Rather than viewing these temples as isolated ethnic religious spaces, it conceptualizes them as locally embedded yet interconnected through monks’ mobility, master–disciple relations, and shared ritual practices. Focusing on a Vietnamese abbot based in Germany, who serves as a key nodal figure in this network, the study draws on multi-sited fieldwork (2023–2025) to argue that inter-temple relations can be understood as a dynamic structure sustained by recurring clerical mobility. By foregrounding clerical circulation, the article presents overseas Vietnamese Buddhist temples as relational actors shaped by both local embeddedness and transnational connectivity, contributing to debates on diaspora and migrant religion.]]>Fri, 10 Apr 2026 02:54:00 GMThttp://quangduc.com/a79685/from-inner-transformation-to-global-harmony-the-buddhist-path-of-compassionhttp://quangduc.com/a79685/from-inner-transformation-to-global-harmony-the-buddhist-path-of-compassionTT.

Nepal, particularly the Kathmandu Valley, has long been a significant center for both Tibetan and Theravada Buddhism. Not only is Nepal the birthplace of the Buddha (in Lumbini), but it is also a region where Buddhist spiritual traditions have flourished for centuries. In this special edition, I focus specifically on Nepalese Buddhism. I explore the historical significance of this ancient tradition, shedding light on the invaluable Buddhist sites scattered across the country. This edition features articles on the history of Nepalese Buddhism, the contributions of revered senior monks, and insights from contemporary Nepalese monks and nuns. “Mettavalokanaya” International Buddhist Magazine is a registered publication in Sri Lanka, with an international standard.

According to Buddhist scriptures, the order of Bhikkhunis was first created by the Buddha at the specific request of His Aunt and Foster - Mother “Mahapajapati Gotami”, who became the first ordained Bhikkhuni. During the time of Buddha, the First Bhikkhuni ordination took place in the fifth year after the Buddha’s Enlightenment. The Buddha’s words were “I allow Nuns to be ordained by Monks”. Following Buddha’s instructions, “Mettavalokanaya” - Sri Lankan’s Most Popular & Leading Monthly International Buddhist Magazine decided starting their second and newly magazine & website specially for whole Bhikkhunis (Nuns) in the world.
