Buddhist Ethics As A Path: A Defense Of Normative Gradualism, Javier S. Hidalgo
Buddhist Ethics As A Path: A Defense Of Normative Gradualism, Javier S. Hidalgo
Jepson School of Leadership Studies articles, book chapters and other publications
This essay defends a new interpretation of Buddhist ethics: normative gradualism. According to normative gradualism, what we have normative reason to do depends on our stage along the Buddhist spiritual path. The essay shows how normative gradualism can justify distinctive features of Buddhist ethics and reconcile consequentialist and eudaimonistic interpretations of Buddhist moral thought.
If These Walls Could Talk: Restoring 15th Century Paintings In Upper Mustang, Ellie Penner
If These Walls Could Talk: Restoring 15th Century Paintings In Upper Mustang, Ellie Penner
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
The Thupchen monastery, or gompa, in Lomanthang is a site that hosts monumental 15th century Buddhist artworks, which reflect an abundant history from the key trade region of Upper Mustang, Nepal. This site, after neglect and use as a storage space until the 1990s, has seen radical change in the past two decades through an ongoing painting restoration project. Since these restorations began, there have been discrepancies between how scholars and restoration artists believe the work should be done, and how the local community of Lomanthang wants their monastery to be restored. This study aims to examine why the temple …
Vedantic Basis And Praxis Of The Integral Advaita Of Sri Aurobindo, Debashish Banerji
Vedantic Basis And Praxis Of The Integral Advaita Of Sri Aurobindo, Debashish Banerji
Monsoon: South Asian Studies Association Journal
The integral nondualism of Sri Aurobindo can be traced to the great pronouncements (mahāvākya) of the Upanishads and later commentaries. This study examines teachings on the Supermind (vijñāna) and the other four kinds of consciousness that define human reality: Matter (annaṃ), Life (prāṇaḥ), Mind (manaḥ), and Bliss (ānanda). Through Yoga and Tantra, one learns and embodies the pathway to the divine.
Digital And Spatial Humanities Mapping: Eurasia-Pacific Early Trade And Belief Linkages, Igor Sitnikov, David Blundell
Digital And Spatial Humanities Mapping: Eurasia-Pacific Early Trade And Belief Linkages, Igor Sitnikov, David Blundell
Monsoon: South Asian Studies Association Journal
The Eurasia-Pacific is a dynamic region of rapid economic growth, cultural awareness, natural resource exploration, and military buildup. The concept of the region is relatively new, featuring contested vast areas of geo-resource space of numerous cultures and languages. The current findings in anthropology and archaeology and even its more specific subfields such as folklore are important contribution to the understanding of periodic environmental changes and technical innovations were the main forces of transformations in social structures that have determined the mechanisms and levels of cross-cultural trade activity across the region. We have traced early trade and belief linkages across Eurasia-Pacific …
Tusha Hiti: The Origin And Significance Of The Name, Deepak Shimkhada
Tusha Hiti: The Origin And Significance Of The Name, Deepak Shimkhada
Monsoon: South Asian Studies Association Journal
In this article, the author examines the royal bath called Tushā Hiti located in Sūndari Chowk (Beautiful Courtyard) of Pātan Durbar Square, using six different methods of investigation. The question: What is in a name? started the ball of investigation rolling and along the way were added more supporting blocks such as history, iconography, function and purpose, notion of purity and impurity, and finally the hiti in popular culture to get a complete picture of the subject in question.

Ganges In Indian Sculpture And Literature: Mythology And Personification, Nalini Rao
Ganges In Indian Sculpture And Literature: Mythology And Personification, Nalini Rao
Monsoon: South Asian Studies Association Journal
The river Ganges is a symbol of wealth, purity and eternity, and its sacred waters have inspired sages, philosophers, and artists in India who have immortalized its divine imagery. However, it has rarely been understood from a historical point of view, as to how it became so sacred and to view it from a multi-dimensional and interdisciplinary perspective with an accumulation of layers of historical thought and practices, provides a rationale for the living practices around the river. The paper explores the evolution of the concept of sacredness and eternity of River Ganges through art- historical and archaeological evidence. It …
Buddhist Modernism In The Philippines: Emerging Localization Of Humanistic Buddhism, Aristotle C. Dy
Buddhist Modernism In The Philippines: Emerging Localization Of Humanistic Buddhism, Aristotle C. Dy
Chinese Studies Department Faculty Publications
Mahayana Buddhism is well known for being successfully implanted in various cultures. Chinese Buddhism, considered one of the three great religions of China along with Confucianism and Taoism, is a classic example. From China, Buddhism traveled further and, in the twentieth century, developed a particular way of engaging the world. Humanistic Buddhism, a particular form of engaged Buddhism that grew out of twentieth-century Chinese Buddhism, has been present in the Philippines since the 1990s and signaled a new phase in the growth of Buddhism in the country. In particular, the Philippine initiators of Foguangshan and Ciji did not limit themselves …
Zen And The Art Of Resistance: Some Preliminary Notes, James Mark Shields
Zen And The Art Of Resistance: Some Preliminary Notes, James Mark Shields
Faculty Contributions to Books
In the Western and oftentimes Asian imagination, Buddhism generally—and Zen more specifically—is understood as being resolutely disengaged, attaching itself to a form of awakening that is not only, as the classical phrase has it “beyond words and letters,” but in the modern summation by D. T. Suzuki, perfectly compatible with any and all forms of political and economic “dogmatism,” whether capitalist, communist, socialist, or fascist. Of course, as numerous scholars have shown over the past century, on the level of historical actuality, Buddhist and Zen teachers and institutions have long participated in (usually hegemonic) economic and political structures. The …

Led by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, the initiative taken by the Tibetan Buddhist monastic community to connect with western science and scientists presents a unique opportunity to understand the motivations and engagement behaviors that contribute to monastic science learning. In this study, we draw on quantitative data from two distinct surveys that track motivations and engagement behaviors related to science education among monastic students. The first survey was administered at one monastic university in 2018, and the second follow-up survey was completed by students at two monastic universities in 2019. These surveys assessed the reception of science education related …
Unexpected Side Effects: A Cautionary Note On Challenges Of Persistent Self-Transcendence, Elizabeth D. Stephens, Harris L. Friedman
Unexpected Side Effects: A Cautionary Note On Challenges Of Persistent Self-Transcendence, Elizabeth D. Stephens, Harris L. Friedman
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies Advance Publication Archive
Self-transcendence is an ambiguous construct without consensual meaning, yet many claim that it relates to, or even causes, beneficial outcomes. Few discuss its potential deleterious side effects, choosing to focus primarily on positive effects. However, anything with sufficient potency to heal may have unintended side effects, especially when it leads beyond a transitory state to becoming an enduring trait, such as when self-transcendence (ST) becomes persistent self-transcendence (PST). With PST, evidence is overviewed here, along with two illustrative case reports, that people can suffer emotional difficulties, motivation changes, loss of self-reflexivity, anhedonia, dissociation, depersonalization, memory problems, and other psychological concerns. …
Religion Has A Public Relations Problem: Integrating Evidence-Based Thinking Into Clinical Practice, Thomas G. Plante
Religion Has A Public Relations Problem: Integrating Evidence-Based Thinking Into Clinical Practice, Thomas G. Plante
Psychology
Religion and religious institutions receive a great deal of negative, rather than positive, attention and press. This creates an impression, for the casual observer, that religion and associated institutions are a plight on the planet. It is critically important for evidence-based research and best practices in clinical services to be well known and utilized within professional psychotherapy practice. Clinicians must be mindful of the many advantages of religious engagement for physical, mental, and community health and wellness. Psychologists, and other mental health professionals, tend to be secular and nonreligious and receive little, if any, training on religious diversity that may …
A Bayesian Analysis Of Early Śramaṇic Origin Stories, John Kingsley
A Bayesian Analysis Of Early Śramaṇic Origin Stories, John Kingsley
LMU Theses and Dissertations
When it comes to assessing the historicity of religious figures, the methodology used by the academy is severely outdated, disjointed, and unsound. Bayes' Theorem, first used with a historical analysis by Richard Carrier in 2014 in relation to the historicity of Jesus, is a methodologically sound vehicle with which to examine what we have all simply, in the past, accepted. This paper addresses the historicity of the Buddha, and its implication on the early śramanic origin stories, by Bayes' Theorem.

อาบัติในมุมมองของทฤษฎีทางทัณฑวิทยา, สมชาย จำปาทอง
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
งานวิจัยนี้มีวัตถุประสงค์เพื่อวิเคราะห์อาบัติในภิกขุปาติโมกข์ตามหลักทฤษฎีทางทัณฑวิทยา 2 ทฤษฎี ได้แก่ ทฤษฎีข่มขู่ยับยั้งและทฤษฎีแก้ไขฟื้นฟู และวิเคราะห์ความสัมพันธ์ระหว่างอาบัติและภาคีทั้ง 5 อันได้แก่ ชุมชนสงฆ์ ตัวพระภิกษุ เพื่อนพระภิกษุ คฤหัสถ์นอกคณะสงฆ์ และพระศาสนาตามวัตถุประสงค์ของการบัญญัติพระวินัย 10 ประการ โดยศึกษาจากพระวินัยปิฎกและอรรถกถา ผลการศึกษาพบว่า การลงโทษตามพระวินัยคือการออกจากอาบัติ 3 ลักษณะ อันได้แก่ การพ้นจากสภาพความเป็นพระภิกษุ, การประพฤติวุฏฐานวิธี, และการแสดงอาบัติ สอดคล้องกับหลักการของทฤษฎีทั้งสองโดยที่แยกจากกันไม่ได้ การลงโทษตามทฤษฎีข่มขู่ยับยั้งถือว่าเป็นการตัดโอกาส, เป็นความยุ่งยากและความลำบาก, และการทำให้อับอายตามลำดับ ในขณะที่ในมุมมองของทฤษฎีแก้ไขฟื้นฟูถือว่าเป็นการพ้นจากภิกษุภาวะเพื่อดำรงอยู่ในสถานะอื่นที่เหมาะสม, การแยกตัวผู้ต้องอาบัติออกไปจากพระสงฆ์เพื่ออบรมและขัดเกลาจิตใจ, และ การสำนึกผิด อาบัติอาจพิจารณาให้เป็นทฤษฎีใดก็ได้ ขึ้นอยู่กับความสำนึกของผู้ต้องอาบัติเป็นสำคัญ อาบัติเป็นโทษที่มุ่งข่มขู่พระภิกษุผู้ไม่ละอายให้อยู่ในกฎเกณฑ์ตลอดเวลา ในขณะเดียวกัน อาบัติก็เป็นวิธีการที่เอื้อประโยชน์ต่อพระภิกษุผู้เป็นกัลยาณปุถุชนจนถึงพระอรหันต์ให้ดำรงตนสอดคล้องกับธรรม ภาคีทั้ง 5 ซึ่งเป็นผู้มีส่วนได้เสียจากอาบัติมีบทบาทในการควบคุมความสำรวมในสิกขาบทและในอินทรีย์ของพระภิกษุ การศึกษาแสดงว่า การออกจากอาบัติเป็นการแก้ไขตนเอง เมื่อพระภิกษุต้องอาบัติ ต้องรีบออกจากอาบัติ

Unreality And Loss Of Self: Dissociative Experiences In Buddhist Practitioners, Jill Loving
Unreality And Loss Of Self: Dissociative Experiences In Buddhist Practitioners, Jill Loving
Graduate School of Professional Psychology: Doctoral Papers and Masters Projects
On the surface, the Buddhist idea of emptiness and experiences of depersonalization and derealization seem to have significant overlap. Meditations on emptiness in the Buddhist tradition seek to lead meditators to observe the ego as illusory and empty of inherent content as one step in the journey to liberate oneself from suffering. Conversely, dissociation is generally an involuntary, automatic response to severe trauma that can become more common or chronic in an individual over time. Topographically, these experiences may look similar; both include a sense of unreality of the self and often of the broader world. However, differences in stimulus …
