Mahayana Buddhism: the Doctrinal Foundations, Second Edition
9780203428474_4_001.qxd 16/6/08 11:55 AM Page 1 1 Introduction Buddhism: doctrinal diversity and (relative) moral unity There is a Tibetan saying that just as every valley has its own language so every teacher has his own doctrine. This is an exaggeration on both counts, but it does indicate the diversity to be found within Buddhism and the important role of a teacher in mediating a received tradition and adapting it to the needs, the personal transformation, of the pupil. This divers- ity prevents, or strongly hinders, generalization about Buddhism as a whole. Nevertheless it is a diversity which Mahayana Buddhists have rather gloried in, seen not as a scandal but as something to be proud of, indicating a richness and multifaceted ability to aid the spiritual quest of all sentient, and not just human, beings. It is important to emphasize this lack of unanimity at the outset. We are dealing with a religion with some 2,500 years of doctrinal development in an environment where scho- lastic precision and subtlety was at a premium. There are no Buddhist popes, no creeds, and, although there were councils in the early years, no attempts to impose uniformity of doctrine over the entire monastic, let alone lay, establishment. Buddhism spread widely across Central, South, South-East, and East Asia. It played an important role in aiding the cultural and spiritual development of nomads and tribesmen, but it also encountered peoples already very culturally and spiritually developed, most notably those of China, where it interacted with the indigenous civilization, modifying its doctrine and behaviour in the process.

Metaphor and Literalism in Buddhism
METAPHOR AND LITERALISM IN BUDDHISM The notion of nirvana originally used the image of extinguishing a ﬁre. Although the attainment of nirvana, ultimate liberation, is the focus of the Buddha’s teaching, its interpretation has been a constant problem to Buddhist exegetes, and has changed in different historical and doctrinal contexts. The concept is so central that changes in its understanding have necessarily involved much larger shifts in doctrine. This book studies the doctrinal development of the Pali nirvana and sub- sequent tradition and compares it with the Chinese Agama and its traditional interpretation. It clariﬁes early doctrinal developments of nirvana and traces the word and related terms back to their original metaphorical contexts. Thereby, it elucidates diverse interpretations and doctrinal and philosophical developments in the abhidharma exegeses and treatises of Southern and Northern Buddhist schools. Finally, the book examines which school, if any, kept the original meaning and reference of nirvana. Soonil Hwang is Assistant Professor in the Department of Indian Philosophy at Dongguk University, Seoul. His research interests are focused upon early Indian Buddhism, Buddhist Philosophy and Sectarian Buddhism. ROUTLEDGE CRITICAL STUDIES IN BUDDHISM General Editors: Charles S. Prebish and Damien Keown Routledge Critical Studies in Buddhism is a comprehensive study of the Buddhist tradition. The series explores this complex and extensive tradition from a variety of perspectives, using a range of different methodologies. The series is diverse in its focus, including historical studies, textual translations and commentaries, sociological investigations, bibliographic studies, and considera- tions of religious practice as an expression of Buddhism’s integral religiosity. It also presents materials on modern intellectual historical studies, including the role of Buddhist thought and scholarship in a contemporary, critical context and in the light of current social issues.

I believe that this is because the Buddha’s basic approach was to prescribe a different treatment for every spiritual ailment, much as a doctor prescribes a different medicine for every medical ailment. Thus his teachings were always appropriate for the par ticular suffering individual and for the time at which the teaching was given, and over the ages not one of his prescriptions has failed to relieve the suffering to which it was addressed. Ever since the Buddha’s Great Demise over twenty-five hundred years ago, his message of wisdom and compassion has spread through out the world.

Thought and Practice in Mahayana Buddhism in India (1St Century B.C. to 6Th Century A.D.)
International Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences. ISSN 2250-3226 Volume 7, Number 2 (2017), pp. 149-152 © Research India Publications http://www.ripublication.com Thought and Practice in Mahayana Buddhism in India (1st Century B.C. to 6th Century A.D.) Vaishali Bhagwatkar Barkatullah Vishwavidyalaya, Bhopal (M.P.) India Abstract Buddhism is a world religion, which arose in and around the ancient Kingdom of Magadha (now in Bihar, India), and is based on the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama who was deemed a "Buddha" ("Awakened One"). Buddhism spread outside of Magadha starting in the Buddha's lifetime. With the reign of the Buddhist Mauryan Emperor Ashoka, the Buddhist community split into two branches: the Mahasaṃghika and the Sthaviravada, each of which spread throughout India and split into numerous sub-sects. In modern times, two major branches of Buddhism exist: the Theravada in Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia, and the Mahayana throughout the Himalayas and East Asia. INTRODUCTION Buddhism remains the primary or a major religion in the Himalayan areas such as Sikkim, Ladakh, Arunachal Pradesh, the Darjeeling hills in West Bengal, and the Lahaul and Spiti areas of upper Himachal Pradesh. Remains have also been found in Andhra Pradesh, the origin of Mahayana Buddhism. Buddhism has been reemerging in India since the past century, due to its adoption by many Indian intellectuals, the migration of Buddhist Tibetan exiles, and the mass conversion of hundreds of thousands of Hindu Dalits. According to the 2001 census, Buddhists make up 0.8% of India's population, or 7.95 million individuals. Buddha was born in Lumbini, in Nepal, to a Kapilvastu King of the Shakya Kingdom named Suddhodana.

General Introduction1
GENERAL INTRODUCTION1 ROBERT KRITZER A. Sautrantika Reconsidered Although the term “Sautrantika” appears in virtually every general study of Indian Buddhism, there is little reliable information about who the Sautrantikas really were and exactly what positions they maintained. Until recently, scholars confidently referred to Sautrantika ideas without critically examining the basis on which these ideas were identified as such. As a result, there was a body of common “knowledge” about Sautrantika, most of it ultimately drawn from a handful of sources that are often not even cited. Since about 1980, however, Japan has been the center of a renewed interest in Sautrantika, and studies have questioned the assumptions that have been current for so long. The title of the panel of the Thirteenth Conference of the International Association of Buddhist Studies (Bangkok, 2002) at which the papers in this issue were originally read was “Sautran- tika Reconsidered,” and it is largely thanks to recent Japanese scholar- ship that it is now both necessary and possible to reconsider Sautrantika. The word “Sautrantika” means a follower of the sutras, and when we think of Sautrantika, we generally think of a group that came into exis- tence around the beginning of the Common Era and that, as its name sug- gests, considered sutra rather than sastra to be authoritative. Sautrantika is frequently included in a list of four major schools of Indian Buddhism familiar to all students of Buddhism (the other three being Sarvastivada, Madhyamika, and Yogacara). Here it should perhaps be emphasized that Sautrantika is not a sect. Although the terms “sect” and “school” are often used loosely or interchangeably, Bechert points out that what Frauwall- ner refers to as “Vinaya sects” are different from the doctrinal schools, or nikayas (9-10).

It explores two ways to generate a “flawless and perfect” Mūlasarvāstivāda bhikṣuṇī vow, either by Mūlasarvāsti- vāda monks alone or by Mūlasarvāstivāda monks with Dharmaguptaka nuns (“ecumenical” ordination). The first approach is based on a Vinaya passage which traditionally 1 Academy of World Religions and Numata Center for Buddhist Studies, University of Hamburg. Email: [email protected].

Family in Buddhism in His Chapter “Buddhism” in Women and Families, Ed
1 Introduction Family and the Construction of Religious Communities LIZ WILSON Today my birth is fruitful. Today my human life is justified. Today I am born into the family of the Buddha. Now I am the Buddha’s son. So that there may be no blemish upon this spotless family, I must now act as becomes my family. —Śāntideva, Bodhicaryāvatāra 3.25–61 he familial ties that bind us in kinship networks are some of the most Tpowerful social forces operating in our lives. Obligations to one’s kin can promote both virtue and vice, and they can both empower and disempower individuals in relation to one another. Family membership imposes obligations on social actors. Just as peer pressure motivates children in classrooms, the pressure of family expectations motivates individuals to act in particular ways. Family membership can be a huge motivational tool for the aspiring Bud- dhist, as suggested by the quote above (from Śāntideva’s compendium of the Mahāyāna Buddhist path). Family ties are thus capable of performing a great deal of social labor. Family ties can bind us to people whom we respect and whose moral examples provide support for our religious lives. Family ties can also come into conflict with our religious objectives and bind us to people who don’t share our values. For those who seek to find a congenial community with like values, nonkin communities such as those found in monasteries or other intentional communities offer alternative forms of belonging. Such alternative 1 © 2013 State University of New York Press, Albany Wilson_Family.indd 1 6/11/13 2:09 PM 2 LIZ WILSON nonkin communities, however, are often structured by fictive kinship ties.

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.
