Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 329 4th International Conference on Contemporary Education, Social Sciences and Humanities (ICCESSH 2019) Study on Conceptual Precision and the Limited Applicability of "Truth", "Theory" and "Practice" to Indian Philosophical Traditions* Andrei V. Paribok Department of Cultural Studies and Philosophy of the East Institute of Philosophy St. Petersburg State University St. Petersburg, Russia E-mail: [email protected] Abstract—The paper treats some conceptual problems of English Dictionary” provides us with a plain and naive adequate translation of the Indian traditional philosophical lexicographical translation of sacca as “real, true”. In English, texts. A certain deficiency of Western philosophical “true” and “truth” as strict terms both mean primarily either a background which is rather often case among the translators statement (“He does not tell us the truth about the event”) or of these texts into European languages sometimes results in a bit metaphorically a mental state (E.g. “He knows the truth terminological vagueness and semantic misinterpretation of the about the event, but keeps silence”) but not the event referred most crucial concepts of the Indian thought. It is rigorously to, which deserves to be designated “real”. It is only true that demonstrated that the Buddha did not intend to proclaim any meanings “true” and “real” are often confounded in a casual “noble truths” but that his task was to explain the chief conversation, in ancient India as well as modern English. Yet, characteristics of the human reality and appropriate attitudes sacca is not only an everyday colloquial word. It is actually towards them. -

The Ekottarika-Āgama Parallel to the Saccavibhaṅga-Sutta and the Four (Noble) Truths
Buddhist Studies Review 23(2) 2006, 145–53 ISSN (print): 0256-2897 doi: 10.1558/bsrv.2006.23.2.145 ISSN (online): 1747-9681 The Ekottarika-āgama Parallel to the Saccavibhaṅga-sutta and the Four (Noble) Truths Anālayo Department of Indology and Tibetology, Philipps University, Marburg, Germany ABSTRACT: The present article off ers a translation of the Ekottarika-āgama parallel to the Saccavibhaṅga-sutta, followed by a discussion of a signifi cant diff erence to be found between the Pāli and the Ekottarika-āgama versions of this discourse. This dif- ference supports the suggestion that at an earlier time references to the four noble truths in this and other discourses may have been without the qualifi cation ‘noble’. INTRODUCTION The Saccavibhaṅga-sutta of the Majjhima-nikāya1 treats a subject that lies at the very heart of early Buddhist philosophy and practice: the four noble truths. The Pāli version of this discourse has altogether three Chinese counterparts. One of these three Chinese parallels is found in the Madhyama-āgama collection trans- lated under the leadership of Gautama Saṅghadeva.2 Another parallel is attributed to An Shi-gao (安世高), whose opus belongs to the earliest stages of translation activity in China.3 The third Chinese parallel to the Saccavibhaṅga-sutta occurs in the Ekottarika- āgama,4 a discourse collection probably translated by Zhu Fo-nian (竺佛念), based on a text recited from memory by Dharmanandī. The identity of the translator of this collection is uncertain, since it is not entirely clear if the translation now extant in Chinese has only been revised by Gautama Saṅghadeva, or whether it is an actual retranslation undertaken by him, a retranslation that then replaced the earlier translation by Dharmanandī and Zhu Fo-nian.5 1. -
The Interface Between Buddhism and International Humanitarian Law (Ihl)
REDUCING SUFFERING DURING CONFLICT: THE INTERFACE BETWEEN BUDDHISM AND INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN LAW (IHL) Exploratory position paper as background for 4th to 6th September 2019 conference in Dambulla, Sri Lanka Peter Harvey (University of Sunderland, Emeritus), with: Kate Crosby (King’s College, London), Mahinda Deegalle (Bath Spa University), Elizabeth Harris (University of Birmingham), Sunil Kariyakarawana (Buddhist Chaplain to Her Majesty’s Armed Forces), Pyi Kyaw (King’s College, London), P.D. Premasiri (University of Peradeniya, Emeritus), Asanga Tilakaratne (University of Colombo, Emeritus), Stefania Travagnin (University of Groningen). Andrew Bartles-Smith (International Committee of the Red Cross). Though he should conquer a thousand men in the battlefield, yet he, indeed, is the nobler victor who should conquer himself. Dhammapada v.103 AIMS AND RATIONALE OF THE CONFERENCE This conference, organized by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in collaboration with a number of universities and organizations, will explore correspondences between Buddhism and IHL and encourage a constructive dialogue and exchange between the two domains. The conference will act as a springboard to understanding how Buddhism can contribute to regulating armed conflict, and what it offers in terms of guidance on the conduct of, and behavior during, war for Buddhist monks and lay persons – the latter including government and military personnel, non-State armed groups and civilians. The conference is concerned with the conduct of armed conflict, and not with the reasons and justifications for it, which fall outside the remit of IHL. In addition to exploring correspondences between IHL and Buddhist ethics, the conference will also explore how Buddhist combatants and communities understand IHL, and where it might align with Buddhist doctrines and practices: similarly, how their experience of armed conflict might be drawn upon to better promote IHL and Buddhist principles, thereby improving conduct of hostilities on the ground. -

1 a Preliminary Survey of Burmese Manuscripts in Great Britain And
SOAS Bulletin of Burma Research, Vol. 2, No. 1, Spring 2004, ISSN 1479-8484 A Preliminary Survey of Burmese Manuscripts in Great Britain and Ireland Tilman Frasch Manchester Metropolitan University It does not take much imagination to assume that Great Britain has a rich collection of Burmese manuscripts, given that her rule over the country lasted more than a century. However, the cataloguing of these manuscripts is still in its infancy, especially when compared to Germany where the "Verzeichnis der Orientalischen Handschriften in Deutschland" (VOHD), a large project sponsored by the German Research Council, aims to compile basic data for all oriental manuscripts in German public collections and archives. So far, no less than four volumes have been published on the Burmese manuscripts alone.1 The only English reference guides that can bear comparison are the volumes listing the holdings of the Wellcome Institute and the List of the Burney Parabaiks in the former India Office Library. The following compilation is a first attempt to list the existing catalogues for the Burmese manuscripts in Great Britain and, as Dublin is included, Ireland. The list is mainly bibliographical, but it is hoped that it will nevertheless help to and perhaps even lead to a more systematic survey of the manuscripts than was possible here. In this respect, it does not claim to be complete. The publisher of the Bulletin will however be delighted to update this list whenever new catalogues or bibliographic references are brought to his knowledge.

66–95. © Tsering Dorji Objectless Loving-Kindness & Compassion
Objectless Loving-Kindness & Compassion: Why anārambaṇā maitrīkaruṇā became unique to bodhisattvas. Tsering Dorji Abstract This paper* analyses why anārambaṇā maitrīkaruṇā became an important and unique concept in early non-tantric Indian Mahāyāna Buddhism. Through the study of early Mahāyāna Sūtras and Śāstras, I explore what the early Mahāyāna Sūtras and Śāstras tell us about ‘objectless loving- kindness and compassion’ in the context of threefold maitrī and karuṇā. By examining these early Mahāyāna Sūtras and Śāstras, and also early non-Mahāyāna Pāli nikāyas, abhidhammas and commentaries, I argue that anārambaṇā maitrīkaruṇā became unique to Mahāyāna because of the fundamental shift of goal from mainstream Buddhism; why śrāvakas or Hīnayānists do not practise anārambaṇā maitrīkaruṇā is not originally because of lack of non-conceptual wisdom or lack of understanding of the emptiness of dharma, but because for śrāvakas and mainstream Buddhists maitrī and karuṇā are not essential in attaining their bodhi. Śrāvakas are those who learn and uphold the teachings taught by the Buddha by actualising the true nature of dharma (dharmatāṃ sākṣātkurvanti).1 *When this paper was submitted for publication, we saw that it proposed an interesting argument, but the Sanskrit quotations were riddled with mistakes. Both we and the author were under lockdown and had no access to most of the texts. We decided to make the many corrections which seemed obvious, and to leave the other mistakes as received, given that they rarely if ever affect the argument.

XIV, 276 pp. s ISBN 0-86013-296-X; Volume III, ibid., 1992. XIV, 292 pp. s ISBN 0-86013-299-4 The Pali Text Society has had the excellent idea of publishing the collected papers of K. R. Norman. So far three volumes have been published. Volume One contains 30 articles published between 1956 and 1977, volume Two 22 articles published between 1977 and 1983 and volume Three 22 articles published between 1983 and 1988. All articles have been reset and postscripts to several articles refer to other papers which bear on problems treated in them. Each volume contains an index verborum. Norman's papers range widely over the field of Middle Indo-Aryan studies. In these three volumes ten papers deal with the Agokan inscriptions. Many papers examine philological problems in P~li and Jain texts. Others deal with grammatical and metrical problems. There is no aspect of Middle Indo-Aryan studies which is not examined by Norman in one of his papers. His Collected Papers contain a mine of information and are an indispensable research tool. We are eagerly looking forward to future volumes. It is to be hoped that they will include also a selection of his reviews, several of which are of fundamental importance for Middle Indo-Aryan studies. One must be grateful to the Pali Text Society for publishing Norman's papers in such an exemplary way. -
