  • Engaged Buddhism: Buddhist Liberation Movements in Asia
    EEnnggaaggeedd BBuuddddhhiissmm 1 Buddhism ― a Balancing Factor for Current World Developments Buddhism ― a Balancing Factor for Current World Developments By Venerable Dhammavamso1 oday, the world may seem at its zenith of development. In spite of their Tdifferent forms in different countries and regions, current world developments have a common point: the West (since the Renaissance) and the East (since the past century) have developed along materialistic lines. As a result, various things have been replaced with others in both the environmental and human fields. For the past decades some Buddhist scholars, in the face of so many social changes, have attempted to reassess the role of Buddhism in the new situation of the world. Hence, a question is raised as to whether traditional Buddhism, which has shaped the civilization of many peoples in the East for centuries, may remain adaptive and fluid in the modern era. Generally speaking, there are two discernible different tendencies among those scholars. Some scholars such as Thich Nhat Hanh, Walpola Rahula, Sulak Sivaraksa, H.H. the Dalai Lama, Robert Thurman, and so on, maintain that there remains a continuity between Buddhism today and Buddhism of the past. Although the world is changing rapidly with its various developments, humanity’s fundamental sufferings and the best ways of dealing with them remain the same as what are already explicitly formulated in most Buddhist teachings. Therefore, Buddhism today, whatever new forms it may take on, is essentially contiguous with its tradition. In the words of Sivaraksa: “To be of help we must become more selfless and less selfish.

Sept 1991 Please refer Graphical Image No: V1N3.1.1 B.D.C.(U) Ltd Dhamma Chakra Logo & Woodblock print of Long Life Endless Knot EDITORIAL Towards the preservation of the Sangha With the Rainy Season upon us again, we are delighted a Venerable Mahathero Bhikkhu has agreed to accept our Directors' invitation to reside at this Centre for this time. Such events depend on prior causes. This Australian born Editor is well content to be living in a Centre where good causes arise within the hearts of Members. These Members labour to sustain the necessary infrastructure conditions at this place to make it a suitable location for the Sangha to develop their Buddhist Practice during the Rainy Season. With the approach of the year 2000 C.E., it is sobering to consider the changes that have occurred and are occurring this century in the faring of the Sangha's position in many other Countries. When the overall world situation is reviewed over the last century there are many apparent gains. One great gain is the availability of Buddhist texts in many languages. As the Venerable Bhikkhu Nanamoli noted, the Jesuit missionary, Filippo Desideri, brought back a long and accurate account both of the Buddha's life and his doctrine from Tibet in the first quarter of the l8th. century: it remained unpublished for two hundred years. Other accounts fared likewise. By contrast, China, since the invention of printing under the Sung (960-1127), had a long history of timely Buddhist publication.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY MEETING OF IBC Samrat Ashok Jayanti Samaroh Samrat Ashok Jayanti Samroh being organized by the Asoka Mission, in collaboration with the International Buddhist Confederation (IBC), in New Delhi on 14 April 2017. The celebration was held in the premises of the Asoka Mission, Mehrauli, New Delhi, that marked the birth anniversary of Emperor Ashok, the only king in history to have relinquished warfare and killing. Had this not happened, and had the great king not adopted the Dhamma, humankind would not have been exposed to Buddha‟s eternal message of love, peace, oneness and compassion. On this occasion Ven. Lama Lobzang, President of Asoka Mission and Secretary General, IBC welcomed the Chief Guest Shri Upendra Kushwaha, Honourable Minister of State for Human Resource Development, Government of India. The Samrat Ashok Jayanti Samaroh was attended by more than 1000 devotees of Sakyamuni Buddha and admirers of Samrat Ashok. Among the communities that were present in large numbers to celebrate this occasion, the most prominent were the Shakya and Maurya communities. The former traces its lineage to the clan of Buddha Sakyamuni himself, while the latter traces its ancestry back to the Maurya clan to which Emperor Ashok belonged. Ven Lama Lobzang, President of Asoka Mission and Secretary General, IBC welcomed the Chief Guest Shri Upendra Kushwaha, Honourable Minister of State for Human Resource Development, Government of India.
