The History of Buddhism Dr. C. George Boeree
Shippensburg University
Soon after Buddha's death or parinirvana, five hundred monks met at the first council at Rajagrha, under the leadership of Kashyapa. Upali recited the monastic code (Vinaya) as he remembered it. Ananda, Buddha's cousin, friend, and favorite disciple and a man of prodigious memory! recited Buddha's lessons (the Sutras). The monks debated details and voted on final versions. These were then committed to memory by other monks, to be translated into the many languages of the Indian plains. It should be noted that Buddhism remained an oral tradition for over 200 years. In the next few centuries, the original unity of Buddhism began to fragment. The most significant split occurred after the second council, held at Vaishali 100 years after the first. After debates between a more liberal group and traditionalists, the liberal group left and labeled themselves the Mahasangha "the great sangha." They would eventually evolve into the Mahayana tradition of northern Asia. The traditionalists, now referred to as Sthaviravada or "way of the elders" (or, in Pali, Theravada), developed a complex set of philosophical ideas beyond those elucidated by Buddha. These were collected into the Abhidharma or "higher teachings." But they, too, encouraged disagreements, so that one splinter group after another left the fold. Ultimately, 18 schools developed, each with their own interpretations of various issues, and spread all over India and Southeast Asia. Today, only the school stemming from the Sri Lankan Theravadan survives.

24. Chinese Cultural Studies: Han Yu
One of the leaders in the Confucian counterattack on buddhism was the classical prose stylist and poet Han Yu (768824 CE), who in 819 CE composed this vitriolic polemic attacking buddhism. A champion of rationalism, Han Yu wished to suppress Daoism as well as buddhism.
http://acc6.its.brooklyn.cuny.edu/~phalsall/texts/hanyu.html
Main Other Chinese Web Sites Chinese Cultural Studies:
Han Yu
Memorial on Buddhism
(819 CE) from Edwin O. Reischauer, Ennin's Travels in T'ang China , (New York: Ronald Press, 1955), pp. 221-24 repr. in Alfred J. Andrea and James H. Overfield, The Human Record: Sources of Global History Vol 1 , 2d. ed., (Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1994), pp. 187-190 Later Confucians considered Han Yu a pioneer of a Confucian intellectual revival that culminated in the eleventh and twelfth centuries with the rise of Neo-Confucianism, a movement that wedded metaphysical speculation (concern with matters that transcend the senses) to traditional Confucian practicality. In so doing, the Neo-Confucians offered a metaphysical alternative to the otherworldliness of Daoism and Buddhism and undercut them severely. More immediately, Han Yu’s essay foreshadowed by only a generation a nativist against "foreign" religions. Your servant submits that Buddhism is but one of the practices of barbarians which has filtered into China since the Later Han. In ancient times there was no such thing.... In those times the empire was at peace, and the people, contented and happy, lived out their full complement of years.... The Buddhist doctrine had still not reached China, so this could not have been the result of serving the Buddha. so But the people are stupid and ignorant; they are easily deceived and with difficulty enlightened. If they see Your Majesty behaving in this fashion, they are going to think you serve the Buddha in all sincerity. All will say, "The Emperor is wisest of all, and yet he is a sincere believer. What are we common people that we still should grudge our lives?" Burning heads and searing fingers by the tens and hundreds, throwing away their clothes and scattering their money, from morning to night emulating one another and fearing only to be last, old and young rush about, abandoning their work and place; and if restrictions are not immediately imposed, they will increasingly make the rounds of temples and some will inevitably cut off their arms and slice their flesh in the way of offerings. Thus to violate decency and draw the ridicule of the whole world is no light matter.

What is Buddhism? Buddhism is a path of practice and spiritual development leading to Insight into the true nature of life. Buddhist practices such as meditation are means of changing oneself in order to develop the qualities of awareness, kindness, and wisdom. The experience developed within the Buddhist tradition over thousands of years has created an incomparable resource for all those who wish to follow a path - a path which ultimately culminates in Enlightenment or Buddhahood. Because Buddhism does not include the idea of worshipping a creator God, some people do not see it as a religion in the normal, Western sense. The basic tenets of Buddhist teaching are straightforward and practical: nothing is fixed or permanent; actions have consequences; change is possible. Thus Buddhism addresses itself to all people irrespective of race, nationality, or gender. It teaches practical methods (such as meditation) which enable people to realise and utilise its teachings in order to transform their experience, to be fully responsible for their lives and to develop the qualities of Wisdom and Compassion. There are around 350 million Buddhists and a growing number of them are Westerners. They follow many different forms of Buddhism, but all traditions are characterised by non-violence, lack of dogma, tolerance of differences, and, usually, by the practice of meditation .

35. Nara Buddhism
Describes the introduction and growth of buddhism in Japan, and the establishment of different schools and philosophies by the 9th century.
http://www.wsu.edu:8001/~dee/ANCJAPAN/NARABUDD.HTM
kami , or gods; the chief of these gods, the Sun Goddess Amaterasu, was the creator of the world. Japan was the center of creation and the Japanese a select people. Buddha, on the other hand, was a foreign god, one that did not create the universe or have any central role in the pantheon of gods. Was it worth angering one's native gods? What did Buddha have to offer that the powerful gods of the native Japanese religion couldn't?
Buddhism Mahayana Buddhism Sanron ), the Dharma Character school (in Japanese, Hosso ), and the "Flower Wreath" school (in Japanese, Kegon ). Each of these schools, like all Chinese Buddhism, were branches of Mahayana Buddhism

epstein@sfsu.edu Editor's note: I have made the following unfinished work available despite some misgivings. I have done so for two main reasons: 1) I think that much of the material may be of value, particularly to students and to others who are not familiar with basic Buddhist teachings; and 2) it has been many years since I have had time to work on this project, so perhaps by making it known, others can consider helping to bring it to completion. Colleagues in the Buddhist Text Translation Society are working on bringing the work to publication, and I am sure that they would welcome assistance. When the print version is published, which hopefully will be in 2002, I shall also try to make that revised version available online. Sanskrit diacritical marks are still missing, as are many of the Chinese characters. For the characters that are present, a Chinese internet viewer program is needed. (Otherwise the characters appear as unintelligible symbols.)

38. Thai Buddhism
Information on Thailand's most popular religion.
http://www.track-of-the-tiger.com/html/buddhism.html
BUDDHISM Note: I have chosen to include a more in-depth explanation of Buddhism than is normally written in a guidebook on Thailand. Over the years, I have found that visitors to the Kingdom are more than a little curious about Buddhism, particularly as in these changing times the doctrine and practice of the various Christian faiths appear to provide few answers to the ever-increasing and more complex problems facing modern man. There is no such thing as a good Buddhist or a bad Buddhist, viewed in the same context as someone being considered a good or bad Christian. Buddhism is more of a personal philosophy than a group religion. An individual following the ‘middle path’, the long road to enlightenment encounters and overcomes the obstacles at his own pace. How good a Buddhist he is, or how far along the path he has travelled, is unimportant to anyone other than himself. Where Christian religions preach that one must have ‘blind faith’ in the aspects of the doctrine that you may have trouble accepting, Buddhism teaches that you should ‘question everything’ until you find an answer that satisfies you. Buddhism not only teaches tolerance, it practices it. It does not claim that other religions are false, it encourages you to make your own judgements. There is no hard sell, and no requirement for monks to ‘save’ a quota of souls.
