It was the cherished dream of His Excellency Dr. Rajendra Prasad, the first President of the Republic of India that the legacy of the ancient Nalanda Mahavihara should be carry forward and accordingly he declared that „the ancient seat of Buddhist learning at Nalanda would be revived in order to revive the lost glory and the heritage of ancient Nalanda Mahavihara‟. It was His Excellency, Dr. Rajendra Prasad who laid the foundation stone of the first building of the Nava Nalanda Mahavihara on 20th November, 1951. The words engraved upon it in verse form in Pali language are: Asm eva silāsiṁgṁā Nālandā bhānuraṁsio, Udentu lokabhāsāya vigame mārarattiyā. Let the rays of the sun of Nalanda rise from the summit of this rock in order to brighten the vernacular (lokabhāsā in Pali) after the passing away of its nights of darkness (period of its obscurity). In due course of time the rechristening of this Institute was done after an inscribed seal which records: “Srī Nālandā-mahāvihāriyāryabhikṣu-saṅghasya”, „Seal of the Community of Venerable Monks of the Great Monastry at Nalanda‟ was discovered from the excavated site of the ancient Nalanda University. The adjective „Nava‟ or „new‟ in the name of the ancient Nalanda Mahavihara was added by its founders which not only signifies the resurrection of ancient Nalanda University but also signifies the revival and reorientation of the academic tradition of the ancient Buddhist Mahavihara on modern scientific lines. It is also pertinent to mention here that the seal adopted for the Nava Nalanda Mahavihara is almost modelled after the seal of ancient Nalanda University with the Dharmacakra flanked by two deers dates back to 8th /9th Century AD during the Pala period and had been found during the excavation of the ruins of the ancient Nalanda Mahavihara. Being primarily a research Institute, the Nava Nalanda Mahavihara is laying special emphasis on the research and publication projects from the day of its very inception. The research projects undertaken by the Mahavihara are of two types - Short-term Projects and Long- term Projects. Guiding the scholars for the award of the doctoral degree, publication of research volumes and monographs by members of the staff and research scholars come under Short-term Projects. The publication of the Pali texts not yet published in Devanāgari script such as the entire Pali Tipiṭaka, Aṭṭhakathā (Commentaries) on the Pali Tipiṭaka, Pali Ṭikā(s) and Anuṭīkā(s) on them and other Pali texts, the work of compilation of the Pali-Hindi Dictionary and authentic Hindi translation of the entire Pali Tipiṭaka, critical decipherment and publication of MSS and their Cataloguing are a few works envisaged under Long-term Projects by the Nava 7 Nalanda Mahavihara. Total 41 Volumes of Pali-Tripitaka in Devanagari script is now available in the Publication Counter of NNM, Nalanda. During the first ten years of its establishment, it has been successful in publishing the whole set of Pali Tipiṭaka for the first time in Devanāgari script under the able guidance of late Bhikkhu Jagadisa Kassapa, an erudite scholar of Pali & Buddhist Studies and the founder Director of the Nava Nalanda Mahavihara, Nalanda in forty one elegant volumes which was warmly received by the reputed scholars of the world. It is pertinent to mention here that prior to its publication by the NNM, complete set of the Pali Tipiṭaka had already been published in various scripts like, Burmese, Singhalese, Siamese, Roman etc. The methodology adopted to edit and publish the Pali Tipiṭaka in Devanāgari Script by the Nava Nalanda Mahavihara has become a role model for editing the text of Pali language throughout the world. The publication work of the post-canonical literature such as Aṭṭhakathā, Ṭikā and Anuṭīkā etc. in Devanāgari script is also in progress. So far 25 volumes of the Aṭṭhakathā literature have already been published. It is also pertinent to mention here that before its publication by the Nava Nalanda Mahavihara the complete set of Pali Tipiṭaka in any Indian script was not extant in India. Besides other publications, mention may be made of seven research volumes containing monographs on different aspects of Buddhist Philosophy, Logic, History and Culture which have been published by the Nava Nalanda Mahavihara. At the time of the establishment of the Nava Nalanda Mahaviahra, there were very few Indian universities which were having the departments/centers, though in nascent stage, which were facilitating studies and researches in Pali language and literature. The study of Pali language & literature was not at all popular among the Indians as the people were not known to its rich heritage. The study materials in any modern Indian language were very scant at the disposal of teachers and taught. Therefore, during its initial days of establishment, the Nava Nalanda Mahavihara not only took the responsibility of imparting teaching and conducting researches in Pali language & literature but also started the publication work of Pali texts for making them available to the general readers as well as the scholars. Thus the credit to popularize the study of Pali language and literature in India undoubtedly goes to the Nava Nalanda Mahavihara. Thus it could be surmised that the academic activities of the Nava Nalanda Mahavihara includes: (a) teaching and research, (b) organizing seminars/conferences/ workshops (c) Publications and (d) creating a well-equipped library of oriental learning. Besides the above mentioned academic work, time to time the Nava Nalanda Mahavihara holds special convocations to award of the degree of Vidya Varidhi (D. Litt.), honoris causa to those personalities who have made indelible mark in the field Pali and Buddhist Studies as well as in allied subjects. The story of institution of conferment of the degree of Vidya Varidhi is quite interesting. It was started on the behest of Government of India in the year 1966 when the crown 8 prince of Laos His Highness Sri Vong Savong had visited India and had expressed his desire to get the degree of Nalanda. It was at special request from the Government of India that the NNM held the convocation and conferred the degree of Vidya Varidhi (D. Lit.) Honoris Causa on him. This had a very great impact on the Buddhist countries towards the regeneration of cultural kinship between India and the countries of the East, South and South East Asia.

  • The Case of the Grand Monuments of Paharpur, Bangladesh
    Revisiting the Past through Virtual Reconstruction: The Case of the Grand Monuments of Paharpur, Bangladesh Md Mizanur Rashid Hafizur Rahaman (International Islamic University Malaysia) (National University of Singapore) This study aims at developing a virtual model of the lost architecture of the Buddhist Monastery of Sompur Mahavihara in Paharpur, Bangladesh. The eighth-century monastery is one of the earliest examples of monumental architecture in Bengal and in 1985 its ruins were listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From the very discovery of its ruins the monument drew the attention of architectural historians of South and Southeast Asia because of its unique architectural features and strategic location in space and time. The monument’s architecture, however, is scantily doc- umented, because after a millennium of amnesia first-hand resources are unavailable. The archi- tectural historian’s main sources are therefore the fragmentary archaeological remains, literary evidence, and epigraphic records. This study attempts to develop a virtual model of Sompur Ma- havihara that can accommodate different contesting narratives regarding its architecture. It looks into history in a dynamic way and uses virtual reconstruction as a flexible tool to reconstruct the lost monument. The aim of this paper is therefore twofold. First, it develops a methodological framework for retrieving and commemorating both tangible and intangible aspects of the monastery, perusing a critical theoretical construct, and then applies this knowledge to elaborate a conjectural virtual reconstruction. Second, it presents an online interactive platform that was created to collect pub- lic comments and contributions on the past culture and history of Sompur Mahavihara, so as to reinvent and renew the previous model.

  • Lion Symbol in Hindu-Buddhist Sociological Art and Architecture of Bangladesh: an Analysis
    International Journal in Management and Social Science Volume 08 Issue 07, July 2020 ISSN: 2321-1784 Impact Factor: 6.178 Journal Homepage: http://ijmr.net.in, Email: [email protected] Double-Blind Peer Reviewed Refereed Open Access International Journal Lion Symbol in Hindu-Buddhist Sociological Art and Architecture of Bangladesh: An Analysis Sk. Zohirul Islam1, Md. Kohinoor Hossain2, Mst. Shamsun Naher3 Abstract There is no lion animal in Bangladesh still live but has a lot of sculptors through terracotta art in architecture, which are specially used as decorative as religious aspects through the ages. The lion is the king of the animal world. They live in the plain and grassy hills particularly. Due to these characteristics, the lion has been considered through all ages in the world as a symbol of royalty and protection as well as of wisdom and pride, especially in Hindu- Buddhist religion. In Buddhism, lions are symbolic of the Bodhisattvas. In Buddhist architecture, lion symbols are used as protectors of Dharma and therefore support the throne of the Buddha’s and Bodhisattvas. The lion symbol is also used in Hindu temple architecture as Jora Shiva Temple, Akhrapara Mondir of Jashore. In Bangladesh, there are various types of lion symbol used in terracotta plaques of Ananda Vihara, Rupbhan Mura, and Shalban Vihara at Mainamati in Comilla district, Vashu Vihara, Mankalir Kundo at Mahasthangarh in Bogra district and Somapura Mahavihara at Paharpur in Naogaon district. This research has been trying to find out the cultural significance of the lion symbol in Hindu-Buddhist art and architecture of Bangladesh.

This thesis focuses on two sites, Sarnath and Bodhgaya, which have been subject to contestations that precede the nation-state’s efforts at gaining economic revenue. The Hindu-Buddhist dispute over the Buddha’s image, the Saivite occupation of the Mahabodhi Temple in Bodhgaya, and Anagarika Dharmapala’s attempts at reclaiming several Buddhist sites in India have led to conflicting views, motivations, and interpretations. For the purpose of this thesis, I identify the primary national and transnational stakeholders who have contributed to differing views about the sacred geography of Buddhism in India.

All rights reserved. 1 2 The Eight Places of Buddhist Pilgrimage by Jeremy Russell Jeremy Russell was born in England and received his degree in English Literature from London University. He studied Buddhist philosophy at the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives, Dharamsala, for four years. Jeremy currently lives in Dharamsala, India, editing Cho-Yang, the Journal of Tibetan Culture, and translating other material from Tibetan. Lord Buddha said: Monks, after my passing away, if all the sons and daughters of good family and the faithful, so long as they live, go to the four holy places, they should go and remember: here at Lumbini the enlightened one was born; here at Bodhgaya he attained enlightenment; here at Sarnath he turned twelve wheels of Dharma; and here at Kushinagar he entered parinirvana. Monks, after my passing away there will be activities such as circumambulation of these places and prostration to them. Thus it should be told, for they who have faith in my deeds and awareness of their own will travel to higher states. After my passing away, the new monks who come and ask of the doctrine should be told of these four places and advised that a pilgrimage to them will help purify their previously accumulated negative karmas, even the five heinous actions.

  • Kesariya Stupa: Recently Excavated Architectural Marvel
    Proceeding of the International Conference on Archaeology, History and Heritage, Vol. 1, 2019, pp. 27-31 Copyright © 2019 TIIKM ISSN 2651-0243online DOI: https://doi.org/10.17501/26510243.2019.1103 KESARIYA STUPA: RECENTLY EXCAVATED ARCHITECTURAL MARVEL Ishani Sinha Deccan College Post Graduate and Research Institute, Pune, Maharashtra, India Abstract: The early Buddhist texts record that Buddha announced his approaching nirvana to the monks at vaishali. According to historical traditions, monks followed him as he departed from Vaishali after delivering the last sermon. Buddha persuaded them to return back and presented his alms-bowl to them as memorial. To commemorate that event a stupa was built there which is now identified with kesariya stupa (in Bihar) and which falls en route from Vaishali to Kushinagar (in eastern Uttar Pradesh) where Buddha attained nirvana. This stupa finds reference in the travelogues of Fa Xian and Xuan Zang, the two celebrated Chinese monks of fifth and seventh century CE respectively. Briefly mentioned by Alexander Cunningham in 1861-62, the stupa mound at Kesariya was subjected to meticulous excavation from 1997-98 onwards by Archaeological Survey of India which is still continuing. The unearthed brick stupa is datable to Gupta period (5th-6th century CE) although an earlier phase datable to Sunga-Satavahana period (1st-2nd century CE) was also traced below it. The stupa is a six terraced structure with a cylindrical drum atop and a group of cells, with intervening polygonal designs, on each terrace enshrining stucco image of Buddha. With an extant height of about 31.5 metres and a diameter of about 123 metres, it is undoubtedly one of the tallest and most voluminous stupas in India.

François Lagirarde The Nibbāna of Mahākassapa the Elder: Notes on a Buddhist Narrative Transmitted in Thai and Lao Literature THIS LEGEND OF MAHākassapa’S NIBBāNA from his last morning, to his failed farewell to King Ajātasattu, to his parinibbāna in the evening, to his ultimate “meeting” with Metteyya thousands of years later—is well known in Thailand and Laos although it was not included in the Pāli tipiṭaka or even mentioned in the commentaries or sub-commentaries. In fact, the texts known as Mahākassapatheranibbāna (the Nibbāna of Mahākassapa the Elder) represent only one among many other Nibbāna stories known in Thai-Lao Buddhist literature. In this paper I will attempt to show that the textual tradition dealing with the last moments of many disciples or “Hearers” of the Buddha—with Mahākassapa as the first one—became a rich, vast, and well preserved genre at least in the Thai world.

    Transcultural Studies 2016.1 121 Local Agency in Global Movements: Negotiating Forms of Buddhist Cosmopolitanism in the Young Men’s Buddhist Associations of Darjeeling and Kalimpong Kalzang Dorjee Bhutia, Grinnell College Introduction Darjeeling and Kalimpong have long played important roles in the development of global knowledge about Tibetan and Himalayan religions.1 While both trade centres became known throughout the British empire for their recreational opportunities, favourable climate, and their famous respective exports of Darjeeling tea and Kalimpong wool, they were both the centres of a rich, dynamic, and as time went on, increasingly hybrid cultural life. Positioned as they were on the frontier between the multiple states of India, Bhutan, Sikkim, Tibet, and Nepal, as well as the British and Chinese empires, Darjeeling and Kalimpong were also both home to multiple religious traditions. From the mid-nineteenth century onwards, Christian missionaries from Britain developed churches and educational institutions there in an attempt to gain a foothold in the hills. Their task was not an easy one, due to the strength of local traditions and the political and economic dominance of local Tibetan-derived Buddhist monastic institutions, which functioned as satellite institutions and commodity brokers for the nearby Buddhist states of Tibet, Sikkim, and Bhutan. British colonial administrators and scholars from around the world took advantage of the easy proximity of these urban centres for their explorations, and considered them as museums of living Buddhism. While Tibet remained closed for all but a lucky few, other explorers, Orientalist 1 I would like to thank the many people who contributed to this article, especially Pak Tséring’s family and members of past and present YMBA communities and their families in Darjeeling, Kalimpong, and Sikkim; L.
