	Buddhist Music - Sounds of the Ganges River - BLIA & FGS
		Once, while Asvaghosa was teaching the Dharma, King Kaniska deliberately fed seven horses that had not eaten for the past six days with his best food to test their reaction to Asvaghosa's teaching.
		The horses understood Asvaghosa's recitation that life was suffering, empty and impermanent.
		Asvaghosa Bodhisattva had a natural ability for blending Buddha-dharma with music which could be understood and appreciated by people from all walks of life.

	Buddhist Studies: Buddhacarita
		The first of these was written by Sangharaksa and was a combination of verse and prose, and although the original Sanskrit has been lost, a Chinese translation of it still exists.
		In 28 chapters Asvaghosa uses striking imagery and polished language to tell the Buddha's life from his birth to events immediately after his death.
		Based closely on the biographical information in the Pali Tipitaka Asvaghosa's Buddhacarita is remarkably free from the mythological accretions that surrounded the Buddha at the time, and is widely considered a masterpiece of Sanskrit literature.

		Asvaghosa of about the first century AD is the founder of the Bhuutatathaataa School; Nagarjuna of about the second century AD is the founder of the Maadhyamika School; and Maitreyanaatha is the founder of the Vijnaanavaada School.
		Asvaghosa is said to have, at first, been a Vedantin, but later converted to Buddhism.
		Asvaghosa seems implicitly to accept a kind of vijnaanavaada, as he speaks of the variety of vijnaanas.

		Nirvana is “an indefinable state, independent of all worldly ties, beyond all earthly passion, freedom from all egotistical, false ideas, - in short, it is the exact opposite of everything known to the conditioned, individual existence between birth and death.”
		The Buddha-nature, which appears in the world at various times and assists people toward enlightenment, is said to have the qualities of omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence.
		Asvaghosa wrote: “I take refuge in the greatly compassionate one, the savior of the world, omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient.” (Ward, p.

		Asvaghosa says the Tantric Teacher should be an extremely stable person, with body, speech and mind totally under control.
		It is interesting to note that ‘mutual examination’ is stressed; the value of the student and respect for the student is seen as important as that of the lama.
		Asvaghosa expresses the importance of making offerings to your Guru, and appreciating that there is no relationship you can have or any thing you can own that is more important than the relationship with your Vajra Lama.

		In the meanwhile, Manjusri who had so often heard the Lord preach, remained purposely on this earth so that the works of Asvaghosa were doubly blessed by the inspiration of this Bodhisattva presence and by the Dharmakaya.
		Asvaghosa as an intelligent Brahmin whose attention had been turned towards the Buddha teachings and who had been blessed as we have described, wrote the Mahayana Sraddhotpada Shastra.

		The baby’s first words carry forward into the lives of all it touches and all the future words, silences, and actions of all beings that will spring from it.
		Asvaghosa’s miraculous dramatization is a colorful way of underscoring the significance of any first step or first words, and the way such concreteness opens up to all that makes it possible and all that will spring forth.
		Not just the first step and word but all steps and words have no beginning or end when we know them as they are.

	2006 Abstracts for MAR-AAR
		This paper analyzes the images of the second-or third-century Indian Buddhist patriarchs Nagarjuna and Asvaghosa as they were conceived in the northern Chinese capital of Chang’an in the early fifth-century, and as found in the first independently circulating biography of Asvaghosa.
		Within these works we find the earliest biographical imagery of Nagarjuna and Asvaghosa in any language or body of literature, although it is certainly based on prior oral or written traditions that have not come down to us.
		Set against this background, my aim is to show how the received images of Nagarjuna and Asvaghosa in subsequent Buddhist traditions and in modern scholarship are fundamentally at odds with how they were conceived at the initial stage of their Chinese development.

		He saw aging, illness, and death as an absolute terror, and pinned all his hopes on the contemplative forest life as his only escape.
		As Asvaghosa, the great Buddhist poet, depicts the story, the young prince had no lack of friends and family members who tried to talk him out of those perceptions, and Asvaghosa was wise enough to show their life-affirming advice in a very appealing light.
		Still, the prince realized that if he were to give in to their advice, he would be betraying his heart.

		The book begins with a consideration of the history and social basis of the various literary languages of premodern South Asia, and a brief hint at the emergence of vernacularism.
		He charts the phenomenon of kavya, from its raw materials in the Epics and Purånas, through its earliest example per se, in Asvaghosa, its crystallization in such figures from the ancient period as Kålidåsa, Bhåravi, and Mågha, on through the medieval period.
		The work does not extend much further than about A.D. 1200 and concludes its treatment of poetry with a short treatment of the history of poetics.
