17. Nagarjuna & the Philosophy of Openness/ Nancy McCagney/ Rs. 400

Nancy McCagney demonstrates that the concept of space ('akasa') in early Indian Mahayana Buddhism is the root metaphor for Nagarjuna's understanding of 'sunyata', or openness. Nagarjuna's use of the term 'sunyata' was new, and contrasted with the word's use in Pali Buddhist literature. By using the word to mean 'openness,' Nagarjuna was able to elucidate, through a deeper analysis of impermanence, a consistent philosophical foundation for the truth and efficacy of Gautama's Middle Way. McCagney's book will be important for those studying Indian philosophy, Buddhism, and the philosophy of religion.

18. Mediating the Power of Buddhas- Ritual in the Manjusrimulakalpa / Glenn Wallis/ Rs. 600

Analyzes a seventh-century ritual manual that provides both a rich source of information of medieval Buddhist life and addresses the ongoing concern of how an adherent can encounter the power of a buddha.

Mediating the Power of Buddhas offers a fascinating analysis of the seventh-century ritual manual, the Mañjusrimulakalpa. This medieval text is intended to reveal the path into a ritual universe where the power of a buddha abides. Author Glenn Wallis traces the strategies of the Mañjusrimulakalpa to enable its committed reader to perfect the promised ritual, uncovering what conditions must be met for ritual practice to succeed and what personal characteristics practitioners must possess in order to realize the ritual intentions of the Buddhist community. The manual itself was written at a key point in Buddhist history, one when Hindu forms of practice were still imitated and on the cusp of the shift from Mahayana to Vajrayana (or Tantric) Buddhism. In addition, the Mañjusrimulakalpa presents a rich compendium of Buddhist life in an earlier era, containing information on a variety of its readers' concerns: astrology, astronomy, medicine and healing, ritual practice, iconography, devotion, and meditation.

Next RAS Lecture - Thursday 14th February

Posted: 01 Feb 2013 02:14 AM PST

We are delighted to welcome Stuart Laing, Master of Corpus Christi College, to deliver the next lecture of our main series "Unshook till the end of time": Relations between Britain and Oman, 1650 - 1975. Stuart is the Master of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. He took office in October 2008, after a first career in the British Foreign Service. He specialised in Arab and Middle Eastern affairs, serving in Saudi Arabia and in Cairo early in his career, and then as Deputy Ambassador in Riyadh. He was appointed High Commissioner to Brunei (1998-2002), Ambassador to Muscat (2002-2005), and Ambassador to Kuwait (2005-2008). In addition to his duties as Master, he researches and writes on Arab and East African history.

A view of the old British Embassy in Muscat

In summary of his talk he says:

"In the British-Omani Agreement of 1800, the parties agreed "that the friendship of the two States may remain unshook till the end of time". The aim of this lecture is to trace the British-Omani relationship through just over 300 years, and to analyse how each partner used - and was used by - the other, until under the present Sultan, Qaboos bin Saʿid, Oman emerged into mature statehood, left behind a connection which had been almost exclusive for many years, and developed its present wide cross-section of international relations.

The British relationship with Oman goes back further than that with any other Gulf country; the first agreement was signed with the people of Sohar in 1646. A connection based on commercial interests and on a shared wish to keep the Gulf open to trade, became more intense in the late 18^th and early 19^th century, when British-French competition for control of the Indian Ocean led to rivalry for primacy in Muscat. The British gained ascendancy through a qawlnamah (commitment) made by the Ruler in Muscat in 1798, and the 1800 agreement mentioned above, and for the first half of the 19^th century the British and the renowned Saʿid bin Sultan had enough shared interests to build a relationship which served both sides well. In the late 1800s, as Muscat's economy declined, British policy increasingly saw the Gulf as a protective buffer on the western flank of the Indian Empire. The British felt it necessary to support the al-Busaʿidi leadership through crises of weak administration and then the revival of the Imamate which led to virtual autonomy of the Omani interior from the signature of the Treaty of Seeb in 1920. Active British military involvement in Oman came with the action on Jebel Akhdar in 1959, and the Dhofar war from 1968 until 1975. These were the last exemplars of a British conduct of affairs which had become exclusive and possessive, though not actually colonial, in the first half of the 20^th century and which disappeared after 1970."

The lecture will take place on Thursday 14th February at 6.00pm, followed by a question and answer session and a drinks reception. It is free and everybody is welcome. If you need further details please contact info@royalasiaticsociety.org or 02073884539 and for directions to the Society, please visit our website.
