  • BUDDHISM, MEDITATION, and the NEGOTIATION of the PUBLIC SPHERE by Leana Marie Rudolph a Capstone Project Submitted for Graduatio
    BUDDHISM, MEDITATION, AND THE NEGOTIATION OF THE PUBLIC SPHERE By Leana Marie Rudolph A capstone project submitted for Graduation with University Honors May 20, 2021 University Honors University of California, Riverside APPROVED Dr. Matthew King Department of Religious Studies Dr. Richard Cardullo, Howard H Hays Jr. Chair University Honors ABSTRACT This capstone serves to map and gather the oral histories of formerly undocumented Buddhist communities pertaining to their lived experiences in the Inland Empire. The ethnographic fieldwork conducted of 11 sites over the period of 12 months explored the intersection of diaspora, economy, and religious affiliation. This research begins to explore this junction by undertaking a qualitative and quantitative study that will map Buddhist life in the Inland Empire today. It will include interviews, providing oral histories, and will be accessible through a GIS map, helping Religious Studies and Anthropologist scholars to locate these sites and have background information on these locations. The Inland Empire represents many heavily populated, post-agricultural, and manufacturing areas in America today, which since the 1970s and especially since 2008 has suffered from many economic and social crises related to suburban poverty, as well as waves of demographic changes. Taking the Inland Empire as a petri dish for broader trends at the intersection of religion, economy, and the social in the American public sphere today, this capstone project hopes to determine how Buddhism forms at these intersections, what new stories about life in the Inland Empire Buddhist sites and communities help illuminate, and what forms of digital interfacing best brings anthropological analyses to the publics it examines.

Three words came from this root ‘Kri; prakriti’ (basic matter or condition), ‘Sanskriti’ (refined matter or condition) and ‘vikriti’ (modified or decayed matter or condition) when ‘prakriti’ or a raw material is refined it becomes ‘Sanskriti’ and when broken or damaged it becomes ‘vikriti’.

His thesis seminar was a place in which students could freely discuss their papers and give advice to their peers. Moreover, I thank Professor Leach for reminding us that history is as much about the story we are telling as it is about whom we are as individuals. I also thank my second reader, Professor Christopher Brown, whose course "England and the Wider World" inspired me to major in history. He has always been patient and supportive, and I cannot thank him enough for all his advice relating to reading, analyzing, and writing history. 2 Introduction 4 An Eastern Door Opens Chapter I 11 Traders and Travelers on the Ottoman Stage An Appetite for Knowledge Ottoman Dress as a Business Tool Unwritten Customs Moments of Vulnerability, Moments of Pride Chapter II 27 Englishmen in Captivity: How they coped and how they escaped Telling their Tale Seized, Stripped, and Vulnerable The Great Escape Performative Conversion Chapter III 39 Renegades at Sea, on Land, and on the Stage A Place of Intrigue The Seventeenth-Century Imagination Becoming East Conclusion 55 Changing Landscapes Appendix 60 Bibliography 65 3 Introduction An Eastern Door Opens In 1575, six years before Queen Elizabeth I signed the Levant Company charter, English merchants ventured to Constantinople to renew an Eastern trade that had been dormant for nearly twenty years.

A Topological Approach to a Wicked Problem MANFRED SING Leibniz Institute of European History ABSTRACT The revelation of Islam in Arabic, its emergence in the Western Arabian Peninsula, and its acquaintance with Biblical literature seem to be clear indications for Islam’s birthplace and its religious foundations. While the majority of academic scholarship accepts the historicity of the revelation in Mecca and Medina, revisionist scholars have started questioning the location of early Islam with increasing fervour in recent years. Drawing on the isolation of Mecca and the lack of clear references to Mecca in ancient and non-Muslim literature before the mid-eighth century, these scholars have cast doubt on the claim that Mecca was already a trading outpost and a pilgrimage site prior to Islam, questioning the traditional Islamic and Orientalist view. Space, thus, plays a prominent role in the debate on the origins of Islam, although space is almost never conceptually discussed. In the following paper, I challenge the limited understanding of space in revisionist as well as mainstream scholarship.

The Buddha was the first philosopher to speak in the favour of universal brotherhood of man, to reject the theory of caste and he proclaimed that caste and class prejudices are two major obstacles to higher morality and knowledge, and, therefore to salvation.2 Therefore, he initiated the monks to wander in each direction “for the gain of many, for the welfare of the many, for showing forth compassion on the world; for the good, for the gain,
