BUDDHIST EDUCATION AND PEDAGOGY: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES

By Ambassador Dato Dr.G.K.Ananda Kumaraseri

The emerging profit-driven global economy is guided by unbridled development and gigantism. Such an economy is also coming under ever increasing domination of science and technology. Such a development is not only cutting us off from nature and one another but also undermining natural and cultural diversity. One major consequence of this is that our very survival is threatened. Moreover, the global economy is overwhelmingly controlled and run by consumerism and salespersons in which things are bought not because people need them but because they want them. The modern economic notion that more production of goods would make people happy is misplaced.

The Peripatetic Class: Buddhist Traditions and Myths of Pedagogy

 E.H. Rick Jarow, Vassar College

Assumptions that Lie Underneath the Classroom

This paper has its roots in a classroom incident that took place during an Introductory Course on Buddhist Traditions. I had been working through a standard introductory curriculum: the life of the Buddha, the four noble truths, the twelve-fold chain of interdependent origination, etc., when after
class, a student from Thailand came to me in tears. She had a Buddha image around her neck, a talisman that she had been wearing since childhood, and she could not reconcile the God “Buddha” she grew up with, with the “Buddhism” being taught in Religion 152,” in which a focus on the nontheistic polemics of the Theravadin tradition is standard fare.

Robert Darr 'Sufism & Buddhism' talk

Published on Nov 6, 2012

From a talk given at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco on September 6, 2012

Despite doctrinal differences among Muslim Sufis, Buddhists, and Taoists, followers of these traditions have a great deal in common when it comes to spiritual practice. This is not surprising since each of these traditions was founded upon spiritual insight rather than speculation or belief. This talk explores how each of these traditions grew by establishing fundamental teachings about human insight and spiritual practices. The balance between doctrine and spiritual practice was often lost over time as doctrine devolved into mere belief. By cultivating the awareness of innate spirituality the real value of each of these religious traditions can be appreciated and genuine interfaith understanding can occur. Objects from the Asian Art Museum's collection will illustrate this discussion.

Robert Abdul Hayy Darr is the author of The Spy of the Heart and translator of Mahmud Shabistari's Garden of Mystery. He has studied Islamic spirituality for nearly 40 years.
