  • Buddhism and Aesthetic Creativity

    Buddhism and Aesthetic Creativity

    Buddhism and Aesthetic Creativity By Ananda W.P. Guruge ABSTRACT Buddhism, just as other world Religions, has inspired a legacy of the finest and the most beautiful creations in architecture, painting, sculpture, statuary, and prose and poetic literature. In tracing the origin and the development of this magnificent legacy, this paper seeks answers to the following questions: How is it that the earliest reliably datable monuments and works of art including written records, hitherto discovered in the Indian Subcontinent, happen to be of Buddhist origin? How is it also that a vast literary movement in which poetry and story-telling figure prominently start with the Buddha setting new standards and directions? What role did the Buddha and his teachings play in this enigmatic revival of aesthetic creativityin the Indian Subcontinent and its extension to the rest of Asia and its continuance to present times? It is done in three Parts. In the first Part, the canonical texts in Pali are analyzed for evidence on how the Buddha personally inspired and took the initiative to promote aesthetic creativity. It has been possible to unravel that the Buddha did consciously resort to the highest standards of poetic expression in literature and also encouraged significant innovations in art and architecture. The second Part examines how Buddhism as it developed in stature as a religious system and spread within and outside the Indian Subcontinent promoted aesthetic creativity in practically every domain of art. Especially noted is how Mahayana Buddhism had a popular appeal and played a very significant role in this process. The third Part is a brief but extensive survey of the marvels and masterpieces of the vast Buddhist cultural heritage.

    Chapter Eight Monuments, Mediums & the Municipality: Constructing

    Chapter Eight Monuments, Mediums & the Municipality: Constructing Chineseness and Sacred Space in Hat Yai “No need to go to Phuket, no need to go to Trang.” A PA laden pickup repeatedly blared out this message as it followed a parade of palanquin‐ borne deities and spirit mediums through the streets of Hat Yai during the 2001 Vegetarian Festival, a ritual event which has long been practised by the Chinese of peninsular Southeast Asia but has in recent years been gaining wider popularity. The procession was organised by the Thep Na Ja shrine and run by a native of Phuket who had moved to Hat Yai several years before. It featured the kinds of spectacular self‐mortification and other ‘superhuman’ feats performed by spirit mediums that have become the notorious hallmarks of the Vegetarian Festivals held in Phuket and Trang. Hat Yai, despite its overwhelmingly Chinese population and character, has no such long association with the Festival. In fact such spectacular public displays can only be traced back a few years. Nonetheless, the PA announcement listed the full gamut of ritual performances that would take place: bladed‐bridge and ladder climbing, bathing in boiling oil, walking on hot coals, piercing and other forms of self‐mortification. While such performances are inherently ‘theatrical’ in nature, they are also aspects of worship. This announcement thus promised more than an upcoming spectacle; it also announced a new location for the authentic worship of the Nine Emperor Gods, the deities at the centre of the Festival. Such activity set Hat Yai in direct competition with the established Festivals of Phuket and Trang, promising a complete and authentic transplantation of the Festival experience, both sensory and sacred, to this new location.

    ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank all the people who have helped and inspired me during my Business Improvement Project. Especially I want to say thank you to my advisor, Prof. Adiporn Khemarangsan for her guidance during my research and study on “The Development of Vat Phou Package Related to Cultural Tourism (case study)”. Her perpetual energy and enthusiasm in research had motivated all her followers, including me. In addition, she was always accessible and willing to help her students with their research. I was delighted to interact with Professor Daniel G.Fuchs by attending his classes and having him as my co-advisor. Furthermore, Mr.Robert Mckenzie and Professor Christophe Mercier always have been a constant source of encouragement during my graduate studies. They are always mindful of my goals and encouraged me in carrying out this project work. In particular, I would like to thank Ms. Duanrachada Chimpalee for hiring me as an intern at Mekong Cruises Company Services. The associated experience broadened my perspective on the practical aspects in the tourism industry. My deepest gratitude goes to my family for their unflagging love and support throughout my learning experience; this business improvement project is simply impossible without their support and encouragements.
