Ñāṇamoli Bhikkhu (born Osbert John S. Moore; 25 June 1905 – 8 March 1960) was a British Theravada Buddhist monk and translator of Pali literature.[1]

Biography[edit]

Born in Cambridge, Osbert was the only child of biologist John Edmund Sharrock Moore and Heloise Moore (née Salvin). He was named after Heloise's father, the naturalist Osbert Salvin. He studied modern languages at Exeter College, Oxford. He helped a friend to run an antiques shop before joining the army at the outbreak of World War II, joining the anti-aircraft regiment before being transferred to the Intelligence Corps officer-cadet training camp. He was posted to a camp on the Isle of Man to help oversee Italian internees.

In 1944 he was posted to Italy serving as an intelligence officer interrogating spies and saboteurs. During this period he discovered Buddhism via Julius Evola's The Doctrine of Awakening a Nietzschean interpretation of Buddhism. This work had been translated by his friend Harold Edward Musson, also an intelligence officer serving in Italy.

After the war Moore joined the Italian section of the BBC. Moore and Musson, who shared a flat in London, were quite disillusioned with their lives and left to Sri Lanka in 1949 to become Buddhist monks. On 24 April 1949 they received the novice (samanera) ordination or going forth, pabbajjā, from Ñāṇatiloka at the Island Hermitage. In 1950 they received their bhikkhu ordination at Vajirarama Temple Colombo. Ñāṇamoli spent almost his entire monk life of eleven years at the Island Hermitage.

After having been taught the basics of Pali by Nyanatiloka Mahathera, Ñāṇamoli acquired a remarkable command of the Pali language and a wide knowledge of the canonical scriptures within a comparatively short time. He is remembered for his reliable translations from the Pali into English, mostly of abstruse texts such as the Nettippakaraṇa which are considered difficult to translate. He also wrote essays on aspects of Buddhism. 

By 1956 he had translated Visuddhimagga into English and got it published as The Path of Purification. He also compiled The Life of the Buddha, a reliable and popular biography of the Buddha based on authentic records in the Pali Canon. His notes with his philosophical thoughts were compiled by Nyanaponika Thera and published as A Thinker's Note Book.

His handwritten draft translation of the Majjhima Nikaya was typed out after his death and edited by Bhikkhu Khantipalo, and partly published as A Treasury of the Buddha's Discourses and then edited again by Bhikkhu Bodhi and published as Middle Length Discourse of the Buddha and published by Wisdom Publications in 1995. Other draft translations, edited and published after his death, are The Path of Discrimination (Paṭisambhidāmagga) and Dispeller of Delusion (Sammohavinodanī).

While on a pilgrimage he died suddenly due to heart failure at the hamlet of Veheragama near Mahawa. His body was brought to Vajirarama Temple in Colombo and cremated at a nearby cemetery.

After most of the dust has settled and quite a few years on the raft this remains for me the best introduction to the Dharma - or Dhamma! 
After a long trail through various texts and life experiences I have ended up within the Pure Land expression of the Dharma 
but reading this Life of the Buddha all the seeds of every path can be found. 

The simplicity at times confounds any Mahayana mindset, but the exposition of the doctrine that follows the life story is as profound as anyone could wish (if wish is the right word) 
I have always been grateful that I first gained the peg of Theravada before coming to the Mahayana - which can be a quagmire, if not quicksand, at times. Many of the essays of Nyanaponika Thera have been constant companions. Zen and Dogen, the Tibetan expressions, have been, and are, a blessing as I stumble along, a Pure Land bombu, but here in genesis is the heart if we care to listen. This is Osbert Moore at his best, Bhikkhu Nanamoli. A unique mind/heart giving expression to the Dharma. A pleasure to read. Thank you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Useful Biography

I learned of Nanamoli via one of Stephen Batchelor's books. 
Nanamoli must have been an interesting man. His scholarly credentials are impeccable. The aim of this book is to say what can be said about the Buddha as found in the most reliable -- i.e, earliest -- Pali texts. 

He presents the material from four points of view, all woven together in more or less chronological order. The format works very well, assisting the non-scholar in getting a sense of the Pali Canon -- or so I think, anyway, since I'm a non-scholar!

I wanted a reliable telling of the Buddha's story. I've read several well-known and generally recommended biographies, but I did not get a clear picture of how his teachings motivated others to preserve them accurately. 

After reading this book I'm a lot more certain that the wisdom we call 'Buddhism' was inspired by the teachings one man -- not an accumulation of teachings that grew willy-nilly from a variety of communities. 

Readers will be surprised to find a very sparse account of Siddhartha's first 29 years. On the other hand, the few passages Nanamoli is willing to use come straight from Siddhartha. They are very candid stories about a man who left his home because he was restless and unhappy. He clearly did not know what he was looking for. In that light, the stories of the five years preceding Enlightenment make a lot more sense.

2600 years having passed since Siddhartha's lifetime. Most of us Americans have come to Buddhism via less than perfect books and lectures. Nanamoli's book lets us make a connection with the first teacher, so to speak, and this, I think is both refreshing and re-assuring.

This work by Bhikkhu Ñāṇamoli fits into the broader context of his work and of the Buddhist tradition of the Hermitage Island Monastery: the effort to understand and explain the Dhamma in the light of the Dhamma itself is tangible, through the words of the Canon and the ancient commentators. This is the main advantage: it is an anthology of passages taken from the two canonical baskets of the Suttas and the Vinaya, from the canonical poetic works and, I presume, paraphrased by Buddhaghosa. Through the "masked" intervention of Bhikkhu Ñāṇamoli himself (the first narrator), the traditional material is reorganized on a chronological basis following the thread of the life of the Buddha, in an effort to give an organic and harmonious idea of the life itself of the Awakened leaving all that sea of successive and more properly hagiographic traditions starts. Perhaps it is not suitable for an audience completely unfamiliar with Buddhism and canonical Buddhist literature, nor for those looking for a simple introduction to the Buddha and his teachings: there are other publications that fully satisfy this purpose. As far as I'm concerned, it's one of the most beautiful, dense, and masterfully conceived books I've ever read on the subject.

This is a great academic work from which any buddhist can benefit.... IF, they can tolerate the very dull, dry, and schematic writing of the Pali texts. Bhikkhu Ñanamoli selected, gathered, and arranged in chronological order all the facts of the life of the Buddha from four different sources of the pali tradition.
To all those interested in study the gradual Vehicle of Sutra (Sutrayana), they should study this "biography" first, because it allows to access the foundational teachings of the first turn of the Wheel of Dharma (Shravakayana / Vehicle of Hearers) .

After this, you maybe want to read  Great Disciples of the Buddha: Their Lives, Their Works, Their Legacy (Teachings of the Buddha)  (more readable than the Ñanamoli`s). 
After these two texts, you will notice that it will be easier understand the Sutta Pitaka.

I haven't read the whole book, because it's thick and like other's have mentioned.. not the kind of book you'd put on your nightstand before bed.

In my opinion, these kinds of extremely direct translations miss the whole point of being alive. It's basically the author's way of saying "I don't really know what the heck happened, so I'm just gonna try to tell you what everyone else said happened." There's a certain honesty in that. And, I guess that's admirable. It's very true to the Pali texts, as other's have mentioned. But, it can get boring. And, I think it can lose sight of the living truth of the dhamma.

I don't think Gotama, the Buddha, would have read this book. And, I think if he were on Amazon, he would give it two or three stars. So, I've tried to do him justice.

With all that said. As long as you know what you're getting, the author definitely delivers. He does what he sets out to do very well. A success by that standard.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 25 August 2004
Verified Purchase
The book presents a selection of the suttas with an historical underpinning and without ever extending beyond the limited borders of the Pali Canon.
This Biblic-like account, given the basically atemporal nature and catechism of the Buddha's teachings, results in a quite sketchy approach to Buddhism that might contrast in method with the Dhamma teaching and that might thus suggest against using the text as an introducion to the practice.
Still the book has the great merit of providing translations from the Vinaya Pitaka, the basket presently most neglected by Western translators, as well as giving a handy reference to specific episodes difficulty retrieved in the original texts.

4.0 out of 5 stars The second book you should read about Buddhism
Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on 14 May 2009

The reason Buddhists don't have a holy book like the Christians or Muslims is because after 45 years of teaching, the Buddha left what is now a small library. Even the "core" texts -- the Pali Cannon -- are voluminous and difficult to approach because you don't know where to start. 
Here, the author has gone through those texts, picked out those that contain biographical information on the Buddha, and has put them in chronological order. The result is a life history that is very accessible and, to my surprise, highly entertaining to read: You suddenly realize just how human the Buddha really was.

This should not be your first book on Buddhism, because it assumes familiarity with basic concepts and terms. Pick up any very short introduction to the subject, and then get "The Life" as a second book.

Whether someone is just starting their journey in to Buddhism or has read about its variants extensively - it is a great insight into the life of the Buddha. Unlike many religious figures (Jesus, Mohammed, prophets and mystics), Buddha lived for many years after his enlightenment and spoke of the "path" extensively. It portrays a very human side, even when there are some supernatural events described. For me this text gives us a more personal view of the man and the ideas that have been commented upon for over 2000 years in a myriad of forms and it reminds me that all that commentary and religious activity started with the teachings of a real man.

Although I've just discovered Buddhism, or perhaps because of that, I was kind of lost with many different doctrines (Theravada, Mayhana, Varajna, Zen, etc).

So I wanted to go straight to the source, kind of hear the words from Buddha himself, without the taints of traditions and changes over the centuries.

Despite of being a non native english speaker I managed to undestand the words, think about the orientations, rules and history.

As others have said yes it's from the canon pali, has some ancient words, but it's the real deal, this book is amazing and I'm loving reading it and understanding the origin of some buddhist traditions.

A must read.

I bought this book after being introduced to Dependent Origination (DO) in John Haspel's excellent book "The Truth of Happiness." John has a chapter on DO and I had a reasonable idea of what DO was before I read this book, but I was hoping an entire book would provide additional insight into DO. However, I was disappointed; the book was fine, but I got no more depth out of this entire book then I got out of John's chapter (and, to be fair, subsequent discussions with John).

If you know nothing about DO, this is probably a fine introduction. If you are already familiar with DO, I would pass on this book.

I had a free copy of Achaan Chah’s book from decades ago, utterly worn and falling to pieces, and this new copy replaces it.

Achaan Chah’s is one of those rare teachers who can convey the most profound insights concisely in simple language. Each chapter in the book can be taken and read on its own, and be used as a subject of contemplation and insight. In my experience, one can go away with a simple guideline or idea from a chapter in the book during the first reading. Revisiting the same topic after a year or two causes another insight to surface. And the next time there’s a different insight, and so on.

This book is a tool for slow contemplation, where you may come back to one topic many times over decades. It’s not something to be read cover to cover in one sitting. A little basic knowledge of Buddhist ideas can help, specially when Achaan uses some of them to convey his take on it, but one can approach this book with zero exposure to the Buddhist teachings and benefit greatly.

There is more to this book than I could ever cover in a review, This is the first time I have rated a book as 5-star.Perhaps it was the time I read it, i.e. after reading several books related to Buddhism and meditation. I'm not sure; but whatever the case, this book spoke to me in a special way.
For one thing, I appreciated how Achaan Chah suggested that many, if not all, great world religions have much in common. As a Christian, I found myself calling to mind some words of Jesus that paralleled some words of the Buddha. Of course, there are many differences between the teachings of Jesus and Buddha. But there are many similarities. Consider: When Achaan Chah wrote of material things being empty and impermanent, I thought of Jesus telling his followers to not "...lay up for themselves treasures on earth where moth and rust consume..." That is just one example of many that could be cited. When I began reading Buddhist writings awhile ago, I was interested in Buddhism as a way to help deepen my practice of meditation and prayer. This volume by Achaan Chah offers that kind of help and more. I commend it.

This is a beautiful book. Achaan Chah's instructions are simple, clear, and direct. There is no theory here, only practice instructions delivered in no-frills, no fuss language. The Introduction by translators and former students (now highly respected teachers) Jack Kornfield and Paul Breiter helps set the tone and scene for learning from one of the late recent Buddhist master practitioners.

The editors/compilers present the teachings in short, easy-to-digest sections and the occasional lovely simple line-drawing. There is also a very helpful teacher Q&A section at the end of the book from when Chan taught a retreat at IMS in Massachusetts before he died.

If you are going to buy one book on Theravadan mindfulness meditation instructions, let this be the one. It is outstanding, worth reading again and again and again.

This is a collection of Ven. Ajahn Chah's teaching published by the Theosophical Society. It contains a wide ranging assorment of quotes and small-lenght exerpt from talks and is a good place to start to learn about the Thai forest tradition. I personally prefer other collections like Food for the Heart because they present much longer passages from Ajahn Chah's teachings, which help build more context. A Still Forest Pool is more like a pocket version with the more quotable and salient parts stringed together in a series of small chapters. This can give this collection a more Zen-like quality to it, which many people will surely appreciate.

This book is a collection of short dharma talks given by meditation master Achaan Chah.
Achaan Chah was abbot of one of the largest monastery complexes in the Thai Forest tradition. He welcomed and trained many western seekers who later returned to the west, becoming influential dharma teachers in their own right.
In this book, Achaan Chah largely eschews "theory" in favor of encouraging his students to practice. Don't expect academic discourses on Buddhist psychology or other esoteric topics. These talks are short (rarely more than a couple of pages), direct, and very inspiring.
Take your time reading this book. If you allow yourself a little time to digest the meaning of each piece, you might experience more benefit than attempting to read the book through in one sitting.

I found this book to be thought provoking, informative and philosophical. It is a book that needs to be re-read.
You do not need to be a buddhist or religious to appreciate this book. There is much wisdom in the book.

Matthieu Ricard gave up a career in cellular genetics at the Institut Pasteur to study Buddhism in the Himalayas. In this book he shares his wisdom about happiness drawing from thirty-five years of studying Buddhism and psychology.

“A change, even a tiny one, in the way we manage our thoughts and perceive and interpret the world can significantly change our existence. Changing the way we experience transitory emotions leads to a change in our moods and to a lasting transformation of our way of being.”

“Authentic happiness is not linked to an activity; it is a state of being, a profound emotional balance struck by a subtle understanding of how the mind functions. While ordinary pleasures are produced by contact with pleasant objects and end when that contact is broken, sukha—lasting well-being—is felt so long as we remain in harmony with our inner nature. One intrinsic aspect of it is selflessness, which radiates from within rather than focusing on the self.”

Suffering. “According to Buddhism, suffering will always exist as a universal phenomenon, but every individual has the potential for liberation from it… If our mind becomes accustomed to dwelling solely on the pain that events or people inflict on it, one day the most trivial incident will cause it infinite sorrow… In brief, we must: recognize suffering, eliminate its source, end it by practicing the path… So the way in which we experience these waves of suffering depends a great deal on our attitude.”

Ego. “Unlike Buddhism, very few psychological treatments address the problem of how to reduce the feeling of self-centeredness… For Buddhism, paradoxically, genuine self-confidence is the natural quality of egolessness. To dispel the illusion of the ego is to free oneself from a fundamental vulnerability… Genuine confidence comes from an awareness of a basic quality of our mind and our potential for transformation and flourishing, what Buddhism calls Buddha nature, which is present in all of us. Such recognition imparts peaceful strength that cannot be threatened by external circumstances or inner-fears, a freedom that transcends self-absorption and anxiety.”

“In what way is humility an ingredient of happiness? The arrogant and the narcissistic fuel themselves on illusions that come into continuous conflict with reality. The inevitable disillusionment that follows can generate… a feeling of inner emptiness. Humility avoids such unnecessary distress.”

Thoughts. “Learning to tone down the ceaseless racket of disturbing thoughts is a decisive stage on the road to inner peace… If we resign ourselves to being the perpetual victims of our thoughts, we are like dogs who run after every stick thrown for them.”

“When we feel anxious, depressed, cranky, envious, or emotionally exhausted, we’re quick to pass the buck to the outside world; tensions with colleagues at work, arguments with our spouse—anything… can be a source of upset. This reflex is far more than a mere psychological evasion. It reflects the mistaken perception that causes us to attribute inherent qualities to external objects when in fact those qualities are dependent on our own minds. Systematically blaming others and holding them responsible for our suffering is the surest way to lead an unhappy life. It is by transforming our minds that we can transform our world.”

Emotions. “If an emotion strengthens our inner peace and seeks the good of others, it is positive, or constructive; if it shatters our serenity, deeply disturbs our mind, and is intended to harm others, it is negative, or afflictive.” Ricard describes the five mental “poisons”: desire/greed, hatred, delusion “which distorts our perception of reality”, pride, and envy.

“The experience of introspection shows… negative emotions are transitory mental events that can be obliterated by their opposites, the positive emotions, acting as antidotes.” For example, anger can be neutralized by patience. Another method is liberation. Rather than getting overwhelmed by an emotion, you recognize that the emotion itself is just a thought. “The more you look at anger in this manner, the more it evaporates under your gaze, like white frost under the sun’s rays… One moment of anger can destroy years of patience.”

Anxiety. “When trekking in the Himalayas, you often have to walk for days or even weeks. You suffer from the cold, the altitude, snowstorms, but since every step brings you closer to your goal, there is joy in making the effort to attain it. If you get lost and find yourself without bearings in an unknown valley or forest, your courage instantly vanishes; the weight of exhaustion and solitude is suddenly crushing, anxiety mounts, and every step is an ordeal. You lose the will to walk; you want to sit down in despair. Perhaps the anxiety that some people feel likewise comes from a lack of direction in their lives, from having failed to grasp their own inner potential for change.”

Inner freedom. “Inner freedom allows us to savor the lucid simplicity of the present moment, free from the past and emancipated from the future. Freeing ourselves from the intrusion of memories of the past does not mean that we are unable to draw useful lessons from our experience. Freeing ourselves from fear of the future does not make us incapable of approaching it clearly, but saves us from getting bogged down by pointless fretting… What’s the point of worrying about things that no longer exist and things that don’t yet exist?”

Psychology. “Despite the improvement in material conditions, depression is now ten times as prevalent as it was in 1960 and affects an ever younger sector of the population… Martin Seligman has theorized that ‘an ethos that builds unwarranted self-esteem, espouses victimology, and encourages rampant individualism has contributed to the epidemic.’ In his view, exacerbated individualism helps explain the huge increase in the rate of depression in Western societies, partly as a result of the ‘meaninglessness’ that occurs when ‘there is no attachment to something larger than oneself.’ Buddhism would add that it is also surely due to the tireless dedication of most of our time to external activities and goals, instead of learning to enjoy the present moment, the company of those we love, the peace of natural environments, and, above all, the flowering of inner peace that gives every second of life a new and different quality.”

“As for the correlations highlighted by social psychology, in most cases it is unknown whether they act as causes or as consequences. We know that friendship goes with happiness, but are we happy because we have a lot of friends or do we have a lot of friends because we are happy?”

Altruism. “The Buddhist perspective… holds selfishness to be the main cause of suffering and altruistic love to be the essential ingredient of true happiness. The interdependence of all phenomena in general, and of all people in particular, is such that our own happiness is intimately linked to that of others… This corroborates the research of psychologists showing that the most altruistic members of a population are also those who enjoy the highest sense of satisfaction in life.”

Optimism and Pessimism. “For an optimist, it makes no sense to lose hope. We can always do better… Take the current situation as a starting point (instead of wasting our time crying over the past and lamenting the present)… The optimist, even when she has temporarily failed, is free of regret and guilt feelings. She knows how to step back and is always ready to imagine a new solution, without bearing the burden of past failures. That is how she maintains her serenity.” Ricard points out that the pessimist is less productive because “he’ll devote little energy to a task he feels to be doomed from the start.”

Ethics. “Through the interplay of the laws of cause and effect, which Buddhism calls karma—the laws governing the consequences of our actions—ethics are therefore intimately linked to well-being.”

“The main thrust of this book has been to differentiate true well-being from pleasure and other counterfeit forms of happiness. Wisdom is precisely that which allows us to distinguish the thoughts and deeds that contribute to authentic happiness from those that destroy it. Wisdom is based on direct experience, not dogma.”

“Simplifying one’s life to extract its quintessence is the most rewarding of all the pursuits I have undertaken. It doesn’t mean giving up what is truly beneficial, but finding out what really matters and what brings lasting fulfillment, joy, serenity, and above all, the irreplaceable boon of altruistic love… Having a simple mind is not the same as being simple-minded. On the contrary, simplicity of mind is reflected in clarity of thought. Like clear water that lets us see all the way to the lake bottom, simplicity reveals the nature of the mind behind the veil of restless thought.”

Wednesday, 26 July 2023

[이명권] [1:43 PM] 7월 31일 월요일 저녁 

종교대화 심포지움? 혹은 토크쇼 형식에 고려대 김종도교수님과 이슬람과의 대화를 자유 토론 형식으로 하기로 동의해 주셨습니다. 김종도 교수님은 현재 고려대 중동이슬람센터 소장으로 활동하고 계십니다. 

이상 소식 알려드립니다. 

[심광섭] [1:53 PM] 7월 31일은 김용환 교수님, 불교인데요. 


그리고 8월 14일은 윤세형 박사께서 유학과 교육 신청이 들어와서 조정이 필요하네요

[이명권] [2:06 PM] 제1회때 처럼

기독교와 불교

기독교와 이슬람

이렇게 2파트로 하는것이 아닌지요?


저는 김태창 교수님의 제의에 따라 이슬람을 섭외했더랍니다만 ㅎ


어떻게 해야 할지 말씀해 주시면

다시 조정해 봐야 할듯 합니다.

[심광섭] [2:32 PM] 서로 다른 두 주제로 발제 토론이 피상적이 되고 집중력이 떨어지는 것 같아 한 주제만 했으면 좋겠다는 뜻으로 대화를 나눈 적이 있는데, 조정 시간이 촉박하다면 이번에도 처음처럼 두 주제로 하도록하지요

[심광섭] [2:32 PM] 발표 주제를 올려주시면 좋겠습니다.

[이명권] [2:48 PM] 네 잘 알겠습니다.

발표 주제는 따로 정한것은 없는데, 


<이슬람과 기독교의 대화>라는 주제로, 자유토론 형식으로 약 1시간 정도 2사람이 상호 질의응답 형식으로 진행 했으면 합니다만.

ㅡ상호 공통점과 차이점을 중심으로ㅡ

대화의 현대적 의의와 필요성을 곁들여서요 ㅎ 어떠신지요?

[金泰昌] [2:54 PM] 두 사람이 상호 질의응답하시면 구체적으로 두분이 누구이시고 다른 참가자는 

듣기만 하는건가요?

[이명권] [3:22 PM] 기본적으로는 저 이명권(기독교)과 김종도교수(이슬람학자)의 자유로운 질의 응답 형직이지만

기본적으로 30분정도 진행 한 후에, 줌을 포함한 참가자가 질의 혹은 코멘트 하는 시간으로 30분 정도 진행해서 1시간 정도 소요 하면 어떨까 싶습니다만,,,

Thursday, 27 July 2023

[金泰昌] [6:11 AM] 김용환교수, 이명권교수, 김종도교수, 세분의 말씀을 통해서

기독교와 불교와 이스람교라는 세계3대종교에 대한 기초적인 비교적 이해와 인식이 이루어지는 계기가 되기를 바라면서 31일의 종교대화

를 기다리고 있습니다. 아마도 우리나라에서는 처음있는 일이 아닐까 싶습니다.

저 자신이 과문한 탓이라면 하교해주시기를 앙망하면서 이런 자리를 마련해 주시는 심광섭목사님과 3분교수님께 감사합니다.

강민창 Francis (제주) left.

[金泰昌] [1:19 PM] 김종도교수님은 한번도 뵈온 적이 없어서 처음 듣게 되는 말씀에 기대가 크고요 김용환교수님은 직접 인도에 가셔서 예수가 수도여행을 했다고 전해지는 곳을 답사하시고 연구하신바를 책

[金泰昌] [1:31 PM] 으로 내신 저서도 있으시고 불교신자로서 불도의 연구와 실천을 오랫동안 쌓아오시고 최근에는 명상시를 통해서 불시를 통한 치유활동에 최선을 다 하시는 분의 말씀을 여러분과

함께 듣게 되어 기쁩니다. 또 이명궈선생님은 탁월한 종교학연구실천자로 불교를 중심으로 기독교와 이스람교의 상호

이해와 인식개신을 통해서 종교평화구축에 이바지하려는 뜻이 강하심을 저서나 강연을 통해서 실감해 왔습니다. 저 자신은 세분의 귀한 말씀을 한자리에서 들을 수 있게 되어 많이 기대되는데 여러분께서는 어떠신지 궁금하군요.

[ㆍ] [7:18 PM] 말씀듣고  보니,  더욱 기대되는 발표입니다^^.

Friday, 28 July 2023

[김용환교수] [2:35 PM] Photo

[김용환교수] [2:35 PM] 기대에 부응하기는 쉽지 않겠지만, 내주 월요 발표자료를 사전에 올립니다.(굿)

Saturday, 29 July 2023

[金泰昌] [5:32 AM] 기왕이면 김용환교수님의 불교관련저서도 대표적인 것만이라도 올려 주시면

처음으로 김교수님을 뵙게 되는 분들에게 참고가 될 것같은데요.

[김용환교수] [10:43 AM] 12 photos

[김용환교수] [10:45 AM] 네, 불교관련 활동으로 가까이 보이는 자료 올렸읍니다. 관심에 감사드립니다.(굿)

[이명권] [12:48 PM] 김종도 교수님과 진행될


7월 31일 종교 대화 모임에서

발표하실 내용에 대해 제가 다음과 같은 몇 가지 질문지를 드려서 응답해 주시는 방식으로 

동의를 구했습니다.

1. 이슬람의 탄생 배경은 무엇인가요?
2. 이슬람이 급성장하게 되는 역사적 배경은 무엇일까요?
3. 이슬람이 주장하는 핵심 가치와 신앙에는 무엇이 있나요?
4. 오늘 날 세계 속에서 이슬람의 역할과 기능이 있다면, 무엇일까요?
5. 한국에서 이슬람과 그리스도교는 갈등이 심한편인데 해결 방안이 있을까요?
6. 이슬람의 입장에서 기독교를 어떻게 이해하시는지요?
7. 종교 간의 대화나 혹은 기타 방면에서 하시고 싶은 말씀을 부탁드립니다.

이상의 질의응답을 통해 30여분간 진행하고 나머지 30분은 줌을 포한한 참석자들 중에서 질문과 코멘트 혹은 토론 형식으로 진행 하면 어떨까 하고 김종도 교수님께 동의를 구했습니다. 기타 좋은 의견 있으시면 말씀해 주시기 바랍니다. 감사합니다


김종도 교수님을 이 방으...

[金泰昌] [1:04 PM] 김종도교수님의 대표적인 저서를 소개해주시면 참고가 되겠는데요.

[심광섭] [1:17 PM] 김종도 교수님, 진심으로
