Every religion, when it encounters a new culture, transforms that culture and is in turn transformed by it. Buddhism is no exception. With each new culture it encountered - Japan, China, Tibet, Indo-China and Sri Lanka - it emerged in a new form, whether Zen, Chan, Vajrayana, or Theravada. Its latest encounter is with the West, and this cannot but prove significant, for we have the most scientific of cultures in the West, and the most scientific of religions in Buddhism. The result, as this book shows, is the merging of Buddhism and Anthropology. All the material of Cultural Anthropology is explained by Buddhism. The daring proposal of this book is that Buddhism is a universal phenomenon, but that it has not achieved this through force of arms, or even through peaceful conversion, but through natural laws. Everyone is a Buddhist practitioner, whether they know it or not. Everyone practices the Four Noble Truths and the Chain of Co-dependent Origination, because these constitute the structure of consciousness itself, and of all cultural expression. From the person in the most primitive society to the one in the most modern society, from shaman and witchdoctor to Christian, Muslim and Jew, and to Hindu and atheist, everyone obeys Buddhist laws.

This book is the first comprehensive overview of Buddhist architecture in North America and provides an analysis of Buddhist architecture and communities. Exploring the arrival of Buddhist architecture in America, the book lays out how Buddhists have expressed their spiritual beliefs in structural form in the United States. The story follows the parallel history of the religion’s emergence in the United States since the California Gold Rush to the present day. Conceived of as a general history, the book investigates Buddhist structures with respect to the humanistic qualities associated with Buddhist doctrine and how Buddhist groups promote their faith and values in an American setting. The author’s point of view starts from the ground floor of the buildings to move deeper into the space of Buddhist practice, the mind that seeks enlightenment, and the structures that help one to do so. It discusses Buddhist architecture in the United States in a manner consistent with the intensely human context of its use. A unique and ground-breaking analysis, this book adds to the study of Buddhist architecture in America while also addressing the topic of how and why Buddhists use architecture in general. It will be of interest to scholars of religion, architecture, space and place, U.S. history, Asian Studies, and Buddhist Studies. It will also be a valuable addition to the libraries of Buddhist communities across the United States and the world, since many of the observations about Buddhist architecture in the United States may also apply to structures in Europe and Asia.

Among all the religious monuments of the world, the stupa has the longest uninterrupted historical development. Though modelled after the Indian prototype, the stupa architecture was developed in all the countries where Buddhism had flourished. Over time, the structural shape of the stupa underwent significant modifications in India and the other Asian Buddhist countries.The present study shows how Tibet became a treasure house of Buddhist culture and literature--highlighting important texts dealing with stupa architecture. Various ritual activities associated with the construction of the stupa are described along with the eight fundamental types of Tibeto-Buddhist stupas and their main structural components. A survey of the stupas found in the upper Indus Valley in the Leh region of Ladakh shows their similarity to the Tibeto-Buddhist tradition. The value of the book is enhanced by an appendix with English translation of four important Tibetan texts preceded by transliteration.This monograph is the first in the new sub-series of the IGNCA on the Buddhist stupas, which would not be restricted to India alone. It is hoped that such studies will enable the art-historians and archaeologists to understand this important structural form in totality in relation to its wide geographical spread and the distinctive features of particular developments in different countries.

Theme Volume 1 (The Teaching) ... Paperback, approx. 103 pages ----- Buddhism has enjoyed increasing popularity in Western countries for decades. Unfortunately, often only some catchwords are taken over thoughtlessly and strikingly, but then do not give in their supposed meaning approximately the real doctrinal opinion of the Buddha. ----- Here now the core statements of the Buddhist teachings are conveyed in a well-founded and yet generally understandable way, i.e. without a linguistic-intellectual superstructure. The basis for this series of writings is the Theravada Buddhism handed down in the 'Pali Canon' - that is, the form taught largely true to the original by the Buddha. ----- Any serious examination of Buddhism is always a work-in-progress. Therefore a limitation of this booklet edition is neither foreseen nor planned. The series will be continuously corrected, supplemented and continued by further volumes at irregular intervals... ----- Main topics in this volume: The four truths - The eightfold path, understandably explained - The Buddhist ethics (Sila) - Mahayana, Hinayana and the Buddhist scriptures - and many more... ----- The following thematic volumes are in preparation or already in translation: Volume 2 (Meditation Practice Book), Volume 3 (Focus on Karma, Nirvana, Enlightenment, etc.), Volume 4 (Focus on Rebirth, Samsara, etc.)

This is a translation of Frauwallner's Abhidharmastudien. It analyzes the literary traditions, doctrinal tendencies, and structural methods of the Buddhist Abhidarma canon in order to expose the beginnings of systematic philosophical thought in Buddhism. Frauwallner's insights illuminate the path of meditation toward liberation, the development of Buddhist psychology, and the evolution of the Buddhist view of causality and the problem of time. He provides a clear explanation of the gradual development of Buddhist thought from its early doctrinal beginning to some of the most complex and remarkable philosophical edifices in history.

This book approaches the Dhamma, the Buddha’s teaching, from a Buddhistic perspective, viewing various individual teachings presented in hundreds of early discourses of Pali canon, comprehending them under a single systemic thought of a single individual called the Buddha. It explicates the structure of this thought, going through various contextual teachings and teaching categories of the discourses, treating them as necessary parts of a liberating thought that constitutes the right view of one who embraces the Buddha’s teaching as his or her sole philosophy of life. It interprets the diverse individual dhammas as being in congruence with each other; and as contributory to forming the whole of the Buddha’s teaching, the Dhamma. By exploring some selected topics such as ignorance, configurations, not-self, and nibbāna in thirteen chapters, the book enables readers to understand the whole (the Dhamma) in relation to the parts (the dhammas), and the parts in relation to the whole, while realizing the importance of studying every single dhamma category or topic not for its own sake but for understand the entirety of the teaching. This way of viewing and explaining the teachings of the discourses enables readers to clearly comprehend the teaching of the Buddha in early Buddhism.
