Reis-Habito: Maria-Kannon: Mary in Buddhist Guise MARIA-KANNON: THE MOTHER OF GOD IN BUDDIDST GUISE Maria Reis-Habito, Ph.D.* Introduction On March 17, 1865, Father Petitjean, a French missionary in Japan, saw a group of about fifteen people-women, men and children-approach the church that he had built in Nagasaki. It was one of the first churches to be established inJapan since the persecution of Christians almost three hundred years ear­ lier at the beginning of the Edo Period (1600-1868). Father Petitjean opened the church and then knelt at the altar. Three middle-aged women approached him, knelt beside him, and one of them whispered: "All of us have the same heart as you."

They also manage their armies- comprising of troops infantrymen who fight on foot, cavalrymen who fight on horseback, charioteers who fight using horse-drawn chariots, artillerymen who use long-ranged artillery, and sailors and marines who fight using wooden ships- through actions such as recruitment, collection of food and supplies, and training exercises to ensure that their soldiers are well-trained, well-fed, well-armed, and well-supplied.

  • A Cantonese Opera Based on a Midsummer Night's Dream
    A Dream in Fantasia — A Cantonese Opera Based on A Midsummer Night's Dream Loretta Ling Yeung, Hong Kong and Augusta, Georgia USA Abstract This review discusses an appropriation of A Midsummer Night's Dream by the Hong Kong Young Talent Cantonese Opera Troupe. While retaining most of Shakespeare's characters and his basic plot structure, the new opera, A Dream in Fantasia, aimed to expand the audience for Cantonese opera. At the same time it proved to be transparently entertaining to its Cantonese audience. A Dream in Fantasia (adapted from William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream), with a new script by Keith Lai. Hong Kong Young Talent Cantonese Opera Troupe. Director, Lee Lung. Cast: Lam Tin-Yao as Linghu Feng (Demetrius); Doris Kwan as Xiahou Jun (Lysander); Lam Tsz-Ching as Yuwen Piaopiao (Hermia); Cheng Nga-Kei as Murong Xiangxiang (Helena); guest artist Kwok Kai-Fai as Crown Prince Gongyang (Oberon); guest artist Leung Wai-Hong as the Crown Princess (Titania); Hong Wah as the Forest Fairy (Puck); Wong Kit-Ching as Shangguan Chan (Peter Quince); Yuen Seen-Ting as Zhuge Zi (Bottom); Keith Lai as Chanyu Xiong 2 Borrowers and Lenders (Egeus); and Wong Po-Hyun as Queen Xuanyuan (Hippolyta). Tsuen Wan City Hall Auditorium, Hong Kong, 14 December 2013. As I enter the theater at the City Hall of Tsuen Wan, a suburb of Hong Kong, the audience — predominantly elderly people and women — is eagerly waiting to watch A Midsummer Night's Dream in a Cantonese version, entitled A Dream in Fantasia (figure 1).1 At stage right, a small Chinese orchestra is about take us to Fairyland, where four confused young lovers will try to find true love, while a group of villagers prepare a show for the Queen's birthday.

In this paper I will focus on another set of narratives which enjoyed great popularity in the Dūnhuáng area during the later Tang and Five Dynasties period, dealing with historical projections concerning the origin and transmission of Buddhism. In this stories, “Auspicious Statues” (ruìxiàng 瑞像) play a key role. These “living” statues were thought to have moved from Indian monasteries to Khotan and other regions, serving as agents of the transmission of the Dharma in these areas. Besides reflecting religious key concern during that period, the historical narratives on the spread of Buddhism also give witness to the close diplomatic and family relations between Dunhuang and the Kingdom of Khotan during that period. KEY WORDS Mogao caves; Auspicious Statues; 瑞像; Khotan; Dunhuang; Buddhist narratives; transmission of Buddhism; localization of Buddhism; Oxhead Mountain; 牛頭山 1 This paper was presented at the workshop “Ancient Central Asian Networks.
