Background TS.Pdf Background Page 1 of 10 INTRODUCTION Madhyamaloka. Raining. Title: Birmingham, UK. Current home of Sangharakshita, founder of the fwbo Park then Sangharakshita with tea. Shrine. Young Sangharakshita at holy site. Then aged Sangharakshita. Music of a distant time and place. Sangharakshita: I was studying with Jagdish Kashyap. He was a very eminent Indian Buddhist monk, a very great scholar and I was studying with him abhidharma, which is, in a way, Buddhist philosophy and also logic and I spent many happy months studying with him. Indian images Sangharakshita: I stayed with Kashyapji in his hermitage where he lived more or less on his own. One day Kashyapji decided he had enough of working as a professor in the university so he suggested we went and had a pilgrimage in Bihar, to the Buddhist holy places and then he said we go up to a hill station called Kalimpong. But it was very different to any town down in the plains, it seemed a much happier, livelier, more colourful place. Title: Some 50 years on, pilgrims pay visits to the places where teachers have been. With Danus, Manish & Suryaprabha (unseen) and Ratnaketu (guide) 1 BHIKKHU SANGHARAKSHITA Dharmodaya Academy (Vihara) Ratnaketu: So we better knock on the door... We are disciples of Sangharakshita. PB Shakya: Yes. You've come from where? Ratnaketu: We've come from different places - from New Zealand, from England and from Bodhgaya. PB Shakya: I see. You've come here just to see the place where Bhikkhu Sangharakshita has stayed. Ratnaketu: That's right. PB Shakya: I see. And here you have got a picture... In this picture you'll find Sangharakshita. Ratnaketu: Aha! So it is… PB Shakya: He's stayed here for few years. 1951 or ‘52, most probably ’51 0r ’52. Background Page 2 of 10 Ratnaketu: This is the bedroom that Bhante slept in when he was here. The Dharmodaya Vihara as it was then called. PB Shakya: This is the computer room and this is the children’s work… He started preaching, he started teaching English and the young boys used to come to his place to learn English. He opened a branch of the Mahabodhi Society here. Ratnaketu (off-mic): [...it was constructed. …in the forest cut it back to the roots and then, what they do traditionally, they wrap it in leaves and this man said, ‘OK you leave my portion here… We had this problem. He discovered…] PB Shakya: He was previously monk, his name was Mahaprajna. Ratnaketu: Mahaprajna PB Shakya: Then after that he went back again to Saranatha, then, most probably, he didn't come again, he didn't come back. Ratnaketu: That’s the stairs where all Bhante's belongings were thrown down the bottom of the stairs, where he learnt that he'd been kept out of Dhammodaya Vihara. And this is where Burma Raja came and rescued Bhante, took him up the hill to Panorama. 2 PILGRIMAGE Country scenes Sangharakshita: A pilgrimage reminds one of the Buddha and his original disciples and, even now, in some ways India is not very different, especially village India from what it was like in the time of the Buddha. One can find the same little villages, the same mud huts, the same village ground, the same lotus pond and sometimes if one were sort of to close ones eyes one could very easily imagine the Buddha just coming round the corner of one of these little huts on his begging round, So, a pilgrimage of this sort can give one a more vivid sense of the Buddha and of the fact he was actually a real human being and not a myth or a legend even though legendary elements may have crept in later in the story of his life. Yiga Choling, Ghoom Title: the monastery is associated with Tomo Geshe Rinpoche, died 1936 (b 1866) Lama Anagarika Govinda, died 1985 (b 1898) Dhardo Rinpoche, died 1990 (b 1917) whose stupa is here Interior. Music. Then Exterior Ratnaketu: This is where Lama Govinda became a Tibetan Buddhist, because he started off as a Theravadin. He came up here to Darjeeling to a conference hoping to convert some of the Tibetans to the Theravada and he got snowed in at this monastery Yiga Choling at Ghoom, he got snowed in and slowly the atmosphere, the spirituality of the place really had a very powerful effect on him and it was he who got converted to Mahayana by this place. Background Page 3 of 10 Tomo Cottage (ruin) Ratnaketu: The first Tomo Geshe Rinpoche did his, one of his retreats here when Lama Govinda was staying down here, Tomo Geshe Rinpoche was up here. He began to feel the Rinpoche's presence. This is quite an important place for Western Buddhism I think: the transmission of the Buddhism into the West. It's a pity that it's in such a bad state... Really this monastery has such a strong connection with Western Buddhism through Lama Govinda who made it famous in his book 'The Way of the White Clouds'. 3 BHANTE’S HERMITAGE The Hermitage, Kalimpong Ratnaketu: This is the hermitage that Bhante stayed in and it's been fixed up now, it's a guest house. Danus: Ah, the octagonal room in the garden. Ratnaketu: Yes, this is, yes, the meditation room, Bhante's shrine room. This is where he came back from one visit with Lama Govinda and found the gold statue of the Buddha that Dhardo Rinpoche had blessed... So, I believe this is Bhante's room when he stayed here, (this room…) This was where the famous ping-pong table was and Bhante describes the room was just big enough just to fit the ping-pong table and you could squeeze down either other side and it’s true. In the first chapter in 'Sign of the Golden Wheel' you know he describes on one Wesak everybody just kept bringing gardenias until the whole place was filled with those flowers and their scent. He wrote a lot of poetry, of course, here and articles and, towards the end of his stay here, this is when he began the Survey. But this is also the room where Lama Govinda, Li Gotami came. Li Gotami showed her drawings that she'd done from the expedition to the West of Tibet. Near Samten Choling, Ghoom Ratnaketu: This is a stupa in memory of Lama Govinda and Li Gotami. Interesting to see that Lama Govinda founded the Siksapracchar Sangha in Darjeeling 1933... a long time ago... He would have, in fact, only been 35 years old... Gompu’s Restaurant 4 CHETUL’S MONASTERY Phuntsog Nyab Choling, Jorebangla, Nr Ghoom Tibetan monk: Sangharakshita… Background Page 4 of 10 Ratnaketu: So, this is Chetul Sangye Dorje's monastery, it's one of Bhante's teachers, and this is also one of Bhante's teachers, Dudjom Rinpoche, who is the head of the Nyingmapas and he is also a teacher of Chetul Sangye Dorje. To me Chetul Sangye Dorje is important because he is a bit outside of the tradition. He is.. he is not recognised as the tulku of any of great previous person, he's just somebody who emerged, in the same way that Bhante is not recognised as anybody but as someone who has emerged. And there, of course, is His Holiness the Dalai Lama and behind on the wall is…? Tibetan monk: Khenpo Dasan Rinpoche. Kalimpong Café Ratnaketu: And in the same way I believe that other Buddhist teachers in the world and some of them are teaching Buddhism...Well, they're all teaching Buddhism...but, erm, some of them... Triyana Vardhana Vihara Ratnaketu: Bhante was looking for some permanent place in Kalimpong. And one day Chetul Rinpoche just told him, 'Yes, you are going to get a place' and he wrote out this poem in Tibetan and he said, 'You should call it this name: The Triyana Vardhana Vihara', it’s the place where three Yanas - Hinayana, Mahayana and Vajrayana, where they’re practised. And that was very much what Bhante wanted to do: was to practice the Dharma as a whole, not just one school, not just one path. Manish: So had Bhante to pay something here? Ratnaketu: No, he was very lucky, an Indian millionaire had said to Bhante, 'Well, if you ever need any money, then let me know…’ So he would have come here in 57, that’s when he got the place, right at the end of 1956, I believe, or the beginning of 57. He finished The Survey here, he wrote, you know, quite a lot of 'The Rainbow Road', 'The Eternal Legacy', quite a bit of, I think, 'Three Jewels' was written here and lots of poetry. Manish: [Hindi] Christian, no? Jen: Christian. Manish: His name is Jen, he’s Christian. Ratnaketu: He's in the lion's den. Manish/Jen: [Hindi] Ratnaketu: [You have to pull out that thorn.] Vikshukuti (was Triyana Vardhana Vihara) Ratnaketu: You stayed here with Bhante, yes? BK Gahatraj: Of course, I stayed with Bhanteji. Background Page 5 of 10 Ratnaketu: How old were you? BK Gahatraj: It was in ’59, I was 18 years old Ratnaketu: 18? BK Gahatraj: 18. Well, Bhante was also, as I see it, quite young. And this place, in fact, was not cemented, it was a wooden floor here. And this room coming outside was not here. This is wooden floor that Bhante used to pace the floor most of the time up and down... Yeah, he was meditating or thinking something, some investigative studies, writing work.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract The Gandavyuha-sutra: a Study of Wealth, Gender and Power in an Indian Buddhist Narrative In this thesis, I examine the roles of wealth, gender and power in the Mahay ana Buddhist scripture known as the Gandavyuha-sutra, using contemporary textual theory, narratology and worldview analysis. I argue that the wealth, gender and power of the spiritual guides (kalyanamitras , literally ‘good friends’) in this narrative reflect the social and political hierarchies and patterns of Buddhist patronage in ancient Indian during the time of its compilation. In order to do this, I divide the study into three parts. In part I, ‘Text and Context’, I first investigate what is currently known about the origins and development of the Gandavyuha, its extant manuscripts, translations and modern scholarship.

  • 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.

As a monk engaging himself in Buddhist meditation as well as a professor applying a historical-critical methodology, Bhikkhu Anālayo is well positioned to bridge these two com munities who both seek to deepen their understanding of these texts.’ – from the Foreword, 17th Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorje ‘In this study, Venerable Anālayo Bhikkhu brings a meticulous textual analysis of Pali texts, the Chinese Agamas and related material from Sanskrit and Tibetan to the foundational topics of compassion and emptiness. While his analysis is grounded in a scholarly approach, he has written this study as a helpful guide for meditation practice. The topics of compassion and emptiness are often associated with Tibetan Buddhism but here Venerable Anālayo makes clear their importance in the early Pali texts and the original schools.’ – Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo ‘This is an intriguing and delightful book that presents these topics from the viewpoint of the early suttas as well as from other perspectives, and grounds them in both theory and meditative practice.’ – Bhikshuni Thubten Chodron ‘A gift of visionary scholarship and practice. Anālayo holds a lamp to illuminate how the earliest teachings wed the great heart of compassion and the liberating heart of emptiness and invites us to join in this profound training.’ – Jack Kornfield ‘Arising from the author’s long-term, dedicated practice and study, Compassion and Emptiness in Early Buddhist Meditation provides a window into the depth and beauty of the Buddha’s liberating teachings.
