The English Translation of the Epitaph of the Wu Kingdom Transcendent Duke Ge of the Left Palace of the Grand Bourne by Tao Hongjing
No full textabstract: This thesis is a translation and analysis of the “Epitaph of the Wu Kingdom
Transcendent Duke Ge of the Left Palace of the Grand Bourne” (Epitaph below). The author was Tao Hongjing (456 CE-536 CE). The subject of this Epitaph inscribed on a stele was Ge Xuan (trad. 164 CE-244 CE). Ge Xuan had two titles attributed to him by later Daoists. According to the Lingbao scriptures, Ge was appointed by the Perfected of Grand Bourne, a heavenly title. Later, in the Shangqing scriptures, Ge Xuan was said to be an earthly transcendent without any heavenly appointment. This debate occurred before Tao Hongjing began to write. This stele epitaph is essential, as it records sayings from both Lingbao and Shangqing scriptures. By reading this translated epitaph, scholars can know more about different versions of Ge Xuan's legend, as well as how Ge Xuan's legend was constantly rewritten by later Daoists.Dissertation/ThesisMasters Thesis Religious Studies 202
One-dimensional prescribed mean curvature equation with exponential nonlinearity
No full textWe establish the existence and multiplicity results for the one-dimensional prescribed mean curvature equation - (u'/root 1 + (u')(2))' = lambda e(u), u(0) = 0, u(L) = 0. In particular, we characterize the precise dependence of the multiplicity of solutions with respect to both the length L of the interval and the value of the parameter lambda. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.

Tao Hongjing ji qi Zhen ren zhi gao zhu shi de yan jiu
No full textThe thesis starts with a biographical study of Tao's life and religious experiences by regarding him as an individual living in given social and cultural milieu, in contrast to the general explanatory model related to the development of Taoism in the medieval China. The purpose of the biographical study is to acquire a sympathetic understanding of Tao's point of view of the revealed texts, which will partly explain why Tao concentrated on the revealed manuscripts. Reading into the exegetic texts, I will reconsider Tao's status in the between of revealed manuscripts and Maoshan Revelations with their own meanings and coherent structures, bases on which new understanding of the relation between Tao and Maoshan Revelations will be elucidated with discovery of Tao's authorship in the formation of the Maoshan Revelations. After textual criticism of the exegetic texts, setting the structure and contexts of Tao's exegesis as the starting point, I will link up the exegetic texts with Tao's other writings to reconstruct his Taoist thoughts.This thesis examines the Taoist thoughts of Tao Hongjing (456-536) through a detailed analysis of his exegetic work on Maoshan Revelations. I will attempt to figure out the structure and elements of Tao's Taoist thoughts in my reading of the exegesis, and then reconsider Tao's other writings and Taoist practices within the interpretative framework consists of the structure and theological elements found in the exegesis. Thus, this thesis will consider the following questions respectively: how Tao's individual life and mysterious experiences shaped his understanding of revealed manuscripts; Tao's role as compiler and author in the formation of Maoshan Revelations, setting Tao's exegesis within the tension between fragmentary revealed manuscripts and Taoist scriptures with coherent structures and systematical Taoist thoughts; how one can reconstruct and understand Tao's Taoist thoughts through the structure and contents of his exegesis on Maoshan Revelations, within which his Taoist thoughts unfolded.This work will bring forth an alternative account for Tao as an individual with Taoist belief that based his religious world on revealed Taoist teachings. With the help of biographical study on Tao's mysterious experiences and dreams and reading into the exegesis, the significances of revelations in Tao's Taoist thoughts will be illuminated in following ways: Tao's mysterious experiences made him believe in the authenticity of the revealed teachings; his sympathetic understanding of revealed manuscripts drew him into the exegetic work, within which he unfolded his Taoist thoughts; Tao turned to the revealed teachings of the immortals through meditation when he run into problems during his Taoist practice.程樂松.Sumitted: 2005年12月[Dec. 2005]Sumitted: 2005 nian 12 yue [Dec. 2005]Adviser: Chi-tim Lai.Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 70-09, Section: A, page: .Thesis (doctoral)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2006.Includes bibliographical references (p. 231-243).Electronic reproduction.

The Yumenoki in Chinese-Japanese literature exchange ――focusing on the writing motivation of Myōe――
Get PDFpdfMyōe (1173 ‒1232) left a rare book named Yumenoki that recorded his dreams from the age of 19 to 59. The study on the reason about his behavior of writing his dreams are as follows: 1. The dreams were the signal emitted from the Buddha for Myōe （Okuda Isao. etc.）. 2. Myōe had a rational and positive attitude to dreams, so he could record them over his lifetime （Kawai Hayao）. 3. It is due to the absolute faith in dream （Yamada Shōzen. etc.）. 4. Myōe found the evidence of his training from those dreams（ Nomura Takumi. etc.）. 5. Araki Hiroshi's view is different from them. He sought the reason from Chinese literature and he pointed out that the behavior of recording dreams had begun from Mingxiangji of China.
However, the dream written in the preface of Mingxiangji is a temporary record made by the author to claim that his work is based on the instruction of God. That is different from Myōe’s Yumenoki in which writing down the dreams was a habit. According to the author’s studies, there are in China records which preceded the Yumenoki. For example, as early as the times of Qiliang, we can see dream’s records in Tao Hongjing’s Zhengao and Zhoushimingtongji, or in the Sushiji of Su Shi who lived during the dynasty of Northern Song. Interestingly, we can confirm that Tao Hongjing also have a work named Yumenoki （in Chinese Mengji）. In addition, the possibility that Myōe knew the existence of Yumenoki written by Su Shi and Tao Hongjing is sufficient through the data of that time.
In this paper, to seek the reason why Myōe wrote the Yumenoki, the author will survey Chinese Yumenoki to consider the possibility that Myōe’s behavior was inspired by the Chinese’s Yumenoki, and study the communication between Japan and China.conference pape

Blow-up rates for higher-order semilinear parabolic equations and systems and some Fujita-type theorems
No full textAbstractIn this paper, we derive blow-up rates for higher-order semilinear parabolic equations and systems. Our proof is by contradiction and uses a scaling argument. This procedure reduces the problems of blow-up rate to Fujita-type theorems. In addition, we also give some new Fujita-type theorems for higher-order semilinear parabolic equations and systems with the time variable on R. These results are not restricted to positive solutions
