  • Historical Analysis of Bauddha Stupa, Kassap Buddha and Shringa Rishi by Dhakal, Devraj
    Historical Analysis of Bauddha Stupa, Kassap Buddha and Shringa Rishi By Dhakal, Devraj Mr. Dhakal is PhD Scholar from Lumbini Boudha University. Contact at devraj.dhakal1960@ gmail.com Abstract The historical Analysis of Baudha Stupa and Kassap Buddha is the study of the history of Baudha stupa of Baudha Kathmandu Nepal. The main objective of the study is to analyze the historical importance of Boudhanath Stupa and Kasyap Buddha. Comparative Historical Analysis (CHA) method has been applied to analyze the collected facts and information. The story of Nalanika (Nalanika Jatak Katha) claims that Shringa (Having a horn in head) sage was the grandson of Kassap and son of Vibhandak sages was born in Mahalaxmi municipality, Lankuri Bhanjyang Shringa Rishi Ashram. Therefore, Kassap Buddha had visited and settled few times in the municipality. Thus Baudha Stupa – made by relics of Kassap Budha- Baudha Kathmandu has clear relation with Shringa Rishi Ashram of Lalitpur. Keywords: Baudhanath, Kassap Buddha, Shringa Rishi Background Rishya Shringa the Grandson of Kassap Buddha and son of sage Bibhandak was also a famous sage Bodhisattaw of the time. At this time penance of sage Shringa, Sakka -king of heaven was frightened and to break penance of the sage he had sent a nymph(Urbashi) or princess of the kingdom, in Shringa Rishi’s Ashram. The nymph/ princess was called as Nalanika. She had very long discussion with Risya Sringa about love, relation and importance of family. The discussion is called Nalanika Jatak in Buddhist philosophy. But Shringa Rishi was very strong in his values and ideologies. She was not able to break his penance so in Buddha’s age, she became Yasodhara –Spouse of Lord Buddha.

  • Why the Buddha “Hesitated”
    SD 12.1 Why the Buddha ―hesitated‖ to teach Why the Buddha “Hesitated” To Teach 1 Events leading up to the first discourse Source: Piya Tan, ―The Buddha and His Disciples‖ lecture series, Singapore, ©2002; rev ed ©2005 H BRAHMĀ SAHAMPATI E 1 Someone to show respect to 1.1 Ancient Indian teachers, especially the brahminical gurus, were generally reluctant to Rteach others. Where these ancient teachers did give their teachings, they would usually hold something back by way of the ―guru‘s fist‖ (ācariya.muhi) (D 2:100 = S 5:153).1 As such, it is natural for the Buddha not to immediately declare his newly-realized truth, as it were. He is mere- Ely keep ing to the religious convention of his times. 1.2 The Gārava Sutta (or Uruvelā Sutta 1) (A 4.21) gives important insight into the Bud- dha‘s ―hesitation‖ to teach, revealing a humble and sensitive side of the Buddha. This event occurred during the fifth week after the great awakening while the Buddha is sitting under the Goatherd Banyan Tree, when this thought arises in the newly awakened Buddha: ―One dwells in suffering if one is without reverence and deference. Now what ascetic or brahmin can I honour and respect and dwell in dependence on?‖2 With this thought, the Buddha reflects to whom he should turn as teacher to fulfill any unful- filled virtue, any unfulfilled concentration, any unfulfilled wisdom, any unfulfilled liberation, any unfulfilled knowledge and vision of liberation, but he found no one more accomplished in these qualities than he himself, and as such found no one to honour and respect.
