The Experience of Knowing: Illusion and Illumination in the Zhuangzi and the Platform Sūtra THE EXPERIENCE OF KNOWING: ILLUSION AND ILLUMINATION IN THE ZHUANGZI AND THE PLATFORM SŪTRA by Wayne Gary Kreger B.A. Honours, The University of Saskatchewan, 2004 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULLFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Asian Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) July 2010 © Wayne Gary Kreger, 2010 ABSTRACT This paper aims to compare and contrast the concepts of “delusion” and “knowledge” as found in the Inner Chapters of the Zhuangzi and the Platform Sūtra. Employed in this analysis is the methodology of conceptual metaphor analysis, a method that identifies the source domain for metaphors employed in the dissemination of both doctrine and mystical experience. By acknowledging their metaphorical entailments, such metaphors can be used to more clearly elucidate the meaning of said disseminations. Ultimately I will argue that both works exhibit a similar conception of the afflictions of “non-enlightened” persons and the cognitive abilities of “enlightened” persons, though they arrive at different conclusions regarding the source of these abilities. Part one of this paper will introduce the methodology of conceptual metaphor analysis as developed by Lakoff and Johnson, and will illustrate the ways this methodology can serve the pursuit of studies in comparative religion. Following this background information relevant to the interpretation of both the Zhuangzi and the Platform Sūtra will be given. Part two investigates the metaphors and “realization” moments found in the Zhuangzi. Part three uses similar methodology to analyze the Platform Sūtra. The final part compares and contrasts the two works. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS

and encouragement of my entire family, especially my parents Gary and Mil, my grandmother Helen, and my aunt Gloria and uncle Greg. I am also grateful to the many excellent professors I have had over the course of my education, in particular my thesis committee. Finally, I owe a great deal to my friends and fellow students, especially my friend Matt Hamm, who provided help unceasingly throughout the entire course of my preparation and writing. iv I Introduction I.I Introduction The Zhuangzi makes extensive use of metaphors to convey a picture of reality distinct from that presented by other texts from the Warring States period. These metaphors give us a greater insight into what the author of the Inner Chapters of the Zhuangzi wanted to explain to his readers. The picture to be examined here is that of illusion and illumination; that is, wrong understandings of the world and correct ones. The Zhuangzi uses the metaphor of “dreaming” to indicate those who are wrong about the nature of reality, and employs metaphors of “mirrors” and “light” to give a picture, using optical meta­ phors, of what “seeing” reality is like. The text also presents us with fictionalized dialogues, which show the reader the process of going from not-knowing to knowing. As the first steps in a comparative project it is fruitful to examine parallel metaphors in the Platform Sūtra, a critical text in the Chan Buddhist tradition. This text employs the mirror and light metaphors when discussing the experience of knowing reality, and maintains one of the common metaphors in Buddhism for having understanding - awakening - while lacking the equivalent “dreaming” metaphor as found in the Zhuangzi. As well, the process in the Platform Sūtra is presented as much quicker than in the Daoist text. Using the tools of conceptual metaphor analysis, along with a close reading of the texts, one sees that the Zhuangzi and the Platform Sūtra are closely associated with one another, though with different approaches to illusion and illumination. I.II The Zhuangzi The Zhuangzi, when read in the context of its time, presents us with what was a shocking alternative to prevailing wisdom. The complex social negotiations and pageantry of Confucian ritual is, in the text, at best ignored and at worst deplored, and the revered sage Confucius becomes a puppet for 1 the author, praising the very people the followers of Confucius would condemn. The followers of Mozi, advocating for a society that relies on language to get clear about what is right and wrong, are explicitly singled out and their errors are identified, and their entire project is deemed untenable. While the Zhuangzi is often grouped with the Laozi as “Daoist” texts, elements of the former stand in stark contrast to the general message of the latter - that

  • 1 the 4 Discourses of the Dao: Zhuangzi Meets Lacan Shunyamurti
    The 4 Discourses of the Dao: Zhuangzi Meets Lacan Shunyamurti speaks: So tonight, let’s explore more deeply: how does a Taoist sage deal with the end of the world? And how does one relate to those who are either in denial or wanting to resist or trying to prematurely bring about a new age before the end of this one? The Taoist understands the order of things and what must be eliminated and cleansed before a new creation can take place, but that must happen microcosmically within the sage’s mind and heart. So in Song 5, that was sung very beautifully by the Daughters of Nothingness, Lao Tzu says: “For the Tao to function fully, both heaven and earth must separate from duality.” This is a very subtle point: heaven and earth seem to be two, but they’re not, they’re only one. So we have to understand the difference between a distinction and a duality. In the same way we can see two sides of a coin as actually being one: nirvana, samsara—heaven and earth—must be realized as a single whole. The sage doesn’t simply leave the world and enter into the transcendent Nothingness and have nothing to do with the samsara, but acts in the samsara, seeing it as nirvana, realizing its perfection, and not being fooled by the apparent events that are occurring in the simulation, but understanding their true significance. So heaven and earth are indifferent to each other because each is nondifferent from the One. The transcendent One is also the immanent One, but that One from which the world and the transcendent derive is present in each.

  • Is Freedom in Necessity Or in Happiness? Guo Xiang's and Lin Xiyi's Controversial Readings of Zhuangzi's »Free Rambling«
    Is Freedom in Necessity or in Happiness? Guo Xiang’s and Lin Xiyi’s Controversial Readings of Zhuangzi’s »Free Rambling« David Machek The opening of Zhuangzi 莊子1 is subject of a long and ongoing controversy in both Chinese and Western interpretive tradition.2 The most debated issue in this discussion is the nature of relationship between big things, as represented by a huge Peng bird, and small things, as embodied by a cicada and dove. This paper will work with two traditional Chinese commentaries on Zhuangzi that represent the earliest articulations of two opposing perspectives on this relationship, charting the battlefield for later interpreters.3 Since this study will confine itself solely to the commentaries on the first 1 As tradition has it, the author of Zhuangzi is the philosopher Zhuangzi who lived in the fourth century B.C. Today, scholars generally agree that the received and the only extant version of the text in the edition of Guo Xiang consists of several textual layers written in different times by different authors. For a detailed overview and discussion of the history of the text, see David Chai, Early Zhuangzi Commentaries (München: Verlag Dr. Müller, 2008). Nonetheless, the authorship of the first chapter is ascribed to Zhuangzi himself. 2 The most recent discussion of the controversy, as well as a critique of Guo Xiang’s reading was presented by Lian Xinda, »Zhuangzi the Poet: Re-Reading the Peng Bird Image«, Dao 8 (2009), 233– 254. The present study is much indebted to Lian Xinda’s article and endorses a great deal of his conclusions.

  • Zhuangzi, Perspectives, and Greater Knowledge*
    Zhuangzi, perspectives, and greater knowledge* Donald Sturgeon PhD candidate, University of Hong Kong Although the text of the Zhuangzi1 seems to present many prima facie skeptical arguments, there has been much debate as to the nature of its skeptical stance, and even whether or not its stance is substantively skeptical at all.2 Chad Hansen and Chris Fraser have argued that the Zhuangzi does take a substantively skeptical position, but that this position is more nuanced than simply holding skepticism about the possibility of all knowledge.3 This paper will attempt to build upon Chris Fraser’s proposal that the Zhuangzi is skeptical about our ability to know a privileged class of ultimately correct ways of drawing distinctions (果是 guo shi and 果非 guo fei), but does not question our ability to know how to distinguish things in an ordinary, provisional and commonsense sense. I will attempt to engage with both sides of the debate, by firstly accepting that the Zhuangzi takes a substantive skeptical stance, but also arguing that in doing so the text also provides a positive account of how to improve our epistemic position – an account which * Forthcoming in Philosophy East and West 65:3. 1 This paper will focus on knowledge and skepticism in the anthology known as the Zhuangzi, beginning with ideas presented most clearly in the Qiwulun chapter, but will also consider how these ideas cohere with those presented elsewhere in the anthology – including in passages that may be later additions to the text by one or more distinct authors or editors. Even where this is so, it still seems useful to ask how – if at all – these ideas fit together, and why they might have been collected together in such an anthology.

  • Painting Outside the Lines: How Daoism Shaped
    PAINTING OUTSIDE THE LINES: HOW DAOISM SHAPED CONCEPTIONS OF ARTISTIC EXCELLENCE IN MEDIEVAL CHINA, 800–1200 A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN RELIGION (ASIAN) AUGUST 2012 By Aaron Reich Thesis Committee: Poul Andersen, Chairperson James Frankel Kate Lingley Acknowledgements Though the work on this thesis was largely carried out between 2010–2012, my interest in the religious aspects of Chinese painting began several years prior. In the fall of 2007, my mentor Professor Poul Andersen introduced me to his research into the inspirational relationship between Daoist ritual and religious painting in the case of Wu Daozi, the most esteemed Tang dynasty painter of religious art. Taken by a newfound fascination with this topic, I began to explore the pioneering translations of Chinese painting texts for a graduate seminar on ritual theory, and in them I found a world of potential material ripe for analysis within the framework of religious studies. I devoted the following two years to intensive Chinese language study in Taiwan, where I had the fortuitous opportunity to make frequent visits to view the paintings on exhibit at the National Palace Museum in Taipei. Once I had acquired the ability to work through primary sources, I returned to Honolulu to continue my study of literary Chinese and begin my exploration into the texts that ultimately led to the central discoveries within this thesis. This work would not have been possible without the sincere care and unwavering support of the many individuals who helped me bring it to fruition.

  • Selections from the Zhuangzi: Chapter 3, "The Secret of Caring for Life"
    Primary Source Document with Questions (DBQs) S E L E C T I O N F R O M T H E Z H U A N G Z I : C H A P T E R 3 , “ T H E S E C R E T O F C A R I N G F O R L I F E ” Introduction Zhuangzi (also called Zhuang Zhou) was an historically verifiable man who lived somewhere around 360-280 BCE. The long book that bears his name is a combination of material that represents his own thinking and of other writings incorporated by various compilers and editors. Like Confucius, Mencius, Han Fei and others, Zhuangzi lived during the time when the kings of the Zhou dynasty had little real power and the kingdom had disintegrated into feudal states that were constantly at war with each other in shifting patterns of alliances and enmities. During the Warring States period (480-221 BCE), Zhuangzi and Laozi were not considered to be part of a single school of thought. Zhuangzi is more concerned with escaping from the world; Laozi, with cunning ways of ruling it. During the Han dynasty, both works’ concern with the Dao (the “Way” of Heaven) and their mystical understanding of that term inspired historians to lump them together under the single category of “Daoism.” The name stuck. Zhuangzi and Laozi are now forever linked as the two great progenitors of Daoist philosophy and religion. Selected Document Excerpt with Questions From Sources of Chinese Tradition, compiled by Wm.

  • Wittgenstein, Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu: the Art of Circumlocution
    Asian Philosophy Vol. 17, No. 1, March 2007, pp. 97–108 Wittgenstein, Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu: The Art of Circumlocution Robert Elliott Allinson Where Western philosophy ends, with the limits of language, marks the beginning of Eastern philosophy. The Tao de jing of Laozi begins with the limitations of language and then proceeds from that as a starting point. On the other hand, the limitation of language marks the end of Wittgenstein’s cogitations. In contrast to Wittgenstein, who thought that one should remain silent about that which cannot be put into words, the message of the Zhuangzi is that one can speak about that which cannot put into words but the speech will be strange and indirect. Through the focus on the monstrous character, No-Lips in the Zhuangzi, this paper argues that a key message of the Zhuangzi is that the art of transcending language in the Zhuangzi is through the use of crippled speech. The metaphor of crippled speech, speech which is actually unheard, illustrates that philosophical truths cannot be put into words but can be indirectly signified through the art of stretching language beyond its normal contours. This allows Eastern philosophy, through the philosophy of the Zhuangzi to transcend the limits of language. The ending of Wittgenstein’s Tractatus is well known. Wovon mann kann nicht sprechen, darauf er muss schweigen. That of which man cannot speak, of that he should be silent. This marks the end of 20th century Western philosophy. Western philosophy can only go as far as the limits of language, not beyond.

  • The Philosophy of Zhuangzi and the Commentatorial Tradition of Guo Xiang
    THE PHILOSOPHY OF ZHUANGZI AND THE COMMENTATORIAL TRADITION OF GUO XIANG Desislava Damyanova Guo Xiang (also known as Kuo Hsiang or Zixuan) is the author of the most important commentary on Zhuangzi – one of the classical Daoist texts.1 He is also known as the person who implemented the current arrangement of thirty-three chapters divided into inner, outer and miscellaneous sections. Although Guo’s initial aim might have been to elucidate the ideas in the original text, his commentary on Zhuangzi represents a substantial philosophical achievement compared to the core text. It contains many original ideas and we shall examine the textual issues on which he is commenting in a try to get a deeper insight into their meaning. Guo Xiang2 practiced his philosophical pursuits this way – within the framework of the Daoist classic – and his manner has served as a blueprint for the later Neo-Confucian synthesis of the Chinese thought. 1 There is some controversy in the recent years over the true authorship of Guo’s commentary - the earliest source, the Jin Shu (Standard History of the Jin Dynasty), accuses Guo Xiang of plagiarizing all but two chapters of the commentary from Xiang Xiu (d. 300 CE, writing a generation earlier). “Current scholarship, while acknowledging that Guo made use of Xiang Xiu’s work and other earlier commentaries, still credits Guo as the principal author. The evidence for this recognition falls into three main areas. Firstly, the most innovative philosophical features in the commentary do not correspond with those in other works by Xiang Xiu. Secondly, in the early twentieth century, a postface to the commentary was discovered which details the work Guo carried out and finally, various linguistic analyses and references in other works suggest that Guo is the principal author.” <http://www.iep.utm.edu/guoxiang/>10.10.2012 2 Actually very little is known about the life of Guo Xiang: he lived in a time of great political upheaval and his own career was one of consistent and significant success.

  • Ziran: Authenticity Or Authority?
    religions Article Ziran: Authenticity or Authority? Misha Tadd Institute of Philosophy, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, 5 Jianguo Inner St., Dongcheng District, Beijing 100022, China; [email protected] Received: 26 December 2018; Accepted: 14 March 2019; Published: 18 March 2019 Abstract: This essay explores the core Daoist concept of ziran (commonly translated as spontaneity, naturalness, or self-so) and its relationship to authenticity and authority. Modern scholarship has often followed the interpretation of Guo Xiang (d. 312) in taking ziran as spontaneous individual authenticity completely unreliant on any external authority. This form of Daoism emphasizes natural transformations and egalitarian society. Here, the author draws on Heshanggong’s Commentary on the Daodejing to reveal a drastically dissimilar ziran conception based on the authority of the transcendent Way. The logic of this contrasting view of classical Daoism results not only in a vision of hierarchical society, but one where the ultimate state of human ziran becomes immortality. Expanding our sense of the Daodejing, this cosmology of authority helps unearths greater continuity of the text with Daoism’s later religious forms. Keywords: Heshanggong; Guo Xiang; ziran; authenticity; authority; transcendence; hierarchy; immortality 1. Introduction Ziran stands as one of the key pillars of Daoist philosophy, and, following the immensely influential theory of Guo Xiang (d. 312), has, in modern times, mostly been viewed as the spontaneous and natural “authenticity”

  • A Reconstruction of Zhuangzi's Philosophy on Transcendence
    religions Article The Big and the Great: A Reconstruction of Zhuangzi’s Philosophy on Transcendence Limei Jiang Center of Value & Culture, School of Philosophy, Beijing Normal University, Beijing 100875, China; [email protected] Received: 29 November 2018; Accepted: 25 December 2018; Published: 4 January 2019 Abstract: This essay attempts to demonstrate the logic of Zhuangzi in his different attitudes toward “debate on big and small” by bringing into discussion the two versions of translation in the English languages, which provide a new approach to analyze the difference in the controversial commentaries on Zhuangzi. This essay points out that the ideal of “free and easy wandering” is a type of positive pleasure. By means of rational thinking and imagination, one’s searching for the external values is turned into the internal pursuit for wisdom in the transformation of things. Zhuangzi’s theory of transcendence not only provides the subject with multi-perspectives, but also substitutes the self-identity with self-value. Through the interaction between self-awareness and self-reaction, the subject can be unified with the great Dao through purposive activities. However, Guo Xiang’s commentary cancels the necessity of self-cultivation and negates the purposefulness of the subject, which underestimates the value of Zhuangzi’s construction of transcendence. Keywords: positive pleasure; purposiveness; self-awareness; self-reflection; no-self 1. Introduction The “debate on big and small” (xiaoda zhi bian小'K¨) was raised in the first chapter, Free and Easy Wandering (xiaoyaoyou逍e8), of the Zhuangzi. It is also discussed in other chapters such as On Making Things Fit Together (qiwulunPiº) and Autumn Waters (qiushuiË4).

  • The Human and the Inhuman: Ethics and Religion in the Zhuangzi
    bs_bs_banner ERIC S. NELSON THE HUMAN AND THE INHUMAN: ETHICS AND RELIGION IN THE ZHUANGZI Abstract One critique of the early Daoist texts associated with Laozi and Zhuangzi is that they neglect the human and lack a proper sense of ethical personhood in maintaining the primacy of an impersonal dehumanizing “way.” This article offers a reconsideration of the appropriateness of such negative evaluations by exploring whether and to what extent the ethical sensibility unfolded in the Zhuangzi is aporetic, naturalistic, and/or religious. As an ethos of cultivating life and free and easy wandering by performatively enacting openness and responsiveness to things in an immanent this-worldly context, the Zhuangzi is oriented toward the relational attunement of disposition and practice rather than toward metaphysics or religion in a transcendent sense. It consequently suggests an immanent anarchic ethics without principles while neither forgetting nor reifying the sacred and the mundane in its playful illumination of the biospiritual dynamics of cultivating life. I. INTRODUCTION One reading of the texts associated with the names Laozi 老子 and Zhuangzi 莊子 is that they ignore the properly human and ethical in upholding the supremacy of an indifferent,1 impersonal, and fatalis- tic dao.2 Such concerns are formulated in the “Confucian” (ru 儒) tradition, for example by Xunzi 荀子, and remain prominent among both contemporary religious and secular personalist critics of early Daoism who argue that it lacks an appropriate conception of ethical personhood and moral agency. Early Daoist language appears paradoxically both impersonal and individualistic in how it depicts the sage as differentiated from ERIC S.
