  • A Criticism of the Development Hypothesis
    A CRITICISM OF THE DEVELOPMENT HYPOTHESIS, As HELD BY CHARLES DARWIN, THOMAS HENRY HUXLEY, ALFRED RUSSEL WALLACE, HERBERT SPENCER, AND THE NEW SCHOOL OF NATURALISTS. (WRITTEN EXPRESSLY FOR "JOHNSON'S NATURAL HISTORY.") By JULIUS H. SEELYE, D. D., LL.D., PRESIDENT OF AMHERST COLLEGE, MASS. FACTS. CHAPTER 1. NO TRANSMUTATION OF SPECIES HAS EVER YET BEEN OBSERVED. THE question of the origin of species and the source of life is not new. It belongs to the oldest speculations of which we have any record. But it is not antiquated. It excites as eager an interest to-day as it did three thousand years ago. Like the magnetized needle, the human mind vibrates, with perpetual oscillations, under the force of this inquiry. The problem which it presents has extreme difficulty. The vision which solves it must be both keen and broad. But the sharp and subtile distinctions which, in order to a satisfactory solution, must be clearly seen, some minds do not see at all, or, at the best, most obscurely, while the comprehensive generalizations, which are also and equally requisite, can be grasped but with difficulty by any mind. He who has thought the most upon the question will have the most knowledge of the liabilities to mistake and error, and will be the least dogmatic in propounding his own opinion, or in criticising that of others. But he is not t.hereby silent, nor without an opinion. While profound meditation upon any theme gives a man humility, it does not render him despondent He gets courage from his very diffi­ culties.

  • 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.

  • Withdrawal from the Monastic Community and Re-Ordination of Former Monastics in the Dharmaguptaka Tradition
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Ghent University Academic Bibliography WITHDRAWAL FROM THE MONASTIC COMMUNITY AND RE-ORDINATION OF FORMER MONASTICS IN THE DHARMAGUPTAKA TRADITION ANN HEIRMAN Centre for Buddhist Studies, Faculty of Arts and Philosophy Ghent University, [email protected] Abstract: At the apex of Buddhist monasticism are its fully ordained members—Buddhist monks (bhikṣu) and nuns (bhikṣuṇī). The texts on monastic discipline (vinayas) indicate that some monks and nuns, at certain points in their lives, may choose to withdraw from the saṃgha (monastic community). The vinaya texts from every tradition attempt to regulate such decisions, as well as the re-ordination of former monastics. In this paper, I focus on the Dharmaguptaka tradition, the vinaya of which has become standard in China and neighboring regions. My intention is to answer intriguing questions raised by Petra Kieffer-Pülz in her study on the re-ordination of nuns in the Theravāda tradition, which appeared in the first volume of this journal (2015–2016): which options are available to monks and nuns who wish to withdraw from the monastic community; and is it possible for them to gain readmission to the saṃgha? I also address a third question: what does this imply for the Dharmaguptaka tradition? My research focuses on the Dharmaguptaka vinaya, and on the commentaries of the most prominent Chinese vinaya master, Daoxuan (596–667 CE), whose work lies at the heart of standard—and contemporary—under- standing of vinayas in China. Keywords: formal and informal withdrawal; re-ordination; Buddhist monks; Buddhist nuns; Dharmaguptaka 159 160 BUDDHISM, LAW & SOCIETY [Vol.

  • Tülün Değirmenci2
    A book is read by how many people? Some observations on readers and reading modes in the Ottoman Empire1 Tülün Değirmenci2 The use of books is among the numerous subjects broached by Christoph Neumann in his stimulating article on writing and reading in the Ottoman Empire, printed in the first issue of Tarih ve Toplum.3 Neumann writes that in the Ottoman world, the primary use of books was, obviously, to be read. However, they were also used as reference books, and as such were not read from start to end, and were also kept as objects of prestige. Neumann states that little more is known about how the Ottomans used their books and that we can only speculate that it was a widespread tradition to read the relatively few manuscripts in circulation aloud. He believes the aim of reading aloud was twofold: to memorize the text, and to enrich and edit the text, which could also be a way of subsequently adding it to a private journal. He then delves into the prefaces of manuscripts to enumerate the reasons why a writer may write. Claiming that the first reason is the author's wish for his work to be widely known, he asks the following question: How can a person living in a manuscript culture expect everyone to know a text? This motive gains meaning when seen as focusing on the text, rather than on the interlocutor and reader. The writer reviews an extant text to bring it to a wider 1 Originally published as “Bir Kitabı Kaç Kişi Okur?

Fifty-three talks were given at the Sheng Yen Lecture Hall (located in the “Zhong Zheng Jing She,” the residence where Master Sheng Yen lived in his final years). The talks were titled “A Living Example, Countless Teachings—Encounters with Master Sheng Yen”, and we invited all his monastic and lay disciples to share with us their stories about Shifu, how he taught them through his living example and words. Listening to these speakers’ personal accounts of the interactions between teacher and student allowed the audience to commemorate Master Sheng Yen’s journey, and once again hear his gracious teachings. The talks include stories of Master Sheng Yen’s everyday life, how he would give detailed guidance to his disciples regarding their speech and actions.

  • Anna Radwan Slavonic Studies in Czechoslovakia and Then in The
    EUROPA ORIENTALIS 33 (2014) BOHUSLAV ILEK AS A THEORETICIAN OF TRANSLATION Anna Radwan Slavonic studies in Czechoslovakia and then in the Czech Republic went through similar changes as in other countries. They started with documenta- tion of Slavonic languages and then emerged into a wide field of academic studies that includes studies of literature, linguistics, culture, history and, last but not least, translation. In Czechoslovakia, studies of translation gained a position as an independent academic field of studies in the middle of 20th century, in the end of the 1950s. A person that had a big impact on the shape of this new field of science was Professor Bohuslav Ilek. Bohuslav Ilek was born on April 9th, 1902, in Rovečné, a village that is now a part of the Vysočina Region. In 1922, after finishing secondary school, he became a student of Slavonic and English Philology at Charles University in Prague. During his studies he was a student of the famous professor Vilém Mathesius, the innovator and first president of the Prague linguistic circle, which led to Ilek’s great knowledge in the field of linguistics and was visible later in his own academic work. In 1926, before even finishing his studies, Ilek gave a third lecture on the history of the Prague linguistic circle (Jazyko- vá kultura podle nových publikací ruských). In 1927, he received his degree and began his job as a teacher of the Russian language at the Business Aca- demy in Olomouc. From 1929, he also taught the Polish language. In 1930, he finished his doctoral thesis Charakteristika spisovné ruštiny although he received his official Ph.D.

  • The Reception and Translation of Classical Chinese Poetry in English
    NCUE Journal of Humanities Vol. 6, pp. 47-64 September, 2012 The Reception and Translation of Classical Chinese Poetry in English Chia-hui Liao∗ Abstract Translation and reception are inseparable. Translation helps disseminate foreign literature in the target system. An evident example is Ezra Pound’s translation based on the 8th-century Chinese poet Li Bo’s “The River-Merchant’s Wife,” which has been anthologised in Anglophone literature. Through a diachronic survey of the translation of classical Chinese poetry in English, the current paper places emphasis on the interaction between the translation and the target socio-cultural context. It attempts to stress that translation occurs in a context—a translated work is not autonomous and isolated from the literary, cultural, social, and political activities of the receiving end. Keywords: poetry translation, context, reception, target system, publishing phenomenon ∗ Adjunct Lecturer, Department of English, National Changhua University of Education.

C". C ,\,,: 41-------<..<.LI-hY,-""lA""""","""I,--ft-'t _ '" I) Abstract Mustafa Sadiq al-Rafii, a modem Egyptian writer with classical style, is not studied by scholars of Arabic literature as are his contemporary liberals, such as Taha Hussein. This thesis provides a historical background and a brief literary survey that helps contextualize al-Rafii, the period, and the area he came from. AI-Rafii played an important role in the two literary and intellectual schools during the Arabic literary revival, which extended from the French expedition (1798-1801) to around the middle of the twentieth century. These two schools, known as the Old and the New, vied to shape the literature and thought of Egypt and other Arab countries. The former, led by al-Rafii, promoted a return to classical Arabic styles and tried to strengthen the Islamic identity of Egypt. The latter called for cutting off Egypt from its Arabic history and rejected the dominance and continuity of classical Arabic language. AI-Rafii contributed to the Revival by supporting a line ofthought that has not been favored by pro-Westernization governments, which made his legacy almost forgotten. Deriving his literature from the canon of Arabic language, culture, and history, al-Rafii produced a literature based on a revived version of classical Arabic literature, an accomplishment which makes him unique among modem Arab writers.
