  • The Fourteenth Dalai Lama's Oral Teachings on the Source of The
    The Fourteenth Dalai Lama’s Oral Teachings on the Source of the Kālacakratantra Ronit Yoeli-Tlalim1 Warburg Institute, School of Advanced Studies, University of London THIS PAPER WILL PRESENT some rhetorical and discursive elements in oral versions of the history of the Kālacakratantra as currently presented by the Fourteenth Dalai Lama. Focusing on the definition of the Kālacakra’s “word of the Buddha” (buddha vacana), the paper will show how the Fourteenth Dalai Lama constructs an innovative version in his teachings, manifesting the relations between the esoteric tradition of Tibetan Buddhism and its contemporary religious milieux as it is being defined in exile. These rela- tions are apparent both in the information that is being taught and in the argumentation that constructs it. DEFINING THE KĀLACAKRATANTRA AS BUDDHA VACANA The issue of the source of the Kālacakratantra, or in other words, defin- ing the Kālacakratantra as buddha vacana, is of prime importance, not only for the study of the Kālacakra itself, but for the study of tantra in general.2 From the esoteric perspective connection with the Buddha is significant, not simply as a quasi-historical element, but as an element of practice, one that establishes a direct link with the possibility of enlightenment. According to the prevailing version in the Kālacakra tradition, the Buddha Śākyamuni taught the Kālacakratantra to King Suchandra of Shambhala. According to the Kālacakra tradition, it was at this occasion that the Buddha taught all of the tantra-s. From a traditional hermeneutical perspective the source of the teaching is of prime importance as it defines the fourfold relationship of: original au- thor/original audience // current teacher/current audience.

  • THE RELIGIOUS and SOCIAL SIGNIFICANCE of CHENREZIG in VAJRĀYANA BUDDHISM – a Study of Select Tibetan Thangkas
    SSamaama HHaqaq National Museum Institute, of History of Art, Conservation and Museology, New Delhi THE RELIGIOUS AND SOCIAL SIGNIFICANCE OF CHENREZIG IN VAJRĀYANA BUDDHISM – A Study of Select Tibetan Thangkas INTRODUCTION he tradition of thangkas has earned itself the merit of pioneering Tibetan art in the 21st century. The purpose behind the effulgent images Tis not to simply lure worshippers with their exuberant colours and designs; it also follows an intricate system of iconometric and iconologic principles in order to beseech the benefaction of a particular deity. As a result, a thangka is worshipped as a didactic ‘visual aid’ for Tibetan Buddhist reli- gious practices. Tracing the origin of the artistic and socio-cultural practices behind a thangka recreates a texture of Central Asian and Indian influences. The origin of ceremonial banners used all across Central Asia depicts a similar practice and philosophy. Yet, a close affinity can also be traced to the Indian art of paṭa painting, which was still prevalent around the eastern province of India around the Pala period.1) This present paper discusses the tradition of thangka painting as a medium for visualisation and a means to meditate upon the principal deity. The word thangka is a compound of two words – than, which is a flat surface and gka, which means a painting. Thus, a thangka represents a painting on a flat sur- 1) Tucci (1999: 271) “Pata, maṇḍala and painted representation of the lives of the saints, for the use of storytellers and of guides to holy places, are the threefold origin of Tibetan tankas”.

  • Chinese Temples in Bangkok Sources of Data for 19Th-Century Sino-Thai Communities
    25 Chinese Temples in Bangkok Sources of Data for 19th-Century Sino-Thai Communities ChuimeiHo* 1. Introduction Modem Chinese communities in Thailand have been the subject of extensive research by social scientists and historians (e.g., Landon 1941; Skinner 1957, 1958; Coughlin 1960; Purcell 1951). Much empirical data has been collected regarding Chinese ethnic groups in 20th-century Thai society, but not nearly as much hard data has been made available for the study of the Chinese in Bangkok during the 19th century. The numerous observations by European travelers are too sketchy for serious analysis and contemporary Thai and Chinese documentary sources seem to be very rare. However, rich epigraphic data from the last two centuries survives within the Chinese community in Thailand. Much of this is still on public display inside Chinese temples and ancestral halls. Elsewhere in Southeast Asia, much Chinese epigraphic material has been compiled by historians (e.g., Chen & Tan 1970; Chen 1977; Franke & Chen 1982-87). Some I scholars have incorporated such material into broader studies of overseas Chinese culture (e.g., Salmon & Lombard 1977 for Jakarta). But in Thailand, no comprehensive survey of temple inscriptions has yet been published, apart from some of Franke's work (1976; 1991).1 In deed, researchers generally have not paid much attention to Chinese temples in Thailand. Among the few exceptions are Skinner (1957:84,138 and Coughlin (1960:94-100).2 In 1990 and 1991, the author visited twenty-eight Chinese temples3 as well as one Chinese and five Vietnamese Mahayana monasteries4 in Bangkok (Table 1: Fig.l ).5 These included all of the temples in Sampheng, Bangkok's traditional Chinatown, and several others in Thon Buri on the other side of the Chao Phraya River.

  • Development of Historical Tourism: a Case Study of Bangkok National Museum, Thailand
    International Journal of Management and Applied Science, ISSN: 2394-7926 Volume-4, Issue-10, Oct.-2018 http://iraj.in DEVELOPMENT OF HISTORICAL TOURISM: A CASE STUDY OF BANGKOK NATIONAL MUSEUM, THAILAND. NUALMORAKOT TAWEETHONG Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University, Thailand E-mail: [email protected] Abstract - The objective of this research is to study the operating conditions and developmental problems and obstacles in development of historical tourism within Thailand as well as presenting development guidelines for historical tourism at the Bangkok National Museum, Thailand. This research will utilise qualitative research, including in-depth interview method as applied to data collection, with the key interviewees being key executive and operating officers in the Bangkok National Museum, tourists, tourism industry entrepreneurs and community leaders in the Phra Nakhon District (Bangkok) to represent a total of 70 persons. Data was analysed by utilising descriptive statistics, compiling of the acquired data. Studied phenomenon were examined through a determined analytical framework of analysis. This analytical framework considers four primary elements: finance and resources available to institutions, the level of service quality provided by the institutions, network learnings and development of institutions and the participation process of institutions. The research’s findings indicate that the National Museum’s operating condition could be developed to be a profitable historical tourism location and the developmental problems and obstacles were primarily issues of limited budgets for studies and research, conservation and collection of the important antiques, while tourism services and facilities had not yet been able to create a positive impression or experience for tourists, management lacked the facilitation of learning and developmental network in the group of the intellectuals or students and new generation youths with few participating intourism locations or the development of people or sites within local areas.

  • Gallery VB the Grand Palace ______
    Gallery VB The Grand Palace _________________________ Words and Photography by Kennie Ting While Bangkok was never colonised, it was the seat of a colonial empire that encompassed most of what we now know as Indochina, and parts of present-day Malaysia and Burma. Up until the early 20th century, the Kings of Siam ruled their Empire from within the walled compound of their Grand Palace on Rattanakosin, an island artificially created from the river by monumental canal. While the present day monarch, King Bhumibol, or Rama IX, no longer resides in the palace complex (even though the Palace is the official residence), the latter is still used today on state and ceremonial occasions, and its doors are cast wide open to devotees and visitors on every other day. The Palace was built to recall Ayutthaya, the former, fabled capital of Siam, sacked ignominiously by the Burmese in the 1700s. Indeed, many of the stones from the ruined floating city – Ayutthaya too was a canal city built on an island in the river – were painstakingly towed downriver to form the foundations of the palace. The very first structures in the palace were erected by King Rama I in 1782. They still stand today. Later on, a dizzying variety of styles, including Khmer, Thai, Chinese and European, would be used in the design and construction of many other structures in the palace grounds, resulting in a whole that is schizophrenic but never boring. The crowning glory of the complex is the Wat Phra Kaew, or the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. Its namesake is one of the National Treasures of Thailand, taken from Laos in the 17th century when it was a vassal state, and brought here to the seat of empire.

  • The Propagation of Theravada Buddhism in Foreign Countries: the Case of the Dhammakaya Temple in Thailand
    The propagation of Theravada Buddhism in foreign countries: The Case of the Dhammakaya Temple in Thailand Komazawa University Hidetake YANO This paper examines the organization, management, and propagation of the Wat Phra Dhammakaya (Dhammakaya Temple) in foreign countries, which is a newly arisen Buddhist group in Thailand. This group started its activity in 1970, and in 1977 it was recognized by the Thai government as a formal Buddhist temple belonging to the Sangha of Thai Theravada Buddhism. For this reason, it is difficult to term the Wat Phra Dhammakaya as a New Religious Movement. However, this temple has unique meditation practices, and its doctrines regarding Nirvana are different from mainstream Theravada Buddhism, hence, it is categorized as a new type of Buddhism in the Thai Buddhist Sangha. In orthodox forms of meditation in Theravada Buddhism, one starts with concentration on one’s own breathing or on one’s senses and emotions, then moves to the monitoring of and detachment from of the senses and emotions. However in the Dhammakaya style of meditation, one starts from meditating on a light (sphere) crystal ball or on a Buddha image in their mind, then cultivates the inner self along various stages that eventually lead to Dhammakaya, the Dharma body. This meditation aims to achieve “Nirvana” as the “true self” through the experience of unity with the Dhammakaya in the mind. Furthermore, it is believed that Dhammakaya meditation produces supernatural powers of protection and worldly happiness. Most of the members of this temple belong to the new urban middle class, who have a higher educational level, it has also spread to urbanites with less education and to the local people.
