Описание: Praise for the French edition"This is a book that should be read by all those who are interested, whether near or far, in Buddhism, its history and its interpretations. . . . [Faure] proposes considering the ‘Life of the Buddha’ as a kind of treasure that never ceases to be reinvented and experienced, from story to story, from language to language, from culture to culture." —Roger-Pol Droit, Le MondeMany biographies of the Buddha have been published in the last 150 years, and all claim to describe the authentic life of the historical Buddha. This book, written by one of the leading scholars of Buddhism and Japanese religion, starts from the opposite assumption and argues that we do not yet possess the archival and archeological materials required to compose such a biography: All we have are narratives, not facts. Yet traditional biographies have neglected the literary, mythological, and ritual elements in the life of the Buddha. Bernard Faure aims to bridge this gap and shed light on a Buddha that is not historical but has constituted a paradigm of practice and been an object of faith for 2,500 years.The Thousand and One Lives of the Buddha opens with a criticism of the prevalent historicism before examining the mythological elements in a life of the Buddha no longer constrained by an artificial biographical framework. Once the search for the "historical Buddha" is abandoned, there is no longer any need to limit the narrative to early Indian stories. The life—or lives—of the Buddha, as an expression of the creative imaginations of Buddhists, developed beyond India over the centuries. Faure accordingly shifts his focus to East Asia and, more particularly, to Japan. Finally, he examines recent developments of the Buddha’s life in not only Asia but also the modern West and neglected literary genres such as science fiction.
It's a daring adventure, a breathtaking leap of ambition, an amazing "gift to the world" from a small country that may seem to some to be far from the world's operatic center.
It's a new way to bring to news audiences the most iconic stories of Theravada Buddhism, told and retold for thousands of years, in the language of music, singing, drama, and dance, a language that belongs to every culture in the world -- yet the particular dialect of this language is equal parts Asia and Europe.
Halfway through this journey, let's take a moment to look at all that has already been achieved.
Five linked works of music drama -- from the oratorio-like Mahajanaka to the intimate chamber opera The Silent Prince, from the childlike simplicity of The Faithful Son to the convoluted machinations of The Dragon Lord, to the cosmic allegory of Chariot of Heaven.
There has been a hiatus for almost two years, but now it's time for final five music dramas to emerge, and 2019 will see premieres of two of them: the short ballet Chandakumar and the magically complex Architect of Dreams.
