Phrakhrukhunasarasophon, Dem Abt Des Wat Buddhabharami, Dem Ehrwürdigem Phra Suyanto Abhisuriyo Dem Abt Des Wat Metta Parami Und Phra Leif Sudhammo, Zusammengefasst 0 VORWORT Dieses Morgen- und Abendrezitationsbuch wurde herausgegeben, um im Wat Buddhabharami verwendet zu werden. Es ist zum Teil in deutscher Lautschrift geschrieben und einige Texte sind ins Deutsche übersetzt. Die Reihenfolge der Texte entspricht der Zuordnung des vorher in Thai herausgegebenen Buches. Diese Ausgabe soll deutsche Interessenten und Thais, welche die Thaischrift nicht lesen können, die Rezitation erleichtern, sowie ihnen Zuflucht ermöglichen, um Achtsamkeit, Sammlung und Weisheit im Buddhismus zu finden. Alle Texte wurden von dem Ehrwürdigem Phrakhrukhunasarasophon, dem Abt des Wat Buddhabharami, dem Ehrwürdigem Phra Suyanto Abhisuriyo dem Abt des Wat Metta Parami und Phra Leif Sudhammo, zusammengefasst. Sie danken für die Unterstützung von Upin Rachit und Jean Winterhoff, die die Texte mitgeschrieben und einige davon ins Deutsche übersetzt haben.

Aus der Ausgangsstellung 0 (Bild o.l.) geht man zur Stellung 1 (Bild o.m.) , faltet die Hände vor der Brust zusammen und hebt diese dann hoch bis die Daumen die Augenbrauenlinie berühren(2 Bild o.r,) Von dieser Stellung aus verbeugt man sich nun; Die Hände werden bei einem Abstand von ca 10cm flach auf den Boden gelegt (3 Bild unten) Der Kopf sollte zwischen den Unterarmen den Boden berühren! Diesen Vorgang wiederholt man nun 2 mal und zum Abschluss des letzten Durchgangs sollen die gefalteten Hände vom Boden direkt zur Stellung 2 geführt werden und danach zur Stellung 1. 10 Um ein elegantes Erscheinungsbild zu erzielen, sollten diese Bewegungen nicht zu schnell und nicht zu langsam durchgeführt werden. Jede Verneigung hat eine besondere Bedeutung zur Verehrung der drei Juwelen: 1. Buddho =Buddha(Der Erleuchtete der frei von Wurzeln des Leidens) 2. Dhammo =Dhamma (Die Lehrrede des Buddhas) 3. Sangho =Sangha (Die Mönche, die die Wege des Budda vorfolgen) Wochentage und ihre Buddhas 7 Wochentagen werden in Thailand 8 Buddhas zugeordnet. In Thailand hat man den Wochentagen nicht nur 7 verschiedene Farben, sondern auch 8 Buddhastatuen in verschiedenen Haltungen/Gesten, zugeordnet. Die Brahmanen ordnen für bestimmte Zeremonien den Wochentagen Himmelsrichtungen zu und so braucht man für 8 Himmelsrichtungen auch 8 Wochentage und somit auch 8 Buddhas. Um dieses Problem zu lösen, hat man den Mittwoch zweigeteilt. Bei wichtigen Anlässen, wie z.B. Hochzeiten, Firmengründungen, Hauseinweihungen, etc… loten 11 Brahmanen den richtigen Tag und oft auch den richtigen Zeitpunkt aus. In vielen thailändischen Tempeln findet man die 8 Wochentage Buddhas mit davor aufgestellten Opferschalen.Es gilt als glücksverheißend seinem Buddha(dem Geburtstag zugeordnetem Buddha) etwas zu opfern. MONTAG Der Buddha wird hier in stehender Körperhaltung abgebildet. Die rechte Hand wird von ihm in Brusthöhe gehalten. Er wird in manchen Fällen auch beide Hände hochhaltend dargestellt. DIENSTAG Der Buddha wird hier auf seiner rechten Seite liegend abgebildet, sein linker Arm ruht ausgestreckt auf seinen Beinen, wobei sein rechter Arm bzw. die Handfläche seiner rechten Hand seinem Kopf als Stütze dient. Diese Körperhaltung des Buddha wird auch "Löwenstellung" 12 genannt. In dieser Stellung ging er in das Parinibbāna ein (die endgültige Erlöschung im Tode eines Arahant, eines Heiligen), schlief er und ruhte sich aus. MITTWOCH 06:00-18:00 UHR (MORGENS) Der Buddha wird hier in stehender Körperhaltung abgebildet, er hält seine Almosenschale mit beiden Händen fest. MITTWOCH 18:00-06:00 UHR (ABENDS) 13 Der Buddha wird hier in westlicher Art sitzend abgebildet, die linke Hand ruht mit der Handfläche nach unten gerichtet, auf dem linken Knie. Die rechte Hand ruht mit der Handfläche nach oben gerichtet auf dem rechten Oberschenkel. Vor dem Buddha sind links ein Affe und rechts ein Elefant abgebildet (von ihm aus gesehen). DONNERSTAG Der Buddha wird hier in sitzender Körperhaltung abgebildet, seine linke Hand ruht in seinem Schoß, die Handfläche ist nach oben gerichtet. Seine rechte Hand liegt auf dem Knie seines rechten Beines, mit seinen Fingern in Richtung Erde zeigend. Diese Handhaltung zeigte der Buddha während der Niederlage des Mara, bei der er die Erde als Zeugin für die Vollkommenheit und Überlegenheit seiner Großzügigkeit anrief. 14 FREITRAG Der Buddha wird hier in stehender Körperhaltung abgebildet, beide Hände liegen über Kreuz auf seiner Brust, die linke Hand unter der rechten. SAMSTAG Der Buddha wird hier in sitzender Körperhaltung (Sitzmeditationshaltung) abgebildet, seine beiden Hände ruhen in seinem Schoß, die rechte in der linken, die Handflächen sind nach oben gerichtet.

The Concept of 'Dhamma' in Thai Buddhism: A Study in the Thought of Vajiranana and Buddhadasa Abstract Dhamma is one of the most important and most difficult concepts in Pali Buddhism. Its significance lies in the fact that the term points to both the essence and the goal of Buddhism. Its ambiguity, however, results from the variety of the term's interpretations depending on its contexts. This dissertation analyzes the concept of dhamma in the writings of the two foremost interpreters of Thai Buddhism in the modern and contemporary periods, Vajiranana (1860-1921) and Buddhadasa (1906- ), who, in differing ways, attempt to recover the original teaching of the Buddha's dhamma. The study first describes the anger of meanings of the term in the Pali canonical materials, and selected western interpreters, before focusing on its normative and popular significance in Thai Buddhism. After discussing the historical context in which Vajiranana and Buddhadasa have worked, the dissertation then provides a detailed exposition of their interpretations of dhamma.

  • Enlightened – the Realm of the Buddhas
    Enlightened – The Realm of the Buddhas The Buddha seated on a lotus throne is one of the oldest and to date best-known representa- tions of Buddhism. Buddhist teachings emerged in northern India in the last pre-Christian millennium. From there it spread across Central and East Asia as far as Indonesia within a matter of 1,200 years. Today, Buddhism has over 380 million followers spread over the entire globe. Who was the Buddha and what was his message? How many Buddhas are there and how do they differ from one another? Is a Buddha always male? What is understood by enlightenment? The exhibition invites visitors to follow up on these and similar questions and explore the immense variety of Buddhism. At the centre stand the Three Jewels: the Buddha, his teachings, and the Buddhist community. The encounter with numerous Buddhas from South, Central, and East Asia will reveal that representations of the Buddha do not merely have a decorative function. They form the pillars of a spiritual practice and convey complex and intricate teachings. On his journey from prince to religious founder, Buddha Shakyamuni searched for the origin of suffering and for ways of overcoming it. Since his pursuit began roughly 2,500 years ago, a multitude of symbols and images of him and his teachings have emerged. What a Buddha had to look like was defined very early in various Indian writings. Unto this day, artists still follow these templates which makes recognizing a Buddha quite easy. At the same time, one is surprised again and again at the huge variety of representational modes which emerged with the spread of Buddhism and its encounter with local artistic expressions and ideas.

  • The Development of Buddha Images Qing MING Yunnan Normal University, Kunming, Yunnan, China [email protected]
    2017 3rd International Conference on Social Science and Management (ICSSM 2017) ISBN: 978-1-60595-445-5 The Development of Buddha Images Qing MING Yunnan Normal University, Kunming, Yunnan, China [email protected] Keywords: Buddha Images, Sakyamuni Buddha, Mathura Style. Abstract. Buddhism was founded in the sixth century B.C., and Buddha images began with representations of Sakyamuni Buddha. After the Buddha’s pariniravana, Buddhism started to spread out of India to the north and south, passing through Central Asia, Japan, Korea, and so on. Following the spread of Buddhism, Buddha images have developed according to time period, geographic location, and cultural traditions of an area. Responding to religious belief, local craftsmen and artisans created differing Buddha images that were both imposing and tranquil in appearance. This paper intends to show an evolution of Buddha images from non-iconic to iconic times, and the variation in form, garments and decorations used. From these, we can see the many different styles used and varying appearances of the Buddha according to different people. 1. King Mucalinga Venerating the Bddha (Late 2nd Century B.C.; India) The boddhi tree, regarded as a sacred tree in Buddhism, and the pedestal sprinkled with flowers are symbols of the Buddha. On the lower left, King Mucalinda is shown paying worship to a stupa, an early representation of the Buddha. 2. Footprint of the Buddha (Pakistan - Peshawar; 3rd to 5th Century) This is an image of the Buddha’s footprints carved on stone. Worshipping the Buddha’s footprints was analogous to worshipping the Buddha himself and was said to erase the effects of boundless sins.

Cheng Chong Hua, Ng Swee Kong and Tony S H Quah for their kind permission to use their photographs in this article. 1 ITRODUCTIO The idea of a pilgrimage came from the Buddha himself over 2500 years ago! In answer to Ven. Ananda’s concern that the monks would no longer be able to see the Buddha and pay their respects after his Parinibbana, Buddha advised pious disciples to visit Four Places, the sight of which will inspire faith ( saddha ) and religious urgency ( samvega ) after He was gone. These places are called Samvejaniya-thana in Pali or places that arouse awareness and apprehension of impermanence . What are the Four Places? 2 LUMBII: “Here the Tathagata was born ! This, Ananda, is a place that a pious disciple should visit and look upon with feelings of reverence.” BUDDHAGAYA: “Here the Tathagata attained the unexcelled Supreme Enlightenment ! This, Ananda, is a place that a pious disciple should visit and look upon with feelings of reverence.” SARATH: “Here the Tathagata set rolling the Wheel of Dhamma ! This, Ananda, is a place that a pious disciple should visit and look upon with feelings of reverence.” KUSIARA: “Here the Tathagata passed away into Parinibbana .
