Download or read book Original Enlightenment and the Transformation of Medieval Japanese Buddhism written by Jacqueline I. Stone and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2003-05-31 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Original enlightenment thought (hongaku shiso) dominated Buddhist intellectual circles throughout Japan’s medieval period. Enlightenment, this discourse claims, is neither a goal to be achieved nor a potential to be realized but the true status of all things. Every animate and inanimate object manifests the primordially enlightened Buddha just as it is. Seen in its true aspect, every activity of daily life—eating, sleeping, even one’s deluded thinking—is the Buddha’s conduct. Emerging from within the powerful Tendai School, ideas of original enlightenment were appropriated by a number of Buddhist traditions and influenced nascent theories about the kami (local deities) as well as medieval aesthetics and the literary and performing arts. Scholars and commentators have long recognized the historical importance of original enlightenment thought but differ heatedly over how it is to be understood. Some tout it as the pinnacle of the Buddhist philosophy of absolute non-dualism. Others claim to find in it the paradigmatic expression of a timeless Japanese spirituality. According other readings, it represents a dangerous anti-nomianism that undermined observance of moral precepts, precipitated a decline in Buddhist scholarship, and denied the need for religious discipline. Still others denounce it as an authoritarian ideology that, by sacralizing the given order, has in effect legitimized hierarchy and discriminative social practices. Often the acceptance or rejection of original enlightenment thought is seen as the fault line along which traditional Buddhist institutions are to be differentiated from the new Buddhist movements (Zen, Pure Land, and Nichiren) that arose during Japan’s medieval period. Jacqueline Stone’s groundbreaking study moves beyond the treatment of the original enlightenment doctrine as abstract philosophy to explore its historical dimension. Drawing on a wealth of medieval primary sources and modern Japanese scholarship, it places this discourse in its ritual, institutional, and social contexts, illuminating its importance to the maintenance of traditions of lineage and the secret transmission of knowledge that characterized several medieval Japanese elite culture. It sheds new light on interpretive strategies employed in pre-modern Japanese Buddhist texts, an area that hitherto has received a little attention. Through these and other lines of investigation, Stone problematizes entrenched notions of “corruption” in the medieval Buddhist establishment. Using the examples of Tendai and Nichiren Buddhism and their interactions throughout the medieval period, she calls into question both overly facile distinctions between “old” and “new” Buddhism and the long-standing scholarly assumptions that have perpetuated them. This study marks a significant contribution to ongoing debates over definitions of Buddhism in the Kamakura era (1185–1333), long regarded as a formative period in Japanese religion and culture. Stone argues that “original enlightenment thought” represents a substantial rethinking of Buddhist enlightenment that cuts across the distinction between “old” and “new” institutions and was particularly characteristic of the medieval period.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The face of Christianity is changing. In recent years, and in rapidly increasing numbers, people have begun to understand the core message and purpose of Christianity differently. They have returned to its ancient roots and found a wisdom that speaks to their experience of faith and God.

The Emerging Christian Way: Thoughts, Stories, and Wisdom for a Faith of Transformation is a collection of 13 essays, by some of the leading authors and thinkers in the field, covering every aspect of this developing Christian paradigm.

Download or read book Pursuing Consciousness written by Peter Ralston and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2015-03-10 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on his previous groundbreaking work, Peter Ralston once again proves to be a sure-footed guide for readers seeking to negotiate the challenging terrain of personal and spiritual growth. In accessible language, Ralston demonstrates how the lofty goals of self-transformation and enlightenment can be achieved with a no-nonsense approach available to anyone willing to reach beyond their current experience of self and reality. Pursuing Consciousness is a down-to-earth handbook for staying focused on the work at hand, even while tackling such unsettling tasks as investigating deeply ingrained psychological beliefs and identifying common areas of misunderstanding that hamper transformative growth. Ralston explains that deeper levels of consciousness aren't just for monks—anyone can have an enlightenment experience. He shows that enlightenment does not transform the self, and transforming the self does not produce enlightenment. Once we grasp that these two pursuits take place in entirely different domains of consciousness, we can use each to empower the other. Ralston provides specific tools for changing the very person that we experience being. His work has been acclaimed by people from a diverse range of disciplines—including spiritual teachers, psychiatrists, cognitive scientists, physicists, and artists. As with Ralston’s previous works, this book points the way to a direct encounter with the true nature of Being and the possibility of real personal change.
Download or read book The Eternal War Devas vs Asuras written by AQEEL AHMED and published by AQEEL AHMED. This book was released on 2023-09-25 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: A timeless narrative has fascinated centuries with its profound symbolism and moral precepts in the enormous tapestry of Hindu mythology, where gods and mortals interact in an intricate dance of destiny. It is the story of the Devas and Asuras, an eternal conflict that serves as a profound allegory for existence's fundamental dichotomies, repeating the cosmic fight between light and darkness, good and evil. In Hindu cosmology, the Devas and Asuras, celestial entities of enormous power and intricacy, represent conflicting forces. While their titles may simply translate to "gods" and "demons," the richness of their characterization and the depth of their responsibilities in Hindu philosophy much outweigh such crude classifications. Understanding the Devas and Asuras is to dig into the heart of Hindu spirituality, where the divine and the human, the ethereal and the earthly, intersect in a complex tale that has fashioned one of the world's oldest religions' moral and ethical fabric. The Devas of the Divine Pantheon: The Devas, often known as gods or celestial creatures, live in the heavenly region of Svarga. They are the personification of virtues, the keepers of cosmic order, and the keepers of the virtuous path, dharma. They control the cosmos and maintain the equilibrium of creation, led by the great Indra, king of the Devas. Each Deva has distinct characteristics and responsibilities that contribute to the cosmic balance. The universe is sustained by Vishnu, the preserver; Brahma, the creator, brings out life; and Shiva, the destroyer, clears the way for fresh beginnings. In Hinduism, these Devas are respected, and their stories explain the holy characteristics they personify. The Devas are the forces of light, wisdom, and goodness. Their brilliant presence in the sky inspires and guides mortals, providing hope in times of darkness and uncertainty. The Devas' stories teach excellent lessons about morals, ethics, and the search for higher knowledge. Asuras' Shadowy Realm In contrast to the Devas, the Asuras are frequently seen as demons or wicked beings. Their home is the Patala netherworld, which is shrouded in darkness and mystery. The Asuras, led by the ambitious and cunning Mahabali, are motivated by cravings, ego, and a constant pursuit of power. The Asuras' stories are full of defiance, deceit, and rebellion against the cosmic order. Figures like Ravana, Hiranyakashipu, and Vritra exemplify the Asura archetype's arrogance and ambition. Within this complication, however, there is a deeper examination of the human condition, where the defects and fallacies of the Asuras mirror the struggles and temptations experienced by mortals. Despite their frequently evil image, the Asuras have redeeming traits. They represent the dark parts of the human psyche, urging people to confront their own inner demons and transcend the constraints of ego and want. In this way, the Asuras reflect humanity's struggle with its own darker inclinations. The Eternal Battle of the Cosmic Dichotomy The eternal conflict between these two cosmic powers is at the heart of the Devas and Asuras story. It is a war that spans time and space, symbolizing the ongoing clash between opposing principles that exists within each human and across the universe. The Devas and Asuras are always at odds over sovereignty, power, and the very nature of the cosmic order. This is a philosophical and spiritual war in which the forces of virtue combat the attraction of material aspirations and the dangers of unrestrained ambition. This dichotomy is a comprehensive investigation of the dualities inherent in reality, rather than a simplified presentation of good versus evil. The Devas and Asuras depict the eternal effort to create balance and harmony in a world full of paradoxes. Mortals' Lessons As enthralling as the stories of Devas and Asuras are, their relevance stretches beyond mythology. These stories serve as allegories for human life, providing vital lessons and insights for navigating life's complexity. The Devas motivate us to practice virtues like compassion, wisdom, and selflessness. They teach us that the route to enlightenment is to live a dharmic life, preserve moral ideals, and strive for spiritual growth. The Asuras, on the other hand, warn against the dangers of ego, desire, and unrestrained ambition. They challenge us to confront our inner demons, to identify our destructive inclinations, and to seek the higher path of self-transformation and self-realization. We find a mirror reflecting our own problems and goals in this magnificent story of the Devas and Asuras. It reminds us that the war between light and darkness does not take place only in the celestial regions, but also within our own hearts and minds. It exhorts us to achieve harmony in the midst of life's duality and to strive for the heavenly attributes symbolized by the Devas. In the pages that follow, we will travel through the rich tapestry of Hindu mythology, delving into the stories, symbolism, and profound knowledge encompassed in the eternal conflict between the Devas and Asuras. It is a trip that encourages introspection, thought, and a greater understanding of the timeless truths that govern human existence. This story's summary: The epic tale of the Devas and Asuras unfolds in the mysterious realm of Hindu mythology, where gods and mortals mix, and cosmic plays influence the fate of the universe. This timeless story is a drama of endless conflict and transformation, a story that speaks to the very core of human experience. When the universe was just a cosmic womb, two unique cosmic energies emerged: the Devas and the Asuras. These strong beings were more than mortal, embodying existence's duality. The Devas symbolized justice, virtue, and harmony, whereas the Asuras represented ambition, pride, and disorder. The Devas lived in the heavenly realm of Svarga, a land of magnificent beauty and divine majesty, led by their strong monarch, Indra. They ruled the universe, guaranteeing the harmony and balance of all creation, and were revered as protectors and benefactors by mortals. The Asuras, on the other hand, established their dominion in Patala's netherworld, a region cloaked in shadows and mystery. The Asuras aspired to challenge the Devas' supremacy, led by the fearsome Mahabali, a charismatic and ambitious king, driven by their insatiable wants and greed for power. When the Devas and Asuras collaborated on a huge endeavor—the churning of the cosmic ocean—their unending war reached a climax. Their goal was to find the elixir of immortality known as Amrita, which was concealed deep within the ocean. The churning process, however, was not without its difficulties. As the story progressed, a lethal toxin known as Halahala erupted from the depths, threatening to swallow all of creation. Lord Shiva, the cosmic destroyer, ingested the poison in a frantic attempt to preserve the universe, staining his neck blue in the process. Despite their short cooperation, the Devas and Asuras' fundamental hatred could not be overcome. Mahabali, the astute strategist, disguised himself as a poor Brahmin and addressed Lord Vishnu as Vamana, a dwarf, during one of his incarnations. Mahabali pledged to provide Vamana with three steps of land in a selfless act. Vamana miraculously grew to include the entire cosmos, claiming the earth and sky before asking Mahabali where he may place his third foot. When Mahabali realized the deception, he offered his own skull, which pushed him deep into the netherworld. Because of his humility and dedication, Lord Vishnu granted him permission to visit his people during the Onam festival. The Devas believed they had achieved perpetual dominion after obtaining Amrita, but the Asuras were tenacious in their pursuit of immortality. They performed rigorous penance, practiced formidable austerities, and called powerful godly boons. Ravana and Hiranyakashipu, for example, developed great power and near-invulnerability. The cosmic struggle spilled over into the mortal realm from the celestial realms. According to the epic Mahabharata, the Kurukshetra War was fought between the Pandavas, who were supported by the Devas, and the Kauravas, who were supported by the Asuras. Lord Krishna, an avatar of Lord Vishnu, was crucial in leading the Pandavas to victory and restoring balance and justice. The Devas and Asuras continued their unending conflict as the ages passed, their fates linked in a cosmic dance of creation and destruction. They guided mortals down the road of dharma (righteousness), acting as catalysts for the evolution of the universe and its souls. Some Asuras, such as Shukracharya, eventually saw the destructive nature of their goals and pursued a path of peace. They began teaching fellow Asuras wisdom, compassion, and self-realization, developing a faction that turned away from harmful ways. This transition was not lost on the Devas, who watched the changes with cautious optimism. The Devas saw that a universe in which all beings strived for spiritual development and harmony would be more stable and pleasant. When the cosmic energies of the Devas and Asuras converged as the universe grew and contracted, it was a moment of immense significance. Both sides went on a quest to understand their existence, aided by sages and enlightened beings. They experimented with meditation, introspection, and self-realization, realizing the interconnection of all beings and the underlying duality that exists within every soul. The Devas and Asuras joined together in a vast assembly in a moment of profound revelation, establishing a truce that transcended their endless hostility. They vowed to work together to keep the universe in balance, realizing that unity and understanding were the ultimate paths to enlightenment. This merger signaled the beginning of a new era in which the Devas and Asuras ceased to be antagonistic forces and became co-creators of a harmonious universe. They combined their knowledge and strength to guide humanity toward righteousness, knowledge, and spiritual progress. The cosmos thrived in a condition of balance and harmony because the Devas and Asuras were unified in purpose. Mortals, inspired by the newfound harmony of the angelic realms, adopted the virtues of compassion, love, and wisdom. The Devas and Asuras continued to inspire mortals through stories, myths, and teachings as cosmic teachers rather than antagonistic factions. They led humanity to see that the eternal conflict between light and darkness existed not just on the outside, but also within the human soul. The Devas and Asuras taught the universe in the great finale that the route to enlightenment lay not in the annihilation of conflicting forces, but in their integration and transcendence. They revealed that existence was a great tapestry woven of light and darkness, good and evil, and that the cosmic dance would continue indefinitely, calling all beings to join the quest for unification and enlightenment. As a result, this epic story, which began with war and hatred, evolved into one of redemption, forgiveness, and the eternal search for cosmic harmony. It is a timeless reminder that even the most profound schisms can be bridged through understanding, compassion, and acknowledgement of our connected cosmic history. The story concludes with profound insights into the essence of existence, the value of unity, and the unending quest for enlightenment. A heavenly drama is unfolding in the endless vastness of the cosmos, where the lines between gods and mortals blur. This is the story of the Devas and Asuras, the eons-long struggle between light and darkness, good and evil, that has formed the fate of the cosmos. The Devas and Asuras are the main characters in this cosmic play, their roles representing the fundamental duality that defines existence. It is a drama that transcends time and location because it is a story that is woven into the very fabric of Hindu mythology, philosophy, and spirituality. The Devas represent the luminous energies of righteousness, virtue, and heavenly harmony in this timeless epic, residing in the brilliant region of Svarga. They are celestial beings of radiant beauty and limitless compassion, cosmic order keepers, and guides to the path of dharma—the virtuous path. The Asuras, who came from the gloomy depths of Patala, represent ambition, pride, and the instability that exists within the human psyche. They are driven by insatiable cravings, always challenging the authority of the Devas, and testing the bounds of cosmic balance. This eternal tug-of-war between these two opposing forces serves as a profound allegory for the universal battle between light and evil, a topic that resonates with human experience throughout nations and civilizations. It is a story that invites us to contemplate the nature of good and evil, to go into the depths of our own souls, and to seek the elusive balance that reconciles these opposing sides of our life. We begin on a trip that transcends myth and enters the world of spiritual contemplation as we dig into the epic storylines, teachings, and symbols associated with the Devas and Asuras. It is a trip that continues to shape millions of people's collective consciousness, providing significant insights into the intricate fabric of life, death, and reincarnation that defines the cosmic order. The stories of these celestial beings serve as mirrors to our own struggles and aspirations, from the churning of the cosmic ocean to the benevolent direction of Devas like Vishnu, Brahma, and Shiva, to the crafty schemes of Asuras like Mahabali and Ravana. They remind us that the conflict between light and darkness is not limited to the worlds of gods and demons but is a universal theme that manifests itself within each of us. This story has survived millennia because it addresses timeless issues that have preoccupied human minds since the start of civilization: What is the nature of good and evil? How do we achieve equilibrium in the face of chaos? Can virtue's light win over the shadows of temptation and desire? The Devas and Asuras provide deep insights into these questions, asking us to go into the depths of our own moral compass and spiritual path. We develop a deeper understanding for Hindu philosophy and the rich tapestry of Indian mythology as we navigate the heavenly battles, cosmic machinations, and moral quandaries that enrich the stories of these divine beings.
