IT IS
THE WISH OF THE PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD THAT USA CELEBRATE 2556TH
BUDDHA JAYANTI AT WHITE HOUSE, AS IT WAS MAGNANIMOUS TO CELEBRATE DEEPAVALI.

Dhammapada: Verses and Stories

Dhammapada Verse 156 Nostalgia
For Past Glory

Verse 156.
Nostalgia For Past Glory

Who
have not led the holy life
nor riches won while young,
they languish on, worn-out bows,
sighing for the past.

Explanation:  This verse captures a situation that is
universally true. Most people tend to spend their youth squandering the
precious days with no thought
 about the
inevitable old-age that will overtake them. Youth is allowed to slip by without
having garnered either material or spiritual wealth. The Buddha’s admonition to
mankind in this passage, is that they must, in time, become mindful of the
passage of time and the speedy fading of the glamour of youth.

    collaboration with College of Religious Studies, Mahidol University will
    be opening a new PhD programme in Buddhist Studies. The programme focuses

    of the programme are to train students to acquire and apply research
    skills at the highest level of academic analysis and to produce graduates
    who are able to teach and conduct research in Buddhist Studies at a level
    consistent with international standards.

    One of the main emphases of the programme is to read primary texts in
    their original languages, especially Sanskrit and Pali, and to study them
    with critical modes of analysis that incorporate Western scholarship.
    Although there is much modern scholarship on Buddhism, few researchers
    have the ability to utilise the primary sources in their original Pali or
    Sanskrit, which can result in misinterpretation and an over-dependence on
    secondary sources.

    curriculum. Pali and Buddhist Studies have become established over the
    last five decades as the major disciplines in the Humanities field of the
    University.

    The study of Buddhism can be approached with the aim and objective of
    providing a philosophical alternative in the search for the meaning of
    life and opting for a more humane mode of living. However, in a University
    academic context this could be done from a non-dogmatic and critical
    standpoint that promotes tolerance of other points of view and dialogue
    with other alternative philosophies of life inculcating a value
    orientation in the learner that could eventually contribute to peaceful
    and harmonious living.

    manifestations such as the Vajrayana tradition in Tibet, East Asian
    Buddhism and the more modern Western Buddhism enrich the picture further.

  • Hungary
  • Budapest Buddhist University (Budapest,
    Hungary)

    The Budapest Buddhist University was founded in 1991. Their aim was to
    provide high-level education in Buddhist theory and practices for the
    Hungarian public. From the outset, the curriculum tended to incorporate
    different strands of Buddhism present in the country, not neglecting
    Hungary’s long-standing tradition of oriental scholarship.

    Following a long process of curriculum development and authentication, our
    four-year Buddhist teachers’ training programme was accredited in 1999. On
    fulfilling a number of additional criteria set by the Hungarian
    Accreditation Committee, this accreditation was finally reconfirmed in
    2001. With the introduction of the new law of tertiary education in 2005,
    the Buddhist College joined the Bologna process and was one of the first
    Hungarian institutions of higher education to be re-accredited in the new tertiary
    educational system. In 2006 we started our new 3-year BA programme, later
    to be followed by a 2 years MA programme. Our training programme was thus
    extended from four to five years, and in effect, we developed into a
    university meeting European standards.

    Buddhist
    studies

    Buddhist studies, also known as Buddhology (although the latter term
    is sometimes reserved for the study of
    Buddhas rather than that of Buddhism as a whole), is the academic study of Buddhism. The term applies
    especially to the modern academic field, which is a subset of
    religious
    studies
    ,
    and is distinct from
    Buddhist philosophy or Buddhist theology. As
    with religious studies in general, scholars of Buddhist studies represent a
    variety of disciplines including
    history, anthropology, and philosophy.

    In
    contrast to the study of
    Judaism or Christianity, the field of Buddhist
    Studies has been dominated by “outsiders” to Buddhist cultures and
    traditions. However,
    Japanese universities have also made
    major contributions, as have Asian immigrants to Western countries, and Western
    converts to Buddhism.

    Relationship
    to contemporary Buddhism

    Charles Prebish, a scholar-practitioner, describes the
    academics who are also Buddhist practitioner as fulfilling a crucial
    traditional role that has gone otherwise unfilled in countries that are not
    traditionally Buddhist:

    Throughout much of Buddhism’s history, Buddhist
    scholarship and practice have been two very distinct vocations in a highly
    polarized tradition. Not surprisingly, stories reflecting the study/practice
    dichotomy in Buddhism are abundant in both the primary and secondary literature
    on the subject. Walpola Rahula’s History of Buddhism in Ceylon provides a good
    summary of the issue. During the first century B.C.E., in response to a concern
    over the possible loss of the Tripitaka during a severe famine, a question
    arose: What is the basis of the Teaching (sasana)—learning or practice?
    A clear difference of opinion resulted in the development of two groups: the Dhammakathikas,
    who claimed that learning was the basis of the Sasana, and the Pamsukulikas,
    who argued for practice as the basis. The Dhammakathikas apparently won out.

    The two vocations described above came to be known as gantha-dhura,
    or the “vocation of books,” and vipassana-dhura, or the “vocation of
    meditation,” with the former regarded as the superior training (because surely
    meditation would not be possible if the teachings were lost). Moreover, the
    vipassana-dhura monks began to live in the forest, where they could best pursue
    their vocation undisturbed, while the gantha-dhura monks began to dwell in
    villages and towns. As such, the gantha-dhura monks began to play a significant
    role in Buddhist education.

    It would probably not be going too far to refer to the
    gantha-dhura monks as “scholar-monks.” Why is this distinction so important? It
    is significant because the scholar-monks were responsible for the education of
    the laity and cultivated a Buddhist literacy among the ordinary practitioners
    of the tradition. While this was a normative practice in the ancient Buddhist
    tradition, Buddhism in the Western world has not favored a monastic lifestyle.
    As such, the education of the laity has been left to teachers who are no longer
    trained as scholar-monks. In fact, while many of the leaders and authorized
    teachers in the various Western Buddhist groups have had formal monastic and
    scholarly training at some point, many—if not most—have abandoned the monastic
    and scholarly lifestyle altogether. This has fostered a “scholarship gap,”
    which to a large extent is being rapidly filled by scholar-practitioners who,
    although not living as full-fledged monastics, have solid scholarly and
    academic training grounded in a rigorous personal practice.
    [1]

    Geographical
    “Schools”

    Prebish
    writes that:

    …geographic associations seem to identify at least two
    ’schools’ of Buddhology: the Anglo-German and the Franco-Belgian. The former
    (and older) was led by
    T. W. Rhys Davids and Hermann
    Oldenberg
    ,
    while the latter included primarily
    Louis de La Vallée Poussin, Jean Przyluski, Sylvain
    Lévi
    ,
    Paul Demiéville, and Étienne
    Lamotte
    .
    To these schools,
    Edward
    Conze
    ,
    quite reasonably, adds a third: the
    Leningrad school, including Stcherbatsky, Rosenberg, and Obermiller. The Anglo-German school
    almost exclusively emphasized the
    Pali literary tradition, while
    the Franco-Belgian school utilized the
    Sanskritic materials, along with their corresponding translations and
    commentaries in
    Chinese and Tibetan. The Leningrad school is
    clearly closer to the Franco-Belgian school than the Anglo-German. These are
    general classifications, but they nonetheless capture the style of the
    traditions as they have been maintained over the last century.
    [2]

    Prebish
    goes on to discuss developments in the USA:

    Although some might consider Eugène
    Burnouf

    the founding father of Buddhist Studies as a discipline, the beginnings of
    Buddhist Studies in the United States seem inextricably bound to three primary
    individuals:
    Paul
    Carus
    ,
    Henry Clarke
    Warren
    ,
    and
    Charles Rockwell Lanman. […] Despite the work of
    these early educators, it was not until after 1960 that Buddhist Studies began
    to emerge as a significant discipline in the American university system and
    publishing industry. During the
    Vietnam War years and immediately
    thereafter, Buddhist Studies was to enjoy a boom, largely through the efforts
    of such leading professors as
    Richard Hugh
    Robinson

    of the
    University of Wisconsin–Madison, Masatoshi
    Nagatomi

    of
    Harvard University, and Alex
    Wayman

    of
    Columbia University. No doubt there were many
    reasons for the increased development of Buddhist Studies, not the least of
    which were the increase in
    area studies programs in American
    universities; growing government interest in things Asian; the immense social
    anomie that permeated American culture in the 1960s; and the growing
    dissatisfation with (and perhaps rejection of) traditional religion.

    Lopez emphasizes the influence of Geshe
    Lhundup Sopa at Wisconsin, and Jeffrey

    at Virginia.
    [4]

    University
    programs and institutes

    According to Prebish, Buddhist studies in the United
    States prior to 1975 was dominated by the University of Wisconsin, Harvard
    University and the
    University of Chicago.[5] Prebish cites two surveys by Hart in which
    the following university programs were found to have produced the most scholars
    with U.S. university posts: Chicago, Wisconsin, Harvard, Columbia, Yale,
    Virginia, Stanford, Berkeley, Princeton, Temple, Northwestern, Michigan,
    Washington, and Tokyo.
    [6]

    Other regionally-accredited U.S. institutions with
    programs in Buddhism include the
    University of the West, Institute of Buddhist
    Studies
    , Naropa
    University
    , and the California Institute of
    Integral Studies
    . (A number
    of dharma centers offer semi-academic, unaccredited study; some of these seem
    likely eventually to win accreditation.)

    Prominent European programs include Oxford and Cambridge, SOAS, the universities of Humbolt and Bonn, and
    the Sorbonne. In Asia, Tokyo University has long been a major center for
    Buddhist research.

    A
    semester of study and meditation while living in a Buddhist monastery near the
    site of Buddha Shakyamuni’s Enlightenment.

    Program Highlights

    “I don’t think one can receive this experience anywhere else.” -Conan Cheong, Wesleyan University

    Program
    Description

    This program weaves together the diverse resources of Bodh
    Gaya into a fall semester of study emphasizing a comparative approach to both

    from a wide range of schools have participated. Since 2008, a sampling of
    colleges and universities that students have come from are: Amherst College,
    Barnard College, Bates College, Boston University, Brown University,
    CSU-Northridge, Carleton College, Colby College, Columbia University, Dartmouth
    College, DePauw University, Drake University, Goucher College, Hamline
    University, Harvard University, Johnson State College, Kenyon College, Knox
    College, Macalester Colleges, Mercyhurst College, Northwestern University, Penn
    State University, Princeton University, Rutgers University, Saint Michael’s

    250 people being murdered a day
    in Akhilesh Yadav-ruled Uttar Pradesh, claims BSP


    The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP ) launched a frontal and scathing attack on the
    Akhilesh Yadav-led Samajwadi Party (SP) government and
    claimed that every day more than 250 people were being murdered in Uttar
    Pradesh ever since the new government took over.

    Addressing a press conference here, Leader of Opposition and state BSP
    president Swami Prasad Maurya said that law and order has hit a new low in the
    state and accused the state government of making officials’ transfers a
    “mini industry in the state”.

    “Even as crime is spiralling, the government has made transfers an
    industry,” Maurya said. He added that on an average, four murders were
    taking place in every district every day and by this rate, 250 murders were
    taking place in the state every day.

    Warning that the Samajwadi Party ’s patronising of criminal elements
    had begun to tarnish the image of Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, the BSP leader
    said the people of Uttar Pradesh would soon realise their mistake and would
    repent voting for the SP.

    BSP alleges spurt in crime rate
    in UP

     

    Lucknow: The
    Bahujan Samaj Party Friday alleged that there was a spurt in crime in Uttar
    Pradesh ever since the Samajwadi Party came to power and asked Chief Minister
    Akhilesh Yadav to seriously work towards providing justice and security to all.

    Citing cases of murders which have been reported from different parts of the
    state in the recent days, leader of opposition in UP Assembly and senior BSP
    leader Swami Prasad Maurya said that they indicated as to how the state has
    become a hunting ground for criminals and mafia elements in the present
    government.


    “In merely 40
    to 42 days of the SP government, people have started remembering the good days
    of BSP’s rule of law”, Maurya told reporters here.

    The BSP leader advised the chief minister to desist from tall claims and
    instead seriously work for providing justice and security to all.
