  • Zen Buddhism: Volume 2: a History (Japan) Free
    FREE ZEN BUDDHISM: VOLUME 2: A HISTORY (JAPAN) PDF Heinrich Dumoulin | 520 pages | 31 Mar 2006 | World Wisdom Books | 9780941532907 | English | Bloomington, IN, United States Heinrich Dumoulin, S.J. () Though Zen is said to be based on a "special transmission outside scriptures" which "did not stand upon words", [1] the Zen-tradition has a rich doctrinal and textual background. It has been influenced by sutras such as the Lankavatara Sutra[2] [3] the Vimalakirti Sutra[4] [5] [6] the Avatamsaka Sutra[7] and the Lotus Sutra. Subsequently, the Zen tradition produced a rich corpus of written literature which has become a part of its practice and teaching, including the Platform Sutra[3] [8] lineage charts, collected sayings of Zen-masters, and the koan-literature. Contrary to the popular image, literature does play a role in the Zen-training. UnsuiZen-monks, "are expected to become familiar with the classics of the Zen canon". Nevertheless, Zen is often pictured as anti-intellectual. Zen Buddhism: Volume 2: A History (Japan) use of koans, which are highly stylized literary texts, reflects this popularity among the higher classes. One view was that of jiaowai biechuan"a special transmission outside the teaching". The famous saying "do not establish words and letters", attributed in this period to Bodhidharma, [14]. The Zen tradition, especially Rinzai Zen, aims to give a direct transmission of insight, and stresses the impossibility of giving any positive statement of this insight. Not founded upon words and letters. It lets one see into [one's own true] nature and [thus] attain Buddhahood. An example of this non- dependence on words and scripture in 9th century China is Teshan Tokusan From the Zen perspective, scriptures are nothing but scraps of paper for wiping up filth.

  • Zen Buddhism
    A Zen Master in Meditation, Shi K’o (Sekkaku). 10th Century Zen Buddhism SÇtÇ Zen Essays from the ShÇbÇgenzÇ by DÇgen Zenji [DÇgen Zenji (1200-1253) was the founder of the SÇtÇ school of Zen Buddhism. This essay is part of a remarkable collection of essays called ShÇbÇgenzÇ, or “Treasury of the Eye of True Teaching.” The commentary introducing the essays is by the translator Thomas Cleary.] The Issue at Hand (GenjÇkÇan) The term genjÇkÇan seems to appear first in ninth-century China and is often used in Japanese SÇtÇ Zen to refer to present being as the topic of meditation or the issue of Zen. Gen means “manifestation” or “present,” jÇ means “become.” GenjÇ means actuality—being as is, at hand, or accomplished, as of an accomplished fact. KÇan is a common Zen word which is often left untranslated, having to some extent become a naturalized English word. KÇ means official, public, or open, as opposed to private or personal; an means a consideration, or a considered decision. A kÇan in standard literary Chinese means an official report or an issue under consideration. The term was adopted in Zen with much the same meanings, only transposed into the frame of reference of Zen tradition and experience. GenjÇkÇan is one of the most popular and oft-quoted essays in ShÇbÇgenzÇ. Written to a lay disciple, it contains a number of key points stated in a most concise fashion. The very first paragraph contains a complete outline of Zen, in a covert presentation of the so-called “five ranks” (go i) device of the original Chinese SÇtÇ Zen school.

  • The Koan Is Said to Pose to the Ze N Practitione R a Parado X Unsolvabl E by the Rational , Intellectualizing Mind
    11 Koan and Kensho in the Rinzai Zen Curriculum G. VICTOR SOGEN HORI LCCORDING to a widely accepted model, a koan i s a clever psycho- logical device designed to induce satori or kensho. The koan is said to pose to the Ze n practitione r a parado x unsolvabl e by the rational , intellectualizing mind. Drive n int o a n eve r more desperat e corne r b y his repeate d futil e at - tempts to solve what cannot be rationally solved, the practitioner finally breaks through the barrier of rational intellection to the realm of preconceptual an d prelinguistic consciousnes s variousl y calle d pur e consciousness , no-mind , without-thinking, or emptiness. Thi s breakthrough i s called satori or kensho. The cleverness of the koan consists in the fact that rather than attacking reason and logi c fro m outside, th e koa n use s reaso n t o driv e itsel f int o a self - contradiction and cause its own destruction. In this picture, the koan is funda- mentally an instrument and has no use except as a means for psychologically inducing kensho. These two notions—the koan as nonrational, psychological instrument, an d kensho a s th e breakthroug h t o nonrational , noncognitive , pure consciousness—nicely support each other.1 However, thes e conceptions o f koan an d kensho were criticized long ago . Dogen, i n th e "Sansuiky5 " ("Mountains an d Water s Sutra") fascicle of the Shobogenzo, writes: In grea t Sun g Chin a toda y there ar e a grou p o f scatterbrained people , whose number i s so large that the y cannot possibly be scare d of f by the faithfu l few.

AHN i Preface to The Collected Works of Korean Buddhism At the start of the twenty-first century, humanity looked with hope on the dawning of a new millennium. A decade later, however, the global village still faces the continued reality of suffering, whether it is the slaughter of innocents in politically volatile regions, the ongoing economic crisis that currently roils the world financial system, or repeated natural disasters. Buddhism has always taught that the world is inherently unstable and its teachings are rooted in the perception of the three marks that govern all conditioned existence: impermanence, suffering, and non-self.

  • Gushan: the Formation of a Chan Lineage During the Seventeenth Century and Its Spread to Taiwan
    Gushan: the Formation of a Chan Lineage During the Seventeenth Century and Its Spread to Taiwan Hsuan-Li Wang Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Hsuan-Li Wang All rights reserved ABSTRACT Gushan: the Formation of a Chan Lineage During the Seventeenth Century and Its Spread to Taiwan Hsuan-Li Wang Taking Gushan 鼓山 Monastery in Fujian Province as a reference point, this dissertation investigates the formation of the Gushan Chan lineage in Fujian area and its later diffusion process to Taiwan. From the perspective of religion diffusion studies, this dissertation investigates the three stages of this process: 1. the displacement of Caodong 曹洞 Chan center to Fujian in the seventeenth century; 2. Chinese migration bringing Buddhism to Taiwan in the Qing dynasty (1644-1911) and 3. the expansion diffusion activities of the institutions and masters affiliated with this lineage in Taiwan during the Japanese rule (1895-1945), and the new developments of humanistic Buddhism (renjian fojiao 人間佛教) after 1949. In this spreading process of the Gushan Chan lineage, Taiwanese Buddhism has emerged as the bridge between Chinese and Japanese Buddhism because of its unique historical experiences. It is in the expansion diffusion activities of the Gushan Chan lineage in Taiwan that Taiwanese Buddhism has gradually attained autonomy during the Japanese rule, leading to post-war new developments in contemporary humanistic Buddhism.

I believe that this is because the Buddha’s basic approach was to prescribe a different treatment for every spiritual ailment, much as a doctor prescribes a different medicine for every medical ailment. Thus his teachings were always appropriate for the particu­ lar suffering individual and for the time at which the teaching was given, and over the ages not one of his prescriptions has failed to relieve the suffering to which it was addressed. Ever since the Buddha’s Great Demise over twenty-five hundred years ago, his message of wisdom and compassion has spread through­ out the world.

  • THE BUDDHIST PHILOSOPHERS the Foregoing Was a Beginning
    CHAPTER FOUR THE BUDDHIST PHILOSOPHERS The foregoing was a beginning sketch of Mou’s opinion of what the Buddha wanted to teach and how he went about gradually commu- nicating it. However Buddhist philosophers have not been able to agree on precisely what the Buddha meant to teach us. When Mou reads through the history of their scholastic disputations, his eyes pick out what he thinks is a very significant constant: though the Bud- dhist philosophers concur on some important things, particularly how the universe looks when viewed with prajñā, they disagree very conse- quentially on the topic of “buddha-nature” ( foxing 佛性), namely how much ordinary creatures like us have in common with buddhas and how it is that we can attain buddhahood.1 This may sound aridly metaphysical, but to Mou and the Buddhist commentators, it is extremely weighty and deeply practical too. Trans- lated into concrete terms, the question of buddha-nature amounts to asking, If I want to be a buddha, how much do I have to change? What are the conditions and constraints? Do I have to acquire a special kind of body, or will any body do? Do I have to radically renovate the structure of my mind, or is it enough just to make relatively minor changes to the one I have now? Will it take aeons, or could it happen soon? Will I have to go to a different world? Will my chances depend on luck, or can I exert much control over them?2 1 Mou sometimes refers to these as, on the one hand, the question of how to medi- tate or or contemplate things ( guanfa 觀法), which I have been explaining as the ques- tion of how prajñā sees things, which is the subject matter of “prajñā learning” (boruo xue 般若學), and on the other hand the “ontological” questions of liberation ( jietuo 解脫) and buddhaphala ( foguo 佛果) (FB, 625–47).

  • Secret of Hen (Pian)-Sho (Zheng) Reciprocity" and His Koan "The So Und of a Single Hand"
    Journal of Indian and Buddhist Studies Vol. 39, No. 2, March 1991 Hakuin Ekaku's Insight into "The Deep Secret of Hen (Pian)-Sho (Zheng) Reciprocity" and His Koan "The So und of a Single Hand" Gishin TOKIWA 1. Hakuin Ekaku (1685-1768), a Rinzai-Zen master. lived in the middle of the Yedo Period. In one of his sermons in kana syllabary, Neboke-no- Mezame ("The Dozer Awakes") (1749), Hakuin, then sixty-five years old, for the first time announced his adoption of a new koan, "The Sound of A Single Hand," in place of the traditional "Joshu's Mu" koan, as a device for Awakening practice, as follows: Viewing contemporary Buddhists' ways of practice, we notice most of them so worldly-minded as to make the pursuit of fame and gain their principles; to help others in the affairs of money and land; some bonzes of low gift go so far as to misconduct themselves in a manner worse than some lay people. The Buddha Dharma is at a low ebb; Sakyamuni's original intent is far from being at work. The old-fellow-in-Hara's "The Sound of A Single Hand," Bodhidharma's nine years' wall-contemplation, Mahakasyapa's smile in response to Sakyamuni's holding up a flower-things like these are the last things they think of. No wonder they throw all these things into the western sea, curry favor with lay parishioners, and make it their single concern to pass through this world. Even if they happen to see Buddhist scriptures or Zen masters' recorded sayings, they know nothing of their meaning.
