Buddhisms andDeconstructions

JIN Y. PARK Ed.Afterword by ROBERT MAGLIOLA

Until recently, East-West comparativephilosophy has been at best sporadic gestures

marked by an imbalance in the way the Easternand Western ideas were presented. A rather un-successful pattern in comparison was partly due tothe socio-political and historical relationshipbetween the East and the West. The philosophicalorientation of the Westís continental metaphysicalthinking and the nature of the project of modernityand enlightenment have also played a significantrole in creating this pattern. It would be prematureto say that such a practice has completelydisappeared. However, along with the emergenceof nonsubstantialist philosophy in the West, a newdirection in comparative philosophy is definitelyon the horizon. Buddhisms and Deconstructions, withits acknowledgment of the plurality of bothBuddhist traditions and deconstructive philoso-

phy, is an attempt tomark such a change.

The thirteen essaysin this volume attest to anew relationship bet-ween Eastern andWestern thought, ex-pand the scope of ourunderstanding of eachphilosophical tradition,and thus offer a newframework for both.This set of essays crystallizesdecades of important development in the dialogue betweenBuddhism and postmodern thought, revealing their relevance toeach other and to the future of philosophical reflection, East andWest.

óJOHN MAKRANSKY, Boston College

Buddhisms and Deconstructions generously provides anintriguing reading in search of a Middle Path that goes beyondall opposition and dualism, envisioning a mutually enrichingdialogue by way of cross-bordering, beyond all limits,categorizations, and self-enclosure.

The Religions of TibetGIUSEPPE TUCCI

Translated from the German and Italian byGEOFFREY SAMUEL

In this book Giuseppe Tucci has drawn on hiswide knowledge of the Tibetan language and

literature, and on the many expeditions he hasmade to Western andCentral Tibet, to pro-duce a work which isboth authoritative andcomprehensive. Afterdescribing the diffu-sion of Buddhism inTibet, Professor Tuccidiscusses the generalcharacteristics of Lama-ism and goes on to writeabout monastery life,religious festivals andthe Bon religion. Much of the material, such as thechapter on the teaching of the various Buddhistschools, and part of that on folk religion, representthe results of previously unpublished research.

This English version includes certainmodifications and additions made in the Italiantranslation. These include two summaries whichclarify the meditative stages of the two processeswhich are open to the neophyte; (a) the gradualmethod of the Prajnaparamita, as systematizedby Nagarjuna and his followers, and presented inthe Abhisamayalamkara; and (b) the method of theTantra (rgyud) which naturally starts off from theprevious method, which forms an indispensablepreliminary training, but is more complex, inparticular in that it proposes experiencing in thisvery life the concatenation of the three phases ofthe path (lam) of salvation: (i) the initial phase,(ii) the path itself, (iii) the phase of the result oreffect.

Life and Works of D∂pa√kara›r∂j¤åna (alias At∂‹a) in relation to the

History and Religion of Tibet withTibetan Sources

The Philosophy ofHinduism and Other Essays

DR. S. RADHAKRISHNAN

This book contains six seminal essays by theformer Philosopher-President of India, Dr. S.

Radhakrishnan. Published in different journals atdifferent times they touch the basic tenets ofIndian Philosophy and the cross-culturaldevelopments in other religions, like Buddhism,Islam and Christianity vis à vis Hinduism.

The first essay The Philosophy of Hinduismdescribes the central features of the faith ofHindus, philosophical doctrine, religiousexperience, ethical character, and traditional faith.The second essay The Hindu Dharma stands for allthose ideals and institutions that shape thecharacter of man both as an individual and as amember of society. In the third essay Islam andIndian Thought Dr Radhakrishnan is of the view thatignorance of otherís faith is the mother of injusticeand error. While there is much for Islam to learnfrom a sympathetic understanding of Hinduism,there is also much for Hinduism to learn fromIslam. In the fourth essay Hindu Thought andChristian Doctrine the author states briefly some ofthe fundamentals of the Hindu faith, namelythose common ideas regarding the problems of

God, man and hisfuture, which indicateits affinities to theChristian doctrine. Dr.Radhakrishnan doesnot regard Buddhism asan entirely fresh startwith no roots in the pastin the fifth essay. It is alater phase of thegeneral movement ofthought of which theUpanishads are theearlier. In the last essay

of Indian Philosophy, the author finds all thephilosophical development, from the naive beliefthat the world is ruled by the gods of sun and sky, tothe religious interpretations of the supreme realityby Sankara, Ramanuja, Madhva and Nimbarka,Vallabha and Jiva Gosvamiñtruly a remarkablejourney in the history of human race.

The Buddhist PilgrimageDUNCAN FORBES

This is personal journey by a well-known travel-writer, whose lifelong interest in Buddhism

leads him to present his own picture of the originand development ofthe faith and topropose answers toquestions that are stillunresolved. Tales toldalong the way by peoplewho have been att-racted to the same goalenrich the narrative.

The story of thehistorical Buddhaís lifeon earth, to each of theeight places of tradi-tional pilgrimage, which are hallowed by theBuddhaís Birth, Enlightenment, Decease andother significant events have been well docum-ented. Other sites, which are important in the storyof Gautama Buddha and have been rediscoveredin recent years, are also described, and the authorsuggests where a search should be made for thosethat still remain hidden. He also discusses theproblems that arose when attempts were made, littlemore than a hundred years ago, to identify theseplaces in the light of the descriptions by Chinesepilgrims that have come down to us. He reveals theerrors of that time, which have been rectified inthe light of more recent evidences.

The author has also provided an original planfor each of the sites visited as well as a fulldescription of the place, and the book is illustratedby the authorís own photographs.Forbes has written an excellent travel book, emphasizing the maintravel sites of the historical Buddha, from his birth to his decease,mainly in the area of Bihar. Forbes uses fine descriptive power topresent his own travel experiences along this same route, whilehelping the reader with a diagram for each of these centers....

Fortunately he knows scholarly facts of the Buddhaís life tocombine with the travel accounts. This is certainly a commendablework.

Någårjunaís Philosophyas Presented in

The Mahå-Praj¤åpåramitå-›åstraK. VENKATA RAMANAN

The present work as indicated in the title isdevoted primarily to a study of the Maha-

prajnaparamita-sastra (abbreviated in the presentwork as the Sastra) which is a commentary on thePrajnaparamitasutra of 25,000 gathas, the Pancavim-satisahasrika Prajnaparamita. The Sastra is the mostcomprehensive work of those traditionallyattributed to Nagarjuna, the well known teacher ofthe Madhyamika philosophy or the philosophy ofthe Middle Way. The original work is lost and ispreserved only in its Chinese translation.

This is a philosophical study intended to giveas far as possible an objective and complete pictureof the Madhyamika philosophy as it can be gatheredfrom the whole of this text. Meanings of Sanskrit

and Chinese terms areexpounded, conceptsare made clear, andsupplementary mater-ials are supplied in thenotes. The study isprefixed with a shorthistorical account of thebroad lines of Buddhistphilosophy in itsearly stage.

The aim of thiswork is to elucidate the

meaning of the Middle Way, the way ofcomprehension. ëEverything stands in harmonywith him who stands in harmony with him, whostands in harmony with Sunyata, which is not arejection of existence or of understanding but ofthe misconstruction of the sense of the real or theerror of misplaced absoluteness which is the originof clinging and the root of conflict and suffering.í

AyurvedaThe Science of Self-Healing

A Practical Guide

DR. VASANT LAD

The authorís inspiration for this book grew outof a strong belief that Ayurveda should be

shared with readers in a simple, practical way.Heretofore, Ayurvedahas been viewed as anesoteric science. Yet itis a simple, practical sci-ence of life whoseprinciples are uni-versally applicable toeach individualís dailyexistence. Ayurvedaspeaks to every elementand facet of human life,offering guidance thathas been tested andrefined over many centuries to all those who seekgreater harmony and peace and longevity.

The science of Ayurveda is based not onconstantly changing research data, but on theeternal wisdom of the rishis who received thisscience, expressive of the perfect wholeness ofCosmic Consciousness, through religiousintrospection and meditation. Ayurveda is atimeless science and the reflection and elucidationof her, is hoped, will serve the reader throughouthis or her life.

The knowledge supplied in this book will beof lasting value to the reader. This is mainlyconcerned with presenting a basic over-view ofAyurveda, including techniques of examination,diagnosis and treatment; promotion of longevity;the use of herbal remedies and other practicaleveryday aspects of maintaining health.Lad states ...the patient is a living book, and for understandingand physical well-being, he or she must be read daily.

óHindustan Times, June, 1996

...written in an unorthodox style, the book is designed to appeal toeven the most sceptical mind.

The Jungle and the Aromaof Meats

An Ecological Theme in HinduMedicine

FRANCIS ZIMMERMANN

The theory of humors, vital fluids whoseproportions in the human body determine its

health and temperament, is far from outdated. Andwhat we sometimes think of as a modern concernwith ecology and alternative medicine is really asold as the traditional medical techniques of theclassical West and of South Asia. It is to the latterthat Francis Zimmermann turns his attention, in aremarkable evocation that combines Sanskritstudies and anthropology.

He reconstructs and exposes the linkagebetween humors, persons, and soils in classicalHindu medicine. His work will interest thoseinvolved in the areas of medical anthropology,medical history, philosophy of science, philosophyof language, and South Asian studies. In classicalAyurvedic medicine, a comprehensive view of thewhole human person included the patientís

humoral integrationinto the surroundingsoil.

The Jungle was themost crucial environ-ment, and the Junglewas ñ and is ñ the dryland of the Punjab andthe Delhi Doab, anopen vegetation ofthorny shrubs. Thepolarity of dry lands andwet lands framed not

only the whole Ayurvedic materia medica but alsothe more general conception of a comic physiologygoverned by Agni (the sun) and Soma (thedispenser of rain). Medicine in the context ofthought and practice associated with the Junglewas, and still in modern India, a kind of agriculture.

Tibetan Religious DancesTibetan Text and Annotated

Translation of the ëChams YigíRENE DE NEBESKY-WOJKOWITZ

This unique work provides invaluable materialrelated to the Tibetan sacred dances, which

have met their doom with the destruction of monasticlife in Tibet.

Nebesky-Wojkowitz, during several periods ofhis field work in the Himalayas has studied theseBuddhist temple dances. He brought to theirdescription his expert knowledge of Tibetaniconography and ritual. Of particular interest is thetranslation of the Tibetan texts containing detailedinstructions for the performances of the dances.The existence of such choreographical manualsexplains the uniformity in the performance oftemple dances and the persistence of anunchanging tradition over long periods. Realizingthat none of the Buddhist rituals referred in thisbook can be performed in the present day Tibet andwith the rapid decline of the art of í chams-dances,Dr. de Nebesky-Wojkowitzís posthumous workbecomes all the more valuable.Delhi, 1997.

The Kåtyåyana ›rautaSμutra

Rules for the Vedic Sacrifices(Translated into English)

H.G. RANADE

The Srautasutras in Sanskrit form a well-markedgroup of works, forming the major part of the

Vedanga called Kalpa. The Vedic affiliation of aSrautasutra determines its main interest in thesacrifice, namely, the duties of the officiating priestbelonging to the Veda, while the differences inthe Sakhas pertain to minor variations in theperformance of the ritual.

Translation of the Sutra-works of Sanskrit isusually a difficult task due to their extreme brevityand that of a Srautasutra is still more so because ofthe complexity of its subject matter. Dr. H.G.Ranade has offered to the interested reader acomplete and faithful translation of the Srautasutraof Katyayana, which is both accurate and readable.Pune, 1978, Pp. xvi, 656, x, biblio., index. 300 (PB)

The seventeen essays concern a wide range oftopics: Sculptural style and aesthetics, Iconographyof Hindu and Buddhist subjects, Hinduarchitecture, Floor paintings and wall paintings inKerala, and also Islamic topics (the mosques ofShah Jahan, and Akbar as a patron of painting).Delhi, 1981.

Collected Papers on Buddhist StudiesóPADMANABH SJAINI

This collection of essays is important for thoseinterested in the intellectual matrix in which Buddhismarose, flourished and decayed in India. As with anycollection of papers, it is not for reading at one sitting;but, allowing for the contexts in which they werewritten, many of these papers are still valuable sourcesof information and ideas for Buddhist students inthe new millennium.óThe Middle Way, Vol. 78, No. 4, February-April, 2004

The Cult of Jagannatha: Myths and RithualsóEd. by Jose Carlos Gomes da SilvaVishnu as Jagannatha is radically different fromVishnu as Venkatesa (Tirumala)...The rituals ofJagannatha is therefore not ordained strictlyaccording to the Vedic principles. ...the presentauthor must be admired for his insight into thestructural arrangement of the myths and ritualsrelating to the issues concerned in a codified manner.

CHIPS FROM AN INDIC WORKSHOP

Mahatma Gandhi andPata¤jali

Mahatma Gandhi followed the example ofsaintly persons before him in foundingå‹ramas or hermitage. People residing inthese å‹ramas were supposed to followbroadly the yamas and niyamas laid down inthe Yogasμutra attributed to Pata¤jali, whichconstitute the first two of the eight ìlimbsîof the system of yoga described therein. Andof course Mahatma Gandhi himself tried tomanifest them in his life as far as possible.He is indeed well-known the world over forhis espousal of non-violence (ahi≈så) andtruth (satya) and also known, specially inIndia, for his espousal of celibacy(brahmacarya). These are listed among thefive yamas in the Yogasμutra (II.30).

Towards the end of his life, when thepolitical situation in India began to slip outof his control, he wondered if he had reallyperfected these virtues. He tried to test, forinstance, his commitment to celibacy, uponhis failure to control the communalconflagration which was engulfing thecountry. However, according to theYogas μutra, the fruit of celibacy isindefatigability (II. 38). The ability to pacifyis the fruit of observing abi≈så or non-violence (II.35): tat sannidhau vairatyåga¨.Was Mahatma Gandhi testing himself for thewrong virtue?
