We have now passed the half-way point of the first decade in the new millennium, and the course for the future has now been set. Currently, the Japanese economy is enjoying renewed energy after a decade-long deep recession. Looking at this economic trend, especially in light of the boom following the 1970s and ’80s, it is clear that growth and decline move in a circular pattern. Now, the current situation allows us to look forward toward increasing and stabilizing these gains. Because of the nature of circular trends in human development, we are able to bear in mind the mistakes of the past as we advance toward a brighter future. Japan Week 2006 gives us the opportunity to build a bridge between cultures, enabling us to share our knowledge and experiences of Japan through lectures, symposia, workshops, events and even awards. Japan Week demonstrates an ongoing commitment to help bring together people of different races, religions, cultures and ethnic backgrounds in one world. I sincerely hope that Japan Week 2006 grants an excellent opportunity for sharing a greater understanding of Japan and its people. It is also my hope that participants of this week’s events will become leaders in a flourishing dialogue between Japan and the United States for building a more peaceful global community. I would like to acknowledge the many people who helped make Japan Week 2006 possible: Monsignor Robert Sheeran, Seton Hall University President; Molly Easo Smith, Dean of College of Arts and Sciences; Edwin Pack-wah Leung, Chairperson of Asian Studies Department; Mark Gaulter, Director of International Programs and Asia Center; Hiroshi Sato, Acting Consulate General at Consulate General of Japan in New York; Tsutomu Karino, Executive Director and Secretary at Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry of New York, Inc.; Keiji Shono, Deputy Director at Japan Foundation in New York; Christopher Sharrett, Director of the Multicultural Program; Kathy Diamantopoulos and the Department of Public Relations and Marketing; the program’s many sponsors; and the entire Seton Hall University community. I sincerely hope that Japan Week 2006 provides an excellent opportunity toward sharing a greater understand- ing of Japan and its people. It is also my dream that participants of this week’s event will become leaders in a flourishing dialogue between Japan and the United States for creating more peaceful global community.

  • The Current State of Sectarian Universities
    Japanese Journal of Religious Studies 31/2: 429-464 © 2004 Nanzan Institute for Religion and Culture ROUND-TABLE DISCUSSION The Current State of Sectarian Universities [Editor’s introduction] In order to introduce issues surrounding the contempo­ rary training of Buddhist priests we invited professors from Taisho, Rissho, and Komazawa Universities to take part in a round-table discussion (zadankai 座談会）of the current state of sectarian universities. For many of our readers this will be a famil­ iar format. A small group of experts are given topics and questions in advance, then brought together for a moderated discussion. While tms type of arrangement may not produce the depth or consistency of argument that one finds in an academic arti­ cle, it has the advantage of being able to generate a much broader range of opinions and issues. We felt therefore that this would be an ideal way to introduce an impor­ tant topic about which little has been written. Another benefit is the mix of personal­ ities and unscripted nature of the event, which can result in very frank discussions as well as fascinating tangents. Readers will recognize that the three universities represented here are all in the Tokyo area. Unfortunately, financial and logistical limitations prevented the inclu­ sion of professors from other schools, but we feel confident that the issues raised here are central to all sectarian universities. We also decided, after much debate, to limit ourselves to four discussants. This was based on a desire to include as many view­ points and traditions as possible, while at the same time ensuring that each partici­ pant had enough time to express his opinions.

How do they imagine their religion, and more importantly, how does their understanding of their tradition differ from the one found in our typical introduction to Buddhism textbooks? In order to address these fundamental questions, this dissertation concentrates on the educational programs and curricular canons of Korean Buddhism. It aims to find out which part of their enormous canonical and non-canonical literature do Korean Buddhist professionals choose to focus on as the required curriculum in their training (and what do they leave out), why is it chosen and by whom, and how does this specific education shape their understanding of their own religion and their roles within it.
