This journey began on Oct. 23 with three monks and 16 lay students heading to Mumbai, India. Our first visit was to the Kanheri Caves in the Sanjay Gandhi National Park. These caves were carved out of cliffs as a place for monks to study and practice Buddhism. They date from 1st century BCE to 9th century CE. They were commissioned by royal families, merchants and others to support the monks in their efforts to practice countryside few foreigners get to see.

  • Tibetan Aid Project Pelgrimage Reis 2020 Naar Oost Tibet
    Tibetan Aid Project Pelgrimage Reis 2020 naar Oost Tibet Met TAP naar Oost Tibet (Kham) Het Tibetan Aid Project (TAP) organiseert in 2020 van 9 t/m 27 juni weer een pelgrimage reis, dit keer naar de regio Kham in Oost Tibet. Oost Tibet kent een andere historie dan het meer bekende, en ook meer toeristische, Centraal Tibet rondom Lhasa. In de negende en tiende eeuw toen Boeddhisme in Centraal Tibet werd vervolgd, fungeerde Oost Tibet als een toevluchtsoord voor monniken en leraren en werden daar vele teksten veiliggesteld. Veel latere, nu nog bekende, grote meesters vonden juist hier hun thuis in de ontstane kloosters, waar ze studeerden en onderricht gaven. De reis wordt, met programma inbreng van TAP, op maat voor ons georganiseerd en begeleid door Visit Travel Tibet Service. Dit is dezelfde organisatie waarmee we tot volle tevredenheid in eerdere jaren naar Centraal Tibet zijn geweest. Het Tibetan Aid Project fungeert hiervoor enkel als intermediair. We besteden in deze reis vooral aandacht aan de boeddhistische tempels en kloosters. Maar ook aan het landschap en de natuur van dit andere deel van Tibet met zijn groene heuvels, bossen, imposante bergen, woeste rivieren, diepe valleien en gletsjermeren. 1 Programma algemeen Het programma is onder voorbehoud van gewijzigde omstandigheden. Zo mogelijk en in overleg met onze Tibetaanse gids kan soms ook op verzoek besloten worden tot wijzigingen in het programma. De afstanden die we afleggen zijn groter dan in Centraal Tibet, waardoor we per dag vaak 2 tot 3 uur reizen, een enkele keer 6 – 7 uur op weg naar een volgende regio.

  • THE RIMAY TRADITION by Lama Surya Das The
    THE RIMAY TRADITION by Lama Surya Das The nonsectarian Rimay movement of Tibet is an ecumenical tradition started-- or more, accurately, revived--one hundred and forty years ago by the great Manjusri (wisdom) lamas of eastern Tibet renowned as the First Khyentse and First Kongtrul. It arose in order to preserve and help disseminate the many different lineages and practices of all the extant schools of Tibetan Buddhism, many of which were in danger of being lost. These extraordinarily learned and accomplished nonsectarian masters studied under hundreds of teachers and internalized the precious and profound Three Yana teachings, then taught and also compiled the bulk of them into voluminous compendiums, vast scriptural compilations such as the Rinchen Terdzod (Treasury of Visionary Revelations) and the Shayja Dzod (Treasury of Knowledge). Rimay means unbounded, all-embracing, unlimited, and also unbiased and impartial. The Karmapas, the Dalai Lamas, Sakya lineage heads, and major Nyingma and other lineage holders and founders (such as Je Tsongkhapa and Gyalwa Longchenpa) all took teachings and empowerments from various schools and lineages, and later practiced and authentically transmitted those traditions. The two enlightened nineteenth century renaissance-type masters, Khyentse and Kongtrul, were aided and abetted in this ambitious endeavor by the visionary Chogyur Lingpa as well as the younger and indomitable master Mipham, most of whom exchanged teachings and practices with each other in an unusually humble and collegial way. Other notable Tibetan Lamas widely renowned for their non-sectarian approach were Patrul Rinpoche and Lama Shabkar, Dudjom Lingpa and the Fifteenth Karmapa Khakyab Dorje. The present Fourteenth Dalai Lama of Tibet himself embodies and promotes this important tradition; he always mentions the importance of this inclusive, tolerant and open-minded Rimay spirit, wherever he goes, in his teachings and talks today.

  • Introductory Notes on the Relationship Between Buddhist and Hindu Yogas
    Sean Feit Oakes, PhD | SeanFeitOakes.com | 2017 Introductory Notes on the Relationship Between Buddhist and Hindu Yogas Sean Feit Oakes, PhD One of the many ways Insight Meditation (IM) has evolved away from its roots in Southeast Asian Theravāda Buddhism is in its embrace of yoga as a valuable adjunct to the vipassanā that forms the heart of its practice system. The yoga most common in the West, known by some scholars as “Modern Postural Yoga” (MPY) to highlight both its physical emphasis and its recent provenance, is a substantial part of the practice regimen of many IM practitioners, but holds an ambiguous role in the formal system of IM practice.1 Yoga, most often in a gentle style of posture (āsana) practice, is offered both in classes and via dedicated space for practice, at many IM centers, but is rarely spoken of in dharma talks, included in the progression of instructions that forms the basis of retreat practice, or included in the collection of primarily Buddhist doctrines that are emphasized and repeated. The reasons for this ambiguity are historical and doctrinal, reflecting the cultural identity of modern practitioners as much as the imagined historical separation of the traditions. Materials from historically more distant traditions, after all, like poems from Rumi, Mary Oliver, or T.S. Eliot, bring Muslim and Christian influences into the room, but are commonly used. Another commonly used source, Japanese Zen, while seemingly related to Theravāda by its Buddhist-ness, is historically and in some ways doctrinally just as distant from Theravāda as most forms of modern Hinduism.

  • Buddhism and the Global Bazaar in Bodh Gaya, Bihar
    DESTINATION ENLIGHTENMENT: BUDDHISM AND THE GLOBAL BAZAAR IN BODH GAYA, BIHAR by David Geary B.A., Simon Fraser University, 1999 M.A., Carleton University, 2003 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Anthropology) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) December 2009 © David Geary, 2009 ABSTRACT This dissertation is a historical ethnography that examines the social transformation of Bodh Gaya into a World Heritage site. On June 26, 2002, the Mahabodhi Temple Complex at Bodh Gaya was formally inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. As a place of cultural heritage and a monument of “outstanding universal value” this inclusion has reinforced the ancient significance of Bodh Gaya as the place of Buddha's enlightenment. In this dissertation, I take this recent event as a framing device for my historical and ethnographic analysis that details the varying ways in which Bodh Gaya is constructed out of a particular set of social relations. How do different groups attach meaning to Bodh Gaya's space and negotiate the multiple claims and memories embedded in place? How is Bodh Gaya socially constructed as a global site of memory and how do contests over its spatiality im- plicate divergent histories, narratives and events? In order to delineate the various historical and spatial meanings that place holds for different groups I examine a set of interrelated transnational processes that are the focus of this dissertation: 1) the emergence of Buddhist monasteries, temples and/or guest houses tied to international pilgrimage; 2) the role of tourism and pilgrimage as a source of economic livelihood for local residents; and 3) the role of state tourism development and urban planning.

The very fact that we in the Western world speak about Buddhism as if it were a rigid system, that can (and maybe should) be dealt with in abstract terms, shows how little real understanding of a different set of values exists even at the present time. These values are inherent in a person's life and are not merely arbitrarily assigned to it. The following essays address themselves to the living person, not to an abstraction or a shadowy image; and they do so in terms which a living person can understand intellectually as well as feel deep within his heart. That is why these essays are unusual- they are not simply props or pegs on which to hang one's preconceptions, but stimulants to reconsider and to reassess the situation in which we find ourselves; and through this re-awakening to what is at hand, we are stimulated to set out on the path toward growth and maturation.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT It is almost exactly one hundred years since the popular and not merely academic dissemination of Buddhism in the West began. During this time a dialogue has grown up between Buddhism and the Western discipline of psychotherapy. It is the contention of this work that Buddhist philosophy and praxis have much to offer a contemporary psychotherapy. Firstly, in general, for its long history of the experiential exploration of mind and for the practices of cultivation based thereon, and secondly, more specifically, for the relevance and resonance of specific Buddhist doctrines to contemporary problematics. Thus, this work attempts, on the basis of a three-way conversation between Buddhism, psychotherapy and various themes from contemporary discourse, to suggest a psychotherapy that may be helpful and relevant to the current horizons of thought and contemporary psychopathologies which are substantially different from those prevalent at the time of psychotherapy's early years.

    What does it take to keep a culture’s sacred knowledge from being lost to history? THE GREAT TRANSMISSION A feature-length documentary film Running time: 56 minutes Year: 2015 Languages: English, Tibetan (subtitled) Countries of Production: US, Tibet, India Producer: Guna Foundation Press Contact information: Hyeryun Park Guna Foundation 2018 Allston Way Berkeley, CA 94704 [email protected] 510-809-1553 www.thegreattransmission.com Short Synopsis Imagine that you are one of a handful of survivors of a disaster that has virtually erased your culture. Now you must recover the knowledge that was lost and find ways to ensure that it continues into the future. Witnessing the disintegration of his heritage, Tibetan refugee and Buddhist lama Tarthang Tulku dedicated his life to restoring a text tradition that was nearly lost during the turbulence of the 20th century. Working with a handful of volunteers, he would eventually deliver over four and a quarter million books into Tibetan hands, in one of the largest free book distributions in history. The Great Transmission is the story of one Tibetan refugee lama and his efforts to preserve the sacred texts of his tradition. But more than that, it is the story of the epic journey of a precious inheritance of human knowledge from its origins in Ancient India to the present day, and the celebration of the valiant efforts of those devoted to its survival. Long Synopsis Imagine that you are one of a handful of survivors of an event that has virtually erased your culture. Now you must start from scratch—locating the lost knowledge and finding ways to ensure that it continues into the future.
