  • A Critical Survey of Works on Zen Since Yampolsky
    FEATURE REVIEW A Critical Survey of Works on Zen since Yampolsky Steven Heine Florida International University Introduction: 1967—A Very Good Year The year 1967 was indeed a very good year in the development of Zen Buddhist studies on both sides of the Pacific, as evidenced by the publication of two monu- mental works that forever changed the course of scholarly approaches to the history of Zen. In Japan, Yanagida Seizan issued what has remained the single most impor- tant book on the formation of early Zen writings in China, cast in a social-historical context, Shoki Zenshu¯ shisho no kenkyu¯ (Study of the historical writings of the early Chan school). This work lifted studies by Japanese scholars out of the traditional sec- tarian approach to Zen scholarship and into the arena of contemporary critical theo- retical studies by challenging many of the myths and fabrications as well as high- lighting the sheer creativity and inventiveness that characterized the self-definitions of the early Zen school. Meanwhile, in America, Philip Yampolsky, who worked with Yanagida on translation projects—and, along with his Japanese colleague as well as Masatoshi Nagatomi and Stanley Weinstein, among others, helped train a generation of Western scholars—produced a translation with a substantial historical introduction and handy bilingual critical edition of one of the main Zen texts, the Platform Sutra by sixth patriarch Hui-neng. While by no means the first solid Western piece of academic work on Zen in an era still dominated by the popular writings of D. T. Suzuki, Alan Watts, and Eugen Herrigel, as well as European scholarship by Demie´ville, Gernet, and Zu¨rcher, Yampolsky set a new standard for what a translation and book-length study in the field should accomplish.

  • Horton, Sarah
    i66 | Japanese Journal of Religious Studies 30/1-2 (2003) Wm. Theodore deBary et al., comps., Sources of Japanese Tradition, Volume One Second edition. New York: Columbia University Press, 2001. x x v i + 524 pp. $41.50 cloth, is b n 0-231-12138-5. I a m a f a n o f Volume One of Sources of Japanese Tradition and use it for introduc­ tory classes in Japanese and East Asian religions. The main attraction of the book is its wide variety of primary source translations. Although Sources of Japanese Tradition was not intended to serve as a textbook for Religious Studies, little in premodern Japan was not affected in one way or another by what we now call religion. The recently published second edition marks a significant improvement, primarily through the addition of new material. In fact, Volume One now ends in the 1500s, whereas the first edition continued to the early 1800s. Presumably the missing years will be included in Volume Two of a new edition. Major additions include translations of norito in the Shinto chapter; substantial material by the Chinese Tiantai masters Guanding, Huisi, and Zhiyi, provided as background to Japanese Tendai; pieces by Rennyo and Ippen in the Pure Land chapter; setsuwa in various chapters; and writings on the tea ceremony in a chapter on Japanese aesthetics. The new edition also offers entirely new chapters, including “New Views of H is to ry ，，，with pieces from the Eiga mono gatari, Okagami, and Gukansho; “The Way of the W a rrio r，，’ containing excerpts from the Hogen, Heiji, and Heike monogatari; and “Women’s E d u c a tio n ，，’ including parts of Minamoto Tamenori’s Sanboe, as well as writings by Keisei and Muju Ichien.

  • Yanagida Seizan's Lesson
    Yanagida Seizan’s Lesson Bernard FAURE, Columbia University I met Prof. Yanagida Seizan in the fall of 1976, just after I had arrived in Japan on a Monbushō scholarship, and I worked under his guidance until 1983, by which time I left Kyoto to take up a position at Cornell University. The first thing I remember is his telling me that Prof. Paul Demiéville, with whom I had hoped to study after returning to France, and whose writings on Chan texts from Dunhuang and on the Chan master Linji Yixuan 臨済義玄 (Rinzai Gigen) had introduced me to Prof. Yanagida’s work, had just passed away. For the next few years, I attended Prof. Yanagida’s courses at Kyoto University and Hanazono College, and his seminars at the Jinbun Kagaku kenkyûjo. But most importantly, I visited him weekly in his office, and these visits nurtured and greatly stimulated my nascent research. From 1976 to 1978, together with Carl Bielefeldt, who had recently joined us from Berkeley University, we read the “Chinese” Shōbōgenzō 正法眼蔵, a collection of some three-hundred kōan compiled by Dōgen 道元. Walking through the labyrinth of the Shōbōgenzō with such a guide was a wonderful experience. Later on, however, inspired by his lectures on Heze Shenhui 荷沢神 会 (Kataku Jinne) and by his writings on early Chan, I embarked on a study of Northern Chan that was to become my doctoral dissertation. Prof. Yanagida’s classes at Kyoto University were attended mainly by Kyodai students and by a handful of foreign students, among whom Carl Bielefeldt, William Powell, Kuo Liying, and Mark Blum.

  • The Sutra of Hui-Neng
    The Sutra of Hui-neng (the sutra spoken by the Sixth Patriarch) (unedited seminar transcript) Held at the Old Rectory (later known as Abhirati), Tittleshall, Norfolk, in March 1974. Present: Sangharakshita, Buddhadasa, Chintamani, Devamitra, Gotami, Man- gala, Hridaya, Ratnapani, Subhuti, Sulocana, John Hunter, Wolf Pilchick. Unfortunately this was a very poor recording and much of the material was indecipherable. “double quotation marks” indicate passages from the text itself. The first edition of the text under discussion (see below) is out of copyright and this older edition is available at www.sacred-texts.com/bud/bb/ [1] S: Altogether there are four translations available of the sutra. First of all there is one by Wong Mou-lam which was the first in various editions; then there is one by the Chinese scholar Wing-Tsit Chan [The Platform Scripture, New York, 1963, tr.], one by Charles Luk [Ch’an and Zen Teaching, third series, London 1962, tr.], and another by Philip Yampolsky [Yampolsky, The Platform Sutra of the Sixth Patriarch, New York and London 1967, tr.]. So altogether we’ve got these four versions, but it seems that Wong Mou-lam in his various editions has stood the test of time, and that’s the one that we are going to use, the one that’s in ‘A Buddhist Bible’ [ed. Dwight Goddard, London 1956]. Altogether there are nine chapters, but before we begin on the sutra, we shall go through Yampolsky’s ‘Content Analysis’, which will give us a sort of birds-eye view of the subject matter of the whole text.

    Music and media in the Dutch East Indies: Gramophone records and radio in the late colonial era, 1903-1942 Philip Bradford Yampolsky A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2013 Reading Committee: Philip D. Schuyler, Chair Ter Ellingson Laurie J. Sears Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Music © 2013 Philip Bradford Yampolsky University of Washington Abstract Music and media in the Dutch East Indies: Gramophone records and radio in the late colonial era, 1903-1942 Philip Bradford Yampolsky Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Associate Professor Emeritus Philip D. Schuyler Music This dissertation is intended as an ethnomusicological contribution to the history of music and media in Indonesia. It deals with topics and resources that have never been systematically examined for this region: gramophone records and radio broadcasting from the years before World War II, the last years of Dutch colonial control. The gramophone records are our only documentation of the sound of Indonesian music in the years before World War II. This dissertation tries to identify (and to some extent provide) the information one needs in order to understand the records and, by extension, stylistic trends during the pre-war period. Ultimately it is meant as an argument for the importance of making use of historical recordings and discography in ethnomusicology. The use of gramophone records from before World War II (“78s”) in musicology and ethnomusicology is growing. Robert
