format this article to print BUDDHISM . Buddhist organizations arose in Texas in the second half of the twentieth century as a result of missionary activity and immigration. Nichiren Shoshu of America, with national headquarters in Santa Monica, California, is the largest and oldest of the organizations represented in Texas that owes its expansion primarily to missionary activity. Though not denying an afterlife, Nichiren Shoshu emphasizes the promotion of world peace, prosperity, and happiness in this life, a pursuit closely related to the Lotus Sutra , a Buddhist scripture widely revered in the Far East. Nichiren Shoshu originated in Japan and gained a number of converts among American servicemen stationed there following World War II. qv The national headquarters for this branch of Buddhism in America was established in 1963 by Masayasa Sadanaga, who later changed his name to George M. Williams in order to emphasize the American nature of the organization in this country. Largely due to seminars conducted by Williams, Nichiren groups started to appear in Texas during the early 1960s. As of 1985 Nichiren Shoshu claimed approximately 15,000 members in Texas, the majority of whom are native to the United States. A number of publications are produced by the organization, two of the most important throughout the United States being

83. Asian Social Engagement And The Future Of Buddhism A Feature Review By Donald W. The won Buddhist movement in Korea rejects shamanistic practice and religious exclusivismin favor of compassionate moral practice in daily life and engagement http://www.aril.org/engagebuddah.html

Asian Social Engagement and the Future of Buddhism A feature review by Donald W. Mitchell Christopher S. Queen and Sallie B. King, eds., Engaged Buddhism: Buddhist Liberation Movements in Asia. Albany: SUNY Press, 1996. 446pp. $24.95 (paper). The Nobel Peace Prize has recently been awarded to two Asian Buddhist leaders, the Dalai Lama of Tibet and Aung San Suu Kyi of Myanmar (Burma). Slowly, people in the West are realizing that modern Buddhism in Asia is not just a meditative vehicle for spiritual liberation, but is now also a vehicle that includes liberation movements for social and political change. What has come to be known as "socially engaged Buddhism," or simply "engaged Buddhism," is a vast array of Asian movements with millions of adherents dedicated to addressing the economic, social, political, and environmental as well as the spiritual needs of modern humankind. For example, in Southeast Asia, thousands of Buddhist monks work with hundreds of thousands of lay volunteers to rejuvenate village life. In South Asia, millions of Indian Untouchables have converted to form a Buddhist movement for social change and an end to the misery of the caste system. In East Asia, Buddhist lay movements have drawn millions of members by caring for their daily needs. And throughout Asia, Buddhist nuns are founding orders that work for institutional changes in the Buddhist monastic communities and organize social, educational, and health services for the poor.

Won Hyo History Patterns Won-Hyo (617-686 AD) was the noted Buddhist monk who introduced Buddhism into the Silla Dynasty in 686 AD. Won-Hyo was born in northern Kyongsang Province and was said to be wise from birth. As legend has it, he was born in a forest in a Chestnut Valley under a Sal tree. The Sal tree is significant, as reference to it is usually only found in the legends of very revered figures. The official name of Won-Hyo, given to him at birth, was Sol Sedang. He derived the pen name Won-Hyo (meaning dawn) from his nickname "Sedak," which had the same meaning. He assumed this pen name in later years after he had become more accomplished as a Buddhist philosopher and poet. Won-Hyo began his career at the age of 20 when he decided to enter the Buddhist priesthood and converted his own home into a temple. However, Buddhism was not a popular religion in Silla at that time. Although this religion had been introduced into the kingdom of Koguryo in 372 AD and Paekche in 384 AD, the general population of Silla was reluctant to accept it. However, this religious isolation was to change during the 7th century. At that time, Silla was at war with the kingdoms of Packche and Koguryo and was under constant invasion from Paekche. In 642 AD, it lost 40 castles to Packche attacks, including the great castle of Taeya near the capital of Silla. This atmosphere dramatically influenced the Buddhist faith of all three kingdoms. Religion became more nationalistic, which tended to intensify the ferocity of the conflicts.

UCLA for Buddhist Studies: An Investment in the Future BUDDHIST STUDIES AT UCLA Building Upon a Rich Tradition of Academic and Community Resources The Los Angeles region is also home to a growing number of Buddhist groups that include European-Americans. These groups are often deeply devoted to Buddhist meditation training. Especially strong are organizations focusing on the study and practice of Japanese Zen (both the Rinzai and Soto traditions), and Tibetan Buddhism. There are also groups engaged in Vipassana meditation, Korean Son practice, and Japanese Pure Land training. UCLA also maintains one of the largest collections of Buddhist materials in the United States in all the major canonical languages. As but one example, UCLA's Richard C. Rudolph East Asian Library holds a collection of scholarly materials on Japanese Buddhism that is ranked second in the country, surpassed only by the collection in the Library of Congress, as well as substantial collections in Chinese and Korean. The University's Young Research Library also maintains extensive holdings of scholarly books on Sanskrit and Tibetan Buddhism. The strength of our library allows us to train graduate students who can specialize in a number of different Buddhist traditions. The faculty also has an interest in Buddhism beyond the purely academic. Before returning to academe, Buswell spent seven years in Asia as an ordained Buddhist monk: one year in the Thai Theravada tradition, one year in Hong Kong with Chinese Chan and Pure Land monks, and five years in Korea with Son monks engaged in koan practice. He is committed to introducing his students not only to Buddhist doctrine and history, but also to Buddhism as a living tradition. Bodiford, Schopen, Buswell and Silk have each conducted frequent workshops on Buddhist thought, practice, and history at major Buddhist centers around the country. The UCLA faculty is committed to contributing not only to Buddhist scholarship, but also to Buddhism as a lived tradition of practice.

Chapter 4 Sitting Meditation in the Lotus Position 1.The Essential Meaning Generally speaking, this form of meditation is a way of study for the elimination of distraction and for restoring the true Nature of mind. Physically, it is also a way to send down the flaming Energy within the body and to send up the Watery Energy. When all distractions are gone, the Watery Energy will rise and vice versa. Then the mind and the body will exist in perfect harmony and the spirit and life energy will be equally refreshed. When distractions continually exist in the mind, the Flaming Energy will be constantly coming upward within the body to scorch the Watery Energy, and dampen the brightness of spirit. The human body operates like a machine, in that it reacts to the sources of energy or power within it. Without the power of the Flaming Energy and Watery Energy within one's body, even a finger will be unable to move. 2.The Method of Practice The method of practicing this form of meditation is so simple and easy that anyone can practice it. (1)Sit on a cushion in a relaxed posture with the legs folded. Keep the head erect and the back straight.
