In Japanese Zen Buddhism Y 3
Joel W. Krueger Danihish Natilional Research Foundidation: Center for Subjectivity Research jlk@[email protected] y 1. Motivation and Introduction y 2. What is bodily “cu ltiv ation”? Buddhism and the Body “Cultivation” within Japanese Zen Buddhism y 3. What happens to the “cultivated” contemplative body? Phenomenological and biological transformations y Investigation of the post‐contemplative body from the perspective of Japanese Zen Buddhism Japanese Zen emphasizes the soteriological primacy of agency and the situated body (e.g. Dōgen (1200‐1253): “The Way is surely attained with the body”) Zen insists that kensho and satori peak‐experiences are, in themselves, “nothing special”. Rather, the post‐contemplative, embodied transformations that sustain our “everydayness” are what matter. y Guiding Question: How is our bodily subjectivity purportedly transformed through “contemplative cultivation” (Jap: shugyō)? y Philosop hica l Sign ificance: theoreti cal iihtinsights itinto the nature of body and self (e.g. narrative vs. minimal accounts of self) y Scientific Significance: testable claims about the neurobiological basis of consciousness and bodily self‐ awareness (e. g. correlation between reported phenomenal states and their neural correlates (Lutz, Dunne, & Richardson 2007)) y Normative Significance: programs for enhancing our self‐ understanding and interpersonal sensitivity (e. g. moral phenomenology and moral perception (Horgan & Timmons 2005, therapeutic and health value) y 212.1 Buddhism and the body Coarse‐grained: Four -

SUMMER 2014 He Power of Group Practice Is Not Superstition; It Comes from “Tthe Collective Energy of Meditating with Others for a Common Goal
SUMMER 2014 he power of group practice is not superstition; it comes from “Tthe collective energy of meditating with others for a common goal. We should trust in this power. When everyone’s mind consistently points in the same direction, this creates resonance. Although we cannot hear this resonance, it is indeed mutually supported by an invisible force. The saying that two heads are better than one is also true for meditation practice. Practicing alone yields the brightness of a single lamp; bring two or three lamps together, or even more, and it gets even brighter. Similarly, in sitting meditation a single mind, like a single lamp, may not be very bright, but when five or ten people with strong minds gather, the brightness is much enhanced. Those of weaker mind as well as the stronger ones will all gain mutual benefit. In this manner the power of group practice can be very strong. People often meditate together in this house we are in, so coming in here, one feels very calm. I have visited the Chan halls of ancient monasteries in China, some from the Song and Ming Dynasties, and some of them were ruined and rebuilt many times. Entering these Chan halls, one feels a powerful energy and deep calmness. The Chan hall at Ningbo Tian Tong Monastery is not very large, but many people were enlightened there. Although these people have long passed away and the temple has been rebuilt after many collapses, inside I sensed the power of the people who once practiced there. In the Chan hall of Jiangtian Monastery in Jingshan, in Jiangsu Province, eighteen people became enlightened in one night. -

Characterizations of Feminism in Reformed Christian Online Media Introduction It Will Come As No Surprise to Most People That Fe
Hobbs, V. (2015). Characterizations of Feminism in Reformed Christian Online Media. Journal of Media and Religion , 14 (4), 211-229. Characterizations of Feminism in Reformed Christian Online Media The term “culture war” is often used to describe the relationship between evangelical Christianity and movements like feminism. Given the increasing dependence of religious groups on online media, analysis of the discourse therein offers an effective means of examining patterns within Christian discourse about feminism. The current study examines a corpus of 147 articles from a popular online North American Reformed Christian news site, focusing on what feminism is most frequently associated with and counterexamples to these characterizations. Feminism was consistently connected with false theology, breakdown of marriage/traditional gender roles, promiscuity and nontraditional sexuality, abortion, anti-Christian cultural change, and liberal politics. However, a minority of dissenting voices suggests that some are allowed to express cautious support of feminism. Introduction It will come as no surprise to most people that feminism and Christianity are not fast friends. A study of evangelical attitudes towards feminism by Gallagher (2004a) found that two thirds of American evangelicals consider feminism ‘hostile to Christian values’ (p. 229). Feminism has been blamed by evangelicals in North America for the declining value of the traditional family (Kassian, 2005), the rise of women in unbiblical positions of leadership (Creegan and Pohl, 2005), legalization of abortion (Steuter, 1992), theological liberalism (Grudem, 2006) and the rise of the divorce rate (Adams & Coltrane, 2007). The term ‘culture war’ is often used in conjunction with what is perceived as a battle between evangelical Christianity and movements such as feminism which, according to many, undermine Christian ideology (Ingersoll, 2003). -

The authorpresents variousarguments in supportof and againsthate crime laws, and the inclusion of sexual orientationin such laws. The author contends that it is illogical and a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment to exclude sexual orientationfrom hate crime laws. The perpetratorsof hate crime incidents, regardess of the target group, have similar motives and perpetratesimilar types of assaults; the victims experience similarphysical and psychological harm. Excluding a class of persons who are targets of hate crimes denies them equal protection under the law because the Equal ProtectionClause of the FourteenthAmendment establishes a fundamental right to equal benefit of laws protecting personal security.

Rethinking the Binary
Oppressor and Oppressed: Rethinking the Binary Jasbir Puar Discusses Domestic Violence Narika was founded in Berkeley in 1991 to aid South Asian battered women. Jasbir Puar was a board member from 1995 to 1998, as well as a volunteer and consultant on the Youth Outreach Project through June 1999. She spoke to Munia in March 1998 about addressing questions of same-sex domestic violence in South Asian communities through Narika. M: Tell me about Narika’s same-sex initiatives and how you got to that place. J: Several years ago we tried to put together a support group for South Asian women. We had long discussions about language: in the end we said it was for lesbians, bisexuals, questioning f2m transgendered persons and women who love women. We didn’t get any calls during the time the advertisement ran. My goal was to basically have this space that Trikone didn’t seem to be really addressing. My sense of why the group didn’t come together is that the kinds of communities we live in need different kinds of outreach. We started, for example, doing outreach at Bhangra gigs and at straight, queer, and mixed events. HIV/AIDS organizations generally do this kind of outreach, but not queer domestic violence organizations, whereas South Asian domestic violence organizations might focus on tabling at cultural events. So we kind of hybridized the approaches and it was very successful. M: What other kinds of outreach are needed? J: I t ’s precisely because this kind of support group does ghettoize the issue that it feels manageable. -
