Download or read book The Buddhist Revival in Sri Lanka written by George Doherty Bond and published by Motilal Banarsidass Publ.. This book was released on 1992 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1956, Theravada Buddhists in Sri Lanka and throughout Southeast Asia celebrated the 2500th anniversary of the Buddha`s entry into Nirvana and of the establishment of the Buddhist tradition. This book examines this revival of Theravada Buddhism among the laity of Sri Lanka, analysing its origins and its growth up to the present-day. Within the spectrum of reinterpretations that have comprised the revival, the book focuses on four important types or patterns of reinterpretation and response. It examines the rational reformism of the early Protestant Buddhists led by Anagarika Dharmapala and the conservative neotraditionalism of the Jayanti period.Particular attention is given to two of the most recent and dynamic reforms, the insight meditation movement, breaking with tradition, has opened the path of meditation to lay people, enabling them to seek Nirvana without renouncing the world. The sarvodaya Shramadana movement has addressed the social context, reinterpreting the Buddhist heritage to derive authentic forms of Buddhist social development. Comprising this series of interpretations and options for lay Buddhists, the Buddhist revival represents a new gradual path to Nirvana.

Download or read book Cambodian Buddhism written by Ian Harris and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2008-03-11 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of Cambodian religion has long been hampered by a lack of easily accessible scholarship. This impressive new work by Ian Harris thus fills a major gap and offers English-language scholars a booklength, up-to-date treatment of the religious aspects of Cambodian culture. Beginning with a coherent history of the presence of religion in the country from its inception to the present day, the book goes on to furnish insights into the distinctive nature of Cambodia's important yet overlooked manifestation of Theravada Buddhist tradition and to show how it reestablished itself following almost total annihilation during the Pol Pot period. Historical sections cover the dominant role of tantric Mahayana concepts and rituals under the last great king of Angkor, Jayavarman VII (1181–c. 1220); the rise of Theravada traditions after the collapse of the Angkorian civilization; the impact of foreign influences on the development of the nineteenth-century monastic order; and politicized Buddhism and the Buddhist contribution to an emerging sense of Khmer nationhood. The Buddhism practiced in Cambodia has much in common with parallel traditions in Thailand and Sri Lanka, yet there are also significant differences. The book concentrates on these and illustrates how a distinctly Cambodian Theravada developed by accommodating itself to premodern Khmer modes of thought. Following the overthrow of Prince Sihanouk in 1970, Cambodia slid rapidly into disorder and violence. Later chapters chart the elimination of institutional Buddhism under the Khmer Rouge and its gradual reemergence after Pol Pot, the restoration of the monastic order's prerevolutionary institutional forms, and the emergence of contemporary Buddhist groupings.
Download or read book Twelve World Religions written by K. Ravindran and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2022-09-03 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the proliferating electronic media platforms of social networking sites and the spread of false/doctored news, many lay people get wrong notions on religions/faiths. This leads to religious rivalries, mutual suspicions, hate speeches and increasing religious intolerance, leading to violence taking root in certain areas of the world. It is therefore quite essential for lay people to be familiar with the basic essence and congruence of religions. Twelve World Religions is an attempt to educate the lay public about this. It gives a kaleidoscopic view of the 12 major religions of the world in a structured, uniform pattern to include the founder of the religion, historical background, concept, beliefs, core teachings, temples/shrines, methods of worship, rituals, societal restrictions, priesthood, proselytization, eschatology, religious texts and scriptures, development of the religion through centuries, interaction/conflict with other religions, the spread of the religion, demographics, diaspora, symbols, etc. The language has been kept simple without any profound philosophy or pedagogy, keeping a lay reader in mind. India’s ancient Vedas stated that there are many different approaches to God and all are valid. The modern Indian saint Sri Ramakrishna also stated, “As many paths, so many faiths.” This book is an attempt towards it.
