Buddhist poetics, in its associations with China＇s native poetics, did not work its way peacefully into the latter＇s embrace, to begin with. Instead, its appearance was first met with severe criticism and resistance. Aware of this problem, Buddhist translators in ancient China made continuous efforts in adapting Buddhist translations to the reading habits of the local people, which helped to ensure an easier acceptance of Buddhist philosophy by the Chinese people. With the growth and advancement of Buddhism in China, Buddhist poetics was no longer regarded as an enemy by its Chinese counterpart, and the style of Buddhist scripture translation was therefore able to stick closer to that of the original texts. The conclusion is that the poetics of one foreign literary system, when it comes to a new cultural environment, instead of remaining unaltered, usually goes through a complicated process of clashing and confl cfing with the native poetics before they two become reconciled and compatible with each other.展开更多

Dissolution and manifestation of the universe happen to occur periodically. In this paper,analysis has been undertaken on the basis of scientific development on well accepted cosmological model, different scientific concepts and on one Vedic/Tantric scriptural remark. According to Vedic/Tantric scriptural remark, at the time of dissolution of the universe it remains in the form of gram. Different scientific tools like Electron Microscopy, X-rays powder diffraction method. Raman & UV spectroscopy have been applied in analyzing the two parts of gram and finally to find out what do they correspond to cosmological analysis of Big Bang singularity. Main mechanisms in action in dissolution and manifestation have also been pointed out.展开更多
