Buddhist Learning in South Asia
Author: Pintu Kumar
Publisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 1498554938
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 339
Book Description
This interdisciplinary study is the first book to provide a complete survey of Śrī Nālandā Mahāvihāra from the perspective of its educational curricula as well as its religious influence. It provides detailed descriptions of the origin, growth, management, and academic and cultural life of Nālandā, with particular attention to its pedagogy, curriculum, teachers, and students. It also presents an alternative interpretation of nationalist and popular notions about Śrī Nālandā as an international university and proves that it was, at its core, a Buddhist monastery and an institution of Buddhist learning focused on the study and promotion of Buddhism.

Buddhist Approach to Harmonious Families, Healthcare and Sustainable Societies
Author: Thich Duc Thien
Publisher: VIETNAM BUDDHIST UNIVERSITY PUBLICATIONS
ISBN: 6048979274
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 849
Book Description
EDITORS' INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND There have been major changes in world today and that the term Global Leadership and Sustainable Development is no longer taken for granted as a point of reference for understanding the contemporary chaotic situation. These disruptive changes mean that it is now arguable as to whether we still live in a world of justice, egality, peace and prosperity. The nature of these changes and the concepts of the Buddhist approach are central to the whole project of this book. In this light, we place great emphasis on understanding Buddhist teaching in dealing with this matter. We argue that any investigation of the changing character and context of the present time, needs to take account of the Buddhist philosophy. We focus on providing a thorough and critical understanding of change taking place as a starting point of discussion. In doing so, we attempt to clarify the nature of the Buddhist approach. It may be more productively understood as the result of a complex contested and fragile set of arrangements, which in this book we term as “approach”. We do not imply that the frameworks based on the Buddhist teachings are fully fixed and agreed by everybody. Rather it would refer to a set of arrangements that need to be further discussed. Given the above, this volume collects together papers presented at the international workshop on Buddhist Approach to Harmonious Families, Healthcare and Sustainable Societies which took place on 13 May 2019 at International Conference Center Tam Chuc, Ha Nam, Vietnam on the occasion of THE 16TH UNITED NATIONS DAY OF VESAK CELEBRATIONS 2019. The participants in this workshop were not representative of the mainstream thinking or conventional wisdom of this field, although this volume reflects this richness and diversity. Treating the Buddha teachings as a basic theoretical reconstruction, we examine the relationships between the societies and Buddhist responsibilities. We combine analyses of the conflicts, trends and dynamics affecting future development with more focused studies on a range of policy areas: migration, education, leadership, climate change, etc… Two of our most crucial presumptions are that making Buddhism great again at the time of disruption is our first and foremost duty and the Buddhist responsibility can contribute to creating a new foundation for Global Leadership and Sustainable Development.

The Rational View
Author: Alok Barman
Publisher: Alok Barman
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 386
Book Description
Rational thinking is a process that involves using reason and logic to think with facts and data, and to draw sensible conclusions. It's a systematic and objective way of thinking that's based on evidence, rather than emotions or biases. The goal of rational thinking is to produce reasonable solutions or reasons. By analyzing archaeological remnants discovered in India (inscriptions, stone slabs, forts, holy sites, civilization-culture), social people from all states, and continual observation in my life, I gradually began to see a glimpse of reality. If you observe and examine the genuine truth of society in the proper way, you will undoubtedly come closer to the truth. After examining all of the data, I had the urge to write everything down, so I began putting everything into words one by one, and as a result, my above thoughts are now available to you in the shape of a book. Regardless, for the time being, I shall consider my efforts to be incomplete. In truth, my efforts will be judged effective only if each individual experiences all of these things firsthand.

Records, Recoveries, Remnants and Inter-Asian Interconnections
Author: Anjana Sharma
Publisher: Flipside Digital Content Company Inc.
ISBN: 9814786438
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 279
Book Description
Records, Recoveries, Remnants and Inter-Asian Interconnections: Decoding Cultural Heritage has its conceptual core in the inter-regional networks of Nalanda Mahavihara and its unique place in the Asian imaginary. The revival of Nalanda university in 2010 as a symbol of a shared inter-Asian heritage is this collection's core narrative. The multidisciplinary essays interrogate ways in which ideas, objects, texts, and travellers have shaped - and in turn have been shaped by - changing global politics and the historical imperative that underpins them. The question of what constitutes cultural authenticity and heritage valuation is inscribed from positions that support, negate, or reframe existing discourses with reference to Southeast and East Asia. The essays in this collection offer critical, scholarly, and nuanced views on the vexed questions of regional and inter-regional dynamics, of racial politics and their flattening hegemonic discourses in relation to the rich tangible and intangible heritage that defines an interconnected Asia.
