On July 24th I celebrated 40 years as a Catholic priest (my Ruby Jubilee). Before that I knew that I was going to move to a different parish and a different CONTENTS town, so my Jubilee Celebration became my farewell to the parish I had lived and worked in for nine years. Then I began to pack. I had about six weeks to get ready. For one of those weeks I was on pilgrimage to Santiago in Spain and Fatima in Portugal. I was already tired and under stress, having had to cancel a holiday some weeks before. When I got home from the pilgrimage I had three days to complete my packing before I moved. The move has been physically traumatic. I have never been so tired. Some days I have been almost completely exhausted – and I am still unpacking! What has all that got to do with the theme of this magazine? Growing in holiness can be traumatic at times. It means change or more accurately conversion.

The award ceremony was launched in memory of Buddhist Scholar Atish Dipankar, Mahasanhanayaka Vissuddhananda Mahathero, Sanghanayaka Agrasara Mahathero and Kripasaran Mahathero by Bangladesh Bouddha Kristi Prachar Sangha. I was overjoyed and excited on two accounts: namely because of the thought that I would be returning to Bangladesh where I had lived for almost five years, where I actually first met Vassula in person and more importantly, because of the fact that Vassula had been nominated for a fourth time in recognition of her great contribution and efforts towards establishing inter-religious harmony and promoting world peace among all peoples and faiths. Thankfully, I was able to accept the invitation to accompany her and this short report is an attempt at sharing my experience of this breakfast and warm camaraderie from several of the Athenian occasion and mission visit to Bangladesh, the country in which stalwarts and collaborators of True Life in God: Gethsemane, True Life in God began, almost 30 years ago.

    International Journal of Arts Humanities and Social Sciences Volume 2 Issue 6 ǁ July 2017. www.ijahss.com Ambedkar and The Dalit Buddhist Movement in India (1950- 2000) Dr. Shaji. A Faculty Member, Department of History School of Distance Education University of Kerala, Palayam, Thiruvananthapuram Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar was one of the most remarkable men of his time, and the story of his life is the story of his exceptional talent and outstanding force of character which helped him to succeed in overcoming some of the most formidable obstacles that an unjust and oppressive society has ever placed in the way of an individual. His contribution to the cause of Dalits has undoubtedly been the most significant event in 20th century India. Ambedkar was a man whose genius extended over diverse issues of human affairs. Born to Mahar parents, he would have been one of the many untouchables of his times, condemned to a life of suffering and misery, had he not doggedly overcome the oppressive circumstances of his birth to rise to pre-eminence in India‘s public life. The centre of life of Ambedkar was his devotion to the liberation of the backward classes and he struggled to find a satisfactory ideological expression for that liberation. He won the confidence of the- untouchables and became their supreme leader. To mobilise his followers he established organisations such as the Bahishkrit Hitkarni Sabha, Independent Labour Party and later All India Scheduled Caste Federation. He led a number of temple-entry Satyagrahas, organized the untouchables, established many educational institutions and propagated his views through newspapers like the 'Mooknayak', 'Bahishkrit Bharat' and 'Janata'.

  • Faith in Action: Religious Organisations and Development in Kolkata, India
    Thesis submitted for the qualification of PhD in Geography Faith in action: religious organisations and development in Kolkata, India Jennifer Claire Lunn Department of Geography Royal Holloway University of London September 2010 Declaration I hereby declare that this thesis, submitted for the qualification of PhD in Geography at Royal Holloway University of London, is my own original work and has not been submitted elsewhere for any other award. Where other sources of information have been used, they are clearly acknowledged. Signature Date 2 Abstract Religion has returned to the public sphere after a long absence. Ideas of progressive secularisation, dominant for the last century, have been proved wrong by the revival and spread of religion across the world. Accordingly, religion has emerged as a revitalised topic of enquiry in almost every social science discipline. This includes the field of international development, where religion has appeared on the agendas of academics, policy-makers and practitioners. This research is framed within postdevelopment theory, which seeks to identify alternative approaches to development that are culturally specific and locally rooted; this includes incorporating the religious or spiritual dimension into development. One significant aspect of religion and development is the role of religious organisations as development actors. Although religious organisations have always been involved in development, their presence has been sidelined and their contribution undervalued: a better understanding is urgently required. There are major questions being asked about religious organisations in terms of the extent of their contribution to development, the ways in which they differ from secular organisations, their effectiveness, and the nature of their relationships with other development actors.

    Rediscovery Buddhism 5365/220615 HOW BUDDHISM WAS RE-DISCOVERED IN MODERN INDIA 6th Kripasaran Memorial Lecture Bengal Buddhist Association Jawhar Sircar Ananda Bazar Patrika, 22nd June 2015 (English Version) A few days ago, the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh did a bhoomi puja at a site in Guntur district that he called the new city of Amravati, the new capital of Andhra. It is interesting because it was in this area that Col. Colin Mackenzie had stumbled upon some puzzling ruins in 1798, about which he had heard from local villagers. He was in the Guntur-Nellore region, as part of the British campaign against Tipu Sultan of Mysore, and he had thus to move on with his troops for the assault upon Tipu Sultan at Srirangapatnam. But something must have twirled in Mackenzie's mind, because he revisited the area several years later, in 1816: in his new capacity as the Surveyor General of India. For the next four years, he made several illustrations of what he thought were some old ruins of Deccan Jainism and he presented his documents and 85 sketches of Amravati before the Asiatic Society in Kolkata. No one understood then that these findings actually related to another religion that India had almost forgotten, Buddhism. It was soon to come back silently, to haunt India’s historical landscape from which it had disappeared a thousand years ago, as silently. So effectively had Buddhism been “forgotten” that very few people had even a proper idea of what had been it's phenomenal Rediscovery Buddhism 5365/220615 contribution to art and architecture.

INTRODUCTION Institutions can be defined as an establishment on which every organisation is dependent upon. They have certain recognised and established set of rules, traditions and usages. These usages and rules are broadly classified as institutions. These are forms of procedures which are recognised and accepted by society and govern the relations between individuals and groups. According to eminent sociologists Woodward and Maxwell, “An institution is a set of folkways and mores into a unit which serves a number of social functions.” Institutions are a system of behavioural and relationship patterns densely interwoven and enduring, and function across the entire soceity.

  • Roots of Ambedkar Buddhism in Kanpur Maren Bellwinkel-Schempp
    Roots of Ambedkar Buddhism in Kanpur Maren Bellwinkel-Schempp (in: Jondhale, Surendra and Beltz, Johannes: Reconstructing the World: B.R. Ambedkar and Bud- dhism in India. New Delhi, OUP 2004, p. 221-244.) The foundation of Buddhism in Europe and the revival of Buddhism in India took place at approxi- mately the same time. It is well known, that Europeans took an active part in stimulating and en- couraging a renascent Buddhism in India, led by the Orientalist image of India as the cradle of one of the major world religions (King 1999: 147). On the other hand, the knowledge of Buddha as the great founder of an esoteric religion never subsided in Europe and was maintained even through the middle ages, miraculously to resurrect in the writings of Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1869) whose philosophy became quite popular in the 19th century. Schopenhauer set a philosophical trend for a generation of young Germans whose inner quest led a number of them to embrace Buddhism. The resurrection of Buddhism in India at the end of the 19th century through Anagarika Dharmapala was a move to fence off Hinduism and to liberate the Buddhist places in India (Ahir 1991: 17). The foundation of the Mahabodhi Society in 1891 was directly connected with his effort to reclaim Bodh Gaya for Buddhism, a still unfinished task. Although Anagarika Dharmapala was well aware of the downtrodden situation of the Dalit(s) of the time, the Mahabodhi Society mainly attracted upper-caste people (Das 1998: 13). When Dr Ambedkar embraced Buddhism in 1956, his under- standing of dhamma was founded on a radical rejection of Hinduism and the caste system and a [222] critical evaluation of existing Buddhisms (Rodrigues 1993).

Hughes, Past President of B.D.C.(U)Ltd. The range of events constructed by a person's consciousness produce a constructed 'own-being'. If this 'own-being' is fixedly believed, a constricting suffering-inducing effect is produced. Vasubandhu was a great Abhidharmika. Abhidharma is the ancient Buddhist phenomenology of moment-events, and the reduction of psychological processes to such moments. (1) The five aggregates or 'five groups' are really all the changing states which 'make up' an 'individual', and there is no central entity underlying these aggregates. Effective translation of the Pali or Sanskrit words expressing the five groups should include a consideration of the commonly accepted 'Western' notion of a healthy person as an 'active individualist' whose achievements are constantly growing. (2) Effective translation should cover traditional 'Eastern' notions, which emphasize such terminal values, as, for example, Moral Self-restraint, which are not seen as order associated with progress and domination, but rather conservation of stability and inner control. The intrapersonal confusion of 'Eastern' and 'Western' values may result in a conflict of values because there is no superior stance available for sorting out the value conflicts. There are no shortcuts to mental health because cultivation of wisdom is a slow process.
