Buddhism Within the Philosophies of Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and Elihu Palmer DHARMA OF THE FOUNDERS: BUDDHISM WITHIN THE PHILOSOPHIES OF BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, THOMAS JEFFERSON, AND ELIHU PALMER A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of The School of Continuing Studies and of The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Arts in Liberal Studies By Ryan N. Aponte, B.A. Georgetown University Washington, D.C. November 3, 2012 Copyright 2012 by Ryan N. Aponte All Rights Reserved ii DHARMA OF THE FOUNDERS: BUDDHISM WITHIN THE PHILOSOPHIES OF BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, THOMAS JEFFERSON, AND ELIHU PALMER Ryan N. Aponte, B.A. Mentor: Charles E. Yonkers, J.D. ABSTRACT Scholars have long recognized the significance of the Founding Fathers’ religious views and the teachings Buddhism, but never have they provided a comprehensive comparison. While some scholars continue to label these pivotal figures as fervent Christians, a more prevalent reflection is to assert the influence of deist and Enlightenment philosophy. However, such dichotomy fails to examine the Founders outside their assessment of Christianity. The interest in and connection with Eastern religions has been established among prominent Hellenistic and Enlightenment philosophers, yet such parallels have not been elaborated upon regarding the Founders they impacted. Buddhist literature often analyzes the affinity of the Dharma with the American intellectual landscape, but also provides insufficient reflection upon the figures so influential within the latter’s development. With modern emphasis on religious pluralism, questions emerge regarding the universality of the Founders’ philosophies. Essentially, this thesis argues that there is a strong connection between the Founders’ philosophies, fundamental American ideals, and Eastern religious traditions. Analysis of the foundations and philosophies of Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and Elihu Palmer demonstrates their deviation from contemporary Christianity and correlation to Buddhism. Since the Founders regarded religion as a confidential matter, personal correspondence and private reflection establish parallels iii with the Dharma. Any additional articles or publications provide supplementary insight into their individual sentiments. Of particular emphasis were the Founders’ views of God, Jesus Christ, the Bible, institutionalized religion, morality, suffering, impermanence, immortality, and death. Each reveals that both the Dharma and the Founders revered universal liberty, individual equality, social responsibility, interdependence, pragmatism, simplicity, tranquility, and the cultivation of happiness. In addition, they also denounced mysticism, supernaturalism, dogmatism, revelation, and predestination. Ultimately, analysis demonstrates that Franklin, Jefferson, and Palmer followed a precedent established by ancient and Enlightenment intellectuals in which they cultivated interests in Eastern traditions and established parallels with Buddhist philosophy. iv PREFACE While analysis of the Founding Fathers has always held a firm grasp upon the interests of Americans, Buddhism has garnered increasingly significant consideration within the scholarly community and popular consciousness. As a student of both United States history and Eastern philosophy, the scope of the subsequent analysis arose from my own personal experience. I was first introduced to Buddhist literature and the story of Siddhārtha Gautama as an adolescent. I found myself immediately captivated and came to recognize the importance of the Dharma, which denominates an encapsulation of the teachings of the historical Buddha, the principles of the universe, and the conditions of existence. I continued such passions while earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in History at Davidson College, enrolling in nearly every course regarding Eastern philosophy. After beginning my professional career teaching about the early American republic, I focused much of my graduate study on the political, social, and cultural environment surrounding the Founding Fathers. Within one such course, I set out to research the religious philosophies of Thomas Jefferson and was astonished by the results. I found that Jefferson’s reconceptualization of Christianity and incorporation of deist and Enlightenment thought produced innumerable parallels with the teachings of Buddhism. Upon completing my research regarding Jefferson, I further inquired into the beliefs of Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Thomas Paine, and Elihu Palmer. Although not commonly recognized, Palmer was the champion of American deism and had a profound impact on the religious landscape of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Ultimately, I found that the more I read the writings of these Founders, the more I recognized the Dharma. v The subsequent analysis focuses particularly upon the figures of Franklin, Jefferson, and Palmer. While consideration was originally given to Adams and Paine, both presented certain difficulties. Adams ultimately shared many of the same philosophies as Jefferson and was outspoken in his appreciation for the cultures and religions of Asia. However, remnants of the pessimism and supernaturalism ingrained through his Calvinist upbringing were quite divergent from Buddhism. Although Paine also demonstrated some fundamental similarities with Asian religions, he failed to provide a comprehensive philosophy. Focused more on obliterating contemporary institutions, Paine was also far more caustic than the sentiments found within Eastern thought. Therefore, the writings of Franklin, Jefferson, and Palmer provided the foundation of the forthcoming analysis. Despite their applicability, each Founder implemented also presented some challenges. Since none of the Founders provided a systematic theology, evidence of their religious philosophies is dispersed within innumerable writings and correspondence. Having received fervent condemnation from his only extensive publication Notes on the State of Virginia, Jefferson shared his views with a limited selection of family and friends. Franklin similarly recognized the potential backlash regarding publication and often implemented pseudonyms. As he sought to mask his views within his countless writings, Franklin’s religious philosophies remain elusive. Despite his significance within early American religion, Palmer proved the most difficult of the Founders. By far the youngest of the trio, he gained prominence only after the developments surrounding the American Revolution and Constitutional Convention. Due to such circumstances, as well as the controversial nature of his vi publications, the majority of Palmer’s writings were not well preserved and only a limited few have survived. Therefore, analysis of Palmer focuses on his pinnacle treatise Principles of Nature. In addition to issues regarding the nature or accessibility of their writings, many of the Founders deviated throughout segments or extended periods of their lives. The sentiments that emerged within their adolescence and early adulthood might transform as they became public figures or as they declined in age and reflected upon death. Ultimately, what the Founders professed in one moment could transform in the next. While the philosophies of many schools may be applied, emphasis has been placed upon the teachings of Mahāyāna Buddhism and particularly the Japanese lineages of Zen. Practically speaking, many other schools include certain traditions or practices that are far less applicable. For instance, the naturalistic, pragmatic, and anti- ecclesiastical Founders would denounce the implementation of mysticism, supernaturalism, and guru devotion within Tibetan Buddhism. In addition, the adherence to monasticism and emphasis upon personal liberation within schools of Theravāda Buddhism would contradict the Founders’ belief in universal freedom and social consciousness. The teachings of Zen have also been recognized for their affinity with the fundamental intellectual currents of American thought. In order to accurately reflect such parallels, I implemented many of the most influential figures in expanding the Dharma within the United States. Of particular significance were the endeavors and writings of Japanese Zen teachers Soyen Shaku, Nyogen Senzaki, Shigetsu Sasaki, D.T. Suzuki, and Shunryu Suzuki. In addition to authoring many of the most influential Buddhist publications, these early pioneers also established immensely successful vii centers and organizations. Another pivotal individual was the Vietnamese Zen monk Thich Nhat Hanh, who has emerged as one of the most widely read Buddhist authors throughout the West. While such monumental figures provide the foundation for the subsequent analysis, broader scholarly works are also implemented, especially when specific parallels with the Founders can be recognized throughout many schools of Buddhism. Reflecting upon the journey undertaken, I would be remiss not to recognize the people and institutions that have aided in the completion of this work. Professor Charles E. Yonkers was most gracious in providing invaluable support and advice during the entirety of the process. In addition, Professor James H. Hershman, Jr. provided momentum during the initial conceptualization of the scope of this analysis. I have also been indebted to the literature surrounding the Founding Fathers, as well as the history and teachings of Buddhism. Emphasis should be placed upon those scholars who provided guidance and insight into my inquiries, specifically Donald McCown, Harry Oldmeadow, Stephen Batchelor,

The story is about water and the people in Hell Although they have water, the people in hell cannot drink it because the water burns like fire or it looks like blood, so they cannot drink it.

  • A Short Talk During Zazen
    A Short Talk During Zazen Shunryu Suzuki Roshi (Presented during zazen on the moming of June 28, 1970, between the tenth and eleventh Sandokai lectures) YouSHOULD SIT WITH YOUR WHOLE BODY: your spine, mouth, toes, mudra. l Check on your posture during zazen. Each part of your body should practice zazen independently or separately: Your toes should prac­ tice zazen independently, your mudra should practice zazen independently, and your spine and your mouth should practice zazen independently. You should feel each part of your body doing zazen independently. Each part of your body should participate completely in zazen. Check to see that each part of your body is doing zazen independently- this is also known as shiknntaza. To think, "I am doing zazen" or "my body is doing zazen" is wrong understanding. It is a self-centered idea. The mudra is especially important. You should not feel as if you are resting your mudra on the heel of your foot for your own convenience. Your mudra should be placed in its own position. Don't move your legs for your own convenience. Your legs are practic­ ing their own zazen independently and are com pletely involved in their own pain. They are doing zazen through pain. You should all ow them to practice their own zazen. If you think you are practicing zazen, you are involved in some selfish, egotistical idea. If you think that you have a difficulty in some part of your body, then the rest of the body should help the part that is in difficulty. You are not having difficulty with some part of your body, but the part of the body is having difficulty: for example, your mudra is having difficulty.

Tobias Heinrich New College, University of Oxford Friedrich Schlichtegroll’s Nekrolog. Enlightenment Biography.1 Let the dead bury the dead. We want to see the deceased as living beings, to rejoice in their lives, including their lives as they continue after their demise, and for this same reason we gratefully record their enduring contribution for posterity.2 It is with these words that Johann Gottfried Herder (1744-1803), theorist of Weimar Classicism and progenitor of Cultural Studies [Kulturwissenschaften], commences his critical review of Friedrich Schlichtegroll’s Nekrolog, an annual collection of biographies on the lives of exceptional people recently deceased. The review, part of Herder’s Briefe zu Beförderung der Humanität [Letters for the Advancement of Humanity] (1792-1797), outlines how the biographer’s task may be understood as an intrinsically political activity, particularly when it comes to collective rather than singular narratives, which were the dominant form of biographical discourse in eighteenth-century Germany.3 However, Herder’s incitation is aimed less at future biographers than at their readers. Instead of seeing obituaries as a passive act of mourning, he envisions a form of public memory that regards the lives of the departed as an inspiration for a better future: ‘They are not dead, our benefactors and friends: for their souls, their contributions to the human race, their memories live on.’4 Herder conceives of humanity [Humanität] as a communal pursuit, aimed at the development of the potential inherent in humankind.

During those years a large number of people came to practice with him, and San Francisco Zen Center Zen Talks on the Sandokai was born. Suzuki Roshi became By tht author of Z~n Mind. Beginne~s Mind surrounded by so many enthusias- tic American Zen students that in 1969 he and his students moved to a large building at 300 Page Street and established Beginner's Mind Temple. Two years earlier, Zen Center had acquired the Tassajara resort and hot springs, which is at the end of a four­ teen-mile dirt road that winds through the rugged mountains of the Los Padres National Forest near the central coast of California. He and his stu­ dents created the first Zen Buddhist monastery in America, Zenshinji (Zen Mind/Heart Te mple). We were starting from scratch under Suzuki Roshi's guidance. Each year Tassajara Zen Mountain Center has two intensive practice­ period retreats: October through December, and January through March. These two practice periods include many hours of zazen (cross-legged seated meditation) each day, lectures, study, and physical work. The students are there for the entire time.

The Buddhist understanding that what we experience is projection, is cinema in the most profound sense. In the sixth century BC, Prince Siddhartha, the future Buddha, was challenged by personal and political upheaval, and he heroically strove to find a meaningful way of living. Waking up and paying attention, he discovered a path of spiritual transformation. The seeds of this breakthrough have continued to flower through 2,500 years. A new wave of contemporary cinema is emerging to embrace all the strands of Buddhism—directly, obliquely, reverently, critically, and comedically too.
