Das Programm „Studieren ab 50“ leistet zu dieser Aufgabe seit Jahren einen wichtigen Beitrag und ist damit ein fester Bestandteil des wissenschaftlichen Weiterbildungsangebotes der Otto-von-Guericke-Universität Magdeburg. Mit dem Weiterbildungsprogramm „Studieren ab 50“ wendet sich die Universität an Bürgerinnen und Bürger, die ihr Wissen vertiefen, den eigenen Horizont erweitern und sich mit speziellen wissenschaftlichen Fragen beschäftigen wollen, die ihren individuellen Neigungen und Interessen entsprechen. Dafür haben sich drei unterschiedliche Veranstaltungsformate bewährt. - Erstens bieten wir nach dem Motto „Jung und Alt studieren gemeinsam“ die Möglichkeit, an ausgewählten Vorlesungen und Seminaren des Direktstudiums teilzunehmen. - Zweitens werden speziell für Sie Vorträge externer Referentinnen und Referenten aus der Region angeboten, die z.B. Themen der Regionalgeschichte aufgreifen. - Eine dritte Form von Lehrveranstaltungen bestreiten die Studierenden in Projektform selbst (z.B. PC-Club, Schreibwerkstatt, Literatur lesen). Auch für das Sommersemester 2017 können wir allen Interessierten in diesen Formaten wieder eine Reihe von interessanten Veranstaltungen zu verschiedenen wissenschaftlichen Themen anbieten. Wir hoffen, dass das Programmangebot Ihren Erwartungen und Wünschen entspricht und wünschen Ihnen beim Stöbern im vorliegenden Katalog viel Spaß und natürlich viel Erfolg und Freude im Studium. Die Eröffnungsveranstaltung für das Sommersemester findet am 21. März 2017 ab 11:00 Uhr im Gebäude 26, Hörsaal 1 statt.

  • The University of Chicago Practices of Scriptural Economy: Compiling and Copying a Seventh-Century Chinese Buddhist Anthology A
    THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO PRACTICES OF SCRIPTURAL ECONOMY: COMPILING AND COPYING A SEVENTH-CENTURY CHINESE BUDDHIST ANTHOLOGY A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE DIVINITY SCHOOL IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY BY ALEXANDER ONG HSU CHICAGO, ILLINOIS AUGUST 2018 © Copyright by Alexander Ong Hsu, 2018. All rights reserved. Dissertation Abstract: Practices of Scriptural Economy: Compiling and Copying a Seventh-Century Chinese Buddhist Anthology By Alexander Ong Hsu This dissertation reads a seventh-century Chinese Buddhist anthology to examine how medieval Chinese Buddhists practiced reducing and reorganizing their voluminous scriptural tra- dition into more useful formats. The anthology, A Grove of Pearls from the Garden of Dharma (Fayuan zhulin ), was compiled by a scholar-monk named Daoshi (?–683) from hundreds of Buddhist scriptures and other religious writings, listing thousands of quotations un- der a system of one-hundred category-chapters. This dissertation shows how A Grove of Pearls was designed by and for scriptural economy: it facilitated and was facilitated by traditions of categorizing, excerpting, and collecting units of scripture. Anthologies like A Grove of Pearls selectively copied the forms and contents of earlier Buddhist anthologies, catalogs, and other compilations; and, in turn, later Buddhists would selectively copy from it in order to spread the Buddhist dharma. I read anthologies not merely to describe their contents but to show what their compilers and copyists thought they were doing when they made and used them. A Grove of Pearls from the Garden of Dharma has often been read as an example of a Buddhist leishu , or “Chinese encyclopedia.” But the work’s precursors from the sixth cen- tury do not all fit neatly into this genre because they do not all use lei or categories consist- ently, nor do they all have encyclopedic breadth like A Grove of Pearls.

ABSTRACT Conversion by the Book: Buddhist Print Culture in Early Republican China 經典佛化: 民國初期佛教出版文化 Gregory Adam Scott 史瑞戈 In this dissertation I argue that print culture acted as a catalyst for change among Buddhists in modern China. Through examining major publication institutions, publishing projects, and their managers and contributors from the late nineteenth century to the 1920s, I show that the expansion of the scope and variety of printed works, as well as new the social structures surrounding publishing, substantially impacted the activity of Chinese Buddhists. In doing so I hope to contribute to ongoing discussions of the ‘revival’ of Chinese Buddhism in the modern period, and demonstrate that publishing, propelled by new print technologies and new forms of social organization, was a key field of interaction and communication for religious actors during this era, one that helped make possible the introduction and adoption of new forms of religious thought and practice. 本論文的論點是出版文化在近代中國佛教人物之中,扮演了變化觸媒的角色. 通過研究從十 九世紀末到二十世紀二十年代的主要的出版機構, 種類, 及其主辦人物與提供貢獻者, 論文 說明佛教印刷的多元化 以及範圍的大量擴展, 再加上跟出版有關的社會結構, 對中國佛教 人物的活動都發生了顯著的影響. 此研究顯示在被新印刷技術與新形式的社會結構的推進 下的出版事業, 為該時代的宗教人物展開一種新的相互連結與構通的場域, 因而使新的宗教 思想與實踐的引入成為可能. 此論文試圖對現行關於近代中國佛教的所謂'復興'的討論提出 貢獻.

  • Peace in Palestine Via the World Heritage Convention
    . Michael K. Madison II. Peace in Palestine ..........through World Heritage Promoting Peace via Global Conventions - 1 - Peace in Palestine via the World Heritage Convention Promoting Peace via Global Conventions The Global Problem "Throughout history, religious differences have divided men and women from their neighbors and have served as justification for some of humankind's bloodiest conflicts. In the modern world, it has become clear that people of all religions must bridge these differences and work together, to ensure our survival and realize the vision of peace that all faiths share." -- H.R.H. Prince El-Hassan bin Talal, Jordan Moderator, WCRP Governing Board Tolerance, Economic Growth and Fear Global peace and harmony is not possible without religious tolerance. Unfortunately, there is no instant microwavable solution. We can’t just add water and/or milk to the current situation and hope that the world will ameliorate itself overnight. No. The world needs help. The problem is not the outliers; it is larger groups of people that need to change. Outliers will always be present. The world needs religious-minded policymakers to take giant steps that lead to peace, but in a mutually beneficial way. Indeed, peace for peace’s sake is not always enough incentive to all parties involved. Therefore, if the conflict cannot be resolved by tolerance, then let it be resolved by greed as we find a way to help the countries involved to achieve a better economic position. If the conflict cannot be resolved by boosting the corresponding economies, then let it be resolved by fear as we convince the nations involved that one false move means it will be - 2 - their country against the rest of the world and not just their “enemy of the day”.

The Buddha lived and taught in the northeastern Indian subcontinent some time between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE.[2] He is recognized by adherents as an awakened teacher who shared his insights to help sentient beings end suffering (or dukkha), achieve nirvana, and escape what is seen as a cycle of suffering and rebirth. Two major branches of Buddhism are recognized: Theravada ("The School of the Elders") and Mahayana ("The Great Vehicle"). Theravada—the oldest surviving branch—has a widespread following in Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia, and Mahayana is found throughout East Asia and includes the traditions of Pure Land, Zen, Nichiren Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism, Shingon, Tendai and Shinnyo-en. In some classifications Vajrayana, a subcategory of Mahayana, is recognized as a third branch.

  • Exhibition Brochure
    The Chinese Buddhist canon is a living tradition, and nowadays it quickly embraces the digital revolution. New efforts, such as the Chinese Buddhist Electronic Texts Association (CBETA) project in Taiwan and the Tripitaka Koreana project in Korea, have been made to digitize the entire canon and make it searchable and available online in a technically sophisticated way. Meanwhile, the printed editions continue to play their roles in communities as more beautifully packaged facsimiles and reprints of rare editions are produced in mainland China in recent years. These new editions in both digital formats and printed versions meet the demand of readers for research and devotion. It is anticipated that the tradition of the Chinese Buddhist canon will continue to evolve with time and serve as the core of the Buddhist tradition in China and beyond.
