Lauderdale, The Bahamas All aboard for the sweet life with Princess Cruises’ new cocoa temptations. Regal Princess Hurricane season aside, the balmy Caribbean is always enticing, especially during the throes of a chilly USA winter. But Princess Cruises really knocked my thermal socks off when I boarded their newest ship, the huge 3,600­passenger Regal Princess, to embark on the maiden voyage of the dramatically expanded “Chocolate Journeys” program. Yep, it’s all about chocolate, 24/7, and it’s the most expansive gourmet desserts program on the ocean. Impressively, the endeavor is spearheaded by one of the world’s top master chocolatiers, Norman Love, the former Godiva specialty chocolatier whose Norman Love Confections team now produces 55,000 hand­painted, gourmet chocolate candies on a daily basis. (Love on the Love Boat. It’s a match made in sweet heaven.) To celebrate Princess Cruise’s 50th anniversary, Norman Love worked with the cruise line to create a new onboard experience that includes premium chocolate offerings for desserts, cocktails, candy­ making demos, chocolate/wine tastings, turn­down service pillow treats, and even spa treatments at the ship’s Lotus Spa. By the end of 2016, it’ll be available throughout the 18­ship fleet. http://www.holidaygoddess.guide/destinations/bahamas­the­love­boat­sails­to­chocolate­paradise/ 1/5 2/12/2016 BAHAMAS: The Love Boat’s New Chocolate Voyage : Holiday Goddess, Travel for Less Master Chocolatier Norman Love.

    Chan Buddhism During the Times of Yixuan and Hsing Yun

    The JapaneseAssociationJapanese Association of Indian and Buddhist Studies Joumal ofJndian and Buddhist Studies Vol, 64, No. 3, March 2016 (261) Times of Chan Buddhism duringthe and Hsing Yun: Yixuan Applying Chinese Chan Principles to Contemporary Society SHIJuewei i} Lirlji Yixuan uttaXil( (d. 866) and Fo Guang Hsing Yun es)kZg:- (1927-), although separated by rnore than a millennium, innovatively applied Chan teachings to the societies in which they lived to help their devotees discover their humanity and transcend their existential conditions. Both religious leaders not only survived persecution, but brought their faiths to greater heights. This paper studies how these masters adapted Chan Buddhist teachings to the woes and conditions of their times. In particular, I shall review how yixuan and Hsing yun adapted the teachings of their predecessors, added value to the socio-political milieu of their times, and used familiar language to reconcile reality and their beliefs. Background These two Chan masters were selected because of the significance of their contributions. Lirlji Yixuan was not only the founder ofa popular Lirlji2) school in Chan Buddhism but was also posthumously awarded the title of Meditation Master of and Wisdom Illumination(HuizhaoChanshi ue,H", maeM)(Sasaki Kirchner 2oog, s2) by Emperor Yizong em7 of the Tang dynasty (r. 859-873). Hsing Yun, a very strong proponent ofHumanistic Buddhism, is currently the recipient of ls honorary doctorate degrees from universities around the world (Shi and Weng 2015). To have received such accolades, both Chan masters ought to have made momentous contribution to their societies. Although Yixuan and Hsing Yun had humble beginnings, they were well-grounded in Buddhist teachings.

  • Memorial Park for Women Laborers”: Gender, Religion, and the Politics of Memory in Taiwan’S Urban Renewal

    Memorial Park for Women Laborers”: Gender, Religion, and the Politics of Memory in Taiwan’S Urban Renewal

    Journal of Archaeology and Anthropology‧75:37-70‧2011 From the “Twenty-five Ladies’ Tomb” to a “Memorial Park for Women Laborers”: Gender, Religion, and the Politics of Memory in Taiwan’s Urban Renewal Anru Lee∗ and Wen-hui Anna Tang** ABSTRACT This essay looks at the recent renovation of the Twenty-five Ladies’ Tomb, and examines the politics of the feminist movements and the politics of memory as they are expressed through different meanings of female ghosts, in southern Taiwan. People who were involved in the renovation process included the families of the deceased “twenty-five maidens,” the Kaohsiung city government, and feminist groups in Kaohsiung and elsewhere in Taiwan – most notably the Kaohsiung Association for the Promotion of Women’s Rights – all of whom had different considerations and therefore diverse expectations regarding the future and purpose of the tomb. In Specters of Marx (2006), Derrida uses the idea of “specters” and “haunting” as consequences of historical injustice and tragedy metaphorically but powerfully. These two elements come together in our essay as well. However, the “ghosts” in our accounts are more literally ghosts with whom some (if not all) of our ethnographic subjects interact. They appear, express their sorrow, and demonstrate their grievances. The reestablishment of peace and order essential to residents of both the living world and the afterlife thus hinges upon mutual understanding and close collaboration between them. Yet, as meanings are constantly contested, so is the nature of the deceased’s requests. The different interpretations that the (living) socio-political forces give to the deceased’s needs open up new terrains of contestation for the memory of the past and the rights and obligations at the present.

Politics of Difference in Taiwan. Pp. 181-207. London and New York: Routledge. 2 Assessing (Multi)culturalism through Public Art Practices Anru Lee and Perng-juh Peter Shyong This chapter investigates the issue of multiculturalism through public art practices in Taiwan. Specifically, we focus on the public art project of the Mass 14Rapid Transit System in Kaohsiung (hereafter, Kaohsiung MRT), and examine how the discourse of multiculturalism intertwines with the discourse of public art that informs the practice of the latter. Multiculturalism in this case is considered as an ideological embodiment of the politics of difference, wherein our main concern is placed on the ways in which different constituencies in Kaohsiung respond to the political-economic ordering of Kaohsiung in post-Second World War Taiwan and to the challenges Kaohsiung City faces in the recent events engendering global economic change. We see the Kaohsiung MRT public art project as a field of contentions and its public artwork as a ‘device of imagination’ and ‘technique of representation’ (see Ngo and Wang in this volume).

    CONTINUING POLITICAL FORCE OF RELICS IN THE MODERN ASIAN SOCIETY: THE BUDDHA’S TOOTH RELIC AT FOGUANGSHAN Stacy Mann 11220046 [email protected] Prof. Benjamin Brose Asian 395 – Honors Thesis December 5th 2011 i CONTINUING POLITICAL FORCE OF RELICS IN THE MODERN ASIAN SOCIETY: THE BUDDHA’S TOOTH RELIC AT FOGUANGSHAN Introduction Some scholars have suggested that as Buddhism moved into the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, where there were many international connections and a spread of western ideas and science, it will became more separate from the state. Scholars such as Thomas DuBois, Mayfair Yang, and Vincent Goosaert have all discussed the move toward a more secularized state in Modern China, especially under the rule of the communist party, who viewed religion as an exploitative institution. Even before the period of Communist rule in China, when the nationalist party, the Guomindang (國民黨), controlled China, there was a move away from religions and religious practices that were seen as “superstitious”. After the Guomindang moved to Taiwan, they regulated religion, and tried to eliminate the participation of religion into public arenas, such as politics. These ideas suggest a move away from any “superstitious” practice, and a move toward a secularized state that may seek to control the religious organizations, but will not allow them any part in their government.1 Yet while I was studying in the South of Taiwan in 2010 I visited the Foguangshan monastery (佛光山寺) in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. There I was informed of and had the chance to see a tooth relic of the Historical Buddha, the Buddha who lived in India two thousand four hundred years ago.

The dialogues are designed to present the most relevant questions and answers about the Kaohsiung Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) System, including some basic introductions on the design, construction and operation, etc. I’d like to encourage our staffs to make good use of this booklet and try to memorize all the phrases so as to introduce the Kaohsiung MRT in fluent English. I hope that this booklet is of great use in enhancing their English skills both in terms of listening and speaking. Furthermore, it is also my wish that this book will help build up their confidence in communicating in English, and assist them to pass the GEPT test. ᓁགྷந ̚රϔ઼ 95 ѐ 5 ͡ President May 2006 - 1 - ϫ ᐂ Table of Contents ௐ˘ಏ̮Ĉ̬௜੼ฯଥྻ̳Φ Part One: Introducing Kaohsiung Rapid Transit Corporation (KRTC) ௐ˟ಏ̮Ĉ̬௜੼ฯଥྻ̳Φݡܲ߆ඉ Part Two: Introducing the Policy on Quality Assurance of KRTC ᛳְຽܢௐˬಏ̮Ĉ̬௜੼ฯଥྻ̳Φ Part Three: Introducing the Affiliated Business of KRTC ௐαಏ̮Ĉ̬௜੼ฯଥྻ̳Φ˿гฟ൴ Part Four: Introducing the Land Development of KRTC ௐ̣ಏ̮Ĉ̬௜੼ฯଥྻ̳Φ̳Вְચ఍ Part Five: Introducing the Public Affairs Department at KRTC ௐ̱ಏ̮Ĉ̬௜੼ฯଥྻ࿪ᓑ֘ Part Six: Introducing the Trains of the Kaohsiung MRT ௐ˛ಏ̮Ĉ̬௜੼ฯଥྻ֘৭ Part Seven: Introducing the Stations of the Kaohsiung MRT ௐˣಏ̮Ĉ̬௜੼ฯଥྻ߉̍ Part Eight: Introducing the Construction of the Kaohsiung MRT ௐ˝ಏ̮Ĉ̬௜੼ฯଥྻᒉྻఢထ(˘) Part Nine: Introducing the Operation Planning of the Kaohsiung MRT (1) ௐȈಏ̮Ĉ̬௜੼ฯଥྻᒉྻఢထ(˟) Part Ten: Introducing the Operation Planning of the Kaohsiung MRT (2) - 2 - ௐ˘ಏ̮Ĉ̬௜੼ฯଥྻ̳Φ Part One: Introducing Kaohsiung Rapid Transit Corporation (KRTC) 01.
