With this smile he showed that he had understood the wordless essence of the dharma. Buddhism was introduced to China in the first century CE. He was the 28th Indian patriarch of Zen and the first Chinese patriarch. Buddhism was introduced in Japan in the 8th century CE during the Nara period and the Heian period — This recognition was granted. InEisai traveled to China, whereafter he studied Tendai for twenty years. Zen fit the way of life of the samurai : confronting death without fear, and acting in a spontaneous and intuitive way. During this period the Five Mountain System was established, which institutionalized an influential part of the Rinzai school. In the beginning of the Muromachi period the Gozan system was fully worked out. The Zen and Japanese Culture version contained five temples of both Kyoto and Kamakura. A second tier of the system consisted of Ten Temples. This system was extended throughout Japan, effectively giving control to the central government, which administered this system. Not all Rinzai Zen organisations were under such strict state control. The Rinka monasteries, which were primarily located in rural areas rather than cities, had a greater degree of independence. After a period of war Japan was re-united in the Azuchi—Momoyama period.

Japan Studies Association of Canada 2020 Ad Hoc Conference Date
Japan Studies Association of Canada 2020 ad hoc Conference delivered online with ZOOM Date: October 17-18, 2020 Hosted by Professors Aya Fujiwara (University of Alberta) and Norio Ota (York University) Panel Coordinator and Chair: Jay Goulding Panel 3. Japan and Philosophy Saturday October 17 3:00-4:15 pm © Jay Goulding PhD, 2020 Heidegger’s Japanese Interlocutors Revisited Abstract: Over a five-decade period, the hermeneutic phenomenologist Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) entertains elite Japanese scholars in what has come to be known as the Freiburg pilgrimage. In this paper, we revisit these interactions and the impact on Japanese philosophy and religion. Tanabe Hajime 田辺元 (1885-1962), Yamanouchi Tokuryū 山内得立 (1890-1982), Kuki Shūzō 九鬼周造 (1888-1941), Watsuji Tetsurō 和辻哲郎 (1889-1960) and Nishitani Keiji 西谷啓治 (1900-1990) are well known students of Heidegger’s philosophy. Others including Tsujimura Kōichi 辻村公一 (1922–2010), Hisimatsu Shinichi 久松真一 (1889-1980) and Abe Masao 阿部正雄 (1915-2006) make their mark on a then expanding field of tetsugaku 哲學 (philosophy) as Japan’s intellectual attempt to handshake with the Western world. Contrary to Western impulses to whole heartedly accept Suzuki Daisetsu Teitarō’s 鈴木大拙貞太郎 (1894-1966) version of Zen from the Rinzai-shu 臨済宗, many Heidegger scholars stress theory and practice of Sōtō-shū 曹洞宗, with Watsuji leading the way in his resurrection of Dōgen Zenji’s 道元禅師 (1200-1253) teaching proper. The paper sketches out Suzuki’s engagement with Heidegger as well as that of long-forgotten philosopher and one-time Bavarian noble Karlfried Graf Dürckheim (1896-1988). Dürckheim first introduces Suzuki to Heidegger.

Shorin~ Bodhidharma's Tempel in China, Kutsu~ Höhle, Dojo~ Üb
Shorinkutsu und Zen-Essenz, Stand 25.11.18 Shorinkutsu Dojo (Shorin~ Bodhidharma’s Tempel in China, kutsu~ Höhle, Dojo~ Übungshalle) ist kein Tempel, sondern eine reine Übungsstätte für den Zen-Weg. Zen-Lehrer Das Zendo wurde 1931 von Iida Toin Roshi (1863-1937) in Osaka Takatsuki gegründet. Toin Roshi übte in der ersten Lebenshälfte Zen als Laie bei verschiedenen Rinzai-Meistern, erst als 60 Jähriger wurde er von Harada Daiun Sogaku Roshi (1871-1961) zum Soto Mönch ordiniert - auch Sogaku Roshi hatte ein Zen-Training bei Soto- und Rinzai-Meistern hinter sich. Heute werden in diesem ersten Shorinkutsu Dojo vom Toin Roshi Großenkel, Katano Rintaro, Zazenkai angeboten (keine Verpflegungs- und Übernachtungsmöglichkeit). Der 2. Abt Iida Tobun Roshi (1886-1935) erkrankte bereits zwei Jahren nach seiner Ernennung schwer. Der 3. Abt Inoue Giko Roshi (1883-1968) gründete 1958 ein zweites Shorinkutsu Dojo mit Übernachtungsmöglichkeit und kleiner Küche, für eine begrenzte Teilnehmerzahl in Tadanoumi bei Hiroshima. Nach Giko Roshi wurde Shorinkutsu vom 4. Abt, von Inoue Daichi Roni (1902-1984), der „außerordentlichen alten Nonne“ weitergeführt. Seit 1984 ist der 5. Abt, Inoue Kido Roshi (1940- ) für die geistige Leitung des Shorinkutsu Dojo verantwortlich. Bereits mit 13 Jahren legte er das Mönchsgelübde ab und übte sich von 1962 bis 1984 unter Giko Roshi und Daichi Roni im Zen. Die Shorinkutsu Dojo gehören zur Soto-Schule aber auf dem Zen-Weg gibt es kein Soto und kein Rinzai, sondern nur Shikantaza (Geist folgt genau dem Ein- und dem Ausatmen), Bodhaishin (ernsthaftes Streben nach Erkenntnis, nach Erleuchtung) und alltägliche kurze Koan, da die üblichen längeren Koan, das intellektuelle Denken eher anregen als abschneiden.

Mind Moon Circle a Journal of the Sydney Zen Centre
Mind Moon Circle A journal of the Sydney Zen Centre Teachings that can’t be taught… Spring/Summer 2015 About the Issue: Teachings that can’t be taught… Stuart Solzberg Teachings that can’t be taught…to me are the essence of the Zen teachings. These beginningless and endless teachings remain impossible to teach, and yet can be learned over and over and over again. From my most sorrowful sorrows to my most joyous of joys, these life experiences prevail to be the true teachings that I will not find in any book or from any teacher, and exemplify the Zen teachings in the deepest of ways and of the clarity found in the unclear mystery. Many texts, maps, guides, and fingers pointing the way, this is good, crucial and very necessary. But these are not the teachings. To understand Zen intellectually is not the full understanding. I must feel it with every cell in my body, in every follicle of hair on my skin. It is the naturalism and experiential nature of our practice that always prevails in the end. The teachings of a life lived; the passing of time; the ebbs and flows; I am born, I grow, I learn, I live, I joy and I sorrow, I age, I get sick, I die; these cannot be fabricated or forced. Gradually you purify yourself, eliminating mistaken knowledge and attitudes you have held from the past. Inside and outside become one. You’re like a mute person who has had a dream – you know it for yourself alone. Suddenly Mu breaks open.

A Tentative Exploration Into the Development of Master Sheng Yen’S Chan Teachings
Chung-Hwa Buddhist Journal (2010, 23:3-38) Taipei: Chung-Hwa Institute of Buddhist Studies 中華佛學學報第二十三期頁3-38 (民國九十九年)，臺北：中華佛學研究所 ISSN:1017-7132 A Tentative Exploration into the Development of Master Sheng Yen’s Chan Teachings Dr. Jimmy Yu Assistant Professor, Florida State University Abstract In 2006 the late Master Shengyen Huikong 聖嚴慧空 (1930-2009) (hereafter, Sheng Yen) established a new Chan Buddhist school called the Dharma Drum Lineage (Fagu zong 法鼓宗), which unites the two lineages of Linji 臨濟 and Caodong 曹洞 that Sheng Yen was heir to. Sheng Yen’s creation of a new Chan school was a momentous historical development in Chinese Buddhism. This article aims to historicize the process of Sheng Yen’s formation of the Dharma Drum Lineage and how his own teachings have evolved over time in response to different conditions. It argues that Sheng Yen Chan teachings does not constitute a stagnant, premeditated set of doctrines, but was a product of his own life experiences, interpretations of early Buddhism, and appropriations of the Japanese Buddhist response to modernity. Sheng Yen’s Chan was unique in that he synthesized the early Buddhist Āgama teachings with the teachings embodied in the Platform Scripture. His formulation of Chan as a form of “Buddhist education” was uniquely modern, but at the same time not out of line with the adaptive nature of Chan in Chinese history. He took a critical stance against contemporary representations of Chan as antinomian and spontaneous, ungrounded in Buddhist doctrine, and appropriated, reinterpreted, and reinvigorated traditional teachings, especially in a time when these values and teachings had already lost much of their ideological vigor to meet the needs of modern times and revive Chinese Buddhism.
