  • Women As Hungry Ghost Figures and Kitchen God in Selected Amy Tan's
    International Journal of Business and Social Science Vol. 2 No. 15; August 2011 FOOD, FAMILY AND DESIRE:-WOMEN AS HUNGRY GHOST FIGURES AND KITCHEN GOD IN SELECTED AMY TAN’S NOVELS BELINDA MARIE BALRAJ Pusat PengajianUmum Dan Bahasa Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia Kem Sungai Besi, 57000 Kuala Lumpur Malaysia E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT This study focuses Amy Tan’s The Joy Luck Club, and The Kitchen God’s Wife where communication within family members is accompanied by and sometimes enacted through food imagery. This study focuses specifically on hunger through imagery indicative of the Buddhist mythological figure known as the Hungry Ghost. However this study does not comply with the Zen Buddhism typical happy ending that promises ‘balance’ and ‘enlightenment’ but instead their stories coincide with Lacanian insights and describes the Chinese American experience as being more pessimistic, complex and less resolved. As the families in the novels eat and feed each other, they try to strive for balance but never quite reach their destination and are left unsatisfied. This study will then look at how women are depicted as Hungry Ghost through food imagery and dialogue in the selected novels. Keywords: women, representation, hungry ghost 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1THE THEORY OF LACAN One of the most glaring images found in Chinese literature is the representation of food and the role of the Hungry Ghost. According to Comiskey (1995), although the art of storytelling is a universal activity, much of its forms and contents depend on its cultural and historical contexts. Jacques Lacan insights can be applied in this study to further understand the depiction of food in the selected stories.

  • Value in Tiantai Thought
    SIX Value and Anti--value in Tiantai Thought The basic principles of Tiantai philosophy-the Three Truths, the mutual inherence of provisional and ultimate truth, omnicentric holism and inter­ subjectivity-provide important premises for Tiantai value theory, specifically the theory of value paradox. In this chapter, I first develop the value implica­ tions of these concepts and then discuss the texts in which Zhiyi and Zhanran explicitly treat the question of evil (Part I). Then, I consider the value theory in Zhili's version of the Tiantai tradition (Part II). This will prepare us to at­ tempt to apply this theory in a summary way to some concrete questions (in the Conclusion). PART I: GOOD AND EVIL IN ZHIYI AND ZHANRAN Value paradox can be derived from the basic Buddhist value of "non­ attachment." This ultimate value necessarily involves a value paradox since at­ tachment to "non-attachment," as any direct and non-paradoxical assertion of its value would entail, turns out to be an anti-value. The same can be said of attachment to the idea expressed in the previous sentence, and so on ad infi­ nitum. As the following discussion shows, the Tiantai tradition is very faithful to this early Buddhist notion, with non-attachment taking the form of an in­ tricate dialectic for overcoming all subtle forms of bias, a dialectic embodied in the Three Truths. This freedom from bias remains the ultimate value for Tiantai, but several other distinctive Tiantai notions combine to develop and Value and Anti-value in Tiantai Thought 241 intensify the value paradoxes inherent in this ultimate value.

  • 釋智譽 Phra Kiattisak Ponampon (Kittipanyo Bhikkhu)
    MISSION, MEDITATION AND MIRACLES: AN SHIGAO IN CHINESE TRADITION 釋智譽 PHRA KIATTISAK PONAMPON (KITTIPANYO BHIKKHU) THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN RELIGIOUS STUDIES, UNIVERSITY OF OTAGO, DUNEDIN, NEW ZEALAND OCTOBER 2014 ii ABSTRACT An Shigao is well known for the important role he played in the early transmission of Buddhism into China, and Chinese Buddhists have considered him to be a meditation master for centuries. However, recent scholarship on An Shigao (Zürcher, 2007; Forte, 1995; Zacchetti, 2002; Nattier, 2008) has focused on his role as a precursor of the Mahāyāna, his ordination status, and the authenticity of the texts attributed to him rather than the meditation techniques he used and taught to his followers in China. One reason for this is because his biographies are full of supernatural details, and many of the texts attributed to An Shigao are pseudepigraphia. In the first part of this MA thesis, I explore the biographical traditions about An Shigao. The close reading of the oldest biographies of An Shigao shows that during the time he was active in China, An Shigao was respected as a missionary, a meditation master and a miracle worker as well as a translator. This reputation continued to be important for Chinese Buddhists long after his death. Despite his reputation, his biographies contain almost no information about the form of meditation that he practiced and taught. However they contain much information about his supernatural abilities. In the second part of this MA thesis, I make a statistical analysis of all the meditation sūtras attributed to An Shigao and his school.

  • Another Look at Early Chan: Daoxuan, Bodhidharma, and the Three Levels Movement
    T’OUNGT’OUNG PAO PAO T’oung Pao 94 (2008) 49-114 www.brill.nl/tpao Another Look at Early Chan: Daoxuan, Bodhidharma, and the Three Levels Movement Eric Greene University of California, Berkeley Abstract As one of the earliest records pertaining to Bodhidharma, Daoxuan’s Xu gaoseng zhuan is a crucial text in the study of so-called Early Chan. Though it is often thought that Daoxuan was attempting to promote the Bodhidharma lineage, recent studies have sug­­­­gested that he was actually attacking Bodhidharma and his later followers. The present article suggests that such readings are incor ­­rect and that Daoxuan was in fact attacking the followers of the Three Levels (Sanjie) movement founded by Xinxing, whose role in defining the meaning of chan during the seventh century has not been sufficiently appreciated. Résumé Étant un des premiers documents à parler de Bodhidharma, le Xu Gaoseng zhuan de Daoxuan constitue une source cruciale pour l’étude du “Chan primitif”. Même si l’on considère le plus souvent que Daoxuan s’efforçait de promouvoir la lignée de Bodhidharma, plusieurs études récentes suggèrent qu’en fait il attaquait Bodhidharma et ses héritiers. L’auteur suggère que cette interprétation n’est pas correcte: en réalité Daoxuan s’attaquait aux adhérents du mouvement des “Trois niveaux” (Sanjie) fondé par Xinxing, dont la contribution à la définition du sens duchan pendant le viie siècle n’a pas encore été suffisamment appréciée. Keywords Buddhism, Chan, Daoxuan, Xinxing, Sanjie movement © Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden, 2008 DOI: 10.1163/008254308X367022 50 E. Greene / T’oung Pao 94 (2008) 49-114 In the words of Bernard Faure, “Although Bodhidharma’s biography is obscure, his life is relatively well known.”1 Indeed, early records of this monk are so vague, and later hagiography embellishes him so extra­­vagantly, that the best approach seems to be, as Faure ultimately suggests, that we treat Bodhidharma not as an individual but as a textual paradigm.

  • From-Hungry-Ghost-To-Being-Human-(Taking-Sajja-Beyond-Thamkrabok)
    FROM HUNGRY GHOST TO BEING HUMAN: THE JOURNEY OF THE HERO Taking Sajja Beyond Wat Thamkrabok There is life without alcohol and other drugs - a life free from shame, free from blame and free from guilt – a life free from craving, free from aversion and free from confusion. Everyday Nibbana - every day. 2 Introduction The Realm of the Hungry Ghosts – the condition of unsatisfiable craving as experienced by alcoholics and drug addicts - is not a physical place but a mind-state; a state of being in the world. In fact, all of the ‘Realms of Becoming’ (often depicted as the Buddhist Wheel of Life) including the Heaven and Hell Realms and the Realm of Being Human are also mind- states; states of being in the world that we move through from moment to moment, often unconsciously, throughout each and every day. In Buddhism, all situations are temporary, transient and impermanent; even Heaven and Hell mind-states. Therefore, it is possible through our own conscious thoughts, words and actions to move away from the destructive suffering of addiction and compulsions – the living hell of the Hungry Ghost – to live in harmony and balance with the 10,000 sorrows and 10,000 joys of everyday life; embracing the ordinary and the mundane of just being human. The Realm of Being Human is where we cultivate self-discipline, make wise choices and take skilful actions. The Realm of Being Human is the world of opportunity, the world of possibilities, and the world of things as they really are. There are many paths leading away from the Realm of the Hungry Ghosts – the world of addictions and compulsions – to the Realm of Being Human and this little booklet tries to describe just one such path; the path of Sajja1 [pronounced : ‘Sat-cha’].
