	Research - Thesis Bibliography - Journal of Global Buddhism
		The general objective of the dissertation is a description and analysis of East Asian Buddhism in Brazil and then a comparison with the models supplied by the more general theories about the Buddhism in western countries, for a complementation and critique of these perspectives with the Brazilian case.
		The history of Buddhism in Brazil is mainly related to Asian immigration, especially Japanese, because Brazilians didn't have interest in Buddhism before the 60s, in contrast to the USA and Europe.
		As part of the systematization of East Asian Buddhism in Brazil, I will try to detail the history and the present situation of the Japanese Buddhism in Brazil, since the majority of temples arose due to the Japanese immigration in the 20th century and Brazil had the biggest Japanese community outside Japan.

		The Committee on the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History and East Asian Languages, a standing committee of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences with membership from the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations and the Department of History, was established in October 1941 to administer this PhD program.
		Although it contributes to the University's Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations, the institute itself is a foundation and not a teaching organization.
		Established in 1972, the Council on East Asian Studies was formed to coordinate all teaching and research in East Asian studies at Harvard University.

		To continue the ‘person’ example, generally in East Asian philosophy, a particular person is not a discrete individual defined in terms of some inherent nature, but is a centre of constitutive roles and relationships.
		A preoccupation in classical East Asian philosophy, then, is the cultivation of this centripetal harmony as it begins with oneself, and radiates outward.
		The East Asian world view is thus dominated by this ‘bottom-up’ and emergent sense of order which begins from the coordination of concrete detail.

		In this context, Buddhism in all forms are considered together as a single religious tradition, as are African Religions, Hinduism, Islam, and so forth.
		It is possible to work with relevant faculty to create a specialized program, but the student in question must have an excellent track record, a clearly articulated plan, and discuss the possibility prior to application to the department.
		In that instance, it is advisable to choose a relevant lingua franca, such as Swahili (East Africa) or Arabic (North Africa) or Hausa (West Africa) since such widely spoken African languages can be formally studied up to an intermediate or advanced level in the United States.

		In the related categories of East Asian dance and theatre, it is noteworthy that in the East Asian countries, music, dance, and drama are typically linked, and there is little evidence of separate evolution of form.
		Therefore Asian artifacts were used as objets d'art, or artistic curios, in Western interiors of all periods.
		East Asian calligraphy is traditionally done with a brush and ink on paper or silk.

		This section of the Gateless Passage is a presentation of the history of Buddhism in China, that by neccesity is interwoven with a general summary of Chinese history.
		Chinese Buddhism by itself will be a task enough to cover, even when limited ourselves to the period of roughly 1 CE to 1000 CE.
		At the same time, Buddhism was adopted and promoted by many of the occupying dynasties in the North, where it eventually would achieve a popularity nearing the status of a state religion.

		The first half of the course focuses on the evolution of Buddhist doctrines, practices, and institutions in India, from the origins of the religion as a group of world-renouncing ascetics through the development of large state-supported monastic communities and the rise of the movements known as Mahayana and Tantra.
		It also deals with the issues of Buddhism in the modern world and the contemporary spread of various branches of the tradition from Asia to the West.
		The course is also intended as a preliminary introduction to the state of the field in East Asian studies.

		One reason for the neglect of this important aspect of Sung society is undoubtedly the tenacity of the view that the Sung marked the beginning of an inexorable decline of Buddhism in China that extended down through the remainder of the imperial era.
		Whereas most previous discussions of Buddhism in the Sung have tended to concentrate on Ch'an, the present volume is notable for giving T'ien-t'ai its due.
		Studies of Buddhism in China continue to flourish, and this is an excellent collection of essays that showcase the strengths of a historically-informed understanding of this religious tradition.

	Innate Enlightenment and No-thought
		Under this interpretation, most of the schools of Buddhism that developed in East Asia, most importantly Ch'an (Zen) and Hua-yen, cannot be considered Buddhist, as it is in these schools where the conception of Innate Enlightenment was prioritized, serving as the basis for the "faith" that empowers practice.
		But the fact is that the critique is being made toward the East Asian meditative schools in general, with no acknowledgment being made regarding the significant differences observable in the character of the various streams of Ch'an Sôn in China, Korea and Japan.
		But nonetheless there is a difference between the East Asian interpretations of these categories, as compared with their Indian correlatives, but this is more a difference in practical approach, rather than in the nature of the ontological constructs themselves.

		The most formative period of East Asian Buddhism, particularly in China, occurred during the three hundred years of the 5th to 7th centuries.
		As Canada Research Chair in East Asian Buddhism at the University of British Columbia, Dr. Jinhua Chen is the first historian to focus on broadening the scope of this classic study.
		He is also studying recent, influential scholarly discussions of two key schools of East Asian Buddhism, Chan (called "Zen" in Japan) and Esoteric Buddhism, to explore whether, and to what extent, he can reconstruct these Buddhist traditions.

		Buddhism is an enormous "system of objects": monumental mountain complexes, land holdings, temples, statues, paintings, ritual implements, talismans, amulets, rosaries, clothes, texts, diplomas and certificates of initiation, and so forth.
		A primary theme of the panel was an exploration of the complex relations between materiality and the sacred in East Asian Buddhism.
		This paper attempted to understand this process by looking at an ideological exchange in Buddhism grounded within symbolic structure: a material level (a discourse of land as an economic necessity) and an ideological level (donating land as practicing Buddhism).

		Acceptance to the field of Asian Religions is contingent upon the agreement of a faculty member to serve as the student's committee chair and principal advisor for the duration of his or her graduate studies.
		In the Asian area the distinctive and perhaps unique character of Temple's program has been and continues to be its focus on Asian philosophy and religious thought, comparative and constructive, as living traditions in the context of contemporary Asian-Asian and Asian-Western encounters.
		Students in Buddhist studies and East Asian religions also draw on the diverse faculty and institutional and facilities in Asian history, anthropology, literature, history of art and architecture, and political science.

	Buddhism in East Asia: RLG371H1S
		I knew the basic principles behind Buddhism from a religion course taken in high school and I was aware of some historical details regarding Buddhism in East Asian history from a couple East Asian courses.
		For instance, in talking about Buddhism and Buddhist studies in North America, he talks about mediation and what mediation meant to him and this is reflected in the quote he give: “Meditation can do so many things for a person; however it depends on that person.”.
		So it would seem at this time Buddhism was developed from the top, that is, the intellectuals were the ones that would eventually propagate it down to the masses (I think this was mentioned in class but interesting to see it in the reading).
