  • 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.

  • Parergonality in Zen Buddhism and Non-Idiomatic Improvisation
    DHARMA NOISE: PARERGONALITY IN ZEN BUDDHISM AND NON-IDIOMATIC IMPROVISATION DANIEL PAUL SCHNEE A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO MARCH2013 © Daniel Paul Schnee, 2013 ABSTRACT 11 The objective of this dissertation is to explore philosophical and practical approaches to the study of improvisation in relation to Japanese Zen Buddhist doctrine and aesthetics. It specifically asks whether free form (non-idiomatic) improvisation can be practiced, and Zen Buddhism's efficacy in establishing a structured regimen for technical study on a musical instrument. In order to complete this research objective, the historical development of Zen Buddhist doctrine and aesthetics is investigated and shown to be a non-unified rubric. Using the concept of the parergon, it is then demonstrated that practicing is an appropriate activity for improvisation when supplemented by the kata forms of Zen-influenced Japanese arts. The result of such supplementation in .this case takes the form of a series of original chromatic exercises developed as a paradigm that itself acts as a supplement to improvisation. The establishment of such a regimen also suggests further research into the topic of pedagogy and Shintoism as an aesthetic or theological supplement, as well as gender issues in creative perfonnance. 11l TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract 11 Table of Contents 111 1.

  • Letting Go: the Story of Zen Master Tōsui
    Haskel Buddhism LETTINGLETTING GOGO Of the many eccentric figures in Japanese Zen, the Sòtò Zen master Tòsui Unkei (d. 1683) is surely among the most colorful and extreme.Variously LETTING GO: compared to Ryòkan and Francis of Assisi,Tòsui has been called “the original The Story of Zen Master Tòsui hippie.” After many grueling years of Zen study and the sanction of a distin- guished teacher,Tòsui abandoned the religious establishment and disappeared into the towns and cities of Japan. He became a loner, a drifter who valued untrammeled freedom above all else and who, even in old age, fought stub- bornly to shed all constraints—material, personal, and institutional. The arresting details of Tòsui’s life were recorded in the Tr ibute (Tòsui oshò densan), a lively and colloquial account written by the celebrated scholar and Sòtò Zen master Menzan Zuihò. Menzan concentrates on Tòsui’s years as a beggar and laborer, recounting episodes from an unorthodox life while at the same time opening a new window on seventeenth-century Japan.The Tr ibute is translated here for the first time, accompanied by woodblock prints com- missioned for the original 1768 edition. Peter Haskel’s substantial introduc- tion places Tòsui in the context of the Japanese Zen of his period—a time Tòsui The Story of Zen Master when the identities of early modern Zen schools were still being formed and a period of spiritual crisis for many distinguished monks who believed that the authentic Zen transmission had long ceased to exist.A biographical addendum offers a detailed overview of Tòsui’s life in light of surviving pre- modern sources.
