Page 4 The Dalai Lama on Twitter 6 Personal experiences 7 Science ‘The Professor’ returns initiative melds best of East, West By CAROL CLARK When you’re talking about cells, are you referring to their minds or their bodies? The question from a Tibetan translator temporarily stumped Emory biologist Arri Eisen. In Tibetan, every organism has a mind and a body, and you have to be speaking about one or the other, explained Geshe Dadul Namgyal, a member of the team translating Western scientific concepts into the Tibetan language. “I told him that Westerners don’t usually think of cells as having a mind,” Eisen recalls. These are the sorts of conversations sparked by a groundbreaking program to bring the best of Western science to Tibetan Buddhist monastics, and the insights of Buddhist meditative practices to Western scientists. Launched in 2006, the program recently became officially known as the Robert A. Paul Emory-Tibet Science Initiative (ETSI). It was the vision of Paul, the former dean of Emory College, and His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama Kay HINTON that led to the formation of the Emory Tibet-Partnership and Dalai Lama’s visit affirms the teaching and research of a special partnership the ETSI. “It’s the way globalization By NANCY SEIDEMAN tangible ways, from a compre- enhanced the University’s should happen — taking the Inside this issue hensive science curriculum for Tibetan Studies Program, best of different traditions Bringing together the “best Tibetan Buddhist monastics which focuses on Tibetan and creating something new,” As the campus prepares of the Western and Tibetan and student-scholar exchange Buddhist philosophy and con- says Eisen, director of Emory’s to welcome His Holiness the Buddhist intellectual tradi- programs, to compassion medi- templative practices and is sup- Program in Science & Society, XIV Dalai Lama as Presidential tions” to create new knowledge tation studies that have fur- ported by a library of more and one of many Emory science Distinguished Professor on for the benefit of humanity has ther revealed the correlation than 30,000 volumes of Tibetan faculty who are involved with Oct. 17-19, this special issue been the goal of the Emory-Tibet between preventive practice texts. developing the ETSI. of Emory Report chronicles Partnership since its inception and improved health.

The major types can be roughly defined as: East Asian with its origins in Imperial China and now encompassing modern Japan and the Korean peninsula; Southeast Asian which encompasses Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines; South Asian states that are made up of India, Burma, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Pakistan as well as several other countries in this region of the Vietnamese meal, in Asian culture food often serves as the centerpiece of social continent; Central Asian and Middle gatherings Eastern. Terminology "Asian cuisine" most often refers to East Asian cuisine (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean), Southeast Asian cuisine and South Asian cuisine. In much of Asia, the term does not include the area's native cuisines. For example, in Hong Kong and mainland China, Asian cuisine is a general umbrella term for Japanese cuisine, Korean cuisine, Filipino cuisine, Thai cuisine, Vietnamese cuisine, Malaysian and Singaporean cuisine, and Indonesian cuisine; but Chinese cuisine and Indian cuisine are excluded. The term Asian cuisine might also be used to Indonesian cuisine address the eating establishments that offer a wide array of Asian dishes without rigid cuisine boundaries; such as selling satay, gyoza or lumpia for an appetizer, som tam, rojak or gado-gado for salad, offering chicken teriyaki, nasi goreng or beef rendang as the main course, tom yam and laksa as soup, and cendol or ogura ice for dessert.

  • A Cross-Cultural Perspective
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by NORA - Norwegian Open Research Archives Vegetarian Foodways A Cross-cultural Perspective Joanna Maria Michalowska Master’s Thesis Department of Social Anthropology UNIVERSITY OF OSLO Spring 2008 2 Summary Vegetarian foodways are relatively universal – identifiable in different parts of the world and in different local contexts. However, owing to the particularities of these local contexts, vegetarian foodways are also culturally specific. I use the empirical example of vegetarianism in Japan on the one hand in order to both illustrate the transnational vegetarian foodways and show them in a context different from the original Western one. On the other hand, vegetarian foodways in Japan serve as an example of a distinct local variant of the transnational phenomenon. In addition, Japan has significantly contributed to the development of the transnational vegetarian foodways by means of the spread to the West of Zen Buddhism, macrobiotics and more general holistic attitudes to food and health, as well as certain foods. I start by presenting developments in modern Western foodways concerning the consumption of meat and attitudes to it, and within these developments, the advancement of vegetarianism as a dietary option, a lifestyle and a social movement. I point out Japan’s contribution to these developments and identify the main tenets of the transnational vegetarian ideology resulting from the meeting of ‘West’ and ‘East’: compassion for all living beings, human health and vitality of vegetarian food, and concern about the natural environment. I proceed to present vegetarianism in Japan through a series of contextualised empirical examples consisting of a vegetarian organisation and four individuals operating in Japanese society.

  • Buddhist Vegetarianism - Wikipedia
    Buddhist vegetarianism - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhist_vegetarianism Buddhist vegetarianism Buddhist vegetarianism is the belief that following a vegetarian diet is implied in the Buddha's teaching. In Buddhism, however, the views on vegetarianism vary between different schools of thought. According to Theravada, the Buddha allowed his monks to eat pork, chicken and fish if the monk was aware that the animal was not killed on their behalf. The Mahayana schools generally recommend a vegetarian diet; according to some sutras the Buddha himself insisted that his followers should not eat the flesh of any sentient being.[1] Monks of the Mahayana traditions that follow the Brahma Net Sutra are forbidden by their vows from eating flesh of any kind. Contents Early Buddhism Views of different schools Theravada View Mahayana view Vajrayana Common practices Theravada Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Taiwanese traditions Japanese traditions Tibetan traditions See also References Further reading External links Early Buddhism The earliest surviving written accounts of Buddhism are the Edicts of Asoka written by King Asoka, a well-known Buddhist king who propagated Buddhism throughout Asia and is honored by both Theravada and Mahayana schools of Buddhism. The authority of the Edicts of Asoka as a historical record is suggested by the mention of numerous topics omitted as well as corroboration of numerous accounts found in the Theravada and Mahayana Tripitakas written down centuries later. [2] Asoka Rock Edict 1 dated to c. 257 BCE mentions the prohibition of animal sacrifices in Asoka’s Maurya Empire as well as his commitment to vegetarianism; however, whether the Sangha was vegetarian in part or in whole is unclear from these edicts.

  • Conceptualizing Personhood for Sustainability: a Buddhist Virtue Ethics Perspective
    sustainability Article Conceptualizing Personhood for Sustainability: A Buddhist Virtue Ethics Perspective Christian U. Becker 1,* and Jack Hamblin 2 1 College of Business, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO 80523, USA 2 Department of Religious Studies, University of Denver, Denver, CO 80210, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: This conceptual paper addresses the role the individual plays in sustainability against the backdrop of the ethical dimensions of sustainability. We discuss the relevance of moral personhood as a basis for sustainability and develop a model of personhood for sustainability. The paper outlines the ethical dimensions of sustainability and discusses the role of individual morality for sustainability from a virtue ethics perspective. We employ a Buddhist virtue ethical approach for conceptualizing a model of the sustainable person that is characterized by sustainability virtues, interdependent personhood, and an inherent concern for the wellbeing of others, nature, and future beings. In contrast to many Western-based conceptions of the individual actor, our model of sustainable person- hood conceptualizes and explains a coherent and inherent individual motivation for sustainability. The paper contributes to the methodological question of how to best consider the individual in sustainability research and sustainability approaches and suggests a conceptual basis for integrating individual, institutional, and systemic aspects of sustainability.

    Dietary Restrictions A guide to eating comfortably in Japan Welcome to Japan! 2 In Case Of Emergency 3 Useful Phrases 3 Common Words For Foods and Allergens 4 ● Vegetarian and Vegan 4 ● Religious Diets (Halal and Kosher) 5 ● Nut Allergy 6 ● Shellfish Allergy (Including Molluscs and Crustaceans) 7 ● Fish Allergy (Limited List) 8 ● Gluten Allergy 9 ● Lactose Intolerance 10 ● Soy Allergy 11 Useful Restaurants 12 1 Welcome to Japan! Japanese cuisine, known as ‘Washoku’, is known around the world for its wide variety of regional and seasonal dishes, created with a high level of passion and artistry and using ingredients found and grown across the island. Whether you’re sampling Sushi in one of Tokyo’s 230 Michelin Star-awarded restaurants or chomping down on Chanko Nabe in a small, hole-in-the-wall style restaurant owned by a former Sumo Wrestler, every meal in Japan can provide you with a truly unforgettable experience. As you may be aware, fish, meat, dairy and soy products are incredibly common ingredients in Japanese food, and you may be surprised to find dairy, fish byproducts or soy in some foods that wouldn’t include those ingredients in your own country. For this reason, many people with restrictive diets (such as vegans, religious diet followers and people with allergies) can find eating in Japan to be a difficult and limited experience. Thankfully, Heartland JAPAN is here to help! By following this guide, you will find that eating in Japan doesn’t have to be a worrying or difficult experience, and that there are actually many options available to suit every possible diet.

  • Matthieu Ricard: 'Eternity Is Awfully Long, Especially Near the End'
    Matthieu Ricard: ‘Eternity is awfully long, especially near the end’ ft.com/content/b697c88a-a419-11ea-92e2-cbd9b7e28ee6 June 5, 2020 After so long under lockdown, what better lunch companion than the “happiest man in the world”? Matthieu Ricard pops up on my iPhone screen, instantly recognisable by his warm smile and dark red and orange monastic robes. The 74-year-old biologist-turned-Buddhist, the French interpreter to the Dalai Lama, gained the epithet — which, by the way, he thinks absurd — in the 2000s, after taking part in a 12-year study on the long-term impact of meditation. Through decades of training, he was found to have significantly altered the structure of his brain. The results sent camera crews rushing to the Himalayas to discover his secret (spoiler alert: there isn’t one — it’s a lifetime of hard work). And it later led the media to christen him “the world’s happiest man”. Ricard is the ideal guest for these anxious times. He has an intimate know​ledge of solitude, having spent a total of five years of his life in contemplative retreat. He’s the first to admit that “confinement, of course, for me it’s a wonderful thing”. His advice for the rest of us? “Make peace with your own mind . and then the time will not feel so heavy and so difficult.” In a nod to Ricard’s stints in retreat, I have come to a remote sanctuary of my own: a small hut in the hills near my home in south-west Scotland.
