The Buddha lived and taught in the northeastern Indian subcontinent some time between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE.[2] He is recognized by adherents as an awakened teacher who shared his insights to help sentient beings end suffering (or dukkha), achieve nirvana, and escape what is seen as a cycle of suffering and rebirth. Two major branches of Buddhism are recognized: Theravada ("The School of the Elders") and Mahayana ("The Great Vehicle"). Theravada—the oldest surviving branch—has a widespread following in Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia, and Mahayana is found throughout East Asia and includes the traditions of Pure Land, Zen, Nichiren Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism, Shingon, Tendai and Shinnyo-en. In some classifications Vajrayana, a subcategory of Mahayana, is recognized as a third branch.

  • Is Buddhism Individualistic? the Trouble with a Term

The Trouble with a Term Donna Lynn Brown University of Manitoba Copyright Notice: Digital copies of this work may be made and distributed provided no change is made and no alteration is made to the content. Reproduction in any other format, with the exception of a single copy for private study, requires the written permission of the author. All en- quiries to: [email protected]. Is Buddhism Individualistic? The Trouble with a Term Donna Lynn Brown 1 Abstract Western scholars have been calling expressions of Bud- dhism “individualistic”—or denying the charge—since the 1800s. This article argues that “individualism” and related terms are sometimes problematic when applied to Bud- dhism. Because they are associated with Western moder- nity, they contribute to hegemonic discourses about Asia and Buddhism, skew representations, and reinforce stere- otypes. Because their referents have been many and var- ied—including escaping caste and family, asociality, lay practice, and racism—their use leads to imprecision, con- fusion, and lack of comparability among analyses. And be- cause they have moral connotations, they can blend ob- servation with valuation and polemic. The article exam- ines selected scholarly works that maintain or deny that 1 Department of Religion, University of Manitoba. [email protected]. The au- thor would like to thank Roger Jackson, Victor Forte, Jason Brown, Rory Dickson, and JBE’s anonymous reviewer for helpful comments. 56 Brown, Is Buddhism Individualistic? Buddhism is individualistic, highlights problems associat- ed with the term, and concludes that, in many cases, more precise and less value-laden descriptors should be found.

  • An Introduction to Buddhist Philosophy
    This page intentionally left blank An Introduction to Buddhist Philosophy In this clear and accessible book, Stephen Laumakis explains the origin and development of Buddhist ideas and concepts, focusing on the philosophical ideas and arguments presented and defended by selected thinkers and sutras from various traditions. He starts with a sketch of the Buddha and the Dharma, and highlights the origins of Buddhism in India. He then considers specific details of the Dharma with special attention to Buddhist metaphysics and epistemology, and examines the development of Buddhism in China, Japan, and Tibet, concluding with the ideas of the Dalai Lama and Thich Nhat Hanh. In each chapter he includes explanations of key terms and teachings, excerpts from primary source materials, and presentations of the arguments for each position. His book will be an invaluable guide for all who are interested in this rich and vibrant philosophy. STEPHEN J.
