  • Mindfulness in Early Buddhism: New Approaches Through Psychology and Textual Analysis of Pali, Chinese and Sanskrit Sources
    MINDFULNESS IN EARLY BUDDHISM This book identifies what is meant by sati (smUti), usually translated as “mind- fulness,” in early Buddhism, and examines its soteriological functions and its central role in the early Buddhist practice and philosophy. Using textual analysis and criticism, it takes new approaches to the subject through a com- parative study of Buddhist texts in Pali, Chinese and Sanskrit. It also fur- nishes new perspectives on the ancient teaching by applying the findings in modern psychology. In contemporary Buddhism, the practice of mindfulness is zealously advocated by the Theravada tradition, which is the only early Buddhist school that still exists today. Through detailed analysis of Theravada’s Pali Canon and the four Chinese Fgamas—which correspond to the four main NikAyas in Pali and belong to some early schools that no longer exist—this book shows that mindfulness is not only limited to the role as a method of insight (vipassanA) meditation, as presented by many Theravada advocates, but it also has a key role in serenity (samatha) medi- tation. It elucidates how mindfulness functions in the path to liberation from a psychological perspective, that is, how it helps to achieve an optimal cog- nitive capability and emotional state, and thereby enables one to attain the ultimate religious goal. Furthermore, the author argues that the well-known formula of ekAyano maggo, which is often interpreted as “the only way,” implies that the four satipaWWhAnas (establishments of mindfulness) constitute a com- prehensive path to liberation, and refer to the same as kAyagatA sati, which has long been understood as “mindfulness of the body” by the tradition.

  • Transcendent Spirituality in Tibetan Tantric Buddhism Bruce M
    RETN1313289 Techset Composition India (P) Ltd., Bangalore and Chennai, India 4/3/2017 ETHNOS, 2017 http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00141844.2017.1313289 5 Self-possessed and Self-governed: Transcendent Spirituality in Tibetan Tantric Buddhism Bruce M. Knauft 10 Emory University, USA ABSTRACT Among Tibetan Buddhist tantric practitioners, including in the U.S., visualisation and incorporation of mandala deities imparts a parallel world against which conventional 15 reality is considered impermanent and afflicted. Tantric adepts aspire through meditation, visualisation, and mind-training to dissolve normal selfhood and simultaneously embrace both ‘conventional’ and ‘ultimate’ reality. Ethics of compassion encourage efficient reengagement with conventional world dynamics rather than escaping them: the transcendental ‘non-self’ is perceived to inform efficient and compassionate waking consciousness. Transformation of subjective 20 ontology in tantric self-possession resonates with Foucault’s late exploration of ethical self-relationship in alternative technologies of subjectivation and with Luhrmann’s notion of transcendent spiritual absorption through skilled learning and internalisation. Incorporating recent developments in American Tibetan Buddhism, this paper draws upon information derived from a range of scholarly visits to rural and urban areas of the Himalayas, teachings by and practices with contemporary 25 Tibetan lamas, including in the U.S., and historical and philosophical Buddhist literature and commentaries. CE: PV QA: Coll: KEYWORDS Tibetan Buddhism; tantra; spirituality; selfhood; ontology; spirit possession 30 This paper considers dynamics of transcendent spirituality in a cultural context that has often remained outside received considerations of spirit possession: Tibetan Buddhist tantras. I am concerned especially the Sarma or ‘new translation’ generation and com- pletion stage practices associated with highest yoga tantra in Tibetan Buddhist Gelug and Kagyü sects.

  • Kindness and Compassion Practice in Buddhist and Secular Contexts
    Confluence: Adoption and Adaptation of Loving- Kindness and Compassion Practice in Buddhist and Secular Contexts Dawn P. Neal Graduate Student Graduate Theological Union 法鼓佛學學報第 16 期 頁 95-121（民國 104 年），新北市：法鼓文理學院 Dharma Drum Journal of Buddhist Studies, no. 16, pp. 95-121 (2015) New Taipei City: Dharma Drum Institute of Liberal Arts ISSN: 1996-8000 Abstract Contemporary Buddhists are adapting loving-kindness and compassion praxis. Using three vignettes, the author explores how the distinct practices of loving-kindness and compassion are being appropriated and altered both in Buddhist religious traditions, and in secular environments. This discussion examines the adaptation process from two perspectives. First, this article explores how three teachers, North American, Taiwanese, and Tibetan-North American respectively, adapt loving-kindness and compassion practices, and what purposes these adaptations serve in their contexts. Second, the author highlights some textual sources the teachers use when adapting or secularizing loving-kindness and compassion practices. Primary focus is on the Mettā Sutta and the Visuddhimagga, perhaps the most influential Theravāda compendium in contemporary Buddhism. The phrases and categories of loving-kindness praxis in the Visuddhimagga now appear nearly verbatim in teachings of secular compassion practice. This cross-fertilization occurs directly between Buddhist traditions as well. In the American example of Sojun Mel Weitsman, a foundational influence on modern Sōtō Zen Buddhism as developed at the Berkeley and San Francisco Zen centers, Weitsman presents his adaptation of the Mettā Sutta in response to his community’s request for greater address given to love and compassion. In Taiwan, Ven. Bhikṣuṇī Zinai of the eclectically influenced Luminary International Buddhist Society incorporates adaptation of both the Visuddhimagga and Mettā Sutta in a secular Compassionate Prenatal Education program, which addresses the needs of expectant mothers using loving-kindness practice.

  • Popularizing Buddhism
    Buddhism Popularizing Buddhism Popularizing Buddhism Summary: In the 1990s, a new form of popular Americanized Buddhism emerged with the publicity of celebrity followers like Richard Gere and Tina Turner. At the same time, new generations of Asian American Buddhists continued to grow and shape their traditions. The 1990s saw the emergence of a “Hollywood Buddhism” or a Buddhism of celebrities which has continued to the present. The National Enquirer suggested that the Dalai Lama told Richard Gere to dump Cindy Crawford. A film about Tina Turner, "What’s Love Got to Do with It," opens with the mantra chanting of the Soka Gakkai Buddhist movement. The Tibetan Namgyal monks went on a summer music tour, called Lollapalooza, with the Beastie Boys, whose song, “Bodhisattva Vow,” became a part of hip-hop culture. Bernardo Bertolucci’s film, The Little Buddha, follows a young Seattle boy who is seen as the reincarnation of a Tibetan lama. It is clear that a celebrity embrace of Buddhism has played a role in the public perception of Buddhism. As writers such as bell hooks and Sallie Tisdale, politicians such as Jerry Brown, movie stars such as Richard Gere and Uma Thurman, and singers such as Jerry Garcia and John Mellencamp talked about their identity as Buddhists or their sympathies with Buddhism, the mass media began presenting a “pop” form of Buddhism to a wider American audience. Building on this interest and on a growing interest in Buddhist meditation practice, a national Buddhist magazine, Tricycle: The Buddhist Review, was successfully launched in 1991 by the Tricycle Foundation.

  • External Mindfulness, Secure (Non)-Attachment, and Healing Relational Trauma: Emerging Models of Wellness for Modern Buddhists and Buddhist Modernism
    Journal of Global Buddhism Vol. 17 (2016): 1-21 Research Article External Mindfulness, Secure (Non)-Attachment, and Healing Relational Trauma: Emerging Models of Wellness for Modern Buddhists and Buddhist Modernism Ann Gleig, University of Central Florida Much scholarly attention has been devoted to examining the incorporation of Buddhist-derived meditations such as Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) into psychotherapeutic and medical settings. This paper approaches the cross-fertilization of Buddhist and therapeutic notions of wellness from the opposite direction by exploring Dharma Punx teacher Josh Korda’s interweaving of psychoanalytic developmental theory and affective neuroscience into his Buddhist teachings. Korda provides a useful case study of some of the main patterns emerging from psychotherapeutically informed American Buddhist convert lineages. One of these, I argue, is a “relational turn,” a more context-sensitive approach to individual meditation practice and an increasing interest in developing interpersonal and communal dimensions of Buddhist practice. In conclusion, I consider what Korda’s approach and this relational turn suggests in terms of the unfolding of Buddhist modernism in the West.

All Rights Reserved Epictetus on Human Suffering Edward James Humphreys Page 3 of 223 Epictetus on Human Suffering Edward James Humphreys Page 4 of 223 Abstract This thesis considers Epictetus’ response to human suffering with regard to its broader meaning. This encompasses not only what Buddhism refers to as ordinary suffering, but also what they call suffering caused by change and by the conditioned mind, all of which manifest at different levels of consciousness, in different forms and from the very gross to the very subtle. In considering Epictetus’ response we shall consider suffering as a universally occurring and unending dissatisfaction with life - a ‘dis-ease’ that exists as part of our human condition and formative learning experience of life. This thesis takes a fresh look at Epictetus by reframing his thinking and response to suffering. First, the Buddhist model known as the Four Noble Truths (cattāri ariyasaccāni) is used as a systematic basis for discussing Epictetus.

  • Anapanasati Sutta Student Notes April 2011
    Anapanasati Sutta – Student Notes – 1 Anapanasati Sutta Student Notes: Session One 1. “Anapana” means “in-breath and out-breath” “Sati” means “mindfulness” or present moment awareness that simply notices what is happening without in any way interfering, without adding or subtracting anything to or from the experience. It’s bare awareness. So, anapanasati means “mindfulness while breathing in and out”. 2. Background to the sutta: It’s the end of the rainy-season retreat, and the Buddha is so pleased with the meditation practice of those gathered with him, that he announces he is going to stay on another month, the month of the white water-lily or white lotus moon. At the end of that month he gives this teaching on anapanasati, giving the teaching under the full moon at night. The Buddha says: “Mindfulness of in-and-out breathing, when developed and pursued, is of great benefit. Mindfulness of in-and-out breathing, when developed and pursued, brings the four foundations of mindfulness to perfection. The four foundations of mindfulness, when developed and pursued, bring the seven factors of awakening to their culmination. The seven factors of awakening, when developed and pursued, perfect clear insight and liberation.” In other words, anapanasati can lead to enlightenment. Four foundations of mindfulness (satipatthana) are: • Kaya (Body) • Vedana (Feelings or experiencing sensations as pleasant, unpleasant or neutral) • Citta (Mind or mental formations, thoughts and emotions) • Dhammas (mental objects, or perspectives on experience used to investigate reality) These four categories correspond to the four sets of contemplations in the anapanasati method. Seven factors of awakening are a spiral path of conditionality, leading towards enlightenment: 1.

And to Lauren, for traveling the way with me. iv ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Headless and Homeless: Zen Non-Thinking Awareness in American Countercultural Trip Narratives Post-WWI to the Vietnam War by Matthew James Bond Doctor of Philosophy, Graduate Program in English University of California, Riverside, June 2014 Dr. Robert Latham, Chairperson This project surveys the appearance of a phenomenon that I will call “non-thinking awareness,” something not exclusive to but usually identified with the practice of Zen Buddhism. I argue that the importation of Eastern religious and philosophical ideas introduced into American literature a mode of perception radically divergent from the dualistic Cartesian cogito upon which modern Western thought primarily owes its origins. Instead of identifying with one’s thoughts, a person who practices non-thinking awareness sees his or her existence as a holistic embodiment rather than as an identity split between mind and body. The four chapters of this project read texts that evince trip narratives, stories that depict some sort of pilgrimage or journey toward a higher consciousness.
