Ming Zhen Shakya, OHY Dedicatoria "No hace falta que salgas de tu habitación. Quédate sentado ante tu mesa y escucha. Ni siquiera hace falta que escuches: simplemente, espera. Ni siquiera hace falta que esperes: simplemente, aprende a quedarte callado, quieto y a solas. El mundo se te ofrecerá libremente para que le quites la máscara. No tiene otra opción, caerá a tus pies en éxtasis." (Franz Kafka) La Reverenda Ming Zhen Shakya, autora del manuscrito original, nos ofrece en su obra un delicioso trabajo Zen. Como tal, su lectura resulta amena a la vez que instructiva, y en más de una ocasión el lector se verá abrumado por la aparente sencillez de lo que en él se puede leer. Pero como en muchas historias budistas, la enseñanza de cada capítulo es increíblemente profunda, y con cada nueva lectura descubrirá algunos aspectos que antes pasaban desapercibidos. Esta bonita obra surgió inicialmente como un pequeño manual práctico destinado a un público que ansiaba alcanzar lo antes posible la liberación que ofrece el Zen. Por tanto, se ha prescindido de una buena parte de la formalidad que caracteriza los escritos tradicionales, algo que seguramente agradecerá el lector de a pie. Sin embargo, la labor de traducción no ha sido fácil. Muchas personas han participado directa o indirectamente en ella, y a todos ellos les estamos enormemente agradecidos; igualmente, pedimos disculpas por los errores que podamos haber cometido. Ahora desearíamos dedicar a nuestra tutora, la Reverenda Ming Zhen Shakya, nuestro granito de arena en esta obra. Gracias a ella hemos podido descubrir el maravilloso mundo del sacerdocio por Internet. Algo que podría parecer una paradoja - la página web y el koan, el correo electrónico y el zazen - cobra sentido en su vida y obra. Los que hemos tenido el privilegio de aprender de ella anhelamos poder transmitir esta forma de sentir y vivir el Dharma. ¡Que su espíritu perdure por muchos siglos! Tus discípulos, Chuan Ming Shakya, OHY Yin Zhi Shakya, OHY Información: [email protected] 3 http://www.hsuyun.org/ El Séptimo Mundo del Budismo Chan Autora: Rev. Ming Zhen Shakya, OHY El Séptimo Mundo del Budismo Chan Una Guía para Principiantes en el aprendizaje de la historia y la práctica del Budismo Chan. Escrito por: Ming Zhen Shakya anteriormente llamada Chuan Yuan Shakya Traducido al Español por Yin Zhi Shakya y Chuan Ming Shakya Prefacio Este libro debe leerse despacio y detenidamente – Nunca será mucho lo que esto se pueda enfatizar. Por favor, tómese su tiempo – no simplemente porque el estilo en que se ha escrito es tal que si hay mucho que leer de una vez, las oraciones llegan a ser numerosas, sino porque el apurarse no es beneficioso para la comprensión. En lugar de una expansión gradual y unificada, habrá justamente una mezcla inconclusa de partes. Los libros que tratan de religión pueden ser entretenidos o no, pero ellos nunca son novelas. No es la vida de alguien la que estamos leyendo. Es la nuestra. Incluso el desarrollo histórico de Chan puede darles lecciones útiles, si percibimos las dificultadas y la relacionamos con las muchas narraciones o relatos de pruebas y fracasos y de errores y correcciones de nuestras propias vidas individuales. Si quieres comenzar con la práctica existente de Chan, puedes seguir las instrucciones dadas en el Capítulo Diez (10) a medida que lees los largos pasajes históricos de la primera sección. Similarmente, si deseas comenzar a aprender la sicología de Chan, también puedes pasar por alto la historia e ir directamente al Capítulo Cinco (5). He tratado de presentar una descripción razonable del Budismo Chan Chino contemporáneo, una descripción que podría ser ofensiva para aquellos que practican otras formas de Budismo o podría ser rechazada por aquellos que practican las muchas variedades del Chan, por ser muy heterodoxa u “occidental”. Probablemente habrá quejas. Espero no haber sido injusta, al igual que también espero, que aquellos que objetan mis ideas o la forma que las presento serán constructivos en su crítica. La oposición es beneficiosa cuando está libre de malicia. A los americanos les gusta recordar como el Republicano Abe Lincoln una vez hizo un comentario sobre la forma que sus oponentes Demócratas constantemente argumentaban entre ellos. “Ellos son como gatos de callejón que pelean y maúllan toda la noche”, dijo Abe, añadiendo, “El problema es que la próxima mañana descubrimos que lo que estaban haciendo era, haciendo más Demócratas.” Para aquellas partes que son imprecisas, o están ausentes, o son ambiguas u ofensivas, pido mis más sinceras excusas. Yo sólo puedo esperar que en el curso de expresar diferentes puntos de vistas y correcciones, forjemos más Budistas. 4 Información: [email protected] http://www.hsuyun.org/ El Séptimo Mundo del Budismo Chan Autora: Rev.

Capítulo 1: India Ustedes, Dioses, que habitan aquí y que pertenecen a todos los hombres, Extiendan su protección hasta nosotros y hasta nuestras vacas y caballos. – Rig Veda Fue alrededor del año 5000 a. C. [antes de Cristo] o diríamos más o menos un milenio, que muchas tribus nómadas Caucásicas que habitaban libremente el Valle del Rió Danubio de Europa Occidental se incorporaron en un solo pueblo con identificación propia. Unidos por la fuerza atrayente de un lenguaje común, conocido hoy en día como Proto-Indo-Europeo, y solidificados por una agresión común (sino es que fue hostilidad) hacia los extranjeros, estos pueblos semi-civilizados se desarrollaron y actualizaron desde la edad de piedra hasta una era asombrosa de una lucha organizada y un avance social. Ellos eran mayormente altos y rubios, y tales diferencias genéticas, como las que había entre ellos y las personas pequeñas y morenas de los pueblos Mediterráneos fueron aumentadas por la dieta. Porque, aparte de alguna agricultura y algo de pesca, ellos se ocupaban de inmensas manadas y rebaños de ganado vacuno y lanar y tenían toda la leche y carne necesaria para mantener el peso y la fuerza.

From that day on, this simplest yet most profound of teachings was handed down from one generation to the next. At least this is the story that was first recorded a thousand years later, but in China, not in India. Apparently Zen was too simple to be noticed in the land of its origin, where it remained an invisible teaching.

  • A Geographic History of Song-Dynasty Chan Buddhism: the Decline of the Yunmen Lineage
    decline of the yunmen lineage Asia Major (2019) 3d ser. Vol. 32.1: 113-60 jason protass A Geographic History of Song-Dynasty Chan Buddhism: The Decline of the Yunmen Lineage abstract: For a century during China’s Northern Song era, the Yunmen Chan lineage, one of several such regional networks, rose to dominance in the east and north and then abruptly disappeared. Whereas others suggested the decline was caused by a doctri- nal problem, this essay argues that the geopolitics of the Song–Jin wars were the pri- mary cause. The argument builds upon a dataset of Chan abbots gleaned from Flame Records. A chronological series of maps shows that Chan lineages were regionally based. Moreover, Song-era writers knew of regional differences among Chan lin- eages and suggested that regionalism was part of Chan identity: this corroborates my assertion. The essay turns to local gazetteers and early-Southern Song texts that re- cord the impacts of the Song–Jin wars on monasteries in regions associated with the Yunmen lineage. Finally, I consider reasons why the few Yunmen monks who sur- vived into the Southern Song did not reconstitute their lineage, and discuss a small group of Yunmen monks who endured in north China under Jin and Yuan control. keywords: Chan, Buddhism, geographic history, mapping, spatial data n 1101, the recently installed emperor Huizong 徽宗 (r. 1100–1126) I authored a preface for a new collection of Chan 禪 religious biogra- phies, Record of the Continuation of the Flame of the Jianzhong Jingguo Era (Jianzhong Jingguo xudeng lu 建中靖國續燈錄, hereafter Continuation of the Flame).1 The emperor praised the old “five [Chan] lineages, each ex- celling in a family style 五宗各擅家風,” a semimythical system promul- gated by the Chan tradition itself to assert a shared identity among the ramifying branches of master-disciple relationships.

  • 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.

    Who? What? Where? When? Why? Uncovering the Mysteries of Monastery Objects by Ven. Shikai Zuiko o-sensei Zenga by Ven. Anzan Hoshin roshi Photographs by Ven. Shikai Zuiko o-sensei and Nathan Fushin Comeau Article 1: Guan Yin Rupa As you enter the front door of the Monastery you may have noticed a white porcelain figure nearly two feet tall standing on the shelf to the left. Who is she? Guan Yin, Gwaneum, Kanzeon, are some of the names she holds from Chinese, Korean, and Japanese roots. The object is called a "rupa" in Sanskrit, which means "form" and in this case a statue that has the form of a representation of a quality which humans hold dear: compassion. I bought this 20th century rupa shortly after we established a small temple, Zazen-ji, on Somerset West. This particular representation bears a definite resemblance to Ming dynasty presentations of "One Who Hears the Cries of the World". Guan Yin, Gwaneum, Kanzeon seems to have sprung from the Indian representation of the qualities of compassion and warmth portrayed under another name; Avalokitesvara. The name means "looking down on and hearing the sounds of lamentation". Some say that Guan Yin is the female version of Avalokitesvara. Some say that Guan Yin or, in Japan, Kannon or Kanzeon, and Avalokitesvara are the same and the differences in appearance are the visibles expression of different influences from different cultures and different Buddhist schools, and perhaps even the influence of Christianity's madonna. Extensive background information is available in books and on the web for those interested students.

  • Guo Gu (Professor Jimmy Yu) Is a Worthy Heir to the Great Chan Master Sheng Yen
    “A very helpful guide to the investigation of the Zen kōan from a perspective not yet widely known in the West. Guo Gu (Professor Jimmy Yu) is a worthy heir to the great Chan master Sheng Yen. He provides lucid comments on each of the cases in the classic kōan collection, the Gateless Gate, inviting us into our own intimate encounter with Zen’s ancestors and our own personal experience of the great matter of life and death. Anyone interested in understanding what a kōan really is, how it can be used, and how it uses us, will be informed and enriched by this book. I highly recommend it.” —James Ishmael Ford, author of If You’re Lucky, Your Heart Will Break and co-editor of The Book of Mu: Essential Writings on Zen’s Most Important Koan “Guo Gu’s translation of The Gateless Barrier and his commentary reveal a fresh, eminently practical approach to the famous text. Reminding again and again that it is the reader’s own spiritual affairs to which each kōan points, Guo Gu writes with both broad erudition and the profound insight of a Chan practitioner; in this way he reveals himself to be a worthy inheritor of his late Master Sheng Yen’s teachings. Zen students, called upon to give life to these kōans within their own practice, will find Passing Through the Gateless Barrier a precious resource.” —Meido Moore Roshi, abbot of Korinji Zen Monastery “A fresh, original translation and commentary by a young Chinese teacher in the tradition of Sheng Yen.

  • Chan Buddhism in Ritual Context
    CHAN BUDDHISM IN RITUAL CONTEXT The essays in this volume attempt to place the Chan and Zen traditions in their ritual and cultural contexts, looking at various aspects heretofore largely (and unduly) ignored. In particular, they show the extent to which these traditions, despite their claim to uniqueness, were indebted to larger trends in East Asian Buddhism, such as the cults of icons, relics and the monastic robe. The book emphasises the importance of ritual for a proper understanding of this allegedly anti-ritualistic form of Buddhism. In doing so, it deconstructs the Chan/Zen ‘rhetoric of immediacy’ and its ideological underpinnings. Bernard Faure is George Edwin Burnell Professor of Religious Studies, Stanford University and Co-Director of the Stanford Center for Buddhist Studies. His publications include The Rhetoric of Immediacy: A Cultural Critique of Chan/Zen Buddhism (1991), Chan Insights and Oversights: A Phenomenological Critique of the Chan/Zen Tradition (1993); Visions of Power: Imagining Medieval Japanese Buddhism (1996); The Will to Orthodoxy: A Critical Genealogy of Northern Chan Buddhism (1997); The Red Thread: Buddhist Approaches to Sexuality and The Power of Denial: Buddhism, Purity and Gender (2003).
