Solo a lui i dolori che subisce danno la vista”.3 If pain really is this anexperience in which man questions himself and acquires the wisdom to free himself from the state of suffering it is clear why suffering “seems to be particularly essential to the nature of man […] Suffering seems to belong to man’s 1 “Only humanity can draw the strength to redeem itself from the circle of life through the vision of pain”. Giuseppe De Lorenzo (Lagonegro 1871-Naples 1957) was a geologist, a translator of Buddhist texts and Schopenhauer, and a great reader of Shakespeare, Byron and Leopardi.

  • P. Vasundhara Rao.Cdr
    ORIGINAL ARTICLE ISSN:-2231-5063 Golden Research Thoughts P. Vasundhara Rao Abstract:- Literature reflects the thinking and beliefs of the concerned folk. Some German writers came in contact with Ancient Indian Literature. They were influenced by the Indian Philosophy, especially, Buddhism. German Philosopher Arther Schopenhauer, was very much influenced by the Philosophy of Buddhism. He made the ancient Indian Literature accessible to the German people. Many other authors and philosophers were influenced by Schopenhauer. The famous German Indologist, Friedrich Max Muller has also done a great work, as far as the contact between India and Germany is concerned. He has translated “Sacred Books of the East”. INDIAN PHILOSOPHY IN GERMAN WRITINGS Some other German authors were also influenced by Indian Philosophy, the traces of which can be found in their writings. Paul Deussen was a great scholar of Sanskrit. He wrote “Allgemeine Geschichte der Philosophie (General History of the Philosophy). Friedrich Nieztsche studied works of Schopenhauer in detail. He is one of the first existentialist Philosophers. Karl Eugen Neuman was the first who translated texts from Pali into German. Hermann Hesse was also influenced by Buddhism. His famous novel Siddhartha is set in India. It is about the spiritual journey of a man (Siddhartha) during the time of Gautam Buddha. Indology is today a subject in 13 Universities in Germany. Keywords: Indian Philosophy, Germany, Indology, translation, Buddhism, Upanishads.specialization. www.aygrt.isrj.org INDIAN PHILOSOPHY IN GERMAN WRITINGS INTRODUCTION Learning a new language opens the doors of a different culture, of the philosophy and thinking of that particular society. How true it is in case of Indian philosophy having traveled to Germany years ago.

  • Scattered Thoughts on Trauma and Memory*
    Scattered thoughts on trauma and memory* ** Paolo Giuganino Abstract. This paper examines, from a personal and clinician's perspective, the interrelation between trauma and memory. The author recalls his autobiographical memories and experiences on this two concepts by linking them to other authors thoughts. On the theme of trauma, the author underlines how the Holocaust- Shoah has been the trauma par excellence of the twentieth century by quoting several writing starting from Rudolf Höss’s memoirs, Nazi lieutenant colonel of Auschwitz, to the same book’s foreword written by Primo Levi, as well as many other authors such as Vasilij Grossman and Amos Oz. The author stresses the distortion of German language operated by Nazism and highlights the role played by the occult, mythological and mystical traditions in structuring the Third Reich,particularly in the SS organization system and pursuit for a pure “Aryan race”. Moreover, the author highlights how Ferenczi's contributions added to the developments of the concept of trauma through Luis Martin-Cabré exploration and detailed study of the author’s psychoanalytic thought. Keywords: Trauma, memory, testimony, Holocaust, Shoah, survivors, state violence, forgiveness, Höss, Primo Levi, Karl Jaspers, Martin Heidegger, Vasilij Grossman, Amos Oz, Ferenczi, Freud, Luis-Martin Cabré.

  • Japanese Buddhism in Austria
    Journal of Religion in Japan 10 (2021) 222–242 brill.com/jrj Japanese Buddhism in Austria Lukas Pokorny | orcid: 0000-0002-3498-0612 University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria [email protected] Abstract Drawing on archival research and interview data, this paper discusses the historical development as well as the present configuration of the Japanese Buddhist panorama in Austria, which includes Zen, Pure Land, and Nichiren Buddhism. It traces the early beginnings, highlights the key stages and activities in the expansion process, and sheds light on both denominational complexity and international entanglement. Fifteen years before any other European country (Portugal in 1998; Italy in 2000), Austria for- mally acknowledged Buddhism as a legally recognised religious society in 1983. Hence, the paper also explores the larger organisational context of the Österreichische Bud- dhistische Religionsgesellschaft (Austrian Buddhist Religious Society) with a focus on its Japanese Buddhist actors. Additionally, it briefly outlines the non-Buddhist Japanese religious landscape in Austria. Keywords Japanese Buddhism – Austria – Zen – Nichirenism – Pure Land Buddhism 1 A Brief Historical Panorama The humble beginnings of Buddhism in Austria go back to Vienna-based Karl Eugen Neumann (1865–1915), who, inspired by his readings of Arthur Schopen- hauer (1788–1860), like many others after him, turned to Buddhism in 1884. A trained Indologist with a doctoral degree from the University of Leipzig (1891), his translations from the Pāli Canon posthumously gained seminal sta- tus within the nascent Austrian Buddhist community over the next decades. His knowledge of (Indian) Mahāyāna thought was sparse and his assessment thereof was polemically negative (Hecker 1986: 109–111).
