Die Mahar Neo-Buddhisten: Identitätswandel durch Konversion?

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2004 im Fachbereich Theologie - Vergleichende Religionswissenschaft, Note: sehr gut, Universitat Bern (Institut fur Religionswissenschaft), 9 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Am 14. Oktober 1956 traten B.R. Ambedkar und mit ihm Tausende von Angehorigen der Mahar-Kaste in einer offentlichen Zeremonie zum Buddhismus uber. Mit dieser Konversion hofften sie, den Diskriminierungen, denen sie als Unberuhrbare ausgesetzt waren, entfliehen zu konnen. Diese Massenkonversion ist das Thema meiner Arbeit. Konkret werde ich mich dabei mit den Auswirkungen des Religionswechsels auf die Identitat der Neo-Buddhisten befassen. Identitat wird hier verstanden als eine Kombination aus der Selbst- und der Fremdwahrnehmung, d.h. dem Bild, das eine Gruppe von sich aufbaut und mit dem sich ihre Mitglieder identifizieren, sowie der Sicht, die andere von dieser Gruppe haben. Wie hat sich also das Selbstbild der Mahars nach der Konversion verandert, wie leben sie ihre Religion, und wie werden sie von aussen wahrgenommen? Seit der Massenkonversion im Jahr 1956 wurde sehr viel uber die ambedkarische Bewegung geschrieben. Neben den Ursachen der Konversion und der ambedkarischen Interpretation des Buddhismus befasste sich jedoch nur ein Teil der Forscher mit den konkreten Auswirkungen der Konversion auf das Alltagsleben der Neo-Buddhisten. Meine Fragestellung bezieht sich auf die Mikroebene und ist deshalb auf Feldforschungsarbeiten angewiesen. Ich stutze mich dabei hauptsachlich auf die Publikationen von Johannes Beltz, Jayashree Gokhale und Nerra Burra, die alle in den 80er und 90er Jahren wahrend Forschungsaufenthalten in Maharashtra mit Neo-Buddhisten gearbeitet haben. Die Arbeit beginnt mit einem Uberblick uber die Hintergrunde der Massenkonversion und Ambedkars Vision. Auf die ambedkarische Interpretation des Buddhismus werde ich dabei nur insofern eingehen als es eine Rolle spielt fur das Leben der Konvertiten. Darauf folgt ein Kapi"

10 Steps to Mastering Stress

A Lifestyle Approach, Updated Edition

We know that stress is bad for us. We see evidence of this in the news, we hear it from our doctors, and we feel it at the end of a hectic week. Health professionals have learned that stress interferes with our lives-it increases missed work days, can lead to relationship difficulties, and can increase the risk of turning to drugs and alcohol. It has also been shown that in some cases, chronic stress can increase our risk of developing certain serious illnesses. We know of all these negative effects that stress can cause, but, realistically, for most of us there's no end in sight-stressful events will crop up throughout our lives and even daily. We can't stop stressful events from happening, but we can change our lifestyles to better handle stressful situations. The authors of 10 Steps to Mastering Stress, renowned stress and anxiety experts David Barlow, Ronald Rapee, and Sarah Perini, have designed a proven step-by-step program that will help you identify what is causing your stress, teach you calming techniques, and provide you with a realistic approach to reducing your daily stress. This updated edition now includes: *detailed case studies based on real clients the authors have treated, so you can see how every stage of the program is implemented. *new material incorporating mindfulness-based stress reduction strategies and added information on how to deal with real-life problems. *streamlined steps that make the program more efficient and even easier to follow. Based on nearly two decades of research, 10 Steps to Mastering Stress has been scientifically developed and tested to ensure that it is the most effective way to control stress. Readers will learn valuable new skills-new ways of thinking, acting, and organizing their lives to reduce stress to a manageable level.

For example, when you tense your hands and lower arms, the tension should be
restricted simply to these areas. At first, it is likely that you will also tense other
parts of your body—your shoulders, stomach, legs—even your breathing may
stop.
