SUMMARY:2023 Taitetsu Unno Memorial Lecture
DESCRIPTION:The Institute of Buddhist Studies is pleased to announced the Taitetsu Unno Memorial lecture\, to be delivered by Dr. Ruben Habito\, and held on Friday March 31\, from 4-6pm\, both in person at the Jodo Shinshu Center and virtually. \nDr. Ruben Habito will deliver a talk entitled “Beyond Transcendence Back to Earth: A Challenge to Religions in our Time of Global Crisis.” \nOur global community today is in a critical moment of our history\, with impending ecological destruction\, violent conflicts between sectors of our human family that needlessly destroy many lives\, a yawning gap between the multitudes of those living in poverty and the very few who are able to live in luxury. There is also an increasing sense of a loss of meaning and hope for the future among the youth. In the face of all this\, Religion may offer a source of solace and security\, with its doctrines of transcendence\, including the promise of a better afterlife\, thus tending to veer the attention of their adherents from the urgent tasks of our Earth community. This lecture will explore how Religion\, specifically Buddhism and Christianity\, in dialogue with one another\, may offer a vision and empowerment for healing our wounded selves and our wounded world. \n  \nAbout Dr. Ruben Habito:\nRuben L. F. Habito is Professor of World Religions and Spirituality\, and Director of Spiritual Formation at Perkins School of Theology. Before coming to Perkins in 1989\, he was a member of the Society of Jesus for twenty-five years\, and taught at the Jesuit-administered Sophia University in Japan.  A member of the American Theological Society and of the American Academy of Religion\, he has also served as President and Board member of the Society for Buddhist Christian Studies\, and of the Buddhist Peace Fellowship. He is the author of numerous books and articles in English and Japanese\, including Be Still and Know: Zen and the Bible (2017)\, Zen and the Spiritual Exercises (2013)\, Healing Breath: Zen for Christians and Buddhists in a Wounded World (2006); Experiencing Buddhism: Ways of Wisdom and Compassion (2006) among others. He serves as Guiding Teacher of the Maria Kannon Zen Center in Dallas\, Texas\, where he resides with his spouse Maria Reis Habito. Together they have two adult sons\, Florian and Benjamin. \nThis event is made possible by the generous support of the Unno family and in honor of Rev. Dr. Taitetsu Unno (1929-2014). \nA prolific author and scholar\, Rev. Dr. Unno was a graduate of the Univeristy of California\, Berkeley\, and Tokyo Univeristy. For forty years he taught in the field of Buddhist studies\, first at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\, then at Smith College\, where he served as Department Chair and as the Jill Ker Conway Professor of World Religions. He was the author\, translator\, and editor of numerous academic volumes and articles\, but he is perhaps best known for his two works introducing Shin Buddhism to English-language audiences\, River of Fire\, River of Water: An Introduction to the Pure Land Tradition of Shin Buddhism and Shin Buddhism: Bits of Rubble Turned into Gold\, as well as his translation Tannisho: A Shin Buddhist Classic. In addition to his prolific scholarly career\, Rev. Dr. Unno was also an ordained Shin Buddhist minister in Nishi Honganji tradition\, and he devoted his career to working in Shin Buddhist communities across North America. \nIn celebration of his life and accomplishments\, IBS will honor Rev. Dr. Unno at this special event. Following the delivery of the Unno Memorial Lecture\, a scholarship award will be made to a IBS student for outstanding work in a master’s level thesis. \nDownload the event program here. \nRegister for IN PERSON attendance: https://forms.gle/pfzWDR4MjSGgRbWM9 \nRegister for ZOOM attendance: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJEpfumuqDIpEty87InS_W6iUODMqs_ipx2W

SUMMARY:Receiving and Giving: Buddhist Women Past\, Present and Future
DESCRIPTION:The Institute of Buddhist Studies is pleased to announce this year’s Numata Lecture\, Receiving and Giving: Buddhist Women Past\, Present and Future. It will be held in conjunction with the annual Federation of Buddhist Women Association’s (FBWA) meeting on Friday\, October 14 at 1:00pm. \n\nInspired by the concept of shinjin\, the theme of this event focuses on the reciprocal dynamics of compassionate relationships. \nDr. Paula Arai will explore how the activities and teachings of Buddhist women might inspire and guide us as we learn from the past\, engage in the present\, and envision the future. \nDr. Arai will be joined by respondents Rev. Dr. Mutsumi Wondra and Dr. Vanessa Sasson and moderator Nancy G. Lin of the Institute of Buddhist Studies. \n\nThe lecture will be held on zoom and registration is required: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJItc-uopj0uG9Smg2oOeow40DzbthN67E_S \n  \n  \nDR. PAULA K.R. ARAI \n\nDr. Paula K.R. Arai holds the Urmila Gopal Singhal Professorship in Religions of India at Louisiana State University. She obtained her Ph.D. in Buddhist Studies from Harvard University in 1993. In the following years\, she taught at Brown University\, Vanderbilt University\, Hong Kong University of Science & Technology\, and Carleton College. In 2007\, she joined the Religious Studies faculty at LSU. She is also a member of the faculties of Asian Studies and Women’s and Gender Studies. \nHer first book\, Women Living Zen\, changes the face of Zen scholarship with the restoration of women to historical accounts and a reassessment of religious practice and institutional patterns in light of prevailing gender relationships. Her second book\, Bringing Zen Home\, is an ethnography that focuses on the healing dimension of ritualized activities embedded in the daily lives of women in contemporary Japan. Her third book\, Painting Enlightenment: Healing Visions of the Heart Sutra—The Buddhist Art of Iwasaki Tsuneo introduces the oeuvre of Japanese Buddhist research scientist Iwasaki Tsuneo (1917-2002). Iwasaki created an artistic genre that integrates Buddhist scripture into images; yet it does not depend on reading—nor even an investment in a particular religious institution—to communicate a wisdom and vision aimed to empower people to make meaning out of personal and global challenges facing our modern world. She is co-editor of The Oxford Handbook of Buddhist Practice\, which extends the purview of Buddhist Studies to take seriously the lived application of the Dharma. Drawing on insights gained through working on these volumes\, A Little Book of Zen Healing: Japanese Rituals for Beauty\, Harmony\, and Love (summer of 2023) aims to empower a general audience to be creative and integrate healing ways into daily life. \nREV. DR. MUTSUMI WONDRA\nRev. Dr. Mutsumi Wondra is the resident minister of the Orange County Buddhist Church (OCBC) in California and a research fellow at the Institute of Buddhist Studies\, where she teaches the history of Shin Buddhist tradition. She was born in Kyoto\, Japan\, and graduated from Kyoto Women’s University founded by Lady Takeko Kujo. Among other publications\, she recently co-translated Leaves of My Heart by Lady Takeko Kujo.\n\nDR. VANESSA R. SASSON\nDr. Vanessa R. Sasson is a professor of Religious Studies at Marianopolis College. Her academic publications include the edited volume Little Buddhas: Children and Childhood in Buddhist Texts and Traditions. She recently published the novel Yasodhara and the Buddha and is now working on the sequel\, focused on Gotami’s request for ordination.\n\nDR. NANCY G. LIN\nDr. Nancy G. Lin is Associate Professor of Tibetan and South Asian Studies and Buddhist Chaplaincy at the Institute of Buddhist Studies. She recently co-edited Water Moon Reflections: Essays in Honor of Patricia Berger together with three other woman scholars.\n\n

SUMMARY:2022 Ryukoku Lecture: Dr. Bunei Takada
DESCRIPTION:Ōjōyōshū- A Collection on the Essentials Concerning Birth and Shinran Shōnins 「往生要集』と親鸞聖人」 \nProfessor Bunei Takada\, Ryukoku University\, Faculty of Letters: Shin Buddhist Studies\nŌjōyōshū – A Collection on the Essentials Concerning Birth is the important scripture in Shin Buddhist studies. The author was Genshin\, one of the Seven Pure Land Masters selected by Shinran. Shin Buddhist researchers and scholars tend to read this text in the context of Jōdoshinshū\, and unconsciously overlook the original intension of Ōjōyōshū. This lecture is about two points: the intention of Ōjōyōshū\, and how Shinran understood the text. Please join us to appreciate the profundity of scripture interpretations by carefully reading Ōjōyōshū. Lectures will be in Japanese with English translation. \n『往生要集』は浄土真宗の「聖教」であり、その著者源信和尚は浄土真宗の「七高僧」の一人として尊崇されている。そのため私たちが『往生要集』を読む場合、最初から浄土真宗流に読んでしまい『往生要集』の原意は等閑に付されがちである。では『往生要集』は本来どういう教えなのか？そして親鸞聖人はそれをどう読まれたのか？この度の講義では、この２つの視点をもって『往生要集』を読み、聖典解釈の奥深さを味わいたい。 \n \nPacific Standard Time: \nMarch 14 (Mon) 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM \nMarch 15 (Tue) 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM \nMarch 16 (Thu) 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM \nMarch 17 (Thu) 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM \nMarch 18 (Fri) 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM \n  \nLectures will be in Japanese with English translation.  \nRegister here: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJAkduiqpjkoGdzrpIDx83sOWjao4WGfu0ly

SUMMARY:Secularizing Buddhism Book Event
DESCRIPTION:Buddhism is both deeply personal and profoundly social. In the neutral tones of academic language\, we might say that secular Buddhism\, and secularized forms of Buddhist practice such as mindfulness\, are simply adaptations to a new society. This picture is at times supported by claims that reinterpretation is simply what Buddhist history has always been. We can\, however\, look through the neutral measured tones of that language with a hermeneutics of suspicion. Then\, we can see a history of conflict\, competition\, claims to power and authority\, expropriation\, and Othering. The secularizing of Buddhism is not a natural\, evolutionary\, or inevitable process\, but rather the accumulation of perceptions\, decisions\, and actions by individual Buddhists\, whether they consider themselves traditionalist or secularist. Drawing on the work in Secularizing Buddhism: New Perspectives on a Dynamic Tradition\, Funie Hsu and Richard K. Payne will discuss the processes by which Buddhism has been stripped of racial and ethnic associations\, and recontextualized in contemporary American society.  \nSecularizing Buddhism is a new collection edited by Richard Payne\, featuring essays by Bikkhu Bodhi\, Gil Fronsdal\, Kathleen Gregory\, Funie Hsu\, David McMahon\, and Ron Purser\, known for coining the phrase “McMindfulness.” Exploring the issue of “secular Buddhism” from a variety of standpoints\, including race and racism\, neoliberalism\, traditional doctrines of rebirth\, modern psychology\, and more\, this new publication is an exciting contribution to the field. \nJoin us for a conversation between Richard Payne and Funie Hsu on Friday September 10 to discuss the new book\, Secularizing Buddhism: New Perspectives on a Dynamic Tradition. \nRegister for this webinar here. \nLearn more about the book here. \nAbout the participants: \nRichard K. Payne Richard K. Payne is Yehan Numata Professor of Japanese Buddhist Studies at the Institute of Buddhist Studies\, Berkeley. He was born and raised in the South Bay\, and his family attended\npublic events\, such as O-Bon and bonsai shows\, at BCA temples throughout the 60s. His interest\nin Buddhism was both personal and intellectual\, eventually leading to doctoral research on\nShingon Buddhism. In addition to his academic research at Mt. Koya\, the main training center\nfor Shingon\, he completed his training and was initiated as an ajari (acarya). His tenure at the\nIBS covers some 25 years as Dean. He is the co-editor of Homa Variations\, co-editor-in-chief of\nthe Oxford Encyclopedia of Buddhist Studies\, and editor of Secularizing Buddhism: New\nPerspectives on a Dynamic Tradition. \nFunie Hsu is Associate Professor of American Studies at San José  State University. She holds a Ph.D. from the University of California\, Berkeley\, an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education\, and a B.A. from the University of California\, Davis. Her prior experience as an elementary school teacher informs her scholarship on education\, empire\, Buddhism\, mindfulness\, and race. Funie was raised in a Taiwanese Humanistic Buddhist tradition. In addition to maintaining that practice\, she has recently been learning about the Jodo Shinshu tradition.

SUMMARY:Sculpture\, Time\, and Materiality in a Buddhist Cave Shrine: Fall 2020 Numata Lecture with Michelle C. Wang
DESCRIPTION:Register for this webinar here. \nPlease join us on Friday October 23\, 2020\, at 1:00 p.m.\, Pacific time\, for our second 2020 Numata Lecture. \nSculpture\, Time\, and Materiality in a Buddhist Cave Shrine \nThis talk examines the dialogue between architecture and sculpture in Maijishan Cave 133\, located near Tianshui\, Gansu Province.  Initially constructed in the sixth century\, this Buddhist cave shrine continued to receive patronage from pious donors through the Ming and Qing dynasties.  Among the objects that were placed in the cave were relief sculptures\, stone stelae\, and freestanding statues.  What makes Maijishan Cave 133 a particularly interesting case study is that successive layers of architectural and sculptural materials can be correlated – more or less – with different “generations” of donors.  What can we learn from unpacking the juxtaposition between rock (the mountain)\, clay (sculptures)\, and stone (stelae)\, and the subsequent engagement with varied sculptural techniques?  Keeping this question in mind\, we will consider the choreographies of space created and experienced by successive generations of donors and devotees. \nMichelle C. Wang is Associate Professor in the Department of Art and Art History at Georgetown University. A specialist in medieval Chinese art\, her publications have addressed Buddhist maṇḍalas\, Dunhuang painting\, and art of the Silk Road.  Her first monograph\, Maṇḍalas in the Making: The Visual Culture of Esoteric Buddhism at Dunhuang (Leiden and Boston: Brill\, 2018) analyzes the Maṇḍala of Eight Great Bodhisattvas at the Mogao and Yulin caves during the Tibetan and Guiyijun periods\, demonstrating that transcultural communication over the Silk Routes\, and the religious dialogue between Chinese and Tibetan communities\, were defining characteristics of Buddhist maṇḍalas at Dunhuang. \nThis lecture is free and open to the public; however\, registration is required and space is limited.

SUMMARY:The True Teaching? Fall 2020 Numata Lecture with Jolyon Baraka Thomas
DESCRIPTION:Register for this webinar here. \nPlease join us on Friday October 9\, 2020\, at 1:00 p.m.\, Pacific time\, for our first 2020 Numata Lecture. \nThe True Teaching?\nJapanese Buddhists and the Quasi-Sectarian Politics of Public Schooling \nSecularist legal arrangements place religious organizations in a paradoxical position: they must serve the public good while simultaneously fostering private virtue. These tensions become particularly salient in situations where religious organizations must clarify their relationship to state\, society\, and the laity. In this lecture I use Buddhist debates over public schooling to show that differences of opinion over the proper relationship between Buddhism and the state have elicited vehement disagreements about orthodoxy and proper Buddhist practice. Focusing on Buddhists’ attempts to influence the revision of the Fundamental Law on Education in the early 2000s\, I show that although many Buddhists aimed to change a key Japanese law\, ultimately the lobbying process changed Buddhist perceptions of their own tradition more than it influenced national policy or classroom pedagogy. The debates over public schooling and related arguments about how Buddhists could best contribute to the public good ultimately forced a reckoning\, highlighting just how little Buddhists saw eye to eye on the relationship between private morality\, the public good\, and public policy. \nJolyon Baraka Thomas is an assistant professor of religious studies at the University of Pennsylvania. He is the author of Drawing on Tradition: Manga\, Anime\, and Religion in Contemporary Japan (2012) and Faking Liberties: Religious Freedom in American-Occupied Japan (2019). He is currently co-editing the New Nanzan Guide to Japanese Religions while working on a third monograph tentatively titledDifficult Subjects: Religion and the Politics of Public Schooling in Japan and the United States. \nThis lecture is free and open to the public; however\, registration is required and space is limited.

SUMMARY:Robots in Robes: Buddhism\, AI\, and Skillful Means\, 2019 Numata Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the 2019 Numata Lecture\nwith Dr. Courtney Bruntz\nThursday October 17 at 4 p.m. \nRobots in Robes: Buddhism\, AI\, and Skillful Means \nIn 2015\, the Longquan Temple outside Beijing unveiled “Xian’er” — a two-foot-tall robot monk capable of responding to questions\, chanting sutras\, and singing Buddhist songs. A few years later\, the Kodaiji Temple in Kyoto debuted “Mindar” — a six foot tall android Kannon (the Bodhisattva of Compassion) with the ability to provide a sermon on the Heart Sutra. This lecture explores intersections of Buddhism and robotics to reveal the variety of ways in which Buddhists are making use of artificial intelligence in Chinese and Japanese contexts\, plus the justifications Buddhist leaders provide for embracing robotic technology. From political support to survival\, Buddhist communities are utilizing AI as skillful means. But at what cost? At the conclusion\, this lecture seeks to unravel the implications of Buddhists adopting AI. \nDr. Courtney Bruntz\, Assistant Professor of Asian Religions at Doane University. Dr. Bruntz’s work focuses on tourism and economics in mainland China\, including the use of new media technology and robotics by Buddhist monastics. She is co-editor of the forthcoming book from University of Hawaii Press\, Buddhist Tourism in Asia. \nThis event is free and open to the public. \nRSVP on Facebook.
