This book engages the reader with its story-telling style as it illustrates the principles of Buddhism with concrete examples. Paying special attention to the rise of Buddhist practice in the West, Habito introduces the novice to Buddhist experience in its historical unity and the variety of traditions that reflect its essence. Integrated into Habito's text are five personal accounts by practicing Buddhists: on being a Therevada Buddhist by the Venerable Dhammananda, Dr. Chatsumarn Kabilsing; on being a Zen Buddhist by Jan Chozen Bays; on being a Tibetan Buddhist by Judith Simmer Brown; on being a Pure Land Buddhist by Kenneth Tanaka; and on living the Lotus by Virginia Straus

 

17. Nagarjuna & the Philosophy of Openness/ Nancy McCagney/ Rs. 400

 

 Nancy McCagney demonstrates that the concept of space ('akasa') in early Indian Mahayana Buddhism is the root metaphor for Nagarjuna's understanding of 'sunyata', or openness. Nagarjuna's use of the term 'sunyata' was new, and contrasted with the word's use in Pali Buddhist literature. By using the word to mean 'openness,' Nagarjuna was able to elucidate, through a deeper analysis of impermanence, a consistent philosophical foundation for the truth and efficacy of Gautama's Middle Way. McCagney's book will be important for those studying Indian philosophy, Buddhism, and the philosophy of religion.

 

18. Mediating the Power of Buddhas- Ritual in the  Manjusrimulakalpa / Glenn Wallis/   Rs. 600

 

Analyzes a seventh-century ritual manual that provides both a rich source of information of medieval Buddhist life and addresses the ongoing concern of how an adherent can encounter the power of a buddha.

Mediating the Power of Buddhas
offers a fascinating analysis of the seventh-century ritual manual, the Mañjusrimulakalpa. This medieval text is intended to reveal the path into a ritual universe where the power of a buddha abides. Author Glenn Wallis traces the strategies of the Mañjusrimulakalpa to enable its committed reader to perfect the promised ritual, uncovering what conditions must be met for ritual practice to succeed and what personal characteristics practitioners must possess in order to realize the ritual intentions of the Buddhist community. The manual itself was written at a key point in Buddhist history, one when Hindu forms of practice were still imitated and on the cusp of the shift from Mahayana to Vajrayana (or Tantric) Buddhism. In addition, the Mañjusrimulakalpa presents a rich compendium of Buddhist life in an earlier era, containing information on a variety of its readers' concerns: astrology, astronomy, medicine and healing, ritual practice, iconography, devotion, and meditation.

> Dear Colleagues,
>
> The proposed conference would focus on Buddhist sites and remains that
> have been worked up during the last six decades or so. It would
> include both kinds of papers - straightforward ones that just report
> archaeological finds; but will also have a second part to it that
> interrogates the methodological/ theoretical frameworks within which
> archaeological work is carried out. Some of the questions that the
> proposed conference will seek to address are: how does one define a
> Buddhist site? How can one show the relationship between a religious
> centre and the lay community through archaeological work? Is it
> possible to meaningfully interpret a multi-religious and multi-ethnic
> landscape through archaeological means?
>
> The proposed conference will greatly facilitate advanced research in
> the archaeology of the region by the comparison of data from various
> parts of the Subcontinent. For the theoretical aspects it will be
> seminal to understand, for example, the development of the concept of
> rock sculpture and rock caves/ hermitages - e.g. in the second half
> of the Millennium all around the Buddhist oikoumene (lit. the
> inhabited earth) - and its reflection in the landscape of the Buddhist
> sites in the region.
>
> The Conference will be held at the Buddhist Cultural Centre, Colombo,
> Sri Lanka for 3 days from 22 to 24 August, 2012.
>
> The SAARC Cultural Centre invites all the Member States to send a
> minimum of four nominations (maximum 10 persons can be nominated by a
> Member State) from amongst the experts and academicians of their
> country.
>
> The SAARC Cultural Centre would also accept the participation of other
> experts from the region (other than the nominees of the respective
> SAARC Member States) as well as from those residing outside the SAARC
> Region provided they are able to meet their travel and accommodation
> expenses to attend the Conference. However, to facilitate their stay
> during the Conference, the SAARC Cultural Centre would assist them in
> securing accommodation in guest houses/ hostels at economic/ subsided
> rates.

> Ed note: Henry Scholberg and I were students under Burton Stein in
> 1960-61 and during the transition of Charles Leslie Ames' collection
> to the University of Minnesota Library, I often worked with him as a
> volunteer--while also spending hours 'shelf-reading' the extensive
> array of titles that Mr. Ames had accumulated. (Ames had become
> interested in India when he first read an account of the 1857 Mutinies and
> rebellion. His initial collection focused on the British in India, but in
> the 1950s, on the advice of the late Professor Morris David Morris, he
> invested heavily in rounding out the collection for an overall coverage of
> all aspects of the subcontinent. It was at Stein's suggestion that Henry
> Scholberg was given the responsibility for the Ames Library after its
> donation and transfer. During Henry's tenure, the Ames collection was
> supplemented by further purchases and by publications from the old PL-480
> program. When the new Wilson Library was constructed on the West Bank
> campus, the Ames was shifted to a new large section of that new building.
