SUMMARY:Brides of the Buddha: Nuns' Stories from the Avadanasataka
DESCRIPTION:For young women in early South Asia\, marriage was a crucial event that largely determined their socioeconomic and religious future. Yet while many of the rules and requirements for Hindu marriage around the beginning of the Common Era are well documented\, there has been little in the way of systematic examinations of the evidence for marriage customs among Buddhists of this period. In this respect and others\, our understanding of the lives of early Buddhist women is still limited. In her recent book\, Brides of the Buddha: Nuns’ Stories from the Avadānaśataka\, Dr. Muldoon-Hules used ten stories from a major collection of Buddhist narratives compiled sometime in the first five centuries C.E.\, in conjunction with other contemporary texts from both Hinduism and Buddhism\, to examine the social landscape of early India. In this talk\, she discusses some of what these tales can tell us about Buddhist marital customs\, Hindu-Buddhist tensions\, and regional variation in South Asian Buddhism during this period. \n  \nDr. Karen Muldoon-Hules completed a Ph.D. (2011) and an M.A. (2005) in Asian Languages and Cultures at UCLA. She also holds a Master’s in Library and Information Science from Indiana University. She teaches undergraduate courses for Asian Languages and Cultures Department and for the Study of Religion Program at UCLA. She has presented at a number of major conferences and published several articles and the book on which this talk is based. \nSponsored by: UCLA Center for the Study of Religion \nEvent Flyer\n\nPlease RSVP for Event\n[gravityform id=”41″ title=”false” description=”false” ajax=”true”]

SUMMARY:Maimonaides and the Merchant
DESCRIPTION:The advent of Islam in the seventh century brought profound economic changes to the Middle East and to the Jews living there. The Talmud\, written in and for an agrarian society\, was in many ways ill-equipped for the new economy. In the early Islamic period\, the Babylonian Geonim made accommodations through their responsa\, through occasional taqqanot\, and especially by applying the concept that custom can be a source of law. Not previously noticed\, however\, in the Mishneh Torah\, Maimonides made his own efforts to update the halakha through codification\, in order to make it conform with Jewish merchant practice as illustrated in the business documents of the Cairo Geniza \n  \nMark R. Cohen is the Khedouri A. Zilkha Professor of Jewish Civilization in the Near East\, Emeritus\, and Professor of Near Eastern Studies\, Emeritus\, at Princeton University. Educated at Brandeis University (B.A.)\, Columbia University (M.A.)\, and the Jewish Theological Seminary (M.H.L.\, Rabbi\, Ph.D.)\, he is a well-known historian of the Jews in Arab lands in the Middle Ages. His publications include Jewish Self-Government in Medieval Egypt; Under Crescent and Cross: The Jews in the Middle Ages; Poverty and Charity in the Jewish Community of Medieval Egypt\, and\, most recently\, Maimonides and the Merchants: Jewish Law and Society in the Medieval Islamic World. Until his recent retirement from Princeton\, he was director of the Princeton Geniza Project\, an on-line database of transcriptions of documents from the Cairo Geniza. \nSponsored by: UCLA Alan D.
