Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich Theologie - Vergleichende Religionswissenschaft, Universität zu Köln, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Der Buddhismus ist ohne Frage ein großes Thema, mit dem unzählige Bücher gefüllt werden können. Ich habe mich entschieden, in dieser Arbeit vor allem die Überlieferung über das Leben des historischen Buddha sowie dessen Lehre zu behandeln. Zum besseren Verständnis der Situation in Indien zur Zeit des historischen Buddha habe ich vorweg ein Kapitel zu eben diesem Thema gesetzt. Um das Leben des historischen Buddha und seine Lehre in ihrer Komplexität verständlich und ausführlich darzulegen, ohne dabei den Rahmen einer Hausarbeit zu sprengen, habe ich mich entschieden, mich mit weiteren Themen wie den unterschiedlichen Richtungen des Buddhismus oder seinen Anhängern in dieser Arbeit nicht zu beschäftigen. Ich denke, meine Arbeit kann als Einführung in die Lehre des Buddhismus gesehen werden, die vorweg das überlieferte Leben des historischen Buddha in seiner Zeit ausführlich darstellt.

Book Synopsis Buddha’s Life and Teaching by : Hermann Beckh
Download or read book Buddha’s Life and Teaching written by Hermann Beckh and published by Temple Lodge Publishing. This book was released on 2019-04-25 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘The book before us here is not some kind of dusty text or just another undergraduate-level introduction to Buddhism. It is nothing less than the still, clear, luminous centre of a hurricane...’ – Neil Franklin (from the Foreword) Although this classic text is more than one hundred years’ old, its accurate scholarship, detailed research and lucid presentation make it no less relevant today than when it was first published. In 1916, Hermann Beckh was one of a handful of leading European authorities on Buddhist texts, reading Tibetan, Sanskrit and Pali fluently. At the same time, he was a member of the Anthroposophical Society and its Esoteric Section. In consequence, Beckh’s seminal study on Buddhism has an entirely unique quality. It invites the reader to engage freely with the Buddhist Path, although in many ways re-expressed and renewed by Rudolf Steiner, whilst discovering its universal validity through the original texts. For the most part, Beckh allows these texts to speak for themselves, as eloquently now as ever. In the first section, Beckh presents Gautama Buddha’s life from legend and history. The second part of the book details the ‘general viewpoints’ of Buddhist teaching and the individual stages of the Buddhist Path, including meditation to ever higher levels. Both sections are expertly collated out of a wide knowledge of the primary sources. To this academic understanding, Beckh sheds new light on the subject from his own research, based on highly-trained meditation guided by Rudolf Steiner (with whom he carried out a long-lasting correspondence that has only recently been uncovered). Dr Katrin Binder has rendered the complete German text in a natural English idiom with great accuracy and professional insight, thereby making this timeless book available to English readers for the first time in a lucid translation. New notes and an updated bibliography are also featured.
Book Synopsis Buddhism in the Shadow of Brahmanism by : Johannes Bronkhorst
Download or read book Buddhism in the Shadow of Brahmanism written by Johannes Bronkhorst and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2011-02-14 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many centuries Buddhism and Brahmanism coexisted in the Indian subcontinent. This book concentrates on the way in which the two, after an initial period of relative independence, confronted each other, both in and around the royal courts and in society at large. In this confrontation, Buddhism was strong in philosophical debate, but could not compete with Brahmanism in the services it could provide to the centres of political power, primarily ritual protection and practical advice. Buddhism evolved in both areas, providing practical advice to lay people and rulers from early Mahayana onward, and ritual protection in its Tantric developments. Some of these developments came too late, though, and could not prevent the disappearance of Buddhism from the subcontinent.
Book Synopsis Buddhavacana and Dei Verbum by : Michael Fuss
Download or read book Buddhavacana and Dei Verbum written by Michael Fuss and published by BRILL. This book was released on 1991 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenged by the teaching of Vatican II about the "seeds of the Word" in non-Christian religions, this book investigates the sacred character of the "Saddharmapu arika S?tra" and its relation to the fundamental theological category of scriptural inspiration. In applying the methods of modern exegesis, the "S?tra" in its ingenious composition is disclosed as a religious drama about the inspirational experience of the Buddha. The draft of a theology of inspiration along the guide lines of the Dogmatic Constitution Dei Verbum of Vatican II elaborates a 'christology of the Word' as its core, which allows an extension of inspiration in analogical manner to non-Biblical scriptures. The contrast of Christ, the "Word incarnate," and Buddha, the "Inspired One," offers a new contribution to an inter- religious dialogue.
Download or read book Loss and Hope written by Peter Admirand and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2014-05-22 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the spiritual consequences of abuse and trauma? Where is God? How and why does such senseless suffering occur? What is the relationship between loss and hope? What are the benefits of examining loss and hope from an interreligious focus? These are some of the questions addressed in this volume, written by leading international scholars and which also includes contributions by those who have suffered: survivors of genocide and state terror. Case studies of loss and hope from around the world are discussed, including from the United States, Ireland, Sri Lanka, India, Iran, Iraq, Argentina, China, and Chile. Religions examined include Buddhism, Islam, Christianity, Judaism and Hinduism. Three interconnected lenses are used to explore new perspectives on loss and hope: survivors and victims' testimony; interfaith studies; and ethical approaches. The book highlights the need for responses to atrocity that transcend differences within gender, class, religion, race and ethnicity. The authors stress the need for partnership and dialogue from an interfaith perspective, and while neither hiding not unduly minimizing the extent of losses in the world, attempt to establish an ethics of hope in the face of destabilizing losses in the realms of human rights and post-conflict resolution. Loss and Hope is the first book to bring together this high level and diversity of scholars living and working all over the world from different faith, cultural and ethnic backgrounds examining the universal themes of loss and hope.

Book Synopsis Buddhist Teaching in India by : Johannes Bronkhorst
Download or read book Buddhist Teaching in India written by Johannes Bronkhorst and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-02-08 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The earliest records we have today of what the Buddha said were written down several centuries after his death, and the body of teachings attributed to him continued to evolve in India for centuries afterward across a shifting cultural and political landscape. As one tradition within a diverse religious milieu that included even the Greek kingdoms of northwestern India, Buddhism had many opportunities to both influence and be influenced by competing schools of thought. Even within Buddhism, a proliferation of interpretive traditions produced a dynamic intellectual climate. Johannes Bronkhorst here tracks the development of Buddhist teachings both within the larger Indian context and among Buddhism's many schools, shedding light on the sources and trajectory of such ideas as dharma theory, emptiness, the bodhisattva ideal, buddha nature, formal logic, and idealism. In these pages, we discover the roots of the doctrinal debates that have animated the Buddhist tradition up until the present day.
Book Synopsis Kaiser, Christ, and Canaan by : Paul Michael Kurtz
Download or read book Kaiser, Christ, and Canaan written by Paul Michael Kurtz and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2018-10-29 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Back cover: What did biblical scholars, theologians, orientalists, philologists, and ancient historians of the 19th century consider "religion" and "history" to be? How did they understand these conceptual categories, and why did they study them in the manner they did? Analyzing the figures of Julius Wellhausen and Hermann Gunkel, Paul Michael Kurtz examines the historiography of ancient Israel in the German Empire through the prism of religion, as a structuring framework not only for writings on the past but also for the writers of that past themselves.

Book Synopsis Bones, Stones, and Buddhist Monks by : Gregory Schopen
Download or read book Bones, Stones, and Buddhist Monks written by Gregory Schopen and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume provides an essential foundation for a social history of Indian Buddhist monasticism. Challenging the popular stereotype that represented the accumulation of merit as the domain of the layperson while monks concerned themselves with more sophisticated realms of doctrine and meditation, Professor Schopen problematizes many assumptions about the lay-monastic distinction by demonstrating that monks and nuns, both the scholastic elites and the less learned, participated actively in a wide range of ritual practices and institutions that have heretofore been judged 'popular,' from the accumulation and transfer of merit; to the care of deceased relatives; to serving as sponsors and donors, rather than always the recipients, of gifts; to (possibly) the coining of counterfeit currency. Taken together, the studies contained in this volume represent the basis for a new historiography of Buddhism, not only for their critique of many the idées reçues of Buddhist Studies but for the compelling connections they draw between apparently disparate details.

Download or read book The Nay Science written by Vishwa Adluri and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nay Science offers a new perspective on the problem of scientific method in the human sciences. Taking German Indological scholarship on the Mahabharata and the Bhagavadgita as their example, Adluri and Bagchee develop a critique of the modern valorization of method over truth in the humanities. The authors show how, from its origins in eighteenth-century Neo-Protestantism onwards, the critical method was used as a way of making theological claims against rival philosophical and/or religious traditions. Via discussions of German Romanticism, the pantheism controversy, scientific positivism, and empiricism, they show how theological concerns dominated German scholarship on the Indian texts. Indology functions as a test case for wider concerns: the rise of historicism, the displacement of philosophical concerns from thinking, and the belief in the ability of a technical method to produce truth. Based on the historical evidence of the first part of the book, Adluri and Bagchee make a case in the second part for going beyond both the critical pretensions of modern academic scholarship and the objections of its post-structuralist or post-Orientalist critics. By contrasting German Indology with Plato's concern for virtue and Gandhi's focus on praxis, the authors argue for a conception of the humanities as a dialogue between the ancients and moderns and between eastern and western cultures.
