  • An Analysis of the Vānarinda Jātaka
    THE PROMISE OF INTERPRETATION: AN ANALYSIS OF THE VĀNARINDA JĀTAKA by VISHMA KUNU (Under the Direction of Glenn Wallis) ABSTRACT My contention is that the Vānarinda Jātaka (VJ) is a specifically Buddhist narrative, being a strategic reworking of situations and characters common to Indian oral tradition. By way of a fluid, triple-layered construct that is experimental in nature, I support this claim by exploring the interpretive possibilities of the text. Chapter one functions as a philological groundwork, and is a translation of the Pāli text that highlights terminology with distinctive resonances in the Buddhist tradition. The second chapter reveals the ways in which the VJ is marked by generality, drawing out pan-Indian elements through an examination against excerpts from the Pañcatantra, considered nīti literature, and the Sundarakāa in Vālmīki’s Rāmāyaa, a Hindu work, all having pre-literate roots. In the third chapter, I offer a creative explication of the VJ, bringing to light the abundance of Buddhist allusions, and doctrinal references embedded within the narrative.

  • Jataka Tales: Layers of Meaning from the Universal to the Personal
    Jataka Tales: Layers of Meaning from the Universal to the Personal Grade Level or Course Type: English, Social Studies, adaptable for grades 6 through 10 Overview of the Lesson Jataka Tales: Birth Stories of the Buddha are among the world’s oldest collection of stories. Many, about endearing animals who misbehave – and then learn to behave better – are appealing to children throughout the world. In this lesson students compare an Aesop’s fable to a Jataka Tale to see what they share in common. Students then learn about the Buddhist context of the tales, through which they deepen their appreciation of what makes a Jataka Tale unique. Finally, students approach a Jataka Tale through the meaning it held in the life of Noor Inayat Khan (1914-1944), whose classic collection Twenty Jataka Tales is still in print. She was a Muslim who worked as a covert agent for the British in Occupied France. She died at Dachau in 1944. In all three activities, students gain insight into what makes stories important in our lives. Learning Outcomes: • Identify stories by genre as fable, parable, folktale and fairy tale. • Decipher the moral of a story. • Understand Buddhist concepts (Ten Perfections, cycle of death and rebirth) • Learn about the life and appreciate the artistry of Noor Inayat Khan. Materials Needed • This lesson and the handouts included with it. They include: Handout 1. Life of Noor Inayat Khan with photos and scrapbook activity Handout 2. The Monkey and the Dolphin credited to Aesop and genre definitions Handout 3. The Patient Buffalo, a Jataka Tale Handout 4.

  • Ecosophy Through Jātaka Tales
    Language & Ecology | 2021 http://ecolinguistics-association.org/journal I nternational Ecolinguistics Association Article Ecosophy through Jātaka tales Monalisa Bhattacherjee Indian Institute of Technology Patna, India E-mail: [email protected] Sweta Sinha Indian Institute of Technology Patna, India E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Society is filled with different kinds of stories for validating its cultural ideologies and beliefs. These stories (fables, myths, proverbs, legends, etc.) pass on from ages and form schemata for the community members. As the stories have great power in framing the community’s conceptual frameworks, they can also change human cognition related to the natural world. This article provides an ecosophy in tune with the Buddhism sūtras following ahimsā or nonviolence, reincarnation, and value and compassion towards nonhuman animals. Through this paper, the Jātaka tales are presented as a beneficial discourse for creating ecological awareness among people. The book Buddha Stories by Demi has been given an ecocritical reading and linguistic analysis of the narratives exploring the animals in Jātaka stories as manifestations of life deserving respect and empathy. The paper presents Jātaka tales as the exploratory study of a new paradigm in analysing the text and to encourage a discourse that overcomes the perception of commodifying nature as human possession and its mere utility to humans. None of the academic research has introduced Jātaka stories in the light of the “eco-” disciplines, as constructive discourses for people to live by and utilising them to conceptualise the nonhuman animals as sentient beings. Thus, the aim is forming a beneficial discourse to resist the hegemonic discourses that harm ecology and presenting a positive outlook for future generations to pursue a sustainable livelihood.

"This is a drinking festival," Visakha replied. "I do not drink." "All right," the women said, "go ahead and make an offering to the Buddha. We will enjoy the festival." The next morning, Visakha served the Buddha and the Order of bhikkhus at her house and made great offerings of the four requisites.1 That afternoon she proceeded to Jetavana to offer incense and beautiful flowers to the Buddha and to hear the teaching. Although the other women were already quite drunk, they accompanied her. Even at the gate of the monastery itself, they continued drinking. When Visakha entered the hall, she bowed reverently to the Buddha and sat respectfully on one side.
