The nature and function of the Buddhist and Ru teachings in Li Daochun’s (fl. ca. 1288) Wondrous Way of Peerless Orthodox Truth
No full textThis study examines of the way of cultivation taught by Li Daochun (fl. ca. 1288)
and preserved by him and several of his disciples in two lengthy works: Qingan yingchan
zi yulu (Dialogic Treatise of Master Qingan yingchan) and the Zhonghe ji (Anthology on
the Centre and Harmony). Li describes his teaching as the "Wondrous Way of Peerless
Orthodox Truth" and claims that great teachers have transmitted it wordlessly down
through the ages. Further, it lies at the heart of the Three Teachings: Buddhist, Ru literati,
and Daoist. This "Wondrous Way," being fundamentally beyond words, simultaneously
exists outside the confines of the "Three Teachings." It is well known among scholars
studying the many varied facets of what is referred to generally as "Taoism" that teachers
such as Li Daochun, who described themselves as Golden Elixir (jindan) adepts, also
represented themselves as unifiers of the Three Teachings. It has often been noted that
Golden Elixir texts show evidence of influence from Buddhism, (Chan Buddhism in
particular) and from ideas associated with the way of personal cultivation taught by
Confucius and Mencius, and later reinvented by Ru literati of the Song and Yuan
dynasties and, at the close of the thirteenth century, unified by Zhu Xi (1130-1200) under
the designation "Daoxue" (Teaching of the Way). Employing translated material from the
two texts mentioned above, this study enriches these observations with greater detail
concerning the precise nature of the influences, both in terms of their provenance and the
way in which Li has reinterpreted and incorporated these "Teachings" into his way of
cultivation. This added detail sheds light on what Li thought the labels "Buddhist
Teaching" and "Ru Teaching" represented. By examining exactly how these teachings
were adapted to Li Daochun's "Wondrous Way of Peerless Orthodox Truth" insight is also gained into Li's formation of his own identity. He demonstrates a high degree of
facility with a variety of Buddhist doctrines and the Daoxue approach to cultivation as
uses his impressive understanding to mould the "Teachings" to his own purposes.
Ultimately, Li's project of "unification" rests on his efforts at recreation.Arts, Faculty ofAsian Studies, Department ofGraduat

Get PDFThe value, relevance, and efficacy of conducting and publishing research has been widely debated throughout the agricultural economics profession. On the one hand, some argue that the research process creates little value and directly competes with teaching/outreach output. On the other hand, others argue that research provides answers to important questions, improves human capital, and complements teaching/outreach activities. I argue that the research and publishing process develops human capital, improves the quality of teaching/outreach, reduces bias, generates new ideas, improves societal welfare, creates innovation, and is essential for public policy debate.publishing, research, Research and Development/Tech Change/Emerging Technologies,

No full textCitation ranking versus peer evaluation of senior faculty research performance: a case study of Kurdish Scholarship
Get PDFThe purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between citation ranking and peer evaluation in assessing senior faculty research performance. Other studies typically derive their peer evaluation data directly from referees often in the form of ranking. This study uses two additional sources of peer evaluation data: citation content analysis and book review content analysis. Two main questions are investigated: (a) To what degree does citation ranking correlate with data from citation content analysis, book reviews, and peer ranking? (b) Is citation ranking a valid evaluative indicator of research performance of senior faculty members? Citation data, book reviews, and peer ranking were compiled and examined for faculty members specializing in Kurdish studies. Analysis shows that normalized citation ranking and citation content analysis data yield identical ranking results. Analysis also shows that normalized citation ranking and citation content analysis, book reviews, and peer ranking perform similarly (i.e., are highly correlated) for high-ranked and low-ranked senior scholars. Additional evaluation methods and measures that take into account the context and content of research appear to be needed to effectively evaluate senior scholars whose performance ranks relatively in the middle. Citation content analysis data did appear to give some specific and important insights into the quality of research of these middle performers, however, further analysis and research is needed to validate this finding. This study shows that citation ranking can provide a valid indicator for comparative evaluation of senior faculty research performance

Storytellers' reports of the good work of storytelling
No full textStorytelling is often experienced as profound and transformative. Scholars view storytelling as both human essence and essential to human survival. This exploratory, qualitative study explored contemporary storytellers' reports of the good work of storytelling using the GoodWork Project (GWP) (Gardner, Csikszentmihalyi, and Damon, 2001) as the conceptual framework. Guided by the GWP this study examined cultural controls, social controls, individual standards, and outcome controls that impacted storytellers, their practice and good work. This study applied the methodology of Gardner, Gregory, Csikszentmihalyi, Damon, and Michaelson (1997) and Gardner et al. (2001) to answer the primary research question, What do storytellers report regarding the good work of storytelling as conceptualized by the GWP (Gardner et al, 2001)? The unit of analysis was professional storytellers representing a population that that has not been studied any detailed and disciplined way. The cohort of a 12 storytellers, 3 men and nine women represented African American, Appalachian, Jewish, and Native American storytelling traditions. The protocol instrument consisted of inquiries in nine areas about their experiences, professional work, personal values, beliefs, opportunities and responsibilities relevant to storytelling. The author conducted an in-depth one-on-one interview with 12 exemplary storytellers, all creative leaders. The complete interview was digitally recorded and transcribed verbatim. Storyteller responses comprised the data. The researcher hand-coded the content by hand, identifying eleven themes and GWP subtopics. For further data analysis, NVivo 10 text-analysis software was used. These steps categorized interviewees' statements according to richly interlinked motifs and ideas, which permitted the author to verify nodes showing the data's correspondence to the GWP conceptual framework. Seven conclusions emanated from the findings describing storytellers' good work. The oral tradition, dedication to serving others, personal values, trust in storytelling community, culture and cultural heritage, and the paradox of technology impacted storytellers' good work. All of the storytellers interviewed and the overwhelming majority of contemporary scholarly literature agree with the argument that this dissertation develops, which is threefold: the human connection is at the heart of the power of story; second, the social environment for creative expression underlies the capacity of storytellers to do their professional work; and third, the opportunity to benefit other people, communities and support their own culture, also form critical features of storytellers' good work. This study contributes to the view of storytelling as an art form and a leadership skill. It addresses the ethical questions of the use of stories and storytelling in business or corporate settings. This study described professional storytellers' experiences navigating complexities of the storytelling profession in today's highly technological and rapidly changing environment
