The Saddharmapundarika and Its Influence
THE SADDHARMAPUNDARIKA AND ITS INFLUENCE By Senchu Murano The following paper is a summary of Hokekyo no Shiso to Bunka, edited by Yukio Sakamoto, Dean of the Faculty of Buddhism at Rissho University,Tokyo. (Kyoto,Heirakuji-shoten,1965; 711 pp., Index 31 pp.; Yen 4,000.) PA RT I : THE HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF THE SADDHARMAPUNDARIKA Chapter L The Formation of the Saddharmapunda?'lka A. The Saddharmapundarika and Indian Culture ( Ensho K anakura) H. Kern holds that the character of the Saddharmapundarika is similar to that of Narayana in the Bhagavadglta and that the Bhagavadglta had great influence on the Saddharmapun darika. Winternitz points out the influence of the Purdnas on the stitra, and Farquhar thinks that the Vedantas influenced the sutra. Kern shows us the materials for his opinion, but W inter nitz and Farquhar do not. On the other hand,Charles Eliot and H. von Glasenapp do speak of the influences of other religions on this sutra. They try to find the sources of the philosophy of the Saddharma pundarika in the current thought of India of the time. This is more convincing. It seems to be true to some extent that the Saddharmapun- — 315 — Senchu Murano dartka was influenced by the Bhagavadglta. It is also true, however, that the monotheistic idea given in the Bhagavadglta was already apparent in the Svetasvatara Upanisad, and that monotheism prevailed in India for some centuries around the beginning of the Christian Era. W e can say that the Saddhar- mapundarlka^ the Bhagavadglta, and other pieces of literature of a similar nature were produced from the common ground of the same age. -

FAQ Regarding UNHCR-Refugee Higher Education Programme (RHEP) (For Candidates with Sufficient Language Skills for Pursing a Degree in English)
2022 admission (2021 selection) version FAQ regarding UNHCR-Refugee Higher Education Programme (RHEP) (For candidates with sufficient language skills for pursing a degree in English) Refugees have high potential to grow as competent personnel for the hosting community, and education is essential in preparing young refugees to rebuild their lives and to enable them to contribute their skills and knowledge to their new environment. The UNHCR Refugee Higher Education Programme (RHEP) purports to provide the basis of self-reliance for those who reside in Japan and are unable to enjoy sufficient rights and benefits because of their backgrounds as refugees and language barriers. Here are some frequently asked questions that may provide more information relevant to you, as a refugee, or your institution, if your university is interested in participating in the Programme: Q1. What is the Refugee Higher Education Programme? The UNHCR-Refugee Higher Education Programme (RHEP) is implemented by UNHCR and Japan for UNHCR in partnership with twelve universities in Japan, to grant scholarships to those who are protected as refugees in Japan, to receive a higher education offered by the partner universities. From academic year 2019, Waseda University started offering a graduate degree education at master or doctor’s degree course, and from the 2022 academic year (admission in April 2022), Soka University, Meiji University, and Teikyo University will also start accepting applications for their master's programmes. The scholarship scheme for the graduate degree programme is slightly different from that for the undergraduate course. Currently, many refugees in Japan have no option but to forgo the idea of pursuing higher education, primarily for socio- economic reasons. -

Selected Papers N o . 26 June 2021 P resident's Message As mankind moves through the 21st century, integrated policies of ocean governance are increasingly necessary for the sustainable development and use of our oceans and their resources and for the protection of the marine environment. Towards this end, Ocean Policy Research Institute (OPRI) of the Sasakawa Peace Foundation orients its research on ocean issues in line with the mission statement "Liv- ing in Harmony with the Oceans." OPRI aims to conduct cross-sectoral research in ocean related issues in order to initi- ate debate on marine topics and to formulate both domestic and international policy proposals. We publish a Japanese-language newsletter titled the "Ocean Newsletter" (previously known as "Ship & Ocean Newsletter") twice a month. "Ocean Newsletter Selected Papers No.26" contains English-language versions of papers from the Japanese News- letter edition, published from No.471 (2020.3.20) to No.490 (2021.1.5). The Ocean Newsletter seeks to provide people of diverse viewpoints and backgrounds with a forum for discussion and to contribute to the formulation of maritime policies condu- cive to coexistence between mankind and the ocean. Our Institute believes that the Newsletter can expand effective communication on these issues by introducing timely research abroad to an informed readership. It also welcomes responses from readers, some of which appear in the Newsletter. It is our sincere hope that these Selected Papers will provide useful insights on policy debate in Japan -
