Buddhism in Vietnam This Home page is an attempt to synthesize some of the varied and fascinating history of Buddhist religion in Vietnam. It is designed to give insight and aid primarily to educators who are interested in teaching a secondary and post secondary group of students about one of the most important influences in world religion. Our approach is a basic one, to generally describe the practices and major differences in philosophy, as well as look at some of the impacts of the American conflict in Vietnam. We have come to the conclusion that if Buddhism and its culture in Vietnam is left out of curriculum when discussing the war, a serious element of the history is neglected. Additionally, we have endeavored to include other sources and perspectives in our source listings. This page is far from a complete one, but we hope that it addresses some of the general questions that educators and students have about the Buddhist side of the conflict. Hopefully, this is an adequate place to start your search!

This is the flag depicted on the FLAG CHART published by Shipmate and authenticated by the Flag Research Center. William Grimes-Wyatt 22 January 1996 Meaning of the Flag The Buddhist flag, first hoisted in 1885 in Sri Lanka, is a symbol of faith and peace used throughout the world to represent the Buddhist faith. The six colours of the flag represent the colours of the aura that emanated from the body of the Buddha when He attained Enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree. The horizontal stripes represent the races of the world living in harmony and the vertical stripes represent eternal world peace. The colours symbolise the perfection of Buddhahood and the Dharma. The Blue light that radiated from the Buddha's hair symbolises the spirit of Universal Compassion for all beings.

Brief History of Buddhism The origin of the Buddhist tradition can be traced back to the year 563 BCE, the birth of Siddhartha Gautama. He was the son of a wealthy land owner and destined to be a respected leader of his land. Siddhartha's birth was a mysterious one, he was placed inside of the womb of his mother as a white elephant and born out of her side ten months later. When Siddhartha was an infant, a wise scholar immediately noticed the 32 auspicious signs of an enlightened one. Siddhartha's father, fearful that he would lead the life of an ascetic , rather than a king, endeavored to protect his son from the painful realities of life. He kept Siddhartha confined to the grounds of his estate, far away from pain, old age, death and tragedy. On three occasions, though, Siddhartha managed to leave the confines of the estate and witnessed several scenes that changed the meaning of his existence. He saw an old man, a sick woman, and a corpse being burned during a Ghat ceremony. He was troubled by these images, but did not understand his calling until he saw a Jain ascetic begging for alms in the city square. It was then that he realized that there was meaning beyond physical existence. He gave up all of his worldly goods and left his family in search of

69. Shinto & Buddhism: Wellsprings Of Japanese Spirituality Shinto buddhism Wellsprings of Japanese Spirituality. It is no wonder that at first the Japanese were unable to appreciate buddhism on its own terms. http://www.askasia.org/frclasrm/readings/r000009.htm

Wellsprings of Japanese Spirituality Article written by Paul Watt for the Asia Society's Focus on Asian Studies, Vol. II, No. 1, Asian Religions AskAsia The Japanese religious tradition is rich and complex, encompassing within it both complementary and contradictory trends in religious thought and practice with an ease that may occasionally puzzle the Western observer. At the very heart of the tradition stand Shinto, the indigenous religion of Japan, and Buddhism, the Indian religion that reached Japan in the sixth through eighth centuries A.D. from Korea and China. Throughout the long course of Japanese history, it has been these two religions that have contributed most to the Japanese understanding of themselves and their world. Shinto Shinto was the earliest Japanese religion, its obscure beginnings dating back at least to the middle of the first millennium B.C. Until approximately the sixth century A.D., when the Japanese began a period of rapid adoption of continental civilization, it existed as an amorphous mix of nature worship, fertility cults, divination techniques, hero worship, and shamanism. Unlike Buddhism, Christianity, or Islam, it had no founder and it did not develop sacred scriptures, an explicit religious philosophy, or a specific moral code. Indeed, so unself-conscious were the early Japanese about their religious life that they had no single term by which they could refer to it. The word Shinto , or "the Way of the kami (gods or spirits)," came into use only after the sixth century, when the Japanese sought to distinguish their own tradition from the foreign religions of Buddhism and Confucianism that they were then encountering. Thus, in its origins, Shinto was the religion of a pristine people who, above all, were sensitive to the spiritual forces that pervaded the world of nature in which they lived. As one ancient chronicle reports: in their world myriad spirits shone like fireflies and every tree and bush could speak.

Meditation in Action Introduction There are many reasons for coming here to find out about Buddhism as there are people who come. Perhaps yours was simply one of interest. 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.

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.

76. Call For A New Buddhism Claiming that the West must develop its own Jeffersonian buddhism based on noble principles of dignity and respect for all. http://home.att.net/~meditation/Buddhism.html

home page Call For a New Buddhism "Intelligence is the ability to ascertain the essential." Jiddu Krishnamurti Who and what is a Buddhist? Historians tell us that Siddhartha Gautama ( 563? to 483? BC) was the founder of the organized religion we call Buddhism. The fundamental meaning of the word 'Buddha' is 'Enlightened One.' We know that there were many enlightened ones, many Buddhas, before Siddhartha Gautama's birth and there have been many Buddhas after Siddhartha's death. The historic Buddha was born a Hindu and the evidence suggests Siddhartha wished to reform Hinduism rather than reject it completely. Siddhartha Gautama died a Hindu, not a Buddhist, just as Jesus died a Jew, not a Christian. What we call Buddhism today is an amalgamation of the true teachings of Siddhartha combined with invented myths and large amounts of culture derived from the country in which the Buddhism is practiced. Tibetan Buddhism, for example, is as much Tibetanism as it is Buddhism. Buddha's words were handed down for several centuries through oral tradition before a committee was formed to commit the communal heritage, not memory , of Buddha's teaching to written scripture. No human being who actually met the Buddha wrote any of the famous Buddhist scriptures that present day followers take so literally and seriously.

BuddhaSasana Home Page English Section Questions And Answers On Buddhism Yew Han Hee The following questions and answers have been especially formulated with the newcomer to Buddhism in mind. Q: Who was the Buddha? A: The Buddha was a man who lived some 2,600 years ago and who revolutionised religious thought in India. This way of thought spread throughout the Eastern world and has now found its way to the West. Q: What does the word 'Buddha' mean? A: The word 'Buddha' stands for the Awakened State (literally it means awakened), so it is used in relation to waking up to truth, to becoming enlightened. Q: What did the Buddha teach? A: His teaching was extensive. However, it is commonly agreed among all traditions throughout the Buddhist world, that fundamentally the teaching of the Buddha is contained in just four truths - the Four Noble Truths. Q: What are these truths? A: They are: the truth of suffering; the truth of regarding the cause of suffering; the truth regarding the cessation of suffering; and the path, the way leading to the cessation of that suffering. We suffer when life does not go our way, when our hopes are dashed, and when disappointment or tragedy strikes. We also suffered when life does go our way. Why? Becausewe fear loss - loss of pleasure, wealth, family or friends. This is the truth of suffering.
