Download or read book A Dictionary of Chinese Buddhist Terms written by William Edward Soothill and published by Motilal Banarsidass Publ.. This book was released on 1977 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is an outstanding work for which two eminent scholars of Chinese Buddhism separated by 2000 miles of ocean collaborated for complete ten years during which the manuscript crossed the Atlantic four times. The authors aim has been to provide a key for the student with which to unlock a closed door and which does serve to reveal the riches of the great Buddhist thesaurus in China. In the absence of a dictionary of Chinese Buddhist Terms it was small wonder that the translation of Chinese texts has made little progress important thought these are to the understanding of Mahayana buddhism especially in its Far Eastern development.

The main entries offer both a brief definition and a substantial short essay on the broader meaning and significance of the term covered. Extensive cross-references allow readers to find related terms and concepts. An appendix of Buddhist lists (for example, the four noble truths and the thirty-two marks of the Buddha), a timeline, six maps, and two diagrams are also included. Written and edited by two of today's most eminent scholars of Buddhism, and more than a decade in the making, this landmark work is an essential reference for every student, scholar, or practitioner of Buddhism and for anyone else interested in Asian religion, history, or philosophy.

Book Synopsis A Dictionary of Chinese Buddhist Terms by : Lewis Hodous
Download or read book A Dictionary of Chinese Buddhist Terms written by Lewis Hodous and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-12-18 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This invaluable interpretive tool, first published in 1937, is now available for the first time in a paperback edition specially aimed at students of Chinese Buddhism. Those who have endeavoured to read Chinese texts apart from the apprehension of a Sanskrit background have generally made a fallacious interpretation, for the Buddhist canon is basically translation, or analogous to translation. In consequence, a large number of terms existing are employed approximately to connote imported ideas, as the various Chinese translators understood those ideas. Various translators invented different terms; and, even when the same term was finally adopted, its connotation varied, sometimes widely, from the Chinese term of phrase as normally used by the Chinese. For instance, klésa undoubtedly has a meaning in Sanskrit similar to that of, i.e. affliction, distress, trouble. In Buddhism affliction (or, as it may be understood from Chinese, the afflicters, distressers, troublers) means passions and illusions; and consequently fan-nao in Buddhist phraseology has acquired this technical connotation of the passions and illusions. Many terms of a similar character are noted in the body of this work. Consequent partly on this use of ordinary terms, even a well-educated Chinese without a knowledge of the technical equivalents finds himself unable to understand their implications.

Book Synopsis Buddhist Dictionary by : Nyanatiloka Thera
Download or read book Buddhist Dictionary written by Nyanatiloka Thera and published by Pariyatti. This book was released on 2019-10-28 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains translations of important Pali words and meditation terms arranged in alphabetical order (Roman-script - normal English); definitions include a longer discussion of certain complex concepts and source references. There are translations of both English and Pali words mixed together, making it easy to look up important Pali words or terms, or finding them when knowing only the English equivalent. "This sixth revised edition is a cooperative effort of the BPS and Pariyatti. In this edition the abbreviation scheme and reference systems have been modernised. Moreover, some of the “source notes”—made in an age when digital search tools were not available, and originally located in an appendix—have been revised by me in order to accurately reflect the first occurrences of terms and to avoid duplication of statements already found in the entries. The British spelling of words has been retained." —Nyanatusita Kandy, Sri Lanka September 2017.

Book Synopsis 中英人間佛教詞彙選（The Glossary of HUMANISTIC BUDDHISM） by : 妙光法師（Ven. Miao Guang）
Download or read book 中英人間佛教詞彙選（The Glossary of HUMANISTIC BUDDHISM） written by 妙光法師（Ven. Miao Guang） and published by 佛光文化事業有限公司. This book was released on 2023-08-01 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fo Guang Shan Buddhist Order and Buddha’s Light International Association founded by Venerable Master Hsing Yun, two of the world’s largest Buddhist organizations, are dedicated to the spread of Humanistic Buddhism, a 21st century form of Buddhism aimed at bettering this world and human life by following the Buddha’s teachings. Throughout the past 50 years, tremendous progress has been made in the circles of Chinese-speaking communities, while steady efforts are made in rendering this vast amount of Buddhist corpus into English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and some twenty other languages. As said, “To learn a new language is take on a new culture, a new world.” Further difficulties arise when it comes to learning Buddhism in a new language, still a world that awaits the light of wisdom and experience to be shed. Any aspiring translator daring to take on this daunting task of translating Buddhist texts into their own language would no doubt appreciate as much help as they can obtain. The present Glossary of Humanistic Buddhism 《中英人間佛教詞彙選》 is a fully revised and expanded version of the Standardized FGS Names and Terms created by the International Buddhist Progress Society (IBPS) in 2005, and approved by the FGS Board of Directors. Additional entries have been compiled from all English publications under Fo Guang Shan’s cultural undertakings, such as: Fo Guang Cultural Enterprise, Fo Guang Shan International Translation Center, Buddha’s Light Publications, Fo Guang Shan Institute of Humanistic Buddhism, and Buddha’s Light International Association (BLIA). The editorial team hopes this volume will shed light on the many references to Fo Guang Shan and BLIA terms, historical events, persons, places, publications, and frequently used Buddhist terminology, concepts, sutra titles, and quotes that appear in publications by Fo Guang Shan, as well as works of Venerable Master Hsing Yun. Entries are selected, based on the interest and request by translators at Fo Guang Shan and BLIA, in hopes that this volume assist in their readings of the Complete Works of Venerable Master Hsing Yun, understanding of vernacular Buddhist expressions, and translation works of Humanistic Buddhism. This edition contains some 5,000 entries divided into the following basic categories: 1) Terminology, 2) Building, 3) Event, 4) Department, 5) Publication, and 6) Venerable Master Hsing Yun’s One-Stroke Calligraphy, detailed further by the abbreviations listed on page viii. Suggestions and comments by perceptive readers will be of vital interest and value for the amendments of future editions. Readers are encouraged to write to the editorial team for the improvements of future editions. An online version of the glossary is available at: fgsihb.org/dictionary The editorial team would like to dedicate this edition of the Glossary of Humanistic Buddhism to all experienced and aspiring translators as well as interpreters who have paved the way for the global dissemination of Humanistic Buddhism, the Buddhism as taught by the Buddha for human beings, to purify and make this world virtuous and beautiful.
Book Synopsis Buddhist Dictionary by : Nyanaponika
Download or read book Buddhist Dictionary written by Nyanaponika and published by . This book was released on 2021-03 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This highly important book translates and clearly explains foundational Pali terms that are vital to a complete understanding of Buddhist philosophy and religion. It is an accurate, detailed, and authentic Buddhist dictionary of doctrinal terms from the Pali Canon and its Commentaries. It is of value for understanding the early Buddhist tradition and the Theravada tradition which grew out of it, but does not cover the later Buddhist traditions. The author, Nyanatiloka, was a German monk who compiled the book while interned in India by the British during World War II. Since then, it has been enlarged and revised-this being the third revised and enlarged edition. The main entries are listed under the Pali terms, and the English expressions commonly used are explained and included. Original Pali words are often used in Buddhist texts and remain untranslated, since writers often did not know their accurate meanings. Therefore, this book is widely known as an essential work for all serious students of Buddhism.
