  • Visakha Puja: Celebration of the Day of Vesak
    Visakha Puja: Celebration of the Day of Vesak By Prof. Dr. Phra Dharmakosajarn Rector, Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University Bangkok, Thailand Definition Visakha Puja, or the Day of Vesak, is the festival celebrating the birth, enlightenment and parinibbana (passing away) of the Lord Buddha. It falls on the full moon day of the month of Visakha or Vesak, the sixth lunar month, (which usually falls during the period May in the Gregorian calendar). Significance According to the Theravada tradition, the three most important events in the life of the Buddha – his birth, his achievement of enlightenment and his entry into of parinibbana – all occurred on the full moon day of Visakha. Aspects of the Dharma relating to the birth, enlightenment and parinibbana of the Buddha include gratitude, the Four Noble Truths and mindfulness. Historical Life of the Buddha The Buddha was born in Lumbini Park, between the cities Kapilavastu and Devadaha of the Sakya Kingdom, in present – day Nepal, on the morning of Friday, the fifteenth waxing day of the sixth lunar month, 623 BCE, 80 years before the beginning of the Buddhist Era. He exchanged the household life for that of an ascetic and after much strenuous effort attained full enlightenment at Uruvela in the kingdom of Magadha, present – day Bodhgaya, India, on the morning of Wednesday, the fifteenth waxing day of the sixth lunar month, 45 years before beginning of the Buddhist Era. After his enlightenment, he taught those who were able to receive his teaching and countless men and women achieved enlightenment. The Buddha achieved parinibbana, that is, he passed from this world, at the age of 80 on Tuesday, the fifteenth waxing day of the sixth lunar month in the Sala Park of the Malla near the town of Kusinara in the Malla Kingdom, present day Kushinagar, Uttar Pradesh, India.

  • Iceland and the Crisis: Territory, Europe, Identity
    Revista Română de Geografie Politică Year XIII, no. 1, May 2011, pp. 5-15 ISSN 1454-2749, E-ISSN 2065-1619 Article no. 131101-216 ICELAND AND THE CRISIS: TERRITORY, EUROPE, IDENTITY Luca ZARRILLI* University “G. D’Annunzio” of Chieti-Pescara, Italy. Department of Economics and History of the Territory, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The growing phase of Iceland’s economy, which began after World War II, was brusquely interrupted in October 2008, when the country was brought to the verge of bankruptcy and Icelanders were catapulted in the so- called kreppa: the very serious financial and social crisis with which Icelanders will have to deal in the years to come. The financial crisis, actually, has been producing, in the last two-year period, significant consequences also in terms of domestic politics, international relations (with special regard to an entry in the EU backed by the new government), cultural debate and even national identity, in addition to the highly evident economic effects. An exploitation of the advanced skills that Iceland has achieved in areas related to the analysis and the governance of the territory could be the response to the crisis from the points of view of environmental sustainability and business diversification. Additionally, it could represent a reaffirmation – as well as a redefinition – of a cultural identity. Key words: Iceland, crisis, EU, territory, identity ****** Iceland between reality and stereotype – In the collective imagery, Iceland distinguishes itself because of its geological and natural features, according to a stereotyped vision of this land (a land characterised by “ice and fire”, “the wild” and “the extreme”).

It is our intention that religious programs will promote positive values and moral practices to foster healthy relationships, especially within the families of those under our jurisdiction and within the communities to which they are returning. As a Department, we commit to providing religious as well as cultural opportunities for offenders within available resources, while maintaining facility security, safety, health and orderly operations. The Department will not endorse any religious faith or cultural group, but we will ensure that religious programming is consistent with the provisions of federal and state statutes, and will work hard with the Religious, Cultural and Faith Communities to ensure that the needs of the incarcerated community are fairly met. This desk manual has been prepared for use by chaplains, administrators and other staff of the Washington State Department of Corrections. It is not meant to be an exhaustive study of all religions. It does provide a brief background of most religions having participants housed in Washington prisons. This manual is intended to provide general guidelines, and define practice and procedure for Washington State Department of Corrections institutions. It is intended to be used in conjunction with Department policy. While it does not confer theological expertise, it will, provide correctional workers with the information necessary to respond too many of the religious concerns commonly encountered.

  • Rebirth in Theravāda Buddhism and Dr. Ian Stevenson's Research Study
    Rebirth in Theravāda Buddhism and Dr. Ian Stevenson’s Research Study Usa Wongsangkul1, Phramaha Nantakorn Piyabhani1, Sanu Mahatthanadull1 International Buddhist Studies College1 Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University [email protected] Received: 2020-03-18; Revised: 2021-06-08; Accepted: 2021-06-12. ABSTRACT Although Buddhism has become increasingly popular in the West, we should focus on using the ideas of rebirth and kamma, the language spoken by the Buddha (Sanskrit: karma) as an additional means to enhance moral education and spiritual development. The purpose of this article is to discuss the concepts of rebirth in Theravāda Buddhism and Dr. Ian Stevenson’s research study. First, the author explains the terminology and defi nitions related to rebirth according to the Buddha’s teaching. The article discusses Dr. Ian Stevenson’s research work relating to memories of previous lives, , his research methods and the results. I also present the opinion of Dr. Ian Stevenson and other researchers on belief in rebirth and scientifi c investigation. This article suggests an application of the concept of rebirth for use in peaceful living. Keywords: rebirth, reincarnation, kamma, saṃsāra 38 The Journal of International Buddhist Studies College ISSN: 2465-5546 Vol.7 No.1 (January–June 2021) Introduction While the idea of cyclic rebirth or samsāra in Buddhism, does not sit well with the Western scientifi c point of view, the rebirth process is like the transference of a fl ame from one candle to the other. Though one candle ceases to exist, the fi re is never extinguished.1 The concepts of rebirth and kamma are so central to Buddhist theory and practice.

Cahn, Ph.D. Abstract This study investigates the influences, both domestic and foreign, on the composition of Jón Nordal´s Piano Concerto of 1956. The research question in this study is, “Are there elements that are identifiable from traditional Icelandic music in Nordal´s work?” By using set theory analysis, and by viewing the work from an extramusical vantage point, the research demonstrated a strong tendency towards an Icelandic voice. In addition, an argument for a symbiotic relationship between the domestic and foreign elements is demonstrable. i ii My appreciation to Dr. Steven J. Cahn at the University of Cincinnati College- Conservatory of Music for his kindness and patience in reading my thesis, and for his helpful comments and criticism.

  • Cultural Diplomacy the Icelandic Way
    DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SCIENCE Cultural Diplomacy The Icelandic Way The current state of Iceland’s cultural diplomacy practices Master Thesis in Cultural Management Student: Bergþóra Laxdal Advisor: Dr. Gregory Payne Fall – 2016 ABSTRACT This 30 ECT credit MA thesis is a case study that discusses the role of the Government of Iceland and the creative centers in Iceland when publicly funding cultural projects that take place internationally. The objective is to examine the current state of how the Government of Iceland conducts its cultural diplomacy practices. In examining the Government practices on this topic, the following three questions are pursued; is there an informal cultural diplomacy policy in place; what principles drive that policy and what strategic approach is in place to fulfill the policy? The participants were selected due to their expertise in the cultural affairs of Iceland, and were divided into two groups. The first group, the Expert Committee on Art and Culture Expert Committee on Art and Culture headed by Promote Iceland, was selected to identify the Government agencies from which the creative centers receive their public funding and to gain insight into how projects that receive public funding are selected to represent Iceland abroad. This group delivered their answers in a written open ended questionnaire. The second group, Government cultural representatives with responsibilities in distributing public funding, was selected to get an overview of how the distribution of funds takes place and delivered their answers through an interview. The results were analyzed according to theories about policy and policy streams and strategy processes. The results support the view of an informal cultural policy being in place.
