    Buddhism in America The Columbia Contemporary American Religion Series Columbia Contemporary American Religion Series The United States is the birthplace of religious pluralism, and the spiritual landscape of contemporary America is as varied and complex as that of any country in the world. The books in this new series, written by leading scholars for students and general readers alike, fall into two categories: some of these well-crafted, thought-provoking portraits of the country’s major religious groups describe and explain particular religious practices and rituals, beliefs, and major challenges facing a given community today. Others explore current themes and topics in American religion that cut across denominational lines. The texts are supplemented with care- fully selected photographs and artwork, annotated bibliographies, con- cise profiles of important individuals, and chronologies of major events. — Roman Catholicism in America Islam in America .

This study takes a first step towards understanding this impact. It embarks upon a reading of La Pratique de la joie devant la mort as a record of Bataille’s meditation practice infused with Tibetan and Japanese Zen Buddhist concepts and practices as he understood them, through the prisms of European interactions therewith.

I believe in the power of prayer. It is through the earnest prayer I am able to create intimate bonding with the divine, which is unseen and incomprehensible, yet the most intimate, the most understanding, and the kindest friend. God’s guidance and help come in simple ways; through friends, mentors and unknown strangers from whom I never expect help. That is the grace and beauty of trusting God and asking for his/her help. When I finally decided to do a PhD on Tibetan Buddhism and feminism, the help and guidance I received were incredible and beyond expectations. I am confused about where to start and whose name should appear first in my acknowledgment. Let’s go back to 2010 when I received an Australian Leadership Award and began a new life in Western Australia. I was studying for a Masters of Arts in Human Rights and it was at that time I began to dream of doing a PhD.

  • Religious Studies: Buddhism
    GCE A LEVEL RELIGIOUS STUDIES: BUDDHISM SCHEME OF LEARNING The principal aim of the Scheme of Learning is to support teachers in the delivery of the new specification. It is not intended as a comprehensive reference, but as support for professional teachers to develop stimulating and exciting courses tailored to the needs and skills of their own students in their particular centres. In addition, this document must not be used instead of the specification, but must be used to support the delivery of it. It offers assistance to teachers with regard to possible classroom activities, links to digital resources (both our own, freely available, digital materials and some from external sources), text books and other resources, to provide ideas when planning interesting, topical and engaging lessons. The intention of this scheme of work is that learners will participate in some independent learning tasks prior to attendance at the lesson. In this way, learners should arrive at the lesson with questions concerning areas that they do not understand, and there is more time for analysis and evaluation of the material within the lesson time. For those who do not wish to take this approach, the activity suggestions should still be flexible enough to be adapted. 1 Buddhism Theme 1: Religious figures and sacred texts (part 2) 1A.

All enquiries to [email protected]. espite the considerable appeal of Buddhism among the French and the massive settlement of Zen and Tibetan traditions in France since Dthe late 1960s, very little French scholarly research has been done in France on Buddhism in the West. This fact is surprising when we consider the pioneering works of Henri de Lubac (1952), which initiated historical- textual methodology in the study of the Westward spread of Buddhism. However, with the exception of publications by Buddhist sympathizers or supporters and sporadic visits of journalists to French Buddhists groups, schol- ars showed little interest in the spread of Buddhism in France between the 1950s and the 1990s. In the early 1990s, a new generation of researchers emerged who skillfully combined historical-textual investigation with fieldwork. Never- theless, few books on Buddhism in France were available in the late 1990s.1 The two volumes published by Frédéric Lenoir (his doctoral thesis in sociol- ogy) are offered to remedy the ÒpenuryÓ of French scholarly surveys.

First, it rejects the incoherence of Buddhist modernism, a protean formation that accommodates elements as far afield as ancestral Buddhism and psychotherapies claiming the Buddhist brand. Second, it absorbs the cultural influence of modern secularity in the West. Historically understood, secularity has constituted a centuries-long religious development, not a victory of "science" over "religion." Today's secularity marks a further stage in the cultural decline of "enchanted" truth-claims and the intellectual eclipse of metaphysics, especially under the aegis of phenomenology. In Buddhism as in Christianity, secularity brings forth a new humanistic approach to ethical-spiritual life and creative this-worldly practices. The coming of secular Buddhism: a synoptic view Naïveté is now unavailable to anyone, believer or unbeliever alike. Charles Taylor, A Secular Age, p. 21 eventeen years ago I started teaching Buddhist meditation (mainly what was then called vipassana) in a large lay-based dharma centre cum monastic hermitage outside Sydney, one linked to the Theravadin monastic network.1 What I taught appliedS hallowed formulas and techniques, and raised no Theravadin hackles.

  • European Buddhist Traditions Laurence Cox, National University
    European Buddhist Traditions Laurence Cox, National University of Ireland Maynooth Abstract: This chapter covers those Buddhist traditions which are largely based in Europe, noting some of the specificities of this history as against the North American with which it is sometimes conflated. While the reception history of Buddhism in Europe stretches back to Alexander, Buddhist organization in Europe begins in the later nineteenth century, with the partial exception of indigenous Buddhisms in the Russian Empire. The chapter discusses Asian- oriented Buddhisms with a strong European base; European neo-traditionalisms founded by charismatic individuals; explicitly new beginnings; and the broader world of “fuzzy religion” with Buddhist components, including New Age, “night-stand Buddhists”, Christian creolizations, secular mindfulness and engaged Buddhism. In general terms European Buddhist traditions reproduce the wider decline of religious institutionalization and boundary formation that shapes much of European religion generally. Keywords: Buddhism, Buddhist modernism, creolization, Europe, immigration, meditation, night-stand Buddhists, Western Buddhism In 1908, the London investigative weekly Truth hosted a debate between two Burmese- ordained European bhikkhus (monks), U Dhammaloka (Laurence Carroll?) and Ananda Metteyya (Allan Bennett). Objecting to newspaper reports presenting the latter, recently arrived in Britain, as the first bhikkhu in Europe, Dhammaloka argued on July 8th that Ananda Metteyya had not been properly ordained, citing the Upasampada-Kammavacana to show that ordinands must state their freedom from various diseases, including asthma (which Bennett suffered from). Ananda Metteyya replied on July 15th with a discussion of the Burmese Kammavacana and the Mahavagga and stated that he had believed himself cured at the time of ordination.
