The University of Hong Kong Museum Society Art and Architecture in Seoul, Korea with Corrin Chan and Kathy Park 16 to 22 October, 2010 The University of Hong Kong Museum Society Art and Architecture in Seoul, Korea with Corrin Chan and Kathy Park 16 to 22 October, 2010 Overview of Trip Art & Architecture in Seoul We will visit contemporary architectural designs in Seoul proper, guided by contemporary Korean architect Choi Wook. Focusing on elements that reflect both the essence of Korea's past as well as modern influences and transformation, the first part of the trip will take us on a walking tour through areas north of the Han River. The old city of Seoul rests on the north, with residential districts surrounding the main palaces which are at the heart of the city's original structured fortress, now long gone. We will visit the areas surrounding Kyongbok Palace such as Samcheongdong and Insadong where the old city's residential districts still retain their original shape and forms in alleys and traditional houses, many retrofitted with modern functions and aesthetics, including some of the works of Choi Wook and other contemporary architects. We will also visit the newly established Korean Furniture Museum, which has the most extensive traditional Korean furniture collection exhibited in a traditional structure built over 15 years, with much of its timber and materials collected from redundant houses. We will also visit Kilsangsa temple, a city Buddhist temple which has a modern organic Zen room built by a Zen monk. South of the river is a newly developed part of the city with sprawling real estate developments in apartment housing and commercial buildings that have created a boom in Seoul's real estate market since the 80's. Contemporary architecture and interiors continue to be invented as districts such as Dosan Park and Apkujungdong evolve under commercial demands. We will visit the unique Hermes House, the first art and boutique center in the world established by the Paris-based House of Hermes, where contemporary Korean artists and designers are showcased along with Hermes' signature collections. Horim Art Museum exhibits a range of artists both contemporary and otherwise in a new, modern structure. The last decade has brought about a giant leap in the contemporary art scene in Korea, not only with its crop of new contemporary native artists but also as its market emerged onto the world stage of art sales and auctions in volume and scope. Korea's art market is thriving on the sales of native artists as well as the famed pieces of contemporary world-renown artists. We will visit the Leeum Museum which has an extensive collection of traditional Korean art masterpieces as well as modern Korean and international art collection in a structure designed in 3 parts by Rem Koolhaas, Jean Nouvel and Mario Botta. We will also have a walking tour of some of the most prominent contemporary art galleries in Seoul such as Seomi and Tuus, Hyundai Gallery, Gana Arts and Kukje Gallery. Magoksa Temple and Gongju City As a respite from the excitement of the modern city of Seoul, we will take an overnight trip to the ancient and peaceful Buddhist temple, Magoksa in Chungchungnamdo Province. First established in the 7th century, this ancient temple is situated in Taehwasan Mountain, and has survived intact over centuries. As one of the head temples of the Chogye Order of Korean Buddhism, Magoksa recently built its modern Buddhist Cultural Center where temple stay and Buddhist education programs are held. We will take a walk along the natural surroundings and also be introduced to Korean Zen, and Buddhist influences on overall Korean aesthetics. On the second day, a visit to Gongju City, the ancient capital of Baekje, will reveal some of the finest Baekje artifacts, reflecting its glorious cultural heritage of its time and its influence on modern Korean design and crafts. Heyri Art Village & Paju Book City A decade ago, the art and architecture community in Korea created a special place called Heyri Art Village outside of Seoul, where innovative and forward-thinking architects, artists and city planners merged to create an ideal community of creative residents to inhabit an area near the 38th parallel, to bring substance and symbolism to an area long neglected, reviving the beauty of its natural surroundings and experimenting with unlimited creativity in structural designs. We will spend a day walking through Heyri's artist community equipped with galleries, studios, a library and residential structures creatively designed and invented. We will also visit Paju Book City, an ambitiously planned and established city of cutting edge contemporary architecture housing some of the major publishing houses in Korea.

  • Pilgrimage Tour in Nepal
    Pilgrimage Tour in Nepal Buddhist Pilgrimage Tour in Nepal with Nepal Environmental Buddhist For Buddhist tourists around the world, a pilgrimage to a holy Buddhist destination is perhaps, the one that gives the most satisfaction. It is a journey that brings them closer to their religion by enhancing their appreciation for its principles, beliefs and philosophies. Nepal is home to two of the most holy of places connected with Buddhism. These places are directly related with Lord Gautam Buddha. Lumbini, the first and most important of the two, is the birth place of Gautam Buddha while Kapilavastu is the place where he grew up, witnessed pain and sorrow of life and ultimately decided to give up everything in search of enlightenment. Hindu From ancient times, Nepal has been the place of origin for the Hindu religion and the holy place of Lord Pashupatinath. For centuries, mythology and mystique has swept the land and there are numerous temples, mosques and monasteries. Hindu pilgrimage tours or 'Tirtha Yatras' are considered an important way of attaining salvation. However, people of all faiths and religions have dreams of visiting these revered spots as a pilgrim to invoke the blessings of their Gods and obtain forgiveness for all their sins and escape the divine wrath. Hindu pilgrimage tour in Nepal Nepal is not only known for its natural beauty but also as a cultural melting pot where two of the oldest religions of the world co-exist in perfect harmony- Hinduism and Buddhism. Dating back thousands of years, some of the oldest religious sites in Nepal are revered as the holiest places for salvation by Hindus and Buddhists.

  • The New Business of Buddhism Yuko Nakamura
    THE NEW BUSINESS OF BUDDHISM YUKO NAKAMURA TOKYO CITY UNIVERSITY This paper examines the recent phenomenon of Japanese Buddhist organizations engaging in economic ventures such as restaurant businesses. Although most people in Japan still practice some religious activities, their level of engagement has declined, and Japan’s population is shrinking As a result, traditional Buddhist temples face an existential crisis. This article shows how this crisis has forced those institutions to turn to new economic strategies. While these businesses have been fairly unsuccessful economically, they have helped the organizations invent new ways to engage with people, exposing them to the principles of Buddhism and nurturing a new generation of patrons. Keywords : religion, Buddhism, Buddhist restaurants, Otera Café, Japan Introduction Buddhism in Japan is in a state of flux, and it has been so for some time. The evidence is easily findable online: you can do a “Buddhist temple stay”, experience a “dating event at a Buddhist temple”, practice “yoga at a Buddhist temple”, and so on. These are all new business ventures that temples have established alongside their traditional religious and ceremonial activities. Why are they doing this? Because unless they do, they may cease to exist, as demographic and cultural forces line up against them. This article will focus on a new type of restaurant business that some Buddhist temples have lately started, describing them as a typical instance of the ways these organizations attempt to break out of a cycle driven by evolving religious practices and a declining population. This study first sketches the background of this phenomenon in the context of Buddhism’s history in Japan, and provides some current data based on observational 68 The New Business of Buddhism research in four Buddhist-owned cafés and bars in several locations.

According to David Harvey's theory that in the postmodern era, time and space are highly compressed by advanced technologies. Under this situation, the temple stay program has already become a popular ac- tivity in contemporary Chinese society. It tries to solve the problems of time and space compression, and at the same time, it also reveals the unsolvable problems. In fact, just as the tendency of time and space compression and the development of globalization have many contradictions, short-term monastic life reveals similar contradictions. From the case study of Bailin Temple, short-term monastic life as a brand of Chinese Buddhism can be understood as an accommodation to current trends.

We identify four domains of motivational variables including learning, self- growth, being with nature, and relaxation. Based on data from 299 international participants in Templestay, empirical tests of the hypotheses revealed that motivational domains such as self-growth, nature, and learning exhibited significant differences based on the various socio-demographic backgrounds of international participants.

  • The Soft Power of India Buddhism for the Sustainable Development in North East Asia
    E3S Web of Conferences 258, 05003 (2021) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202125805003 UESF-2021 The soft power of India Buddhism for the sustainable development in north East Asia Thanh Hang Pham1,* and Ekaterina Nikolaeva2 1Institute of Religion and Belief, Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics, 135, Nguyen Phong Sac Str., 10000, Nghia Tan Ward, Cau Giay District, Hanoi City, Vietnam 2Chelyabinsk State University, 129, Br.Kashirinykh str., 454001, Chelyabinsk, Russia Abstract. In the context globalization today, peaceful cooperation, mutual substainable development, avoiding conflict and confrontation is becoming the main trend in foreign policy of several countries and regions. Therefore, the use of cultural strength as a source of soft power to enhance the national image, power and position is particularly focused in international relations in the 21st century. Buddhism is a major religion, which has a deep influence and popularity all over the world. Originating from India, Buddhism has spread to Eastern and Western cultures, it contributes to enriching the soft power of India. The development of Buddhism creates a cultural link between India and the world, helping to expand the influence of India by the power of culture and religious faith. Through Buddhism, people know and admire India as an ancient culture of the East. The article analyzes the widespread pervasiveness of Indian Buddhism as a source of Indian soft power in three countries in Northeast Asia - Japan, South Korea, and China as a concrete example for this. 1 Introduction Buddhism originated in India but it has the ability to create its own place and vitality in different cultures.
