The Gurudharmas in Buddhist Nunneries of Mainland China
BSRV 31.2 (2014) 241–272 Buddhist Studies Review ISSN (print) 0256-2897 doi: 10.1558/bsrv.v31i2.241 Buddhist Studies Review ISSN (online) 1747-9681 The Gurudharmas in Buddhist Nunneries of Mainland China TZU-LUNG CHIU AND ANN HEIRMAN DEPARTMENT OF CHINESE LANGUAGE AND CULTURE, FACULTY OF ARTS AND PHILOSOPHY, GHENT UNIVERSITY [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT According to tradition, when the Buddha’s aunt and stepmother Mahāprajāpatī was allowed to join the Buddhist monastic com- munity, she accepted eight ‘fundamental rules’ (gurudharmas) that made the nuns’ order dependent upon the monks’ order. This story has given rise to much debate, in the past as well as in the present, and this is no less the case in Mainland China, where nunneries have started to re-emerge in recent decades. This article first presents new insight into Mainland Chinese monastic practitioners’ common perspectives and voices regarding the gurudharmas, which are rarely touched upon in scholarly work. Next, each of the rules is discussed in detail, allowing us to analyse various issues, until now under- studied, regarding the applicability of the gurudharmas in Mainland Chinese contexts. This research thus provides a detailed overview of nuns’ perceptions of how traditional vinaya rules and procedures can be applied in contemporary Mainland Chinese monastic com- munities based on a cross-regional empirical study. Keywords Mainland Chinese nuns, gurudharma, vinaya, gender Introduction The accounts on the founding of the Buddhist order of nuns (bhikṣuṇīsaṅgha) explain in detail how, around two and a half millennia ago, the bhikṣuṇīsaṅgha was established when the Buddha allowed women to join the Buddhist monastic community. -

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract The Gandavyuha-sutra: a Study of Wealth, Gender and Power in an Indian Buddhist Narrative In this thesis, I examine the roles of wealth, gender and power in the Mahay ana Buddhist scripture known as the Gandavyuha-sutra, using contemporary textual theory, narratology and worldview analysis. I argue that the wealth, gender and power of the spiritual guides (kalyanamitras , literally ‘good friends’) in this narrative reflect the social and political hierarchies and patterns of Buddhist patronage in ancient Indian during the time of its compilation. In order to do this, I divide the study into three parts. In part I, ‘Text and Context’, I first investigate what is currently known about the origins and development of the Gandavyuha, its extant manuscripts, translations and modern scholarship. -

The Ten Great Vows of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva
The Ten Great Vows of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva (from the Bhadracarīpraṇidhāna) 1. I vow to pay homage to all the buddhas (禮敬諸佛) 2. I vow to praise the tathāgatas (稱讚如來) 3. I vow to make unlimited offerings (廣修供養) 4. I vow to repent and reform all karmic hindrances (懺悔業障) 5. I vow to rejoice in others’ merit and virtue (隨喜功德) 6. I vow to request that the buddhas turn the Dharma Wheel (請轉法輪) 7. I vow to request that the buddhas continue living in the world (請佛住世) 8. I vow to follow always the Buddha's teaching (常隨佛學) 9. I vow to comply always with the needs of all sentient beings (恆順眾生) 10. I vow to transfer all merit and virtue universally (普皆迴向) 3. I vow to make unlimited offerings (廣修供養) “Moreover, Good Man, to extensively cultivate making offerings is explained like this: In every mote of dust in all the Buddhalands throughout the ten directions and the three periods of time, exhausting the Dharma Realm and the realm of empty space, there are Buddhas as many as the fine motes of dust in all worlds. Each Buddha is circumambulated by various kinds of sea-like assemblies of Bodhisattvas. With the power of Universal Worthy’s practice and vows, I am able to deeply believe in and understand them. I can know and see them all. To each I make offerings of superb and wonderful gifts. That is to say, clouds of flowers, clouds of garlands, clouds of heavenly music, clouds of divine canopies, clouds of heavenly clothing, all varieties of heavenly incense, fragrant balms, burning incense, powdered incense, and clouds of gifts such as these; each cloud is as large as Sumeru, the king of mountains. -

The Most Outstanding Bhiksunī Contribution to Education in Contemporary China
The Most Outstanding Bhiksunī Contribution to Education in Contemporary China Rujing Mao, PhD Candidate Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University Introduction: Master Nun Longlian (隆莲法师) (1909-2006) is the first outstanding bhiksunī in contemporary China. She was vice president of the Buddhist Association of China, and abbess of two nunneries in the southwestern province of Sichuan (四川): Aidao tang (爱 道堂) and Tiesiang ci (铁象寺).1 Master Longlian’s high academic achievements were known far and near. She served as researcher of the Buddhist Art Institute of China, and she also served in many other academic positions. She is the author of numerous books and essays. Aside from her profound knowledge of Buddhism, she speaks English and Tibetan, which is rare knowledge in China. She was one of the compilers of A Great Tibetan-Chinese Dictionary. Master Longlian was not only an exalted Buddhist scholar, but also worked hard to re-establish dual ordination in China, which was absent from the Chinese Buddhist tradition for centuries. Her devotion to Dharma teaching is great. She declares, “I am destined to live with blackboards and chalk, as a teacher, my entire life.” When the status of Buddhist nuns was low in China, she realized that in order to improve the status within society, education was essential for nuns. She helped establish the Sichuan Buddhist Nuns’ College (SBNC) in 1983, which was the first contemporary college for Buddhist Nuns to be accepted by the Chinese government. It was first housed in a temple named Tiexiangsi (Iron Statue Temple) in the southern outskirts of Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province. -
