DIVERSITY IN THE WOMEN OF THE THERĪGĀTHĀ i Diversity in the Women of the Therīgāthā Kyung Peggy Kim Meill Lesley University May 2020 Dr. Melissa Jean and Dr. Andrew Olendzki DIVERSITY IN THE WOMEN OF THE THERĪGĀTHĀ ii Abstract A literary work provides a window into the world of a writer, revealing her most intimate and forthright perspectives, beliefs, and emotions – this within a scope of a certain time and place that shapes the milieu of her life. The Therīgāthā, an anthology of 73 poems found in the Pali canon, is an example of such an asseveration, composed by theris (women elders of wisdom or senior disciples), some of the first Buddhist nuns who lived in the time of the Buddha 2500 years ago. The gathas (songs or poems) impart significant details concerning early Buddhism and some of its integral elements of mental and spiritual development.

    Engaged Buddhism: Buddhist Liberation Movements in Asia

    EEnnggaaggeedd BBuuddddhhiissmm 1 Buddhism ― a Balancing Factor for Current World Developments Buddhism ― a Balancing Factor for Current World Developments By Venerable Dhammavamso1 oday, the world may seem at its zenith of development. In spite of their Tdifferent forms in different countries and regions, current world developments have a common point: the West (since the Renaissance) and the East (since the past century) have developed along materialistic lines. As a result, various things have been replaced with others in both the environmental and human fields. For the past decades some Buddhist scholars, in the face of so many social changes, have attempted to reassess the role of Buddhism in the new situation of the world. Hence, a question is raised as to whether traditional Buddhism, which has shaped the civilization of many peoples in the East for centuries, may remain adaptive and fluid in the modern era. Generally speaking, there are two discernible different tendencies among those scholars. Some scholars such as Thich Nhat Hanh, Walpola Rahula, Sulak Sivaraksa, H.H. the Dalai Lama, Robert Thurman, and so on, maintain that there remains a continuity between Buddhism today and Buddhism of the past. Although the world is changing rapidly with its various developments, humanity’s fundamental sufferings and the best ways of dealing with them remain the same as what are already explicitly formulated in most Buddhist teachings. Therefore, Buddhism today, whatever new forms it may take on, is essentially contiguous with its tradition. In the words of Sivaraksa: “To be of help we must become more selfless and less selfish.

    Concise Pāli-English Dictionary

    CONCISE PĀLI-ENGLISH DICTIONARY BY AGGAMAHĀPAṆḌITA A. P. BUDDHADATTA MAHĀTHERA The author of “The New Pāli Course”, "English-Pāli Dictionary”, etc. and the editor of “The Buddhadatta’s Manuals”, “Sammohavinodanī”, etc. AGGĀRĀMA, AMBALANGODA FOREWORD A concise Pali-English Dictionary for use by students in schools and colleges has been a long-felt need. The only available Pali-English lexicon—the work of Childers being long out of print—is the famous publication of the Pali Text Society, but this too is fast becoming rare and difficult to procure. In any case the cost is too heavy for the average student. Hence it is gratifying to note that at long last a reputed scholar has come forward to satisfy this need and after several years of hard work has compiled what may prove to be the standard practical dictionary of the Pali language. The author is not only an eminent Elder of the Buddhist Order but one of the leading Pali scholars recognized both in the East and in the West as an authority on the subject. His experiences as a teacher at Ananda College, Colombo, and the considerable experience he has gained as a writer of text-books for school use, such as the now famous New Pali Course, make him admirably suited for the undertaking. There are but a few Buddhist Elders in direct contact with western scholarship through the English medium and the Rev. Buddhadatta is the most senior among that class of monks. It is to be observed that the author has kept more or less to the traditional sense of words while not altogether ignoring the meanings given by western scholars in their translations and lexicons.

We had first published Dr. Ambedkar's "The Buddha and His Dhamma" in 1957 almost within a year of his Nirvana. As this new and consistent commentary of the Dhamma by Dr. Ambedkar became almost the Bible of the Indian Buddhists, we later published a Hindi as well as Marathi version of The Dhamma. These publications served a very useful purpose to Indian Buddhist who treat this book as the New Testament for studying The Dhamma singly or in groups in their localities and for devoting some of their time every day to reflect on it.

    Anguttara Nikaya Raccolta Dei Discorsi [Il Cui Numero È] in Progressione

    Anguttara Nikaya Raccolta dei discorsi [il cui numero è] in progressione ANGUTTARA NIKAYA Raccolta dei discorsi [il cui numero è] in progressione (sutta scelti) L’Anguttara Nikaya conta almeno 2308 discorsi raggruppati in 11 sezioni [nipata], chiamate rispettivamente “libro degli uno (ekanipata)”, “libro dei due (dukanipata)” fino al “libro degli un- dici (ekadasanipata)”. A prima vista, questo modello di classificazione può sembrare abbastanza pedante, ma si dimostra in effetti spesso molto utile. I nipata sono divisi in vagga, ciascuno dei quali contiene di rego- la dieci sutta. Ogni sezione contiene sutta che trattano argomenti connessi in qualche modo con il numero della sezione corrispon- dente. E’ stato sostenuto che questo testo sia stato composto probabil- mente durante il regno di Menandro, nel II sec. a.C. E’ degno di nota che importanti argomenti dell’insegnamento sono poco menzionati, come ad esempio le Quattro Nobili Verità e la coproduzione condizionata [paticcasamuppada]. 1 Anguttara Nikaya Raccolta dei discorsi [il cui numero è] in progressione 2 Anguttara Nikaya Raccolta dei discorsi [il cui numero è] in progressione Traduzione in Inglese dalla versione Pali di Thanissaro Bhikkhu.
