Dogen And Bankei And A Study Of The Soto Zen, Kazumitsu W. Kato
Dogen And Bankei And A Study Of The Soto Zen, Kazumitsu W. Kato
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
The reason I am writing this dissertation is to introduce another side of Zen, Soto, which is completely unknown in the Western world; and at the same time to bring Dogen's teaching to the attention of Western scholars, since it is famous in Japan as the most profound branch of the philosophy of Zen. Unfortunately, none of Dogen' s teaching has yet been translated into English except Masunaga's private publication given above. Therefore I am taking this opportunity to translate and to add a commentary of my own for the better understanding of Dogen as well as the historical survey …

The Concept Of Brahmacarya, Evelyn Vrat
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
Contemporary civilization of the western world represents a combination of material development and moral degeneration, Value is measured in 'space' not in 'spirit'. Antecedent to the complications of life with its sufferings) 'fiddlers fees' and disillusionments, how very few realize that true pleasure is not in having, but in being? Fewer still are those whose feelings, thoughts and actions are conscious, aware, self-chosen and self-directed. More often than not, introspection reveals that most are not masters, but the mastered, victims of moods and conflicts...
However, deep dissatisfaction with life as it appears to be and with the individual's adaption to …
Conceptions Of Formative Processes In Western Science And Eastern Philosophy, Glenn E. Kaufmann
Conceptions Of Formative Processes In Western Science And Eastern Philosophy, Glenn E. Kaufmann
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
The central theme of this paper concerns the way Eastern and Western (sometimes termed Oriental and Occidental) thought view the formation of the world; the means of arriving at these conclusions and the concepts or pre-conceived ideas upon which they are based. Western thought has been limited to views that have developed out of modern science, post-1500; they are mechanistic science, evolution, Whitehead's philosophy pertaining to God and modern physics. For the purpose of this paper, the emphasis in Eastern thought is placed on Mahayana Buddhism, especially the Madhyamika school of philosophy. In India it developed in contact with many …

A Comparative Study Of The Prasada Complex And The Grace Of God, Jay R. Mccullough
A Comparative Study Of The Prasada Complex And The Grace Of God, Jay R. Mccullough
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
A word or word group lifted from its context incurs the grave danger of a misunderstanding ranging from the greatest excess of analytical dismemberment to an overgenerous and all-inclusive synthesis which tends to rob it of any specific identity or meaning. Considered not only from within the body of textual material which may frame a particular word, but from the ground of these physical, mental and cultural needs which give it birth as well as the motivating force or forces which seem to endanger it, it may be possible to develop a better understanding of its varying harmonic nuances of …
Incarnation : Hindu And Christian Thought, Benjamin Anthony Francis
Incarnation : Hindu And Christian Thought, Benjamin Anthony Francis
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
In writing these following pages, I have carefully avoided criticism of any kind. In these pages, I have mentioned the main differences between the Hindu and Christian faiths. I have treated this subject of incarnation with due respect to both the religions. If the subject could be discussed on an evaluative basis, then there would be the possibility of coming to the conclusion that there is less truth and more truth in different religious faiths. The most important consideration will be the truth value. In the incarnation stories, man is restored by God’s creative act to his original state.
