Dharma Name
A Dharma name or Dhamma name is a new name acquired during both lay and monastic Buddhist initiation rituals in Mahayana Buddhism and monastic ordination in Theravada Buddhism (where it is more proper to call it Dhamma or Sangha name). The name is traditionally given by a Buddhist monastic, and is given to newly ordained monks, nuns and laity. Dharma names are considered aspirational, not descriptive. Most of the well-known Buddhist teachers are known to have had many different Dharma names in the course of their careers, and often each name represents a stage of their career. For example, Prince Shotoku was also known as Prince Umayado and Prince Kamitsumiya. Shinran's original name was Matsuwakamaru; he was also known as Hanen, Shakku, Zenshin, Gutoku Shinran and Kenshin Daeshi. Nichiren's original name was Zennichi and his Dharma names were Zenshobo Rencho and Rissho Daishi. Similarly, the tradition of various Dharma names was also used by Zen monks, who also used art to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The form flourished during the Edo period (17th–18th centuries) and reached its zenith during the Tenmei era (1781–89). Background In much the way poets in the '' kanshi'' style (Chinese poetry by Japanese poets) wrote humorous ''kyōshi'' poems, poets in the native Japanese '' waka'' style composed humorous poems in the 31-syllable style. Tanaka Rokuo suggests the style may have drawn inspiration from ''gishōka'' (, "playful and mocking verse"), poetry that targeted guests at banquets where they were read out in an atmosphere similar to that of a roast. During the Edo period (17th–19th centuries) there were two major branches of ''kyōka''; one based in Edo (modern Tokyo), and ''Naniwa kyōka'' in the Kansai region. ''Naniwa kyōka'' arose in Kyoto in the 16th century, at first practised by aristocrats such as Matsunaga Teitoku (1571 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
