>Buddha-Prince from 14th century Java by

>Publication Details: Orchid Press. Thailand. 2008.
>ISBN if available: 9789745241077
>Description: Colour photographic illustrations, x + 332pp, appendices,
>bibliography, index, dustjacket.
>Summary of content: The 14th century epic poem,
>Sutasoma, relates the life of a
>prince, born an incarnation of the Jina-Buddha Wairocana. It follows his
>spiritual journey to enlightenment, and his
>temporal journey through marriage,
>kingship and eventual victory over the mighty, world-threatening demon,
>Porußåda.
>Kate O'Brien's new translation delivers to the
>reader a highly approachable and
>lively rendition of this Buddhist epic,
>comparable in both complexity and scale
>to that of the Råmåyana, yet significantly less known or understood.
>O'Brien's accompanying analysis reveals a
>fascinating aspect of the poem, until
>now not fully comprehended. Aside from its function to elucidate the
>compatibility of Buddhahood and kingship, it
>also reveals within its verses what
>amounts to a literary mandala, as complex and philosophically rich as the
>beautiful mandala images of Tibetan Buddhism,
>yet firmly rooted in the Javanese
>milieu of the Majapahit polity which spawned this version of a very ancient
>tale. It is this literary mandala that is the
>path to Sutasoma's enlightenment,
>and this in turn the key to his success as a World Protector and Universal
>Monarch.
>This entertaining and attractively illustrated
>edition will appeal to readers
>with interest in the literary traditions of southeast Asia and of tantric
>Buddhism, and also to a wider audience who wish
>to understand the foundations,
>both mystical and practical, underpinning much
>of Javanese and Balinese society

>Author: Ricklefs, M.C.
>Title: Mystic Synthesis in Java. A History of
>Islamization from the Fourteenth to
>the Early Nineteenth Centuries.
>Publication Details: EastBridge. Norwalk. 2006.
>ISBN if available: 9781891936616
>Description: Maps, xii + 263pp, glossary, bibliography, index, paperback.
>Summary of content: This important book analyses the Islamisation of the
>Javanese, the largest ethnic group in Indonesia, the nation with the largest
>Muslim population in the world. Java represents an important case study in
>Islam’s spread from the Middle East to the far reaches of the globe.
>
>This process gave rise to contested senses of
>identity: What did it mean to be
>both Javanese and Muslim? For some Javanese, Hindu-Buddhism and Islam were
>probably alternative, not mutually exclusive,
>sources of supernatural power. For
>others, cultural boundaries were clear and one must choose between being
>Javanese or Muslim. The greatest of these identities were reconciled in the
>early seventeenth century by the greatest of
>Java’s kings, Sultan Agung. But his
>successors were less comfortable with this reconciliation and thus found
>themselves opposed by committed Muslims. These successor kings turned to the
>Dutch East India Company for support, alliance
>with Christians further feeding
>rebellion. Not until a century after Agung was a
>reconciliation of Islam and the
>court aristocracy — the epitome of what it meant to be Javanese — again
>achieved.
>The result was a society deeply committed to
>Islam, observant of its ritual life,
>but admitting indigenous, non-Islamic, spiritual forces to the faith. Thus,
>after 400 years, was achieved the “mystic synthesis” of this book’s title.
>Mobilising Javanese, Dutch, and other sources,
>Professor Ricklefs presents a book
>that should be read by anyone interested in the
>history of Islam, of Indonesia,
>or, as he puts it — of “societies that move across what we think of as
>boundaries” — for they take us closer to the
>question of what we are as human
>beings.
