  • 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.

  • RHETORIC: the Instrument of Mediation
    CHAPTER 5 RHETORIC: the instrument of mediation "Huang Po is such a grandmother that he utterly exhausted himself with your troubles!" said Ta-yu. "And now you come here asking whether you were at fault or not!" At these words, Lin-chi attained great enlightenment. "Ah," he cried, "there isn't so much to Huang Po's Buddha-dharmal" The Recorded Sayings of Lin-chi1 Ts'ui-feng asked: "What words does Huang Po use to instruct people?" "Huang Po has no words," said Lin-chi. The Recorded Sayings of Lin-chi1 Language plays a far greater role in the mind of a Zen master like Huang Po than that of an "instrument," a tool intentionally applied to the carrying out of particular purposes. Nevertheless, when language does function as an instrument in Zen, it is a tool of considerable power and precision. Indeed, in its "golden age" and today, Zen has been best known for its unique instrumental rhetoric, its own counterclaims notwithstanding. The "discourse of awakening" in Zen produces a kind of rhetoric very much unlike anything ever heard or read in East Asia or elsewhere, a way of speaking/writing that is distinctively "Zen." In this chapter we consider both the character of this rhetoric and the role it plays in the quest for "awakening." The first extract at the head of this chapter acknowledges the possibil- ity of a rhetorical impetus to awakening: "Lin-chi attained great enlight- enment," u\a\t these words" Given the principle of "no dependence on language" and the ubiquity of language critique in Zen, who would have thought that enlightenment might "originate dependent" upon "words," or that "words" might be the primary element structuring its 1 Sasaki, The Recorded Sayings of Lin-chi, p.

    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.

There has never been a Buddhist war. His many travels and his experiences in a Zen Buddhist monastery and as a member of the Amsterdam Special Constabulary "being a policeman in one's spare time" as he phrased it in his introduction to Outsider in Amsterdam lent authenticity to his works of fiction and nonfiction. Janwillem van de Wetering was particularly noted for his detective fiction , his most popular creations being Grijpstra and de Gier , a pair of Amsterdam police officers who figure in a lengthy series of novels and short stories. Most of the mysteries are rich with images from Amsterdam, where most of them take place; some also feature a cat: in earlier novels, one named Oliver; in later novels, a female named Tabriz. He also wrote stories for children and nonfiction works. He usually wrote in Dutch and then in English; the two versions often differ considerably. Adjutant-Detective Henk Grijpstra and Detective-Sergeant Rinus de Gier , along with their never-named elderly superior, the commissaris , are the most popular creations of Janwillem van de Wetering. They are police detectives in the Murder Brigade of the Amsterdam Municipal Police, and are featured in more than a dozen detective novels and several short stories published in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine and Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine. Grijpstra, heavy, middle-aged, and less-than-happily married, is the senior partner of the team.

Particularly influential were several books on Zen and Buddhism by Alan Watts. The Japanese secular bow is from the waist, with the head lowered. As a scientist, it's great to think about 'beginner's mind' in your work - like all models, the models we have built over the past , years of how reality works are all more-or-less wrong anyway, so it's great not to become bogged down in the 'expert's mind' where there are only few possibilities of outcomes.

Both philosophies account for a type of Cosmic Reality-- the divine nature at the center of all things and moments which can otherwise be referred to as God, buddha nature, the Tao, consciousness-- that can be realized with enough devout practice.
