[more] Comprehensive and authoritative, this Handbook provides a nuanced description and analysis of educational systems, practices, and policies in Asian countries and explains and interprets these practices from cultural, social, historical, and economic perspectives. Using a culture-based framework, the volume is organized in five sections, each devoted to educational practices in one civilization in Asia: Sinic, Japanese, Islamic, Buddhist, and Hindu. Culture and culture identities essentially are civilization identities; the major differences among civilizations are rooted in their different cultures. This framework offers a novel approach to capturing the essence of the diverse educational systems and practices in Asia. Uniquely combining description and interpretation of educational practices in Asia, this Handbook is a must-have resource for education researchers and graduate students in international and comparative education, globalization and education, multicultural education, sociocultural foundations of education, and Asian studies, and for educational administrators and education policy makers.

[more] We wish to emphasize that this chapter is designed with particular reference to Buddhist education, as there are chapters in other sections dealing with Hindu and Islamic Education which were also revived after the colonial era and absorbed into the Sri Lankan unified system. As Sri Lanka has been known by different names in the past, it is useful to begin with this. Over 3,000 years ago, Mahabharata referred to the island as ¿Lanka.¿? In the sixth century bc when North Indian settlers-the forefathers of the contemporary Sinhalese-arrived, they referred to it as ¿Lanka¿? and ¿Thambapanni.¿? Arabs called it ¿Serendib.¿? In Sanskrit, it was called SinhalaDweepa and in Pali, Sinhala-Deepa, meaning the island inhabited by the Sinhalese. Early Chinese visitors in the fourth century ad referred to it as ¿Sinhale.¿? After Buddhism was introduced in the third century bc, it was also called ¿Dharmadvipa.¿? After the arrival of the Portuguese in 1505, as it was difficult for them to pronounce ¿Sinhale¿? they called it ¿Zeilan.¿? After the Dutch arrived in 1657, they continued to use this name, and when the British came in 1796, they called it ¿Ceylon.¿? However, its original name was always ¿Lanka¿? (Codrington 1939), and when the country was made a republic in 1972, the term ¿Sri,¿? meaning blessed, was added to this, for its current name of ¿Sri Lanka¿?.

Before Enlightenment he was born as a royal prince named Siddhartha in 508 bc. He was the Crown Prince of King Suddhodana of the Shakya Clan in a kingdom at the foot of the Himalaya Mountains in modern Nepal. A hermit called Asita who lived in the nearby mountains noticed a special phenomenon on the day of his birth, came to understand that a royal prince was born, and visited the palace to see the prince. When the baby prince was shown, he examined the baby and predicted that if the prince remained in the palace when grown up he would become a universal monarch and subjugate the whole world. However, if he forsook the palace life to embrace a religious life, he would become a Buddha, a savior of the world.
