  • A Translation of the Sokushin-Jobutsu-Gi
    A Translation of the 密 Sokushin-Jobutsu-gi 教 文 Stephan Beyer 化 [I. INTRODUCTION: TEXTUAL SOURCES] Question: Many sutras and sastras say that it takes three kalpas to become a Buddha; on what grounds do you base the principle you have now set up that one may become a Buddha in this very body? Answer: The Tathagata has spoken in this way in the esoteric collection. Question: What are the sutras which say this? Answer: The Vajrasekhara-sutra says: One who cultivates this samadhi immediately realizes the enlightenment of the Buddha. ('This samadhi' means the samadhi of Mahavairocana, the noble monarch crowned by the single letter [bhrum].) And it says further: If there is a being who receives this teaching and diligently cultivates it during the four watches of the day and of the night, then in the present world he will realize and attain the pramudita-bhumi and, after sixteen lives, complete enlight- enment. (When this says 'teaching', it indicates the king of great teachings, the samadhi wherein one realizes the dharmakaya within oneself. ' Pramudita-bhumi' is not what. the exoteric schools explain as the first bhumi, but is rather the first bhumi in the Buddha-yana of our own school, as is fully explained in the Bhumi-varga. 'Sixteen lives' indicates the lives of the sixteen bodhisattvas, as the Bhumi-varga also fully explains.) And it says further: If one is able to cultivate in accordance with this sovereign principle, then in this present world one attains the highest perfect enlightenment. -96- It also says: You should know that your

  • Konsep Ketuhanan Dan Kemanusiaan Dalam Hindu
    KONSEP KETUHANAN DAN KEMANUSIAAN DALAM HINDU Oleh: IBG Yudha Triguna Pascasarjana Universitas Hindu Indonesia Denpasar [email protected] Abstract This article discusses the concept of theology and humanity in Hinduism of its implications for human relationships. Hindus believe in one God personified into many names, attributes, and functions. The belief in the personification of God in many varieties is based on the idea of the Saguna Brahman. The belief in God with His plural manifestations has inspired the whole series of ceremonies in Hinduism, both in relation to the life of the individual, the ceremony of preserving nature, the salvation and the happiness. The consistency of mind, speech, and deed determines man to hell, heaven and moksa as the world after death, as well as the measure of salvation in life.

  • The Traces of the Bhagavad Gita in the Perennial Philosophy—A Critical Study of the Gita’S Reception Among the Perennialists
    religions Article The Traces of the Bhagavad Gita in the Perennial Philosophy—A Critical Study of the Gita’s Reception Among the Perennialists Mohammad Syifa Amin Widigdo 1,2 1 Faculty of Islamic Studies, Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta, Yogyakarta 55183, Indonesia; [email protected] 2 Wonderhome Library, Yogyakarta 55294, Indonesia Received: 14 April 2020; Accepted: 28 April 2020; Published: 6 May 2020 Abstract: This article studies the reception of the Bhagavad Gita within circles of Perennial Philosophy scholars and examines how the Gita is interpreted to the extent that it influenced their thoughts. Within the Hindu tradition, the Gita is often read from a dualist and/or non-dualist perspective in the context of observing religious teachings and practices. In the hands of Perennial Philosophy scholars, the Gita is read from a different angle. Through a critical examination of the original works of the Perennialists, this article shows that the majority of the Perennial traditionalists read the Gita from a dualist background but that, eventually, they were convinced that the Gita’s paradigm is essentially non-dualist. In turn, this non-dualist paradigm of the Gita influences and transforms their ontological thought, from the dualist to the non-dualist view of the reality. Meanwhile, the non-traditionalist group of Perennial Philosophy scholars are not interested in this ontological discussion. They are more concerned with the question of how the Gita provides certain ways of attaining human liberation and salvation. Interestingly, both traditionalist and non-traditionalist camps are influenced by the Gita, at the same time, inserting an external understanding and interpretation into the Gita.

  • Vedanta and Buddhism Final Enlightenment in Early Buddhism Frank Hoffman, West Chester University
    Welcome to the Nineteenth International Congress of Vedanta being held on the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth campus. It is very exciting to think that the Vedanta Congress now is being held in the land of the “Boston Brahmins” Thoreau, Emerson and Whitman. It is very heartening to note that a large number of scholars are regular attendees of the Vedanta Congress, several are coming from India. We wel- come them all and are committed to help them in any way we can, to make their stay in Dartmouth pleasant and memorable. Our most appreciative thanks are due to Rajiv Malhotra and the Infinity Foun- dation and Pandit Ramsamooj of 3 R's Foundation for their generous financial support for holding the conference. We are particularly grateful to Anthony Garro, Provost, and William Hogan, Dean of College of Arts and Sciences, University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth for his continuous support of the Center for Indic Studies. Our special thanks to Maureen Jennings, Center's Administrative Assistant and a number of faculty and students (especially Deepti Mehandru and Shwetha Bhat) who have worked hard in the planning and organization of this conference.

  • Saigyō's “Six Elements and Four Mandalas” Sequence
    Saigyō’s “Six Elements and Four Mandalas” Sequence: The Story and Rhetoric of Enlightenment Bonnie L. McClure A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts University of Washington 2015 Committee: Paul S. Atkins Edward T. Mack Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Asian Languages and Literature ©Copyright 2015 Bonnie L. McClure University of Washington Abstract Saigyō’s “Six Elements and Four Mandalas” Sequence: The Story and Rhetoric of Enlightenment Bonnie L. McClure Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Associate Professor Paul S. Atkins Asian Languages and Literature This paper analyzes Saigyō’s little-discussed waka cycle on the six elements and four mandalas of Shingon. I first introduce the sequence in the context of other similar works by Saigyō, then turn to a discussion of the place of Saigyō’s poetry as a whole within the history of Buddhist themes in Japanese poetry. Saigyō lived at a turning point when Heian-era tension between the poetic and Buddhist traditions was giving way to robust and varied philosophical defenses of their compatibility. Saigyō’s work formed a defense of this compatibility via practice: he allowed his Buddhist and poetic impulses to confront each other within his poetry. After tracing this thread through Saigyō’s oeuvre more broadly, I introduce the Shingon conceptualization of the six elements and four mandalas, then translate and analyze each of Saigyō’s ten poems, commenting on stylistic elements and allusions and on the larger structure of the cycle. I find these poems to be representative of Saigyō’s broader vision in that they treat a Buddhist concept with the same sense of narrative and inner dialogue that marks the encounter between Buddhism and poetry in Saigyō’s work as a whole.

From its beginning, Indian art has employed an uninterrupted iconic mode of representation that focuses on an anthropomorphic mimesis to describe desire, devotion, and ascetic denial. The paper focuses on the earliest such representations of the body in religion, art, and literature as background to the iconographic development in India.
