The Timing of Yogacara Resurgence in the Ming Dynasty

With the maturation of Chinese Buddhism's characteristically sinitic doctrine of Tathāgatagarbha thought, and the revival of a "Tathāgatagarbhized" Faxiang scholarship (the Chinese version of the Indian Yogācāra) in the Ming dynasty, a conduit of inter-religious dialogue was thus opened between the two religions due to the convergence in their developed doctrines. This paper also examines a Buddhist tale recounting the occasion through which the Faxiang school was revived in that period.

Topic: "The Timing of Yogacara Resurgence in the Ming Dynasty."

Date: December 11, 2008

In Memorial

In Spring of 2003 the UWest Religious Studies Department sponsored a special lecture series titled Religion and War in response to the build up and eventual invasion of Iraq by the U.S. led coalition.

Dr. Thich An-hue's presentation on Buddhism and War, in which he begins his talk with a short play, presents a person coming across a Shaolin trained monk who has mastered the martial arts.
