Buddhism in Translations - § 78. The Trance of Cessation. Inspirations and expirations, O householder, are bodily functions, therefore inspirations and expirations constitute bodily karma; first occur reasoning and reflection and afterwards articulate utterance, therefore reasoning and reflection constitute vocal karma; perception and sensation are mental Therefore he must reflect on this, and so enter his trance as to rise from it of his own accord. He should not enter this trance without first reflecting whether his span of life is to last seven days longer or not. www.sacred-texts.com /bud/bits/bits078.htm

Ánanda Márga Gurukula Sarkar’s spiritual organization, Ananda Marga, elevates the status of the householder from its greatly inferior position in medieval Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism. Sarkar’s view of creation perhaps better reflects the Upanisads than Buddhism, seeing all as an expression of brahman rather focusing on the suffering inherent in samsara. Sarkar’s asceticism is not solely for samnyasin s: his householder disciples also incorporate various levels of asceticism into their lives. www.gurukul.edu /pubs_journal_karmasamnyasa.php   (1017 words)

Rhinoceros Sutra buddhism The Rhinoceros Sutra (Pali: Khaggavis N a-sutta) is a very early Buddhist Buddhist texts advocating the merit of solitary asceticism for pursuing enlightenment (as opposed to practicing as a householder or in a community of monks or nuns). The early date for the text along with its rather unusual (within community-oriented Buddhism) approach to monastic life have led some scholars to suggest that it represents a holdover from a highly primitive stage of Buddhism. The sutra, which consists of a series of verses which discuss both the perils of community life and the benefits of solitude, and almost all of which end with the admonition that seekers should wander alone like rhinoceros. read-and-go.hopto.org /Buddhist-texts/Rhinoceros-Sutra.html   (317 words)

Abstracts Panels Indologie It will focus on Newar Buddhism where this ritual has been adapted in two different ways, in accordance with the segmentation of the Buddhist society into a "lay-monastic" caste (householder priests and monks) and into the lower lay castes (merchants, artisans and peasants), which have no historic connections with monkhood. The twofold adaptation of the upanayana ritual allows Newar Buddhism to uphold the strict separation of monkhood and laity even in a context where the institution of 'vocational', unmarried monks has long ago vanished. Despite the adaptation of elements of the upanayana rite, the ritual clearly breaks with the Hindu model when after the tonsure (cudakarana) the top-knot (shikha) is cut off and the neophyte dons the monk's robes in exchange for the 'loin cloth' (kaupina). www.uni-bamberg.de /split/dot/kurz/panel/Gengnagel.htm   (317 words)

The early date for the text along with its rather unusual (within community-oriented Buddhism) approach to monastic life have led some scholars to suggest that it represents a holdover from a highly primitive stage of Buddhism.

Ippen, hijiri - Articles - House of Hermits - Hermitary Ippen (1239-1289) is important to the history of eremiticism because he places even the symbol of the hermit's hut within the context of the Buddhist concept of impermanence. Ippen is a model hijiri because he rejects both the life of the householder and the life of the institutional monk in a temple or monastery setting. Ippen is famous as the great proselytizer of Pure Land Buddhism, for the itinerancy of his life and the fervor of his teaching. www.hermitary.com /articles/ippen.html   (1092 words)

The Caste System in Hinduism The second stage is the gârhastya, or the stage of the householder, which is taken far more seriously in Hinduism than in Jainism or Buddhism and is usually regarded as mandatory, like studenthood, although debate continued over the centuries whether or not this stage could be skipped in favor of a later one. The fourth stage is the sannyâsa, or the stage of the wandering ascetic, the sannyâsin (or sâdhu).

The Ideal of Service in Buddhism By expounding the duties of the householder, Buddha taught with clarity how people should live with their family members and other members of society, bringing happiness not only to themselves but also to the world at large. The “Mahaparinibbana Sutta” of the Dighanikaya describes seven conditions for the welfare, prosperity, and happiness of any community, nation or country.

Though it was probably written in the first or second century BCE, the traditions that it presents are much older, perhaps dating back to the period of Aryan invasions almost fifteen hundred years earlier.

As well as the central teacher of Buddhism, Buddha is an avatar of Vishnu in Hinduism.

Hinduism & Buddhism The varnashramadharma, an ancient Sanskrit text, dictates the traditional Hindu stages of life, the second one being “householder,” which entails getting married and having children. In this way, Hindu texts and culture are not as much homophobic or anti-gay as they are pro-heterosexual. The overwhelming emphasis on marriage and childbearing forces homosexuality into the closet within Hindu culture. www.users.drew.edu /rrowley/BuddhismPerspective.htm   (186 words)

Kamat's Potpourri: Beautiful Erotic Sculptures of Khajuraho, India It is possible that at the time just preceding the construction of these sculptures, monastic Buddhism was prevalent, people were losing interest in the householder-life, and the temples were built to attract people to sex and family life and to renew Hinduism. A maiden may appear as a mother to Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, as a sister to Swamy Vivekananda, as a daughter to an elderly person and as a lover to a romantic. However, some intellectuals have measured the Khajuraho sculptures and argue that they are of the same proportions as human bodies. www.kamat.com /kalranga/erotica/khaju.htm   (1664 words)

Buddhism in Sri Lanka - Mihintalava Website - LakeHouse With due Royal patronage in full measure, Arhat Mahinda began his mission with earnest continuing preaching the dhamma to vast congregations of people from the royal householder to the commoners in and out of the citadel. Arhat Mahinda came on the Poson Poya day 2301 years ago not to introduce Buddha Dhamma to the reigning monarch King Devanampiyatissa but to fulfil his well planned program of establishing a national Order of Bhikkhus, a Sinhala Bhikkhu Sangha in Lankadipa. Arhat Mahinda's introduction to King Devanampiyatissa amply justifies the whole episode as a well-planned tour of duty. www.lakehouse.lk /mihintalava/binlanka.htm   (1180 words)

HERE-NOW4U :K. R. Sundararajan: THE HINDU MODELS OF INTER-RELIGIOUS DIALOGUE This lack of direct link between dharma and moksha is also reflected in the tensional relationship between two important stages of life in the Hindu tradition, namely, the married householder (gruhastha) and the mendicant (sannyasi). After reading the Hindu critique of Buddhism especially in darshanas (philosophical schools), one is often led to wonder whether the Hindu philosophers ever cared to look into primary Buddhist sources before writing their critiques of them. One has to practice the disciplines of knowledge (jnana yoga), devotion (bhakti yoga), and self-surrender (prapatti) additionally, and even the dharmic duties included under the discipline of action (karma yoga) had to be performed in the spirit of detachment, if these actions are to become spiritually efficacious in strengthening one's pursuit of moksha. www.here-now4u.de /eng/the_hindu_models_of_inter-reli.htm   (1180 words)

The Essentials of Buddhadhamma in Practice Anicca is, for the householder, the gem of life which he will treasure to create a reservoir of calm and balanced energy for his own well-being and for the welfare of society. This understanding of Anicca can be developed, as in the days of the Buddha, by persons who have no book-knowledge whatsoever of Buddhism. Anicca, when properly developed, strikes at the root of one's physical and mental ills and removes gradually whatever is bad in one, that is, the sources of such physical and mental ills. www.buddhistinformation.com /essentials_of_buddhadhamma_in_practice.htm   (3183 words)
