  • Joseph Elacqua
    Citragupta: A Case Study in Esoteric Buddhist Appropriation1 Introduction For several decades, the Mahākaruṇā-garbhodbhava-maṇḍala2 大悲胎藏生曼荼攞, an iconographic, visual, and ritual device characteristic of Japanese Shingon 眞言 Buddhism, has been a rich source for academic scholarship on Esoteric Buddhism. First appearing in the Mahāvairocanābhisambodhi-sūtra,3 variants of the Garbhodbhava-maṇḍala are discussed in seven of its chapters as well as in a wealth of supplementary literature.4 For lack of a better term to refer collectively to these texts, I have employed the term “Garbhodbhava cycle.” Several studies relating to the Garbhodbhava-maṇḍala have blazed new trails, constructing a wholly new framework for present maṇḍala scholars. Toganoo Shōun’s 栂尾祥雲 study of maṇḍalas5 provided a crucial framework for the field of maṇḍala studies. Tajima Ryūjun 田嶋隆純 analysed both the Garbhodbhava- 1 I would like to express my deep and profound gratitude to Bernard Faure and Michael Como, each of whom provided invaluable assistance as the seeds of this project first began to sprout. I am also heavily indebted to Rolf Giebel for his unending assistance in the restoration of potential Sanskrit text titles. Sanskrit terms in this paper are romanized according to the IAST system, but with one slight variation. Rather than utilizing the Sanskrit anusvāra using the vague “ṃ” of IAST, I have elected to romanize this sound more strictly. When occurring before a plosive consonant, the anusvāra is romanized as the appropriate class nasal (ex: “saṅgraha” rather than “saṃgraha.” In all other cases—such as occurrence before non-plosives or at the end of any morpheme—the anusvāra is romanized as “ṃ.” 2 The Maṇḍala Arising from the Matrix of Great Compassion.

  • Abhidharmakosa Chapter 3: Loka (World) Overview: Chapters 3-5
    Abhidharmakosa Chapter 3: Loka (World) Overview: Chapters 3-5 move from the exposition of basic principles in Chapters 1 and 2 to the more concrete exposition of the impure dharmas. Chapter 3 is a cosmology describing the world of cyclic suffering. Chapter 4 presents the cause of this world: karma (action) and Chapter 5 examines the underlying condition by which karma can function as the cause of the world: anusaya (defilements). The inclusion of a cosmology represents one of the major innovations Vasubandhu undertakes in relation to Hrdaya Abhidharma texts which include no such exposition. Chapter 3 gives an overview of the world of suffering and rebirth: samsara, described in terms of the 3 realms (dhatu) and the 5 destinies (gati). This description is divided into descriptions of the World of Beings (sattva-loka, K1-9, 75-85, see table below) and the Receptacle World (bhajana-loka, K45-74, see diagrams and table below). This chapter also includes an exposition on the birth, life, death and intermediate existence of beings (the four existences, K10-19, 37-44, see below), and an exposition on Dependent Co-arising (pratitya-samutpada, K20-36, see below). The teaching of 12-fold dependent co- arising particularly explicates how suffering & rebirth are driven by karmic action informed by the defilements (and thus encapsulates the basic logic of how Chapters 3, 4 and 5 work together) and how this happens without the supposition of a soul (atman). Of further interest is the description of the process of the world (temporal cosmology), which follows a previous Abhidharma synthesis of multiple presentations in the sutra literature (K89-102).

  • 44. Correlative Cosmology, Moral Rectitude, and Buddhist Notions of Health
    44. Correlative Cosmology, Moral Rectitude, and Buddhist Notions of Health Se lections from the Sūtra of Trapuṣa and Bhallika ori tavor he Sūtra of Trapuṣa and Bhallika is a fi fth- century apocryphal sūtra in two parts, T traditionally attributed to the northern Chinese monk Tanjing.1 The text is a moral treatise aimed at a lay audience. Its main goal is to explicate and justify two key Bud- dhist practices: the Five Precepts and the communal Purifi cation Ritual. Told in the form of a conversation between the Buddha and his student Trapuṣa, it provides a code of eth- ics for lay prac tition ers and emphasizes the role of the monastic community in provid- ing religious instruction and healthcare ser vices for the community. The fi rst part of the text stresses the need to uphold fi ve injunctions against killing, stealing, sexual mis- conduct, false speech, and the consumption of alcohol. The second part focuses on an imported communal ritual of purifi cation that can be traced back to Vedic religion.2 By the fi fth century, this periodic ritual, which involved religious sermons, confession of sins, and recitation of sacred scripture, was most likely the most impor tant occasion in the lives of both the monastic and the lay communities.3 The popularity of this ritual in China led to the creation of a rival Daoist version, which is still practiced today.4 Much like other apocryphal sūtras (i.e., scriptures composed in China and presented as if they were translated from India), the text displays a high level of hybridity and syn- cretism.5 To provide justifi cation for Buddhist religious praxis, it employs a combina- tion of ideas and terminology imported from India and indigenous Chinese beliefs and practices rooted in Han common religion and the imperial cult, as well as early medi- eval Daoist religion.

  • Buddhist Wheel of Life Text
    Buddhist Wheel of Life Text 1: The Wheel of Life: Samsara, Birth, Rebirth, Liberation The Wheel of Life is one of the most common subjects of Tibetan Buddhist art. The detailed symbolism of the Wheel can be interpreted on many levels. The Bhavachakra is a Tibetan Buddhist representation of the "wheel of life," or cycle of existence. The Wheel of Life (called the Bhavachakra in Sanskrit) represents the cycle of birth and rebirth and existence in samsara. This gallery looks at different parts of the Wheel and explains what they mean. The main sections are the hub and the six "pie wedges" depicting the Six Realms. The gallery also looks at the Buddha figures in the corners and at Yama, the fearsome creature holding the Wheel in his hooves. Many Buddhists understand the Wheel in an allegorical, not literal, way. As you examine the parts of the wheel you might find yourself relating to some of it personally or recognizing people you know as Jealous Gods or Hell Beings or Hungry Ghosts. The outer circle of the Wheel (not shown in detail in this gallery) is the Paticca Samuppada, the Links of Dependent Origination. Traditionally, the outer wheel depicts a blind man or woman (representing ignorance); potters (formation); a monkey (consciousness); two men in a boat (mind and body); a house with six windows (the senses); an embracing couple (contact); an eye pieced by an arrow (sensation); a person drinking (thirst); a man gathering fruit (grasping); a couple making love (becoming); a woman giving birth (birth); and a man carrying a corpse (death).

  • Íakra and the Destruction of Craving–
    Íakra and the Destruction of Craving – A Case Study in the Role of Íakra in Early Buddhism ∗ Anålayo Introduction In the previous issue of the Indian International Journal of Buddhist Studies , I had taken a brief look at Indra’s role in early Buddhism in the context of a discussion mainly concerned with the arahant Bakkula. 1 With the present paper I further explore this role, based on a study of the Saµyukta-ågama counterpart to the C¨¬ataˆhåsa∫khaya-sutta of the Majjhima-nikåya . The discourse in question records a visit paid by Mahåmaudgalyåyana to Indra’s heaven. During this visit, the complacent attitude of the ruler of the gods is stirred by a feat of supernormal power performed by the visiting monk. A closer study of the discourse bring to light its underlying humour and shows how the ancient Indian god Indra has been ‘included’ in the thought-world of early Buddhism in order to deliver a doctrinally central teaching on the importance of the destruction of craving.2 At the background of the role assumed in this way by Indra stands a transformation undergone by the ancient Indian warrior god, the slayer of V®tra, 3 who in early Buddhist texts has become a peaceful and devoted Buddhist disciple by the name of Íakra (Sakka).4 ∗ Centre for Buddhist Studies, University of Hamburg, Germany; Dharma Drum Buddhist College, Taiwan. 1 Anålayo (2010). 2 As already mentioned in Anålayo (2010: 2), the role of Indra in early Buddhist texts can be understood as exemplifying a mode of thought that has been referred to as “inclusivism”, on which cf.

    7 Transgenderism in Japanese Manga as Radical Translation The Journey to the West Goes to Japan Leo Tak-Hung Chan The subversive nature of manga is a fact widely acknowledged. Using "an expressive format that combines stylized and simplistic imagery with a laconic text," it can "lampoon, satirize, romanticize [and] reimagine the world in which people live" ( Allison 1996 : 56-57). But what if the targetof the parody is a text from another culture? A case in point involves the parodic manga versions of the Chinese classic The Journey to the West (Xiyouji; hereafter The Journey), representing a shift from a verbal to a visual medium and from a Chinese to a Japanese context. Not surprisingly, when such manga is translated back into Chinese, readers in China are offended to see their own cherished literary work tampered with, leading in 2007 to a critical attack on Japanese manga versions of a parodic nature ( Lin and Zhang 2008 : 168); official statements were issued concerning the need to curb the translation of such works in order to protect the health of Chinese culture. Much venom was directed not just at manga derived from The Journey, but on Japanese parodies in general. An article in the national newspaper Huanqiu shibao was subtitled "Why Does Japan Parodythe Classics of Other Countries?" Among the commentators (e.g., Zhu 2007 ; Lin and Zhang 2008 ), the point was stressed that a culture of egao, or 'malicious meddling,' originated in a Japanese concept that had spread to Mainland China via Taiwan and Hong Kong. There were also strongly
