  • 1 Post-Canonical Buddhist Political Thought
    Post-Canonical Buddhist Political Thought: Explaining the Republican Transformation (D02) (conference draft; please do not quote without permission) Matthew J. Moore Associate Professor Dept. of Political Science Cal Poly State University 1 Grand Avenue San Luis Obispo, CA 93407 805-756-2895 [email protected] 1 Introduction In other recent work I have looked at whether normative political theorizing can be found in the texts of Early or Canonical Buddhism, especially the Nikāya collections and the Vinaya texts governing monastic life, since those texts are viewed as authentic and authoritative by all modern sects of Buddhism.1 In this paper I turn to investigate Buddhist normative political theorizing after the early or Canonical period, which (following Collins2 and Bechert3) I treat as beginning during the life of the Buddha (c. sixth-fifth centuries BCE) and ending in the first century BCE, when the Canonical texts were first written down. At first glance this task is impossibly large, as even by the end of the early period Buddhism had already divided into several sects and had begun to develop substantial regional differences. Over the next 2,000 years Buddhism divided into three main sects: Theravada, Mahāyāna, and Vajrayāna. It also developed into numerous local variants as it mixed with various national cultures and evolved under different historical circumstances. To give just one example, the Sri Lankan national epic, the Mahāvaṃsa, is central to Sinhalese Buddhists’ understanding of what Buddhism says about politics and very influential on other Southeast Asian versions of Buddhism, but has no obvious relevance to Buddhists in Tibet or Japan, who in turn have their own texts and traditions.

  • 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.

  • Chronology of the Pali Canon Bimala Churn Law, Ph.D., M.A., B.L
    Chronology of the Pali Canon Bimala Churn Law, Ph.D., M.A., B.L. Annals of the Bhandarkar Oriental Researchnstitute, Poona, pp.171-201 Rhys Davids in his Buddhist India (p. 188) has given a chronological table of Buddhist literature from the time of the Buddha to the time of Asoka which is as follows:-- 1. The simple statements of Buddhist doctrine now found, in identical words, in paragraphs or verses recurring in all the books. 2. Episodes found, in identical words, in two or more of the existing books. 3. The Silas, the Parayana, the Octades, the Patimokkha. 4. The Digha, Majjhima, Anguttara, and Samyutta Nikayas. 5. The Sutta-Nipata, the Thera-and Theri-Gathas, the Udanas, and the Khuddaka Patha. 6. The Sutta Vibhanga, and Khandhkas. 7. The Jatakas and the Dhammapadas. 8. The Niddesa, the Itivuttakas and the Patisambbhida. 9. The Peta and Vimana-Vatthus, the Apadana, the Cariya-Pitaka, and the Buddha-Vamsa. 10. The Abhidhamma books; the last of which is the Katha-Vatthu, and the earliest probably the Puggala-Pannatti. This chronological table of early Buddhist; literature is too catechetical, too cut and dried, and too general to be accepted in spite of its suggestiveness as a sure guide to determination of the chronology of the Pali canonical texts. The Octades and the Patimokkha are mentioned by Rhys Davids as literary compilations representing the third stage in the order of chronology. The Pali title corresponding to his Octades is Atthakavagga, the Book of Eights. The Book of Eights, as we have it in the Mahaniddesa or in the fourth book of the Suttanipata, is composed of sixteen poetical discourses, only four of which, namely, (1.) Guhatthaka, (2) Dutthatthaka.

Among the bhiksus, the fully ordained male monastics, over two hundred and fifty became “arhats,” practitioners who attained enlightenment and achieved liberation. Among the arhats, there are two groups that have become par- ticularly well known: the “ten great disciples” and the “eighteen arhats.” While the identities of the ten great disciples are set in stone, the composition of the “eighteen arhats” varies according to the preferences of indi- vidual Buddhists. Today, at the Buddha Memorial Center in Taiwan, there stands a set of statues that comprise a brand new set of “eighteen arhats.” This set consists of the Buddha’s ten great disciples, five other well-known arhats (including the classical dragon subduing arhat and tiger taming arhat), and three enlightened bhiksunis, fully ordained female monastics.

  • The Tradition of Sangiti and Pali Literature Introduction Meaning of Sangiti
    Session: The Traditionl of Pāḷi Studies 1 The Tradition Of Sangiti And Pali Literature Prof. Bhikshu Satyapala, Ph.D. Department of Buddhist Studies University of Delhi Delhi 110 007, India Introduction Pali literature named after its language, Pali, refers to the Literature of Theravada Buddhist canonical and non-canonical literatures. The form of the Pali literature, which we have at present, has come down to us through the tradition of Sangities. History of Buddhism has records of more than a dozen Sangiti which has, so far, been convened in order to recite and preserve the original form of the Buddha’s teaching. Of these twelve, only two Sangities (the Councils held in Kashmir and Lhasa) were organized by two Buddhist schools (other than Theravada), which adopted respectively Sanskrit and Tibetan languages as the mode of transmission of the Buddha’s teachings among their followers. It is the work of these Councils due to which we have been able to preserve from centuries the tradition and teachings of the Buddha. The Buddha’s teachings currently available in Pali, Tibetan, and Sanskrit (most of which though not available in its original form but in Chinese translations) are the result of the Sangities held from time to time. Hence, it appears pertinent, firstly, to decipher the meaning of the term Sangiti and the role played by it. Meaning of Sangiti 1 The paper was presented in the International Conference of Theravada Buddhist Universities organized by International Theravada Buddhist Missionary University (ITBMU) and read in group discussion held under the chairmanship of Ven.

  • Early Buddhism and Theravāda Buddhism: a Comparative Study
    Early Buddhism and Theravāda Buddhism: A Comparative Study By Adesh Barua Introduction In the history of Buddhism, we notice several stages of development. Among these, “Early Buddhism” has been regarded as the most important starting point of Buddhism and also for the later development of Buddhism. It is accepted that Early Buddhism began with the Buddha and gradually developed not only with the community of monks and nuns but also laymen and laywomen. It is also accepted that the original core of early Buddhist teachings are preserved in the Pāli Nikāyas which belongs to the Theravādins. Theravāda Buddhism and its literature are a part of the vast body of doctrines and literary output inspired by the Buddha’s teachings through the centuries. But the controversies as to the origin and meaning of the term Theravāda are not yet over, since Buddhist scholars still debate on the issue. Some have identified Theravāda with Early Buddhism while others are inclined to think that it is one of the Schools that seceded from Early Buddhism. However, in this short paper, I do not wish to reiterate the points that have already been highlighted in researches by different scholars, especially Pāli scholars, and published in their works. I wish here to confine myself only to certain points about the Early Buddhist teachings which are recorded in the Pāli canon and its connection with the language and literature used by Theravādins. And also to highlight the general opinion as to the identification of Theravāda that has come down through generations up to present day in the Theravāda Buddhist countries.

  • Week 1 Replacement
    History of Buddhism Early Buddhism Soon after the Buddha’s death, the first Buddhist Council was held to record the Buddha’s sayings (suttas). These became the basis of the Pali Canon, which has been the orthodox text of reference throughout the history of Buddhism. The teachings were passed down orally for several centuries. Buddhism remained a fairly minor religion until King Ashoka converted in about 260 BCE. He spread Buddhism far beyond the confines of India as shown here: Buddhist proselytism at the time of king Ashoka (260–218 BCE). (Taken from Wikipedia) This tradition remains today in the Theravadan school. The name of the school means "Teachings of the Elders" which implies that this was the most conservative school of Buddhism, a school that has attempted to conserve the original teachings of the Buddha. The emphasis is on ethics and monastic discipline. The Theravadins goal is the achievement of the state of Arahant (lit. "worthy one", "winner of Nibbana"), a life where all (future) birth is at an end, where the holy life is fully achieved, where all that has to be done has been done, and whereupon there is no more returning to the worldly life. Theravada has for many centuries been the predominant religion of Sri Lanka and continental Southeast Asia. Rise of Mahayana (1st c.BCE–2nd c.CE) Mahāyāna (literally "great vehicle"; from the Indian language of Sanskrit) originated in the Indian subcontinent from 1st century BCE as a response to the rather narrow way in which the Buddha’s teachings had come to be practised.
