DIVERSITY IN THE WOMEN OF THE THERĪGĀTHĀ i Diversity in the Women of the Therīgāthā Kyung Peggy Kim Meill Lesley University May 2020 Dr. Melissa Jean and Dr. Andrew Olendzki DIVERSITY IN THE WOMEN OF THE THERĪGĀTHĀ ii Abstract A literary work provides a window into the world of a writer, revealing her most intimate and forthright perspectives, beliefs, and emotions – this within a scope of a certain time and place that shapes the milieu of her life. The Therīgāthā, an anthology of 73 poems found in the Pali canon, is an example of such an asseveration, composed by theris (women elders of wisdom or senior disciples), some of the first Buddhist nuns who lived in the time of the Buddha 2500 years ago. The gathas (songs or poems) impart significant details concerning early Buddhism and some of its integral elements of mental and spiritual development.

  • History of Dev ( Deo/Chaudhary )
    History of Dev ( Deo/Chaudhary ) .... Before Nepal's emergence as a nation in the later half of the 18th century, the designation 'Nepal' was largely applied only to the Kathmandu Valley and its surroundings. Thus, up to the unification of the country, Nepal's recorded history is largely that of the Kathmandu Valley. References to Nepal in the Mahabharata epic, in Puranas and in Buddhist and Jaina scriptures establish the country's antiquity as an independent political and territorial entity. The oldest Vamshavali or chronicle, the Gopalarajavamsavali, was copied from older manuscripts during the late 14th century, is a fairly reliable basis for Nepal's ancient history. The Vamshavalis mention the rule of several dynasties the Gopalas, the Abhiras and the Kiratas—over a stretch of millennia. However, no historical evidence exists for the rule of these legendary dynasties. The documented history of Nepal begins with the Changu Narayan temple inscription of King Manadeva I (c. 464–505 AD) of the Licchavi dynasty. During the time of Gautama Buddha, the kings of the Lichchhavi dynasty were ruling over Baisali (Muzaffarpur, in modern Bihar in India). Baisali had a partly democratic form of government. According to the later inscription by King Jaya Dev II, Supushpa was the founder of the dynasty, but he was defeated by Ajatashatru, the powerful Magadha king, in the fifth century BC. When the kings of the Kushan empire became powerful in India, the Lichchhavis migrated to Nepal. The twenty-fourth descendant of King Supushpa, Jaya Dev II, re-established the rule of the Lichchhavis in Nepal.

This work may be republished, reformatted, reprinted and redistributed in any medium. However, any such republication and redistribution is to be made available to the public on a free and unrestricted basis, and translations and other derivative works are to be clearly marked as such. 2 An Old Debate on Self ne of the famous discussions mentioned in our books took place between the O Buddha and Saccaka Niganthaputta, in the city of Vesāli, the capital of the Licchavi Republic, which formed a part of the Vajjian Confederacy in ancient India. Today Vesāli is represented by the ruins of Raja Biaal Ka Garb at Basarh and Bakhira in the Muzaffapur District of North Bihār, about twenty-seven miles northwest of Patna. In the 7th century of this era Yuan Chwang, the great Chinese monk and traveller, describes it as being 5000 li (a li is a third of an English mile) in circuit, that is to say, as a place of about ten or twelve square miles, and as a very fertile region abounding in mangoes, bananas, and other fruits. The foundations of the old city were 60 or 70 li in circuit and the walled part of it 4 or 5 li in circuit. At the time of the Chinese monk’s visit to the city there were only a few bhikkhus there and of the hundreds of Buddhist monasteries that had been established in earlier times only three or four were not deserted or dilapidated.

  • Historical Analysis of Bauddha Stupa, Kassap Buddha and Shringa Rishi by Dhakal, Devraj
    Historical Analysis of Bauddha Stupa, Kassap Buddha and Shringa Rishi By Dhakal, Devraj Mr. Dhakal is PhD Scholar from Lumbini Boudha University. Contact at devraj.dhakal1960@ gmail.com Abstract The historical Analysis of Baudha Stupa and Kassap Buddha is the study of the history of Baudha stupa of Baudha Kathmandu Nepal. The main objective of the study is to analyze the historical importance of Boudhanath Stupa and Kasyap Buddha. Comparative Historical Analysis (CHA) method has been applied to analyze the collected facts and information. The story of Nalanika (Nalanika Jatak Katha) claims that Shringa (Having a horn in head) sage was the grandson of Kassap and son of Vibhandak sages was born in Mahalaxmi municipality, Lankuri Bhanjyang Shringa Rishi Ashram. Therefore, Kassap Buddha had visited and settled few times in the municipality. Thus Baudha Stupa – made by relics of Kassap Budha- Baudha Kathmandu has clear relation with Shringa Rishi Ashram of Lalitpur. Keywords: Baudhanath, Kassap Buddha, Shringa Rishi Background Rishya Shringa the Grandson of Kassap Buddha and son of sage Bibhandak was also a famous sage Bodhisattaw of the time. At this time penance of sage Shringa, Sakka -king of heaven was frightened and to break penance of the sage he had sent a nymph(Urbashi) or princess of the kingdom, in Shringa Rishi’s Ashram. The nymph/ princess was called as Nalanika. She had very long discussion with Risya Sringa about love, relation and importance of family. The discussion is called Nalanika Jatak in Buddhist philosophy. But Shringa Rishi was very strong in his values and ideologies. She was not able to break his penance so in Buddha’s age, she became Yasodhara –Spouse of Lord Buddha.

Bihar is located in the eastern part of India. It is bounded by Nepal in the north, and is surrounded by the states of Uttar Pradesh to the west, Jharkhand to the south and West Bengal to the east. Bihar is watered mainly by the River Ganga but also the Saryu, Gandak and Sone. Part of the flat Ganges riverine plain, it is mainly an agricultural state. There's little by way of industry, service sector or infrastructure. The name Bihar is derived from Vihara meaning monastery and for visitors today Bihar is important as the land where Lord Buddha (6-5th century BC), the founder of Buddhism, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaishali_%28ancient_city%29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Bihar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bihar Bihar today is one of the “BIMARU “ states with low GDP, and low development indicators.1However, ancient Bihar, known as Magadha, was the center of power, learning, and culture in India for 1000 years. India's "first empire", the Maurya empire as well as one of the world's greatest pacifist religion, Buddhism arose from the region that now makes modern Bihar.[1]Magadha empires, notably under the Maurya and Gupta dynasties, unified large parts of South Asia under a central rule.[2] Its capital Patna, earlier known as Pataliputra, was an important political, military, and economic centre of Indian civilisation during the ancient and classical periods of history.

GOOMARASWAMY Keeper of Indian, Persian, and Muhammadan Art Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (Publication 2926) CITY OF WASHINGTON PUBLISHED BY THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION MAY 8, 1928 ZU Boxi) (^afttmore (preee BALTIMORE, MD., C. S. A. YAKSAS By ANANDA K. COOMARASWAMY (With Twenty-three Pi.ates) I. INTRODUCTION In centuries preceding the Christian era, when the fusion of races in India had already far advanced, the religion of India passed through its greatest crises and underwent the most profound changes. Vedic ritual, indeed, has survived in part up to the present day ; but the religious outlook of medieval and modern India is so profoundly different from that of the Vedic period, as known to us from the extant literature, that we cannot apply to both a common designation ; medieval and modern Hinduism is one thing, Vedic Brahmanism another. The change is twofold, at once inward and spiritual, and outward and formal. No doubt we are sufificiently aware of the spiritual revolution indi- cated in the Upanisads and Buddhism, whereby the emphasis was shifted from the outer world to the inner life, salvation became the highest goal, and knowledge the means of attainment. But while this philosophic development and spiritual coming of age have gradually perfumed (to use a characteristically Indian phrase) the whole of Indian civilization, there are here a background and ultimate signifi- cance given to the social order, rather than the means of its actual integration ; the philosophy of the Upanisads, the psychology of Buddhism, indeed, were originally means only for those who had left behind them the life of a householder, and thus in their immediate application anti-social.

  • Preface If “Peace” Is Required by All Societies of the Present World for The
    1 Preface If “Peace” is required by all societies of the present world for the sake of better life, one useful means of principle and practice to perform “good governance” for a democratic society is introduced herewith. As long as we crave and yearn for the real “Democracy” which is believed the best governance system for all societies, some studied references in this article is proposed. The content and concept are inspired from my studying Buddhism. As a lay follower, not being the expert in Buddhism study, but as a one who is trying to improve quality of one’s own life, my determination is just delivering this article to be shared. Democracy and Buddhism Professor Dr. Kanchana Ngourungsi1 Abstract This paper aims to report on the results of Thailand 45 volumes of Tipitaka study. The objectives of the paper are in two folds: one is to study the government systems existed during the Buddha’s Era; another is to study the democracy described in the Buddhism texts. Concerning the government during the Buddha’s era, two types of government had been mentioned: one is the absolute monarchy with one supremacy originated from the King, another one was the oligarchy with the supremacy originated from the group of monarchs by having the attendants of various ranks taking command and functioning according to the group of monarchs’ orders. On studying the government in Buddhism, originated from the Buddha, the word ‘democracy’ did not exist but the government was called ‘Sangha’ (company). This has been considered as the monk government form. However the essence of government in terms of doctrine has been focused more than on the form.
