CPAmedia.com: Buddhist Temples Of Vietnam
In Vietnam, where Chinese cultural influences are strong, the face of buddhism is fascinatingly different from the rest of mainland Southeast Asia.
http://www.cpamedia.com/culture/vietnam_buddhist_temples/

Extractions: Travel Culture Politics History ... Contact In Vietnam, where Chinese cultural influences are strong, the face of Buddhism is fascinatingly different from the rest of mainland Southeast Asia. In the dragon-ornamented temples of Hue, or behind almost any shopfront in Cholon, an ancient Buddhist tradition, the Mahayana, flourishes. The institutions which preserve and pass on this faith are the country's Chua Viet , or Vietnamese Buddhist temples. Here the Mahayana traditions of Central Asia merge and mingle with Chinese Confucianism, Taoism, and the archaic spirit-worship indigenous to the civilisations of mainland Southeast Asia. These temples serve primarily as centres of worship - yet their social function is clearly more than just religious. In addition to offering spiritual solace, they function as community centres, provide religious guidance and advice, and above all offer a place for the reaffirmation of national identity so dear to the Viet soul.

Extractions: Staff Reporter ``If the United States begins another war, they also will bring war into their country.¡¯¡¯ Thich Nhat Hann, renowned Vietnamese Buddhist monk and spiritual leader, calmly warned of the danger of war at a news conference yesterday. The 75-year-old recalled the Vietnam War, in which about 50,000 U.S. soldiers died. Although Thich said that he is far from being political, his message of peace at the conference was relevant to two hottest international issues of a war in Iraq and the North Korean nuclear crisis. ``South Korea should make sure it will never start a war against the North, and help them solve their problems peacefully as brothers,¡¯¡¯ Thich said. As a Buddhist leader, he also emphasized the importance of meditation as the solution for any conflict. ``One should rule their mind first to bring peace in their relationships with others.¡¯¡¯ Internationally, Thich Nhat Hanh's name is a symbol of peace and harmony throughout the world, and his teachings give insights to modern society. To promote the idea of living in peace and harmony worldwide, Thich Nhat Hanh has spent his life fostering ``engaged Buddhism.¡¯¡¯ He is at the forefront of Vietnam¡¯s peaceful opposition movement. Thich Nhat Hanh's first book was ``The Living Buddha Sings of Peace,¡¯¡¯ but his reputation grew among local readers through ``Anger,¡¯¡¯ which has sold more than 700,000 volumes so far. This book introduces spirituality and philosophy suited to modern life and provides a path to inner peace.

CCM: Talking about trusting is very important. I work with Vietnamese patients in the hospital. If they trust you, they will tell you everything. If they don't trust you, you will get nothing. Trust does not depend on how you are dressed. Whether you are wearing an official uniform or not, building trust will depend on how you deal with people, how you talk to them. See also EthnoMed article Death Rituals in Vietnamese Society by Dieu-Hien T. Hoang, RN CCM: Monk: Another point about death that is especially true in the Vietnamese community is that when someone dies, the family doesn't call upon emergency officials right away. First, they try to bring the monk to the scene. If the monk is not available, they try to bring some elderly people who can chant Vietnamese chanting. The prayer is done first, and then the officials are called. In the case of death, it is very important to contact the family and ask them what they want to do before the officials come. Some people believe that within the body the brain may die but the heart is still working a little bit. This makes the last minutes of life a very important time for the person to settle down, to make ready for rebirth. Buddhists believe in rebirth, not reincarnation. The death is just one thing that occurs for a person to be reborn somewhere else. The parents need to help the person to be reborn in the proper place by providing a peaceful and religious environment for death.

Extractions: GO BACK A multi-faceted religious community Tibetan Buddhism Buddhism in Australia Future of Buddhism Buddhist temples in Sydney It is not known precisely when Buddhism first came to Australia. It has argued that there may have been contact between the Aboriginal people of northern Australia and the early Hindu-Buddhist civilisations of Indonesia. It is also possible that the great fleets of the Chinese Ming emperors, which explored the south between 1405 and 1433, may have reached the mainland of Australia. The first certain contact with Buddhism can be dated to 1848, when Chinese labourers arrived to work on the goldfields of eastern Australia. The beliefs of these men were predominantly Taoist/Confucian, but the makeshift temples they built have been found to contain remnants of Mahayana Buddhist statues. Most of these men returned to China when the gold rush ended, but some stayed in Australia, often after sending for a wife from China. While the older Chinese continued to practice their ancestral beliefs, their children and grandchildren often adopted the Christian faith. In the 1870s, groups of Sinhalese from Sri Lanka began to arrive in Australia to work on the sugar plantations of northern Queensland, or in the pearling industry centred on Thursday Island. By the 1890s, the Buddhist population of Thursday Island included about 500 Sinhalese people. Two Bodhi trees planted by this community are still growing on Thursday Island to this day. A temple was built on Thursday Island, festivals such as Vesak were regularly celebrated, and a Buddhist monk is said to have visited to officiate at the temple around the turn of the century.
Session 149

Extractions: Back to Table of Contents Session 149: Doctrine and Representation in Buddhism and Buddhist Art, South and Southeast Asia Organizer: Robert L. Brown , University of California, Los Angeles Chair and Discussant: Donald S. Lopez , University of Michigan Far from being a monolithic tradition, the legacy of Buddhism is its diversity and its ability to adapt to changes over time and across cultural boundaries. This panel invites both historians of Buddhism and art historians to examine closely the moments of change and transformation, and the junctures of thought and visual expression. Change over time may denote a shift in doctrinal emphasis; transformation across culture may indicate selective preference. Interpretations of these mutations have largely remained the domain of Buddhologists, while the traditional iconographical approach to studying Buddhist art is ill-equipped to grasp the nuances in the underlying changes. The panel calls upon cross-disciplinary and inter-area studies that would open up avenues and create dialogues in exploring the relationship between religious concepts and artistic expression set against the fluidity of doctrinal alterations and cultural metamorphosis. The Ritual of Feeding the Hungry Ghosts: Doctrinal and Visual Aspects Trian Nguyen , University of California, Berkeley This paper examines the image of Ananda honored in Vietnamese Buddhist temples in the context of the ritual of feeding the hungry ghosts. The Spell for Saving the Burning-Mouth Hungry Ghost is a key scripture that provides the doctrinal basis for one of the most important Buddhist festivals in China and Vietnam: the mass of feeding the hungry ghosts which takes place in the seventh lunar month. The paper investigates the doctrinal underpinning that led to the development of the hungry ghost festival and as a textual source for the creation of the image of Ananda presiding over the ritual.

http://www.buddhistphotos.com/book2.html

Extractions: ONE SPIRIT : How did your interest in Buddhist religion and culture develop? DON FARBER: I was first drawn to Eastern spiritual traditions in the seventies and went to see great masters whenever they came to Southern California. I found truth in many traditions, but one master, Swami Muktananda said, "Choose one path," so I waited until I found what felt right for me. In 1977 I met the Zen master and Buddhist scholar, Dr. Thich Thien-An at the Vietnamese Buddhist Temple in L.A. I was moved by the compassion of the Vietnamese refugees at the temple, especially the elderly women, and decided to make a book about the life there. I became a disciple of Dr. Thien-An, studying with him until 1980 when he died tragically of cancer at age 54. Then, I practiced zazen and attended Dharma talks given by the Japanese Zen master, Maezumi Roshi, at the Zen Center of Los Angeles, which I also photographed extensively.

http://www.liveoakuu.org/justpeace.htm

Extractions: Just Peace Rev. Kathleen Ellis June 12, 2005 Id like to begin with a reading from Thich Nhât Hanh, a Vietnamese Buddhist monk. This comes from one of his early books entitled Peace Is Every Step. Twenty-four brand new hours: Every morning, when we wake up, we have twenty-four brand-new hours to live. What a precious gift! We have the capacity to live in a way that these twenty-four hours will bring peace, joy, and happiness to ourselves and others. Peace is present right here and now, in ourselves and in everything we do and see. The question is whether or not we are in touch with it. We don't have to travel far away to enjoy the blue sky. We don't have to leave our city or even our neighborhood to enjoy the eyes of a beautiful child. Even the air we breathe can be a source of joy. We can smile, breathe, walk, and eat our meals in a way that allows us to be in touch with the abundance of happiness that is available. We are very good at preparing to live, but not very good at living. We know how to sacrifice ten years for a diploma, and we are willing to work very hard to get a job, a car, a house, and so on. But we have difficulty remembering that we are alive in the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive. Every breath we take, every step we make, can be filled with peace, joy, and serenity. We need only to be awake, alive in the present moment. I was first introduced to Thich Nhât Hanh in the fall of 1989. My formation as a minister had entered an academic phase when I began studies at Perkins School of Theology at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. I had been a Unitarian Universalist since 1975, and in those 14 years had become immersed in congregational life, starting in Columbia, MO, and on to The Woodlands, TX, a suburb of Houston.
