Call for Participation
9th International Lay Buddhist Forum
“Lay Buddhists - Roles and Relations: Buddhist Lives of Mindful Transformation”
Oct. 25-29, 2018
Nakhon Pathom (นครปฐม), Thailand
Dear Buddhist friends and practitioners-cum-scholars,
We are delighted to announce the 9th International Lay Buddhist Forum to be held in Nakhon Pathom, Thailand, October, 25-29 2018, locally organized by devoted Thai Lay Buddhists.
The forum will take place in the very province traditionally seen as the cradle of Buddhism in Thailand and will coincide with H.M. King Rama 9th's cremation anniversary.

Two full days of programmed events (26-27 Oct) will be followed by a one-day temple tour (28 Oct).

The theme of this year’s forum is “Lay Buddhists - Roles and Relations: Buddhist Lives of Mindful Transformation.”

Participants are welcomed from all Buddhist schools of thought and practice. We particularly encourage the participation of (lay) Buddhist teachers; community leaders; educators; and youth representatives.
The forum will bring together Buddhists from around the globe who want to engage actively with the programme on a shared journey of discovery and learning about Buddhist transformative life practices. Participants will contribute to the discussions, workshops, and round-tables. A limited amount of academic papers and panels will complement the forum.  The two full days of the programme will be followed by a one- day temple tour.
All aspiring participants should send a proposal indicating their Buddhist affiliation (if any) and a statement of around 200 words indicating their suggested contribution relating the forum’s theme “Lay Buddhists - Roles and Relations: Buddhist Lives of Mindful Transformation”.

The 200-word submission may consist of
-          a suggested contribution to a discussion topic (example topics below)
-          the presentation of a Buddhist organisation’s approach to transformative lay life
-          an academic paper abstract
-          an individual motivational statement, e.g. under the heading ‘How does Buddhism transform my daily life?’
-          a workshop/practice contribution (dharma activity, sharing, meditation etc.)

Topics may include, but are not limited to,
-          Sharing All-day Compassion and Wisdom: Buddhist Ethics and Right Livelihood in Practice
-          Mindful Buddhist Social and Political Engagement
-          Buddhist organisations: Transforming Hearts and Societies
-          Householders, Yogis, Leaders: Inspirational Lay Buddhists and their relevance for Buddhist Life today

Please send your proposal to ilbfworld@gmail.com, with a copy to Ms. Kathy Monaco:benxikm@gmail.com.

More Information about the ILBF can be found at: https://laybuddhistforum.wordpress.com/

NEW BOOK> BDK : Three Short Treatises by Vasubandhu, Sengzhao, and Zongmi

by Bill Teague

THREE SHORT TREATISES BY VASUBANDHU, SENGZHAO, AND ZONGMI
PUBLISHER: BDK America
ISBN: 978-1-886439-66-5
This volume contains three short texts:

• A Mahayana Demonstration on the Theme of Action by Vasubandhu (Taishō 1609), translated by John P. Keenan.
• Essays of Sengzhao (Taishō 1858), translated by Rafal Felbur.
• Treatise on the Origin of Humanity by Zongmi (Taishō 1886), translated by Jan Yün-hua.

From the back cover:
Despite its brevity, A Mahayana Demonstration on the Theme of Action (Karmasiddhi-prakaraṇa), attributed to Vasubandhu and translated into Chinese by the scholar-monk Xuanzang, is a densely packed philosophical argumentation on the correct interpretation of scriptural references about the three kinds of actions of body, speech, and mind. The text reflects Yogācāra philosophy, including discussion of the storehouse consciousness (ālayavijñāna).

Sengzhao’s Essays (Zhao lun), comprising an introductory chapter, four essays, and an exchange of letters, can be seen as an extended meditation on sagehood, a perennial theme in Chinese religio-philosophical thought. These writings offer an original response to a set of concerns unique to Sengzhao, his community, and his times, and are an important voice in the religious speculation of early medieval China.

The Treatise on the Origin of Humanity (Yuanren lun) by the Huayan patriarch Zongmi classifies various teachings of Buddhism on a scale of relative profundity, and specifically critiques the weaknesses of the teachings of Confucianism and Daoism, which he regards as inferior to Buddhism. This work formed the basis for some of the arguments in later East Asian history on the relationship of the three teachings.
