Download or read book Holy Ground Where Art and Text Meet written by Hans T. Bakker and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-12-16 with total page 720 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 31 selected and revised articles in the volume Holy Ground: Where Art and Text Meet, written by Hans Bakker between 1986 and 2016, vary from theoretical subjects to historical essays on the classical culture of India. They combine two mainstreams: the Sanskrit textual tradition, including epigraphy, and the material culture as expressed in works of religious art and iconography. The study of text and art in close combination in the actual field where they meet provides a great potential for understanding. The history of holy places is therefore one of the leitmotivs that binds these studies together. One article, "The Ramtek Inscriptions II", was co-authored by Harunaga Isaacson, two articles, on "Moksadharma 187 and 239–241" and "The Quest for the Pasupata Weapon," by Peter C. Bisschop.

This book was released on 2015-04-28 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second volume of the 15th-century spiritual classic that condenses Buddhist teachings into one easy-to-follow meditation manual The Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment (Tib. Lam rim chen mo) is one of the brightest jewels in the world’s treasury of sacred literature. The author, Tsong-kha-pa, completed it in 1402, and it soon became one of the most renowned works of spiritual practice and philosophy in the world of Tibetan Buddhism. Because it condenses all the exoteric sūtra scriptures into a meditation manual that is easy to understand, scholars and practitioners rely on its authoritative presentation as a gateway that leads to a full understanding of the Buddha’s teachings. Tsong-kha-pa took great pains to base his insights on classical Indian Buddhist literature, illustrating his points with classical citations as well as with sayings of the masters of the earlier Kadampa tradition. In this way the text demonstrates clearly how Tibetan Buddhism carefully preserved and developed the Indian Buddhist traditions. This first of three volumes covers all the practices that are prerequisite for developing the spirit of enlightenment (bodhicitta).

Download or read book Universal aivism written by Peter Bisschop and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-09-04 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Universal Śaivism Peter Bisschop provides a critical edition and annotated translation of the sixth chapter of the Śivadharmaśāstra `Treatise on the Religion of Śiva’, the so-called Śāntyadhyāya 'Chapter on Appeasement’. The Sanskrit text is preceded by an extensive introduction on its composition, transmission and edition. The Śivadharmaśāstra has arguably played a crucial role in the formation, development and institutionalisation of Śaivism. Through a detailed study of its extensive śānti mantra, Peter Bisschop shows how the text advocates a system in which all worldly and cosmic power is ultimately dependent upon Śiva. The mantra itself is a mine of information on the evolving pantheon of early Brahmanical Hinduism. Thanks to generous support of the J. Gonda Fund Foundation, the e-book version of this volume is available in Open Access.

Book excerpt: Schon sehr fruh haben die buddhistischen Denker die Idee eines Selbstes, das uber den korperlichen und emotional-geistigen Konstituenten existiert, zu einem ihrer wichtigsten Angriffsziele gemacht. Ihre Kritik gipfelt zunachst in Vasubandhus Abhandlung gegen die buddhistischen Personalisten (fruhes 5. Jh. u. Z.). Santarak'ita und Kamalasila, Philosophen des 8. Jahrhunderts, stellen einen weiteren Meilenstein in der Geschichte der Kritik an einem Selbst und einer Person dar: Ihre Tattvasa'graha(panjika) enthalt die gelehrteste und umfangreichste Darstellung des Themas (wenigstens vor den Nairatmyasiddhi-Monographien von Kar'akagomin und Sa'karanandana). Was aber haben Dignaga und Dharmakirti (6. Jh. u. Z.') zu dieser hitzigen Debatte beigetragen? Die vorgelegte Studie versucht diese Frage wenigstens teilweise zu beantworten und bietet eine Darlegung von Dharmakirtis Stellungnahme zu einem Selbst. Die Einleitung stellt seine Ansicht von einem Selbst als dem Kern des Nichtwissens dar. Kapitel 1 widmet sich Dharmakirtis Kritik der beiden wesentlichen Auspragungen des buddhistischen Substantialismus, der Lehre von einer Buddha-Natur und der Lehre von einer Person (pudgalavada). Kapitel 2 stellt seine Methode der Entkraftigung der nicht-buddhistischen Argumente fur ein Selbst dar. Kapitel 3 bietet zum Abschluss eine eingehende Darstellung von Dharmakirtis wichtigstem eigenem Beitrag zum Thema, seinem Nachweis, dass (der Glaube an) die Existenz eines Selbstes eine Erlosung unmoglich macht.
