SUMMARY:Dangerous Children: The Role of Children in Ancient Near Eastern Household Religion
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Kristine Henriksen Garroway will present on the place of children in the household religions of the Ancient Near East. She will explore the delicate balance between a child’s life and the forces out to destroy it. Topics addressed include dangers posed to a child in the womb\, infancy\, early years\, and beyond and how caregivers tried to successfully navigate everything from diseases to demons. The talk will conclude with a discussion of enculturation and ways in which children would come to emulate the rituals modeled for them. \n  \nEvent Co-Sponsored by the UCLA Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures \n  \nKristine Henriksen Garroway was appointed Visiting Assistant Professor of Bible at the HUC-JIR’s Skirball Campus in Los Angeles in 2011. She received her doctorate in Hebrew Bible and Cognate Studies at the HUC-JIR/Cincinnati in 2009. She has spent time studying and researching in Israel and has participated in excavations at Ashkelon\, Tel Dor\, and Tel Dan. Garroway’s scholarship focuses on children using archaeology and texts of ancient Israel and Mesopotamia. She has published in various scholarly journals and is a regular contributor to thetorah.com. Garroway’s books include: Children in the Ancient Near Eastern Household (Eisenbrauns 2014) and Growing Up in Ancient Israel: Children in Material Culture and Biblical Texts (Society of Biblical Literature 2018)\, and co-edited with John Martens Children and Methods: Listening To and Learning From Children in the Biblical World (Bril\, 2020). She is the recipient of the Biblical Archaeological Society’s 2019 Publication Award for Best Book Relating to Hebrew Bible. \n  \nEvent Flyer\n  \nRSVP Required for Zoom Access:\n[gravityform id=”112″ title=”false” description=”false”]

SUMMARY:Bodily Sacrifice for a Single True Verse: Implications  of a Cluster of the Buddha’s Past-Life Stories
DESCRIPTION:Across various Buddhist texts we find\, again and again\, a story of how the Buddha in a past life (as Bodhisattva) made a great sacrifice in exchange for a single verse of true teaching. Although we can interpret such stories as simply glorifications of Buddha or dharma\, more interesting questions also arise\, such as: How can the Bodhisattva access properly true teachings before he has realised the dharma for himself and made it available to others as the Buddha? If there is dharma available\, is it a properly Buddhist dharma\, or just a pithy generic well-spoken verse\, and is it there independently of buddhas? How does the Bodhisattva’s sacrifice – of wealth\, body\, life and family – in exchange for a verse of teaching relate to other stories in which he makes similar sacrifices for other reasons? Why is no such story found in the huge Pali Jataka collection? In this paper I will offer some preliminary answers to these questions\, and explore the implications of this cluster of stories for our understandings of the relationship between the dharma and buddhahood. \n  \nEvent Co-Sponsored by the UCLA Center for Buddhist Studies \n  \nNaomi Appleton is Senior Lecturer in Asian Religions at the University of Edinburgh. Her primary research interest is the role of stories in the construction\, communication and challenge of religious ideas in early India. She has a particular passion for jātaka stories (stories of the Buddha’s past lives) but also enjoys exploring the ways in which the narrative traditions of Buddhist\, Jain and Hindu traditions interact. She is the author of three monographs and many other articles and books on related themes\, including translations of Pali and Sanskrit narrative texts. \n  \nEvent Flyer\n  \nRSVP Required for Zoom Access:\n[gravityform id=”113″ title=”false” description=”false”]
