chakras, from a

painting
The chakras (pronounced SHOCK-ruzz) are
the seven energy centers in the human
body, according to
yoga philosophy. The
chakras are conceived of as wheels of light,
each rotating at a different speed and each
a different color, arranged in a line from the
base of the spine to the top of the head.
They are believed to interact with the
body's ductless
endocrine glands and
lymphatic system by feeding in good bio-
energies and disposing of unwanted bio-
energies.

East Meets West through
Buddhist Institute
By: Anne Reilly
The existence of a Buddhist organization in an Eastern
European country may seem surprising. But Buddhism has
beyond its original Eastern context and Hungary's East-West
the globe.

Although Hungarian culture is largely influenced and
informed by Christian values and perspectives, many
Hungarians "have a traditional interest in Eastern cultures,
because they are thought to have come from Inner Asia,"
said Tamas Agocs, director of the institute.

This may be why the only state-accredited Buddhist institute
of higher education in Europe, the "Gate of the Dharma"
Buddhist University, was founded in Budapest in 1991.
The university subsequently established the East-West
Research Institute "to provide framework and conditions for
scientific research into the possibilities of Buddhist
education and the dissemination and application of Buddhist
principles in the country," said Agocs.

As globalization continues to make
the world smaller, participants
strive to increase the dialogue
between the “East” — the Asian
cultures that have been shaped by
Buddhist thought — and the “West”
— the modern, scientific cultures
that originated in Western Europe
With this goal in mind, they also work towards making the
values of Buddhism known in the West.

Without forsaking the integrity of Buddhist views, values and
practices, Agocs said their goal is “to enter the East-West
dialogue not just in order to find interesting parallels and
differences between Eastern and Western discourses, but
with a view towards the constructive and creative
application of Buddhist principles in all walks of life."

According to Agocs, the open attitude of Buddhist thought
is the ideal starting point for furthering the science-and-
religion discussion.

"Buddhism shares many methods with Western science. They
both emphasize the unbiased examination, thoughtful
analysis and critical testing of experience," said Agocs.
However, the direction of the approach is different, he said.
"The basic difference is that Buddhist inquiry is directed
mainly inwards, towards the consciousness, while scientific
research is mostly targeted outside."

In addition to participating in the science-and-religion
dialogue and organizing conferences on the intersection
between the East and the West, the institute promotes
research on the study of the Buddhist tradition and explores
Buddhism as an applied science that can provide answers to
challenges faced in the world today.

Current programs include the Milky Way project, which is
establishing a Buddhist school. The institute is also
sponsoring research on the mind and the application of
Buddhist mind training methods to psychology and
community building. Eventually, Agocs said he would like to
build cooperative relationships between the center and
other international organizations for interdisciplinary
research projects.

The Chakras
Energy flow
Vitalism
of meditation, whether or not the
word
chi is actually used.

Chi is believed to be the life force
or spiritual energy that sustains all
living things and permeates the
spaces in which they exist.

Chi is usually considered an Asian
concept, but since the dawn of
history, chi has had its counterpart
in every culture—
prana in the Yogic
tradition, for example, and, more loosely,
the
Holy Spirit in Christianity.

The word
chi and its cognates
in most languages derive from roots
that allude to air, breath, spirit, or
wind. The Chinese philosopher
Zhuang Zhou (Zhuang Zi or Master
Zhuang, 370-301 BCE) described
wind as “the
qi of the earth.”

Chi is central to
traditional Chinese
medicine; qigong, tai chi chuan, and
other martial arts; and
feng shui
(pronounced FUNG SHWAY). In the
healthy human body, chi moves
smoothly through the
meridian channels,
or energy centers. (There
is some similarity in concept to
energy flow through the seven
chakras. There are twelve standard
meridians, however, and they are
located on the arms and legs.)

Balancing chi and removing
blockages can restore harmony to
the body. The practices of
acupuncture, acupressure, reiki,
tong ren, and other nontraditional
healing techniques all seek to
balance chi and allow it to flow
freely. The same principle applies to
spaces—homes, gardens, offices—
and the goal of feng shui is to
arrange the environment in a way
that is harmonious and healthful.
