  • Personal Stories ... Responses to Shin Buddhism
    Personal Stories ... Responses to Shin Buddhism D.C., Missouri I have lived my entire life in the St. Louis area. My education includes a B.A. from Southern Illinois University in Government, History & Sociology and an M.A. from Webster University in Business Administration. I have worked since 1967 as an accountant, currently serving as Treasurer of a small manufacturing company in St. Louis. Our companies claim to fame is that our co-founder was T.S. Eliot's father. Although I have earned my living for thirty plus years as an accountant, my interest has always been in the area of comparative religion/sociology of religion. At age 40 I met and married a research nurse who is currently working with the department of Geriatrics for St Louis University Medical School. In 1986 after two years of marriage we became foster parents with the hope of eventually adopting. Finally in 1990, we were able to adopt three brothers-the three youngest of a sibling group of seven. The boys are now 12, 10 and 8. I was raised in a Southern Baptist church which I rejected in my early teens and have been searching since then for a satisfactory outlet for my religious impulses. I was always uncomfortable with the ideas of eternal punishment for people who did not belong to the right religion, with the idea that Jesus was God (in a unique way), with the idea of the inerrancy of the King James version of the bible, and the idea that all religions other than evangelical Protestant Christianity were totally wrong.

The scroll originally came from a large set of the Buddhist scriptural canon, probably numbering more than 5,000 scrolls, that were dedicated to Chuson-ji Temple in present-day Iwate Prefecture. Chuson-ji was founded in 1105 and the Northern Fujiwara warriors lavishly patronized the temple until their demise at the end of that century.

  • A New Model of the Bodhisattva Ideal in Thich Nhat Hanh's Socially
    A New Model of the Bodhisattva Ideal in Thich Nhat Hanh’s Socially Engaged Buddhism Venerable Nguyen Van Nam Phra Rajapariyatkavi, Prof. Dr. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sudarat Bantaokul Dr. Soontaraporn Techapalokul International Buddhist Studies College Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University Corresponding Author Email: [email protected] Abstract This research article attempts to find out a new model of bodhisattva ideal in Thich Nhat Hanh’s Socially Engaged Buddhism (SEB). The methodology of this paper is qualitative consisting of documentary and in-depth interview methods of four key informants who are the closest disciples of Thich Nhat Hanh. The data analysis involves both content and interview analyses. The findings show that the bodhisattva ideal in Mahāyāna scriptures is aimed to dissect the bodhisattva concept and the practices of two typical bodhisattvas – Mañjuśrī and Avalokiteśvara. Thich Nhat Hanh has revived the notion of typical bodhisattva through the spirit of Socially Engaged Buddhism which is manifesting in four fields: education, social services, peacemaking, and the building of Plum Villages. The new model of bodhisattva ideal in his SEB is called the SMS model – that is Śila – the mindfulness training, Maitri – loving-kindness and Smṛti (or Sati) – mindfulness meditation. This SMS model helps the Buddha’s teachings and the Buddhist practices lead all human beings to happiness of this world and future lives. Key words: Bodhisattva ideal, Thich Nhat Hanh, Socially Engaged Buddhism. 27 1. Introduction All religions always contain a sustainable improvement to adapt to new circumstances. About three hundred years after the Buddha’s Mahāparinirvāna, the bodhisattva concept has strongly developed in order to deal with complicated social problems.
