102. Tibetan Buddhism A short, comprehensive explanation of Tibetan Buddhist spiritual practice. Dzogchen. Vajrayana. Comparison with other Buddhist traditions. http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~greg.c/tibet.html

Tibetan Buddhism Tibetan Buddhism derives from the confluence of Buddhism and yoga which started to arrive in Tibet from India briefly around the late eighth century and then more steadily from the thirteenth century onwards. Indian Buddhism around that time had incorporated both Hindu yogic and tantric practices along with the classical teachings of the historical Buddha who lived around 500 BC. It acknowledged that there were two paths to enlightenment ( complete transcendence of identification with the personal ego ). One path was that taught in the sutras according to the historical teachings. The heart of sutra practice was based on morality, concentration, and wisdom ( not identifying with the personal ego ). The other path, which has become the cornerstone of Tibetan variations, was tantric. This practice blended the sutra teachings with techniques adapted from Hindu systems of yoga and tantra. Tantric systems transform the basic human passions of desire and aversion for the purpose of spiritual development. Rather than denying such primal urges, tantra purifies them into wholesome and helpful forces. It is very much like trying to deal with a wild horse charging towards you. One way is denial: put up your hands and shout out, "stop, stop!" Probably you will be bowled over by the animal. Another, more clever, approach is to step aside and then jump on its back as it charges past you. In such a case, you have a chance to start coaxing it to move in certain directions, and over time you may be able to direct it into a stable. Truthfully, one needs some skill in both self-control and acceptance if one is to be successful with tantric work.

Buddhism Group Profile History Beliefs Schools ... Bibliography I. Group Profile Name: Buddhism Founder: Siddhartha Gautama, also known as Sakyamuni (Sakya clan sage), Tathagata, the Buddha, (the "Enlightened One"), or Bhagavat ("Lord") to his followers . The Buddha is believed to be the fourth reincarnate of five earthly buddhas Date of Birth: Many Western scholars place the Buddha's lifetime from 563-483 BCE, while the Sri Lankan tradition believes the Buddha to have lived from 624-544 BCE . More recent date setting suggests that some time around 410 BCE is more accurate Birth Place: Siddhartha was born in the kingdom of the Sakayas, his country, in the town of Kapilavastu, near the border of present day India and Nepal Year Founded: Siddhartha reached Enlightenment at the age of 35 and became a supreme buddha . Depending on which set of dates one uses, the founding year could be either 528 BCE or 589 BCE. Sacred or Revered Texts: The teachings of the Buddha were not originally written down, but were transmitted in an oral tradition for several centuries. For this reason, each sutra typically begins with the phrase, "Thus have I heard" . When the written teachings emerged, they were in two different forms, the Pali canon of the Theravada tradition (written down in Sri Lanka around the middle of the 1st century BCE) and the Sanskrit of the northern Mahayana tradition

Rimé Foundation Rimé Foundation (formerly Chicago Rimé Center) is an organization supporting the development, practice and integration of the various schools of Tibetan Buddhism. While exploring the richness unique to each lineage, Rimé Foundation honors the unity inherent within the vast spectrum of Tibetan Buddhist teachings and has received the blessings of such eminent figures representing the four major schools as H H Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso, H H Dilgo Khyentse, Dzongsar Rinpoche, Dzigar Kongtröl Rinpoche (the reincarnation of Jamgön Kongtrül the Great), Lati Rinpoche, Venerable Kirti Tsenshap Rinpoche and H H Drikung Kyabgön Chetsang Rinpoche. Offering a supportive environment of dedicated individuals, Rimé Foundation has sponsored, among others, Kalachakra and Mahamudra initiations and is working to provide the Chicago community access to traditional teachings by notable masters within the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.

Zen Buddhism I. Group Profile Name: Zen Buddhism; the mystical school of Buddhism (Zen in Chinese= ch'an-na, which transliterates the sanskrit term dhyana, which means "meditation") Founder: Siddhartha Gautama, the original founder of the school of Buddhism Date of Birth: 560 BC Death: 460 BC Birth Place: Southern India Year Founded: 500 BC Brief History At the age of 29, Siddhartha Guatama was deeply troubled by the suffering he saw around him, and he renounced his privileged life to seek understanding. After 6 years of struggling as an ascetic, he finally achieved Enlightenment at age 35. After this, he was known as the Buddha ("One who is awake"). After all of these experiences, Guatama realized that everything is subject to change and that suffering and discontentment are the result of the attachment to circumstances and things which, by their nature, are not permanent. From that point on, the teachings of Zen Buddhism have been passed down from teacher to students. Around 475 AD, Bodhidharma traveled from India to China and introduced teachings there. (This is why some references cite Bodhidharma as the founding father of Zen Buddhism.) Sacred or Revered Texts: Non-existent Cult or Sect: Negative sentiments are typically implied when the concepts "cult" and "sect" are employed in popular discourse. Since the Religious Movements Homepage seeks to promote religious tolerance and appreciation of the positive benefits of pluralism and religious diversity in human cultures, we encourage the use of alternative concepts that do not carry implicit negative stereotypes.

107. Buddha's World; Golden Rules Of Buddhism, H.S. Olcott The too prevalent ignorance among even adult Sinhalese Buddhists of the ethical code of their religion lead H.S. Olcott to issue this little compilation. It consists of quotes from Therevada sources on daily life, organized by topic. http://www.katinkahesselink.net/tibet/olcott.html

The Golden Rules of Buddhism Compiled by H.S. Olcott [This online edition has been slightly edited. The notes have been moved so that they come straight after the quote they belong to instead of at the bottom of the page, as there are no pages in HTML-documents. The many details about the publication have been moved to the back , whereas they were listed in the beginning in the origional edition. Numbers between brackets signify the page the information directly above was on in the printed edition of 1967. For clarity's sake I've added horizontal lines after each quote and source. - Editor Buddha's World] PREFACE THE too prevalent ignorance among even adult Sinhalese Buddhists of the ethical code of their religion heads me to issue this little compilation. Similar moral precepts exist by hundreds in the Buddhist Scriptures; where, also, all the present quotations will be found in the places indicated. They should be committed to memory and practised by parents and taught to their children, especially when the latter are being educated under anti-Buddhistic influences. Orientalists and other impartial persons admit that no religion in the world contains a more sublime system of moral rules than Buddhism, but if we wish this to become known to Buddhist children, we adult Buddhists must take the task upon ourselves. Many a Buddhist boy has beet "converted " to Christianity, or otherwise brought to despise his ancestral religion, from ignorance of its merits.

111. Interview With Dr Tony Page An interview with Dr Tony Page. http://www.animal-lib.org.au/more_interviews/tony/

Who We Are Sitemap Book Reviews The Lighter Side ... Movies Buddhism is world-famous for its philosophy of compassion towards all people. Yet what precisely do its scriptures teach on the subject of humanity's rightful relationship with the animal kingdom? Dr Tony Page recently wrote a book on that very subject calling it "Buddhism and Animals". Interview by Claudette Vaughan, August 2000. CLAUDETTE: How difficult was it to carry out research into Buddhist morality and the practice of flesh-eating? TONY: It was surprisingly easy. I have been a student of Buddhism for 20 years but have always been disturbed by the number of modern Buddhists who ate meat, as well as by the relative neglect of animal rights as an issue with Buddhist groups in the West. I have always understood that, given its strong principle of "ahimsa" or non-violence, Buddhism frowned upon meat-eating, since meat-eating inevitably meant doing violence to animals that were slaughtered for food. But I found that a lot of present day Buddhist teachers and practitioners were actually trying to justify meat-eating. Clearly, something was wrong. So I decided to see what the scriptural basis for meat-eating was. I resolved largely to by-pass what later commentators on Buddhism had said on the subject (many were meat-eaters) and go back to the original scriptures to see what the Buddha himself had stated. It is always best to go back to the source, as far as possible. And I was tremendously encouraged to see that there was a wealth of evidence showing that Buddha Shakyamundi was himself against the eating of meat and was in fact a strong advocate of vegetarianism and compassion towards animals. This formed the basis of my book.

You may have heard about Buddhism and you decided to investigate further. May be you have come along to experience this particular Buddhist practice. You may have come along in the hope that meditation will help you sort out problems:- personal, interpersonal, and social, or even that Buddhism will become your long searched for 'life's answer'! The Life of the Buddha The Buddha was born an ordinary human being- Siddhattha Gotama by name- a member of the Sakya clan which ruled a small kingdom in north India bordering onto present day Nepal. It seems he was destined to become its ruler. But at the age of 29, he had become so concerned with the problems of human suffering that he renounced his princely life in the search for an answer. He became a wandering ascetic, much like the ones which can be seen in India to this day, and he laced himself under the guidance of the famous master of the time. So well did he train that he came to be recognised as their equal, but he had not yet attained the answer to his all consuming problems.

115. ThaiBuddhism The three greatest religions in the world is buddhism, Christianity and buddhism, however, is the oldest of the three. It was founded 2500 years ago by http://thaibuddhism.hypermart.net/

THAIBUDDHISM Like other Indian Princes, Siddhattha married Princess Yasohara Bimba, also a daughter of the King of a neighboring state, who had soon afterwards born him a son named Rahula. But unlike them, instead of allowing himself to be chained all his life to his wife and son, Siddythatha broke up all these worldly fetters. At the age of twenty-nine, he stole out of his palace one night, set out on a long solitary journey, and left all his possessions behind. The Indian king who did most in patronizing Buddhism and spreading it into foreign lands was King Asoka. Thanks to this great king, Buddhism came to be established in Suwannadhumi, where it was finally embraced by the Thai people, and under the benevolent rule of King Ramkhamhaeng of Sukhothai, Buddhism became the Thai state religion. Ever since the foundation of the Kingdom of Sukhothai, Thailand has been a stronghold of Buddhism, which has, no doubt, a great influence over the Thai people. Under its good influence, the Thais have become peace- loving nation, with unrivalled tolerance and hospitality to the people of different races and creeds. It is not too much to say that, in the past, this admirable characteristic of our nation helped a great deal in preserving our national independence while the neighboring countries all around us were losing theirs.

Upon completion of the process, the teacher is able to point out and introduce mahamudra to the disciple. The Kagyu teachings have been transmitted and preserved this way, in an unbroken line, until the present time. Shangpa Kagyu, was founded by Khyungpo Nyaljor (978-1079).

We know very little of history of Buddhism till the reign of emperor Ashoka , who transformed Buddhism into a great world religion. In the following pictures, two distinct aspects of Buddhism in India can be seen: one ancient (Ashokan and subsequent) and the other the Buddhism as practiced and advocated by the Tibetans (now in India as refugees). The contribution of Buddhist teachings on the Hinduism (sixth century B.C. onwards) was great and led to several reforms of Hinduism. Some Hindus believe that Buddha was one of the avatars of Lord Vishnu himself. The contribution of arts inspired by Buddha was also great and can be seen in the caves of Ajanta and many other edicts spread across India. Indeed, the lions of Sarnath became the emblem of free India.

T HE TIBETAN BUDDHIST TRADITION is especially rich because the teachings of the Buddha were preserved in their entirety and elaborated upon over the centuries by meditators who took the teachings to heart and brought them to full fruition in their own mind streams. The Kagyu, or "practice" lineage , contributed greatly to this tradition through the attainment and teachings of its extraordinary practitioners, including Marpa Lotsawa, the great translator; Jetsun Milarepa, Tibet's greatest yogi; and continuing with the succession of seventeen Gyalwa Karmapas. This tradition continues unbroken to the present day, and the teachings of enlightened Kagyu masters are considered among the most precious jewels of spiritual insight and practical guidance in the world. The following topics are among the most important to any student interested in learning about Tibetan Buddhism. Each topic is linked to a brief summary, which includes links to excerpts of related teachings and questions and answers.
