Book Synopsis Der Buddhismus in Süd- und Südostasien by : Heinz Bechert
Download or read book Der Buddhismus in Süd- und Südostasien written by Heinz Bechert and published by Kohlhammer Verlag. This book was released on 2013-01-31 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Der Buddhismus hat sich im Laufe seiner langen Geschichte über den größten Teil von Süd-, Südost-, Zentral- und Ostasien ausgebreitet und ist bis heute in vielen Ländern Asiens die bedeutendste Religion geblieben. In dieser Vielfalt von Kulturen hat sich der Buddhismus dank seiner großen Anpassungsfähigkeit entwickeln und erhalten können. So sucht man an der Oberfläche oft mit Mühe die Einheitlichkeit, die sich in Christentum und Islam in Grundzügen findet. Gleichwohl gibt es so etwas wie eine "Welt des Buddhismus", in der gemeinsame Grundsätze Geltung haben. Bechert stellt dies am Beispiel des Theravada-Buddhismus mit seinen Entwicklungen von den Anfängen bis in die Gegenwart meisterlich dar. Der vorliegende Text basiert auf einer in den Jahren 2004 und 2005 von Heinz Bechert an der Universität Wien gehaltenen Vorlesung, bearbeitet und herausgegeben von Ernst Steinkellner.
Book Synopsis Buddhism and Law by : Rebecca Redwood French
Download or read book Buddhism and Law written by Rebecca Redwood French and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-28 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the first comprehensive study of Buddhism and law in Asia, this interdisciplinary volume challenges the concept of Buddhism as an apolitical religion without implications for law. Buddhism and Law draws on the expertise of the foremost scholars in Buddhist studies and in law to trace the legal aspects of the religion from the time of the Buddha to the present. In some cases, Buddhism provided the crucial architecture for legal ideologies and secular law codes, while in other cases it had to contend with a pre-existing legal system, to which it added a new layer of complexity. The wide-ranging studies in this book reveal a diversity of relationships between Buddhist monastic codes and secular legal systems in terms of substantive rules, factoring, and ritual practices. This volume will be an essential resource for all students and teachers in Buddhist studies, law and religion, and comparative law.

Engaged Buddhism in the West illuminates the evolution of this new chapter in the Buddhist tradition - including its history, leadership, and teachings - and addresses issues such as violence and peace, race and gender, homelessness, prisons, and the environment. Eighteen new studies explore the activism of renowned leaders and organizations, such as Thich Nhat Hanh, Bernard Glassman, Joanna Macy, the Buddhist Peace Fellowship, and the Free Tibet Movement, and the emergence of a new Buddhism in North America, Europe, South Africa, and Australia.
Book Synopsis Rationalism, Religion, and Domination by : Wolfgang Schluchter
Download or read book Rationalism, Religion, and Domination written by Wolfgang Schluchter and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1989-01-01 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Publication of this material in English should be a major event in American Weber studies. Together with Economy and Society, Weber's comparative studies in the sociology of religion represent not only his own central contribution to theoretical sociology, but also one of the most ambitious and fruitful research programs in the history of modern social theory. Schluchter analyzes both of these projects and shows how they are related. There is nothing in the Anglo-American literature on Weber's sociology of religion that can match the rigor and thoroughness of these essays. They should raise the standards of scholarly debate concerning both the general theoretical significance and the details of Weber's sociology of religion."--Guy Oakes, Monmouth University "There is next to nothing in the field of Weber interpretation that reaches the superior grasp and breadth of knowledge displayed in these essays. Exciting and illuminating, they should be essential reading for anyone interested in comparative religion and domination."--Thomas Burger, Southern Illinois University

Book Synopsis Buddhism and Medicine in Japan by : Katja Triplett
Download or read book Buddhism and Medicine in Japan written by Katja Triplett and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-11-18 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book demonstrates the close link between medicine and Buddhism in early and medieval Japan. It may seem difficult to think of Japanese Buddhism as being linked to the realm of medical practices since religious healing is usually thought to be restricted to prayers for divine intervention. There is a surprising lack of scholarship regarding medicinal practices in Japanese Buddhism although an overwhelming amount of primary sources proves otherwise. A careful re-reading of well-known materials from a study-of-religions perspective, together with in some cases a first-time exploration of manuscripts and prints, opens new views on an understudied field. The book presents a topical survey and comprises chapters on treating sight-related diseases, women’s health, plant-based materica medica and medicinal gardens, and finally horse medicine to include veterinary knowledge. Terminological problems faced in working on this material – such as ‘religious’ or ‘magical healing’ as opposed to ‘secular medicine’ – are assessed. The book suggests focusing more on the plural nature of the Japanese healing system as encountered in the primary sources and reconsidering the use of categories from the European intellectual tradition.
Book Synopsis Confronting Christianity by : Sven Trakulhun
Download or read book Confronting Christianity written by Sven Trakulhun and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2024-07-31 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Confronting Christianity explores the history of religious encounters between Christian missionaries and Thai Buddhists during the nineteenth century, a period of Western imperialism in Southeast Asia that fundamentally transformed Siamese society and religious institutions. From about 1830 onwards, discussions on religion became a central arena of conflict between rival regimes of knowledge in Thailand, confronting traditional Buddhist views on nature and man’s existence with the ideals and practices of science and rationalism coming from the West. Protestant missionaries, mostly from the United States, became important brokers of knowledge, as one of their strengths was the ability to offer religion in tandem with modern science and technology. Historian Sven Trakulhun explains why the intrusion of evangelical Christianity strengthened the position of Theravāda Buddhism rather than undermining people’s belief in traditional forms of worship. Based on a wide range of Thai and Western primary sources, the volume describes how Christian missionaries unwittingly contributed to the making of what scholars of Buddhism have later rendered as “Buddhist modernism.” In response to Christian assaults on the traditional cosmology, Buddhist reformers fashioned an orthodox version of Buddhism that acknowledged the findings of modern science and at the same time deemed even more rational than Christianity. This new orthodoxy became a major source of moral authority for Thai kings and an important ideology for pushing their claims for religious leadership in the Theravāda Buddhist world. Trakulhun offers a thorough study of the encounter between Christianity and Buddhism and places the history of Siamese Theravāda Buddhism within the broad context of global intellectual history.

Book Synopsis Herrschergenealogie und religiöses Patronat by : Annette Schmiedchen
Download or read book Herrschergenealogie und religiöses Patronat written by Annette Schmiedchen and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-04-07 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Herrschergenealogie und religiöses Patronat, Annette Schmiedchen analyses some 250 inscriptions from the time of the early medieval royal dynasties of the Rāṣṭrakūṭas, Śilāhāras, and Yādavas, who reigned in central India from the 8th to the 13th centuries. The information derived from copper-plate charters and stone inscriptions primarily consists of genealogies of the ruling kings as well as of data regarding their religious foundations and endowments and the donations of other members of society. Annette Schmiedchen shows how genealogical accounts were modified to legitimize individual claims to power, and she convincingly proves that the 10th and 11th centuries were a period of religious change, which witnessed a shift in patronage patterns and a closer link between Vedic Brahmanism and Hindu temple worship.

Book Synopsis Indische Kultur im Kontext by : Klaus Mylius
Download or read book Indische Kultur im Kontext written by Klaus Mylius and published by Otto Harrassowitz Verlag. This book was released on 2005 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indische Kultur im Kontext ist eine Festschrift zum 75. Geburtstag des international bekannten Indologen Klaus Mylius. Der Band enthalt Beitrage von erstrangigen Vertretern der Indologie aus den USA, Japan, der Schweiz, Deutschland, Belgien, Ungarn, Finnland und Indien. Weitere Artikel, die Themen aus anderen Kulturen mit Bezugen zu Indien behandeln, wurden von Freunden und Weggefahrten des Jubilars verfasst. Das Spektrum der Beitrage spiegelt das umfangreiche Schaffen von Klaus Mylius wider. Mehrere Autoren behandeln Rituale und Texte des altindischen Veda, die uber viele Jahrzehnte sein Hauptforschungsgebiet bildeten. Andere Artikel beschaftigen sich mit religions-, literatur- und wissenschaftsgeschichtlichen Themen der Indologie. Die nichtindologischen Themen, die grosstenteils Bezuge zu Indien haben, behandeln etwa chinesische Legenden, die europaische Aufklarung oder das Bild der Venus in der Kunstgeschichte. Insgesamt demonstriert der Band eine Idee, die Klaus Mylius selbst immer verfolgt hat: Die adaquate Interpretation indischer Texte kann nur bei Beachtung der jeweiligen - indischen und ausserindischen - Kontexte gelingen.
