  • Visakha Puja: Celebration of the Day of Vesak
    Visakha Puja: Celebration of the Day of Vesak By Prof. Dr. Phra Dharmakosajarn Rector, Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University Bangkok, Thailand Definition Visakha Puja, or the Day of Vesak, is the festival celebrating the birth, enlightenment and parinibbana (passing away) of the Lord Buddha. It falls on the full moon day of the month of Visakha or Vesak, the sixth lunar month, (which usually falls during the period May in the Gregorian calendar). Significance According to the Theravada tradition, the three most important events in the life of the Buddha – his birth, his achievement of enlightenment and his entry into of parinibbana – all occurred on the full moon day of Visakha. Aspects of the Dharma relating to the birth, enlightenment and parinibbana of the Buddha include gratitude, the Four Noble Truths and mindfulness. Historical Life of the Buddha The Buddha was born in Lumbini Park, between the cities Kapilavastu and Devadaha of the Sakya Kingdom, in present – day Nepal, on the morning of Friday, the fifteenth waxing day of the sixth lunar month, 623 BCE, 80 years before the beginning of the Buddhist Era. He exchanged the household life for that of an ascetic and after much strenuous effort attained full enlightenment at Uruvela in the kingdom of Magadha, present – day Bodhgaya, India, on the morning of Wednesday, the fifteenth waxing day of the sixth lunar month, 45 years before beginning of the Buddhist Era. After his enlightenment, he taught those who were able to receive his teaching and countless men and women achieved enlightenment. The Buddha achieved parinibbana, that is, he passed from this world, at the age of 80 on Tuesday, the fifteenth waxing day of the sixth lunar month in the Sala Park of the Malla near the town of Kusinara in the Malla Kingdom, present day Kushinagar, Uttar Pradesh, India.

  • Handbook of Religious Beliefs and Practices
    STATE OF WASHINGTON DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS HANDBOOK OF RELIGIOUS BELIEFS AND PRACTICES 1987 FIRST REVISION 1995 SECOND REVISION 2004 THIRD REVISION 2011 FOURTH REVISION 2012 FIFTH REVISION 2013 HANDBOOK OF RELIGIOUS BELIEFS AND PRACTICES INTRODUCTION The Department of Corrections acknowledges the inherent and constitutionally protected rights of incarcerated offenders to believe, express and exercise the religion of their choice. It is our intention that religious programs will promote positive values and moral practices to foster healthy relationships, especially within the families of those under our jurisdiction and within the communities to which they are returning. As a Department, we commit to providing religious as well as cultural opportunities for offenders within available resources, while maintaining facility security, safety, health and orderly operations. The Department will not endorse any religious faith or cultural group, but we will ensure that religious programming is consistent with the provisions of federal and state statutes, and will work hard with the Religious, Cultural and Faith Communities to ensure that the needs of the incarcerated community are fairly met. This desk manual has been prepared for use by chaplains, administrators and other staff of the Washington State Department of Corrections. It is not meant to be an exhaustive study of all religions. It does provide a brief background of most religions having participants housed in Washington prisons. This manual is intended to provide general guidelines, and define practice and procedure for Washington State Department of Corrections institutions. It is intended to be used in conjunction with Department policy. While it does not confer theological expertise, it will, provide correctional workers with the information necessary to respond too many of the religious concerns commonly encountered.

  • 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.

Tomo I Pepe Medel Septiembre a diciembre de 2015 Contenido general Presentación……………………………………………………………………………………………. 2 1 Septiembre……………………………………………………………………………………. 3 Octubre…………………………………………………………………………………………. 42 Noviembre……………………………………………………………………………………… 90 Diciembre………………………………………………………………………………………. 126 Presentación Muchos de los lectores de mi blog personal en Facebook History of Beauty (https://www.facebook.com/historiadelabelleza) me han solicitado que republique algunas de las notas que han considerado interesantes y que en su momento no pudieron leer y que además por el tiempo en que las publiqué, es muy difícil buscarlas en la página, a pesar de señalarles la fecha en que las subí a la red. Ante esta situación decidí re trabajar cada una de las notas y organizarlas a manera de un libro en línea que rescate todos esos comentarios y que los interesados lo puedan bajar de 2 la red, imprimir, coleccionar o lo que ustedes decidan. Esta colección que publicaré cuatrimestralmente se denomina: History of Beauty. Comentarios, anécdotas y relatos sobre los concursos de belleza. Es por esto que con mucho gusto les presento el primer tomo de este esfuerzo, el cual comprende las notas publicadas desde la aparición de mi blog el 9 de septiembre de 2015 y comprende hasta la última aportación subida en diciembre del mismo año. Esta publicación incluye las 185 fotografía empleadas en las diversas notas que escribí durante el último cuatrimestre del año 2015 y que en algunos casos, son fotografías que solicitaron subiera y yo aproveché para hacer un breve artículo. Espero que con la lectura de este tomo, los jóvenes aficionados a los concursos de belleza puedan encontrar los orígenes de nuestra pasión y los que ya son grandes conocedores del tema, logren revivir la emoción que nos siguen causando los certámenes que, al menos a mí, se han convertido en parte de mi vida y han convivido conmigo por más de 50 años.

    BUDDHA DHYÃNA DANA REVIEW ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Volume 1 No. 3 Registered by Australia Post Publication No. VAR 3103. Sept 1991 Please refer Graphical Image No: V1N3.1.1 B.D.C.(U) Ltd Dhamma Chakra Logo & Woodblock print of Long Life Endless Knot EDITORIAL Towards the preservation of the Sangha With the Rainy Season upon us again, we are delighted a Venerable Mahathero Bhikkhu has agreed to accept our Directors' invitation to reside at this Centre for this time. Such events depend on prior causes. This Australian born Editor is well content to be living in a Centre where good causes arise within the hearts of Members. These Members labour to sustain the necessary infrastructure conditions at this place to make it a suitable location for the Sangha to develop their Buddhist Practice during the Rainy Season. With the approach of the year 2000 C.E., it is sobering to consider the changes that have occurred and are occurring this century in the faring of the Sangha's position in many other Countries. When the overall world situation is reviewed over the last century there are many apparent gains. One great gain is the availability of Buddhist texts in many languages. As the Venerable Bhikkhu Nanamoli noted, the Jesuit missionary, Filippo Desideri, brought back a long and accurate account both of the Buddha's life and his doctrine from Tibet in the first quarter of the l8th. century: it remained unpublished for two hundred years. Other accounts fared likewise. By contrast, China, since the invention of printing under the Sung (960-1127), had a long history of timely Buddhist publication.
