  • On Lay Practice Within North American Soto Zen James Ishmael Ford 5 February 2018 Blue Cliff Zen Sangha Costa Mesa, California L
    On Lay Practice Within North American Soto Zen James Ishmael Ford 5 February 2018 Blue Cliff Zen Sangha Costa Mesa, California Last week I posted on my Monkey Mind blog an essay I titled Soto Zen Buddhism in North America: Some Random Notes From a Work in Progress. There I wrote, along with a couple of small digressions and additions I add for this talk: Probably the most important thing here (within our North American Zen and particularly our North American Soto Zen) has been the rise in the importance of lay practice. My sense is that the Japanese hierarchy pretty close to completely have missed this as something important. And, even within the convert Soto ordained community, a type of clericalism that is a sense that only clerical practice is important exists that has also blinded many to this reality. That reality is how Zen practice belongs to all of us, whatever our condition in life, whether ordained, or lay. Now, this clerical bias comes to us honestly enough. Zen within East Asia is project for the ordained only. But, while that is an historical fact, it is very much a problem here. Actually a profound problem here. Throughout Asia the disciplines of Zen have largely been the province of the ordained, whether traditional Vinaya monastics or Japanese and Korean non-celibate priests. This has been particularly so with Japanese Soto Zen, where the myth and history of Dharma transmission has been collapsed into the normative ordination model. Here I feel it needful to note this is not normative in any other Zen context.

  • Faith Leaders Call for a Standing Rock Lifeline, Not a Deadline
    Faith Leaders Call for a Standing Rock Lifeline, Not a Deadline December 5, 2016 We, the 1833 undersigned faith leaders, have come together from our diverse traditions to publicly declare our shared support of the Standing Rock Sioux Nation and their allied water protectors of Standing Rock. Recently, we have witnessed the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers and the Governor of North Dakota issue eviction orders for the largest water protector camp seeking to defend the Missouri River from the Dakota Access Pipeline. In response, Standing Rock Sioux Chairman Dave Archambault II has stated, “The most dangerous thing we can do is force well-situated campers from their shelters and into the cold." While there have been promises on the part of the government to not forcibly remove those in the camp, we are aware that state officials have announced an evolving series of statements about blockades and fines that have left in their wake an atmosphere of fear and intimidation surrounding the eviction deadline of December 5. In response to the government issued deadline, we as faith leaders call for a lifeline, a lifeline extended by President Obama through the act of denying the final permit necessary for the Dakota Access Pipeline to continue. In light of the November 20th attacks on the water protectors by law enforcement, no other act would do more to ensure public safety and well-being during the coming winter months. With the closing days of this administration, we cannot stand by idly as the water protectors face ongoing threats and more ominous prospects.

From the beginning, his nurturing presence has fueled the process of exploration, allowing me to follow my truth, rather than persuading me to support his.

The reason for this is simple: the West discovered Buddhism (and in fact all Eastern traditions) at a time when modern communications and transport effectively made the West a single entity. Previously, Buddhism (and all Eastern traditions) had developed in relative isolation from each other. In principle, there is no reason why we could not find every Buddhist tradition in Tokyo, or Bangkok. But we do not. And again the reason is simple: Eastern Buddhist traditions were not looking outside themselves for a different kind of Buddhism. The West, on the other hand, was prepared to try anything. So the West is the only "open" direction that Eastern traditions can take. But when they do, they are inevitably subjected to the Western way of doing things: crossing boundaries and redefining them.

With this smile he showed that he had understood the wordless essence of the dharma. Buddhism was introduced to China in the first century CE. He was the 28th Indian patriarch of Zen and the first Chinese patriarch. Buddhism was introduced in Japan in the 8th century CE during the Nara period and the Heian period — This recognition was granted. InEisai traveled to China, whereafter he studied Tendai for twenty years. Zen fit the way of life of the samurai : confronting death without fear, and acting in a spontaneous and intuitive way. During this period the Five Mountain System was established, which institutionalized an influential part of the Rinzai school. In the beginning of the Muromachi period the Gozan system was fully worked out. The Zen and Japanese Culture version contained five temples of both Kyoto and Kamakura. A second tier of the system consisted of Ten Temples. This system was extended throughout Japan, effectively giving control to the central government, which administered this system. Not all Rinzai Zen organisations were under such strict state control. The Rinka monasteries, which were primarily located in rural areas rather than cities, had a greater degree of independence. After a period of war Japan was re-united in the Azuchi—Momoyama period.
