Séance d’introduction : comparer des rituels bouddhiques - John Holt (Bowdoin College, Maine, USA) : Rituals across Buddhist cultures. My paper begins with a discussion about how and why we can compare ritual expressions across a number of historically related religious cultures, especially the value of comparison within the context of Theravada Buddhist inflected religious cultures in Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia. To illustrate my point, I will note how kathina, the Buddhist monastic rite of robe investiture, has been imagined within the canonical Vinayapitaka, before comparing the nature of its performance in Sinhala contexts, in juxtaposition to a contemporary urban Burmese performance. The further interpretive pay off of this particular comparative exercise yields an understanding not limited to the ritual context of kathina per se, but also allows us to advance an empirically- based observation about the defining importance of dana (giving) for Burmese religious culture. 22/12. Rituels pour célébrer ou honorer des maîtres - Alexander Horstmann (U. de Tallinn, Estonie) : The prosperous ascetic: Staging authority in northern Thai/Burmese Buddhists saints’ birthday ceremonies. In the borderland of Thailand, Myanmar, China and Laos, there is a new generation of Buddhist saints who are in the center of the revitalization of Theravada Buddhism or a type of it, that I like to call charismatic capitalism. Branding themselves as Buddhist savior-kings, bodhisattva and monument builders, thousands of devotees from the region as well as from the Bangkok metropolis attend the birthday ceremony of these saints. In such a ceremony, the saintliness is sanctified by the Khuba’s alleged redistribution of the acquired wealth to Buddhism. Basing itself on the cases of Khuba Saengla in Tachileik, Khuba Boonchum in Muang Pong, and Khuba Ariyachart in Northern Thailand, this talk will focus on the strategies and aspirations in the reproduction of charisma (in Thai: baramee) and authority (also: authenticity). It will explore the deep ties, exchanges, activities and transactions of the Buddhist saints with their diverse faith communities—other influential monks, wealthy urban business and political elite, the Bangkok middle class as well as impoverished highland communities—to mobilize donations and people’s faith (in Thai: sattha) to construct monumental religious buildings. The talk offers a comprehensive and thick description of the public ritual staged to celebrate the master on the day of his birthday—including the place of mass mediated images. The ritual is part of a cyclical ritualization and ritual celebration of monks, including the Offering of the new robes to the monk and the bathing of the monk during the New Year. The birthday ceremony is part of the cosmology of Theravada Buddhism in the Tai-speaking Mekong region, but has been transformed into spectacular consumption of ordinary Buddhist ritual. The birthday ceremony of the saint also has connections and similarities to a pilgrimage and raises expectations of healing and prosperity from the saint’s followers. The talk will also discuss tensions arising from the proximity or distance of different saints to the Sangha as well as to centers of political power. - Elizabeth Williams-Oerberg (U. de Copenhague) : “The Rockstar Monk with a mission”: The millennial celebration of Naropa and his modern reincarnation (Ladakh, northern India). In September 2016, the Northwest Indian Himalayan region of Ladakh witnessed Naropa 2016: the ‘Kumbh Mela of the Himalayas’ and the largest Buddhist festival in the history of Ladakh. The Naropa festival, held every 12 years, is centered around a ritual of revealing six bone ornaments said to have been worn upon the moment of enlightenment by the Mahasiddha Naropa, an 11th century Indian scholar-saint. The Gyalwang Drukpa Rinpoche, head of the Drukpa Kagyu sect of Tibetan Buddhism and revered as a reincarnation of Naropa, dons these ornaments in an elaborate ritual, a ritual said to cause “liberation upon sight”. The Naropa 2016 festival, while still centered on this ritual, was also transformed into “a carnival of spirituality, beauty, culture, sights and sounds” with “a touch of sportsmanship, tradition, modernization and compassion” according to the Naropa festival website (www.naropafestival.org). Additional entertainment elements were included in the festival, such as an archery competition, fashion show, world class magic show, a 3D video projection in the Himalayas (first of its kind in the world), a debate on the modernization of Buddhism, local cultural performances, performances by the Kung Fu nuns, and rock concerts by renowned Bollywood celebrities. At the center of the entire 8-day festival was Drukpa Rinpoche, heralded as a Buddhist leader of the modern world- a “rockstar monk with a mission” as one Indian news agency reports. This presentation takes a closer look at the transformation of the Naropa festival into spectacle and celebration of this charismatic and modern-day leader of Drukpa Kagyu followers worldwide. The global influence of Drukpa Rinpoche and his efforts to revitalize Buddhism, while lauded by many, are not unambiguously welcomed. Throughout the presentation we take a closer look at how this “rockstar monk” attempts to enact these transformations, as well as how they are perceived by Ladakhis, revealing a complex web of influence, networks and visions for Buddhism in 21st century Ladakh. 12/1. Rituels de culte de grandes divinités bouddhiques - Nicolas Sihlé (CNRS) : Rassemblements rituels et collectivité de spécialistes religieux : le cas des grands rituels des tantristes du Repkong (nord-est tibétain). Cette séance étant consacrée aux rituels collectifs de culte de grandes divinités bouddhiques, il s’agira d’abord de situer l’objet : l’expression « divinité bouddhique » va de soi surtout dans un contexte Mahayana, mais n’est pas entièrement dépourvue de pertinence dans le monde du Theravada. La catégorie même de « rituel de culte » d’une telle divinité désigne une finalité rituelle assez générique (très courante dans le bouddhisme tantrique), qui peut se présenter sous des modalités variées et s’accommoder d’objectifs additionnels et d’instrumentalisations fort divers. Le cœur de cette présentation sera dédié à l’examen de l’importance cruciale que revêtent de tels cultes pour une grande collectivité de spécialistes tantriques tibétains dans le district de Repkong (province du Qinghai), collectivité devenue célèbre depuis deux siècles dans le nord-est tibétain sous le nom de « collectivité de tantristes de Repkong, les 1900 porteurs de dague rituelle ». Il s’agit d’une collectivité de spécialistes non monastiques, vivant dans plusieurs dizaines de villages, pour lesquels les rassemblements rituels en question sont la principale manifestation

  • Buddhism in the Late Konbaung Period(1819-1885)
    BUDDHISM IN THE LATE KONBAUNG PERIOD(1819-1885) PhD DISSERTATION KO KO NAING DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY UNIVERSITY OF MANDALAY MYANMAR JUNE, 2010 BUDDHISM IN THE LATE KONBAUNG PERIOD(1819-1885) University of Mandalay BUDDHISM IN THE LATE KONBAUNG PERIOD(1819-1885) A Dissertation Submitted to the University of Mandalay In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in History Department of History Ko Ko Naing 4 PhD(R)-Hist-22 Mandalay, Myanmar June, 2010 ABSTRACT This paper is an analysis of Buddhism in the late Konbaung Period. How Buddhism was introduced into Myanmar is discussed. How the Myanmars professed a mixture of Buddhism and their traditional beliefs is explained. Among the seven kings who supported the Religion in Myanmar, two—Kings Badon and Mindon—reigned in the late Konbaung Period. King Badon’s personal views and progressive ideas concerning the Religion are touched upon. How the kings purified the Religion partly to facilitate their rule is discussed. The monks formed separate sects in the late Konbaung period even though they did not differ from one another in robes, literature, doctrine or goal. However, the kings’ support was important for a sect to stand on its own. In the late Konbaung Period, the Fifth Buddhist Synod, which was the first Buddhist Synod held in Myanmar, was convened. That the Buddhist synod convened by King Mindon was not necessary for the Religion and that he convened it only to defy the British who had annexed Lower Myanmar and to assume the title Pyinsama Thangayanatin Mintaya (the Convener of the Fifth Buddhist Synod) are discussed.

Many place names were either given new spellings to correct British mistransliterations or replaced by their pre-colonial era names. For example Pagan was replaced by Bagan, Rangoon by Yangon, and Maymyo by Pyin 00 Lwin. However, these new names are not widely used outside (or, for some, inside) the country, and most recent literature has retained the old names and spellings. Hence, to avoid confusion, the old names and spellings will also be retained in this text (including the terms "Burma," "Burman," and "Burmese"). It should be noted that specialists on Burma make an important distinction between "Burman" and "Burmese. II The term Burmese refers to all the people who are citizens of the Union of Burma (Myanmar).

  • Non-Violence, Asceticism, and the Problem of Buddhist Nationalism
    genealogy Article Non-Violence, Asceticism, and the Problem of Buddhist Nationalism Yvonne Chiu 1,2 1 Strategy and Policy Department, U.S. Naval War College, Newport, RI 02841, USA; [email protected] 2 Hoover Institution, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305, USA; [email protected] Received: 19 February 2020; Accepted: 25 August 2020; Published: 16 September 2020 Abstract: Contemporary Buddhist violence against minority Muslims in Myanmar is rightfully surprising: a religion with its particular moral philosophies of non-violence and asceticism and with its functional polytheism in practice should not generate genocidal nationalist violence. Yet, there are resources within the Buddhist canon that people can draw from to justify violence in defense of the religion and of a Buddhist-based polity. When those resources are exploited in the context of particular Theravada¯ Buddhist practices and the history of Buddhism and Buddhist identity in Burma from ancient times through its colonial and contemporary periods, it perpetuates an ongoing tragedy that is less about religion than about ethno-nationalism. Keywords: nationalism; Buddhism; Theravada;¯ non-violence; asceticism; polytheism; Burma; Myanmar What accounts for a non-violent religion’s turn to nationalist violence? This question is prompted by persistent and shocking genocidal violence by Buddhist groups in Myanmar (Burma) against minority Muslim Rohingya over the past decade. In the West, the virulence with which religion and nationalism converge is associated primarily with the fervor of Abrahamic religions, which only heightens the incongruence of Buddhism’s teachings of and reputation for non-violence with grotesque uses of force in its name. I argue that Buddhist nationalist1 violence in Myanmar should be both more and less surprising than it is, and address two major elements of Buddhist philosophy at the root of this incongruity: non-violence and asceticism.
