    The Saddharmapurdarikaas the Prediction

    The JapaneseAssociationJapanese Association of Indian and Buddhist Studies Journal oflndian and Buddhist Studies Vol. 64, No. 3, March 2016 (113) The Saddharmapurdarika as the Prediction ofAll the Sentient Beings' Attaining Buddhahood: With Special Focus on the Sadaparibhata-parivarta SuzuKi Takayasu 1. The Aim ofThis Paper While the Saddharmapu4darika (Lotus SUtra, SP) repeatedly teaches that any person who speaks against the SP or against those who keep, read, preach, or explain the SP must experience severe retribution, it also teaches that those who keep, read, preach, or explain the SP shall attain a perfection of the six sense organs, i.e., eye, ear, nose, tongue, bodM and mind. These understandings have been considered the basis of the i] fo11owing teaching in Chapter lg ofthe SP (Sada'paribhUta-parivarta, SP 19): ' There once existed a Bodhisattva named SadaparibhUta. He did not read or preach any Buddhist scripture at all, but only continued to give prediction of attaining buddhahood to all the Buddhists who held the mistaken idea that they had already attainedenlightenment. ' Because ofhis prediction he was abused by them. ' They went to hell on the grounds of having abused him. The now arises: question ' Why did they have to experience such severe retribution for abusing Sada- paribhUta who did not read or preach the SP. To this question the fbllowing interpretation has been general: ' The SP is the prediction of all the sentient beings' attaining buddhahood. Through giving of this prediction to the Buddhists SadaparibhUta had essentially read and preached the SP. It is true that Chapter lo of the 5P predicts that all the sentient beings can attain buddhahood.

    Anthony E. Santelli II

    Journal of Markets & Morality Volume 14, Number 2 (Fall 2011): 541–549 Copyright © 2011 Anthony E. Santelli II “Nine Libertarian Heresies”— A Surresponse Anthony E. Santelli II Finn says that my arguments fail to erect a position that is both Catholic and libertarian. I disagree and will expound on them here further, showing how jus- tice for all is possible within such an order. In addition, I will show that Finn’s belief in the redistribution of income is contrary to Catholic social thought. It is he who fails to erect a position that is both Catholic and liberal. Finn is misguided in focusing on a “one-time grand redistribution of wealth after which no further redistributions would be allowed” (a proposal I describe briefly in a footnote) as being an essential part of my position. The core of my thesis is the Christian methodology of doing political economy that I explained. This methodology says that any law, tax, right, rule, regulation, or cultural imperative that provides an incentive to act contrary to the nature of God or a disincentive to act in accord with the nature of God is, by its nature, contrary to God’s Order (capital O) and, as such, can be judged to be wrong and, hence, should be changed or abolished. God is all Good, Beauty, Truth, and One. Therefore any tax on or regulation of goodness, beauty, truth, or unity inhibits or provides a disincentive against humans acting like God and so cannot be a part of a just social order. I take the position that this is the only valid methodology by which a Christian can do political economy, that is, by which a Christian can seek to develop a just social order.
  • The Social Doctrine of the Church Today

    The Social Doctrine of the Church Today

    “Instaurare omnia in Christo” The Social Doctrine of the Church Today Christ, the King of the Economy Archbishop Lefebvre and Money Interview With Traditional Catholic Businessmen July - August 2016 It is not surprising that the Cross no longer triumphs, because sacrifice no longer triumphs. It is not surprising that men no longer think of anything but raising their standard of living, that they seek only money, riches, pleasures, comfort, and the easy ways of this world. They have lost the sense of sacrifice” (Archbishop Lefebvre, Jubilee Sermon, Nov. 1979). Milan — fresco from San Marco church, Jesus’ teaching on the duty to render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God, the things that are God’s. Letter from the Publisher Dear readers, Because he is body and soul, man has basic human needs, like food, drink, clothes, and shelter, which he cannot obtain unless he has basic, minimal possessions. The trouble is that possessions quickly engender love for them; love breeds dependence; and depen- dence is only one step away from slavery. Merely human wisdom, like Virgil’s Aeneid, has stigmatized it as “the sacrilegious hunger for gold.” For the Catholic, the problem of material possessions is compounded with the issue of using the goods as if not using them, of living in the world without being of the world. This is the paradox best defined by Our Lord in the first beatitude: “Blessed be the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Our civilization is fast heading towards decomposition partly for not understanding these basic truths.

INTRODUCTION Judge Noonan has been speaking and writing explicitly about the gen- eral topic of development of doctrine in Catholic moral theology for ap- proximately a decade now. In 1993, he published a now-classic article on the topic in Theological Studies, arguably the most prominent journal of Catholic theology in the United States.' He gave a plenary address on de- velopment of moral doctrine to the annual meeting of the Catholic Theolog- ical Society of America in 1999.2 Judge Noonan developed his arguments and analyses more extensively in the fall of 2003, when he delivered a se- ries of eight Erasmus Lectures at the University of Notre Dame on the de- velopment of moral doctrine.

He is my hero and this is his accomplishment as much as it is mine. Next, I would be remiss without acknowledging the tremendous and never-ending support of my mother and chief editor, Mary Anne Woodrom; my dad and step-mother, Harold and Marilyn Woodrom; and my sister and assistant editor, Rebecca Reid and my brother-in-law, Lynn. My brother Roy Woodrom, whose generosity with his frequent flier miles sent me to ECOnference 2000, which set me on my path to study sea turtles as an undergraduate at Texas A&M. The rest of my extended family, especially my aunt Dr. Sandra Luna McCune for her editing assistance, also deserve acknowledgement for always being there for me regardless of the paths I choose to take.

    Gushan: the Formation of a Chan Lineage During the Seventeenth Century and Its Spread to Taiwan Hsuan-Li Wang Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Hsuan-Li Wang All rights reserved ABSTRACT Gushan: the Formation of a Chan Lineage During the Seventeenth Century and Its Spread to Taiwan Hsuan-Li Wang Taking Gushan 鼓山 Monastery in Fujian Province as a reference point, this dissertation investigates the formation of the Gushan Chan lineage in Fujian area and its later diffusion process to Taiwan. From the perspective of religion diffusion studies, this dissertation investigates the three stages of this process: 1. the displacement of Caodong 曹洞 Chan center to Fujian in the seventeenth century; 2. Chinese migration bringing Buddhism to Taiwan in the Qing dynasty (1644-1911) and 3. the expansion diffusion activities of the institutions and masters affiliated with this lineage in Taiwan during the Japanese rule (1895-1945), and the new developments of humanistic Buddhism (renjian fojiao 人間佛教) after 1949. In this spreading process of the Gushan Chan lineage, Taiwanese Buddhism has emerged as the bridge between Chinese and Japanese Buddhism because of its unique historical experiences. It is in the expansion diffusion activities of the Gushan Chan lineage in Taiwan that Taiwanese Buddhism has gradually attained autonomy during the Japanese rule, leading to post-war new developments in contemporary humanistic Buddhism.

STM/LA 112: INTRODUCTION TO PHILOSOPHY: EARLY PLATONIC DIALOGUES (6 ECTS) The presocratic movement develops in Plato into a science of philosophy. This science is called ‘dialectics’ and refers to the understanding of the eternal ideas. The chosen dialogues are located at the beginning of the curriculum and consider principles of Plato’s thought. In Socrates they reveal the exemplary way of a philosopher as a lover of wisdom, who dedicates his life to the discernment of an unchangeable truth in service of the gods and the polis: “The unexamined life is not worth living for men” (Apology 38a).

It is a letter intended to travel— to circulate. However in modern times it has become almost exclusively used to denote teachings from the Pope. Comparing an encyclical to other kinds of official Roman Catholic documents is a good way to understand the significance of an encyclical. Firstly, when the pope makes a declaration of some article of faith or moral law it is
