  • Article N°70 De Sagesse Ancienne Kut-Humi
    Article n°70 de Sagesse Ancienne Kut-Humi David Goulois extrait du site : www.sagesseancienne.com (Tous droits réservés : voir conditions en page d’accueil) Parmi les nombreuses attaques dont HPB a fait l'objet, l'une d'elles consistait à affirmer qu'elle avait inventé l'existence des Maîtres de Sagesse. Or, ces derniers existent bel et bien. Antérieurement, nous avons déjà démontré que le concept de Maîtres existe depuis toujours dans les traditions spirituelles. Non seulement ce concept ne s'oppose pas à ces traditions spirituelles, mais les Maîtres ont entièrement fondé ces dernières. Ainsi, lorsque les esprits matérialistes nient l'existence des Maîtres de Sagesse, des Mahatmas, des Bodhisattvas, des Xian Ren, des Dieux mythiques, des Saints, des Yogis réalisés spirituellement (ou tout autre nom que les religions et philosophies ont bien voulu leur donner), cela prouve au moins trois choses : ces esprits sceptiques ne comprennent pas l'essence des traditions spirituelles, ils ignorent la réalité ésotérique de la vie, et ils démontrent qu'ils ne sont pas en contact avec les Maîtres de Sagesse. La Sagesse Ancienne, la Doctrine Secrète, la Philosophie Eternelle, la Tradition Primordiale, tous ces vocables et bien d'autres encore évoquent l'idée d'une sagesse universelle, commune à tous les peuples et à toutes les époques. Les Maîtres sont à l'origine de la Sagesse Ancienne et en ont toujours assuré la cohésion et la pérennité. Aucun véritable ésotérisme n'est envisageable dès lors qu'on nie l'existence de ces Hommes et de ces Femmes parfaits, car la philosophie ésotérique et l'ascèse qui en découle n'ont fondamentalement qu'un seul but : la réalisation du Soi, avec pour conséquence l'accès à l'immortalité.

  • Pre-Proto-Iranians of Afghanistan As Initiators of Sakta Tantrism: on the Scythian/Saka Affiliation of the Dasas, Nuristanis and Magadhans
    Iranica Antiqua, vol. XXXVII, 2002 PRE-PROTO-IRANIANS OF AFGHANISTAN AS INITIATORS OF SAKTA TANTRISM: ON THE SCYTHIAN/SAKA AFFILIATION OF THE DASAS, NURISTANIS AND MAGADHANS BY Asko PARPOLA (Helsinki) 1. Introduction 1.1 Preliminary notice Professor C. C. Lamberg-Karlovsky is a scholar striving at integrated understanding of wide-ranging historical processes, extending from Mesopotamia and Elam to Central Asia and the Indus Valley (cf. Lamberg- Karlovsky 1985; 1996) and even further, to the Altai. The present study has similar ambitions and deals with much the same area, although the approach is from the opposite direction, north to south. I am grateful to Dan Potts for the opportunity to present the paper in Karl's Festschrift. It extends and complements another recent essay of mine, ‘From the dialects of Old Indo-Aryan to Proto-Indo-Aryan and Proto-Iranian', to appear in a volume in the memory of Sir Harold Bailey (Parpola in press a). To com- pensate for that wider framework which otherwise would be missing here, the main conclusions are summarized (with some further elaboration) below in section 1.2. Some fundamental ideas elaborated here were presented for the first time in 1988 in a paper entitled ‘The coming of the Aryans to Iran and India and the cultural and ethnic identity of the Dasas’ (Parpola 1988). Briefly stated, I suggested that the fortresses of the inimical Dasas raided by ¤gvedic Aryans in the Indo-Iranian borderlands have an archaeological counterpart in the Bronze Age ‘temple-fort’ of Dashly-3 in northern Afghanistan, and that those fortresses were the venue of the autumnal festival of the protoform of Durga, the feline-escorted Hindu goddess of war and victory, who appears to be of ancient Near Eastern origin.

  • Buddhist Growth in China
    Piya Tan SD 40b.1 How Buddhism Became Chinese How Buddhism Became Chinese 1 A reflection on the (Ahita) Thera Sutta (A 5.88) by Piya Tan ©2008 (2nd rev), 2009 (3rd rev) Even famous teachers can have wrong views and mislead others. (A 5.88) The (Ahitāya) Thera Sutta (A 5.88) is a vital warning that grounding in right view is imperative especially when we are presenting or representing the Buddha Dharma. The more people respect us, or listen to us, or turn to us for spiritual help, and the more we have the means of mass-propagating our Buddhist views, the more carefully we have to ascertain rightness and moral consequences of our efforts. The point is that status, learning, seniority, fame, wealth, and resources, advantageous as they may be in Buddhist work, are not sufficient standards for truth. While it is true that whatever we express are merely our own opinions, we must have the moral re- sponsibility at least to ensure that such opinions or facts reflect the true Dharma. Much as we have the freedom to publicize the teachings of a particular teacher or group, we must accept the fact that this may not be the only view of the true Dharma. The final test of what we propagate must be Dharma-based. The true teachings always stand above the teacher.1 After the Buddha‘s time, especially as Buddhism grows beyond India, such standards are not always possible, for various reasons. At first, Buddhism appears to change the culture, but in due course it is the culture that changes Buddhism, often turning it into a system vastly different, even contrary to the Dhar- ma of the Buddha.

GILL Advisor: Dr. Rachelle Scott Asian Studies, University of Tennessee, Knoxville The religion of Shugendō has no shrines and it has no temples. It only has the liminality of the mountains; a space that is viewed in Japan as being ground that only gods, demons, and ghosts may set foot on. But the Yamabushi are not human, gods, or even demons. Instead they are believed to be living Buddhas, rare people that, through practice in the secluded mountains, have become privy to sacred knowledge that has awakened them to their internal Buddha nature, to borrow the words of Kukai, “in this very lifetime”.

  • Iconographical Issues in the Archeology of Wat Phra Men, Nakhon Pathom
    75 Iconographical Issues in the Archeology of Wat Phra Men, Nakhon Pathom Nicolas Revire Wat Phra Men, an important temple site at Nakhon Pathom in the central plains of Thailand from around the 7th to 8th centuries CE, is re-examined for the diverse conclusions that can be drawn from iconographical study of its Buddha images. Four or five colossal images, seated in the so-called “European fashion”, are reputed to have originated here although they are today displayed in different temples and museums. The history of the discoveries and restorations at the site is reviewed. While the precise nature and original appearance of the monument remain a mystery, the iconographical significance of the images lies in different possible interpretations according to the Buddhist traditions that were practiced here. The nature of Buddhism in the Dvāravatī period was evidently very heterogeneous; esoteric forms of Mahāyāna Buddhism may have evolved at Wat Phra Men in Theravāda guise. The results of this re-examination should hold implications for other Buddhist sites in Nakhon Pathom and neighboring provinces. The importance of Nakhon Pathom in the early history of Thailand is well recognized because of the large number of archeological remains found there: ruins of stūpa or caitya foundations, stone and bronze sculptures, and clay and stucco artifacts, among other items (figure 1). How much is really known about the iconography of its art? While new archeological discoveries have been made1 and excavations are being carried out in central Thailand, art historians still need to rely on earlier studies and museum collections, not only for reference material but also in reconsidering some of what has been found and has fallen, for the most part, into oblivion.

  • The Staff As a Symbol of Spiritual Guidance for Individuation
    상징과모래놀이치료, 제9권 제2호 Journal of Symbols & Sandplay Therapy 2018, 12, Vol. 9, No. 2, 49-68. The Staff as a Symbol of Spiritual Guidance for Individuation So, Byung Hea* <Abstract> The purpose of this study was to analyze the symbolic meaning of the staff from an analytical psychological perspective. The symbol of the staff may be seen as the world tree, as an axis connecting God and man. This is the driving force of individuation, which integrates human unconsciousness and consciousness while discovering and accepting the genuine Self. Humans realize Self through consciousness of the inner personality by constantly establishing a relationship with the inner world of unconsciousness. They desire to constantly communicate with God, and they want to live a symbolic life through transformation. As a spiritual guide, the staff is an archetype of the therapist. It also contains the meaning of the world tree praying for unity with God in the process of human personification. This study analyzed the staff that has transformed from alchemy to spirit, the staff that symbolizes the call of God in religious terms, the staff of the resurrected symbol that was reborn as the world tree, and the individuality realized through the symbolism of the staff. The symbolic meaning of the staff as a spiritual guide is an indicator of individuation that is constantly reborn by transformation and reproduction. Keywords : staff, symbolism, axis mundi, ego-self axis, individuation * Corresponding Author: Ph.D. student, Department of Child Welfare, Namseoul University & head counselor, Solparan Institute for Children ([email protected]) - 49 - Journal of Symbols & Sandplay Therapy, Vol.9 No.2.

Lopez, Jr., Chair Assistant Professor Micah Auerback Assistant Professor Benjamin Brose Professor Tomoko Masuzawa Associate Professor Elliot Sperling, Indiana University Associate Professor Gray Tuttle, Columbia University © Martino Dibeltulo ————————————2015 All rights reserved ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This dissertation owes its completion to the labors of many people and to the contribution of many institutions. First of all, I would like to thank the members of my committee, who have inspired me and supported me in many ways during my graduate career. My advisor, Professor Donald Lopez, has always offered the best advice, providing me with the intellectual space that has seen this project grow into the present form. The clear, insightful, and timely comments he has made on each of my many drafts have illuminated my writing, inspiring my commitment to scholarship in Buddhist Studies. Both in the research and writing stages, Professor Micah Auerback has generously offered his insight into the study of Buddhism in modern and contemporary Japan, unselfishly helping me to read and translate texts from the Japanese language. Since my early graduate years, Professor Benjamin Brose has been a mentor and a friend, providing me with essential advice on the study of Buddhism in China. I would also like to express my deepest gratitude to Professor Tomoko Masuzawa, who has welcomed me in several of her graduate seminars, where this dissertation was conceived as a genealogy.
