  • Seeking Cultural Originality a Critical Study on Contemporary Product Design in China
    SEEKING CULTURAL ORIGINALITY A CRITICAL STUDY ON CONTEMPORARY PRODUCT DESIGN IN CHINA Peipei Yu A thesis submitted in part fulfilment of the requirements of Birmingham City University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2018 Faculty of Arts, Design and Media, Birmingham City University 1 Abstract The intention of this thesis is to explore, by a critical perspective, the originality of product design in China, along with the expression of Chinese cultural values in product design in the contemporary international arena. Starting from literature reviews of design in China, this research focuses on both historical and cultural aspects of product evolution. It will take into account the indigenous innovation phenomenon – ‘shanzhai’ and ‘Chineseness’ in order to pursue a comprehensive understanding of the origin of product design and innovation trends in a contemporary context. Also, interview data from senior designers and professors from various design institutions and companies in China has been elicited in order to understand different perspectives. IKEA and MUJI have been selected as the main case examples to demonstrate their design principles, brand loyalty and cultural impact, based upon their experiences in transcending national borders through global policies. Xiaomi has also been used as a case study to support the study of Shanzhai phenomenon, while the case study on PINWU and SHANGXIA has also been conducted to study the current interpretation of contemporary Chinese product design in China. Furthermore, there will be interpretation of their brand management, marketing strategies and brand philosophies as case examples, which may indicate new directions for design in China. Ongoing, extensive literature searches and data analysis have revealed significant relationships between design, creativity, culture, branding and marketing.

Fifty-three talks were given at the Sheng Yen Lecture Hall (located in the official residence where Master Sheng Yen lived in his final years). The talks were titled A Living Example, Countless Teachings— Encounters with Master Sheng Yen and we invited all his monastic and lay disciples to share with us their stories about Shifu, how he taught them through his living example and words. Listening to these speakers’ personal accounts of the interactions between teacher and student allowed the audience to commemorate Master Sheng Yen’s journey, and once again hear his gracious teachings. The talks include stories of Master Sheng Yen’s everyday life, how he would give detailed guidance to his disciples regarding their speech and actions. There are also accounts of his travels to share the Buddhadharma locally and overseas, reaching out to the public, and teaching them skillfully and flexibly based on the existing circumstances.

  • 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.

    INTENSIVE CHAN MEDITATION RETREAT led by VEN. CHI CHERN FASHI July 25 { August 22, 2020; Dluzew, Poland A 28-day Chan meditation retreat, led by Ven. Chi Chern Fashi, will take place in July and August 2020, at the Plein-air House of the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts in Dluzew, Poland. The retreat will begin with a Dharma talk by the Master at 7 pm on July 25 (Saturday) and will end at 10 am on August 22 (Saturday). The Master will be accompanied by a teacher Ven. Guo Yuan Fashi. The prerequisites for acceptance to the retreat are at least 6 months of experience in Buddhist meditation practice and participation in at least one intensive (i.e. at least 5-day) retreat. It is possible to participate in 7, 14, 21 or 28 days of the retreat, providing one begins on July 25. Chi Chern Fashi Ven. Chi Chern Fashi Ordained by Master Zhu Mo in Penang, Malaysia, Chi Chern Fashi studied at the Fo Guang Buddhist College in Taiwan. Following two seven-day retreats with Chan Master Sheng Yen (Shifu) in 1980, a period of fasting at the Institute of Buddhist Culture (Wen Hua Guan) led to a profound experience that he describes as being like \a stroke of lightning in a dark night, [giving him] a glimpse of the path and destination." With Shifu's confirmation, he returned to Malaysia to teach meditation. He received Dharma transmission from Chan Master Sheng Yen in 1986. Chi Chern Fashi is currently the principal of the Malaysian Buddhist Institute, and is one of the most 1 respected meditation teachers in Malaysia and Singapore.

  • Lineage in Texts and Art of the Dali Kingdom (937–1253) Megan Bryson University of Tennessee
    Southwestern Chan: Lineage in Texts and Art of the Dali Kingdom (937–1253) Megan Bryson University of Tennessee In the 1990s John McRae’s research took him to the Dali region of Yunnan Province in China’s deep southwest. What initially drew him there was a portrait of Shenhui 神會 (684–758) in the 1170s Fanxiang juan 梵像卷 (Roll of Buddhist Images), the masterpiece of Dali-kingdom Buddhist art containing images of rulers, arhats, familiar buddhas and bodhisattvas, and wrathful-looking dharma guardians. Shenhui ap- pears in a Chan lineage that extends from Śākyamuni to Indian patri- archs, through the standard six Chinese patriarchs, and finally to fig- ures tied to Sichuan and Yunnan. His inclusion in this lineage, and the inclusion of the Chan lineage in the larger work, raise questions about how Dali-kingdom Buddhists understood Shenhui and the Chan lin- eage to which he belonged. Unfortunately, McRae only published two short articles on this image of Shenhui that came out long before more sources about Dali-kingdom Buddhism became available. Additional textual sources and better understandings of Dali history now allow us to locate Shenhui’s image more precisely within its larger religious landscape. In this paper I use funerary inscriptions from the Dali kingdom and the sequence of Chan patriarchs in the Fanxiang juan to argue that Shenhui’s image represented dominant trends in Dali-kingdom Chan, which largely came from Sichuan and favored the works of Zongmi. Moreover, I suggest that while Shenhui—and the entire Chan lineage— in the Fanxiang juan was meant to legitimate the Buddhist tradition of the Dali kingdom as a whole, Chan lineages also served as proxies for the ruling Duan kings and the more powerful prime ministers of the Gao clan, who by the twelfth century wielded the real political influence and regularly intermarried with the Duan family.

    SPRING 2017 n Chan practice one must guard against setting one’s mind on seeking Ior anticipating enlightenment. Seeking enlightenment, one will not attain it; anticipating enlightenment, one is merely lost and confused. Seeking and anticipating are delusions, attachments, entanglements, and clinging. Therefore, while true Chan practitioners are aware of enlightenment, they do not covet it as the goal of practice. The thought of being enlightened is appropriate before one begins practicing, but during the course of practice, one must let go of this thought in order to practice well.
