Extractions: The USA Shaolin Temple carries on the traditions and training of the illustrious Shaolin Temple in Henan, China and was founded by 34th generation Shaolin Temple Fighting Monk, Shifu Shi Yan Ming. Located in New York City, the USA Shaolin Temple unites the East and West in its message of spreading Ch'an Philosophy to the world. Very few words are needed to understand this profound messagethe Temple's heartfelt slogan of "More Chi! Train Harder!" gives a special resonance in the face of Shaolin Training. The USA Shaolin Temple teaches Ch'an Philosophy through the core Shaolin disciplines of martial arts or action meditation : Kung Fu ( Gong fu ), Tai Chi ( Tai Ji ), Chi Kung ( Qi Gong ). Students of all backgrounds, religions, ages, and atheletic ability can train at Temple. Students come to the USA Shaolin Temple from all around the world to learn and grow from traditional Shaolin training. "Heart to Heart" and "Mind to Mind" is the essence of Shaolin Ch'an Philosophy and this system of training spans the differences between language and culture as a direct form of growth and understanding. Students find many paths to get to the Temple, while some students seek to build better health and create a feeling of well-being, others may train for self-defense or flexibility, but there is one singular concept behind Shaolin training, that martial arts and Chan Philosophy are one and the same.

Buddhist Schools Of Thought
The development of chan buddhism reached its height in the Tang Dynasty Because their emphasis is on intuitive understanding, chan buddhism is not big
http://www.iun.edu/~hisdcl/h425/buddhism2.htm

Extractions: Buddhist Schools of Thought 1. Pure Land Buddhism: Buddhist denomination developed during the Northern and Southern Dynasties Period (420-589), when China was again divided into several kingdoms, with the northern ones (the North Dynasty) controlled in the hands of invaders (the China north of the Yangtze River was often invaded in history by nomadic tribes outside of China), and the southern ones underwent a rapid succession of (Chinese) rulers. Fearing the teachings of Siddartha Guatama, or Sakyamuni (meaning the sage of the Sakyas, since he was born the son of a king of the Sakya clan of the Kshatriya, or warrior, caste) might not last, and considering the confusing and degenerating states of Buddhist doctrines and monasteries, many thought hope for salvation lay with faith in the saving powers of the Buddhas, especially one called Amita, who was known for the efficacy for his vows (de Bary, 482). Any one who called out his name: ami-tuo-fo, in good faith would be reborn in his Buddha-world of Pure Land. Amita (meaning: Immeasurable Radiance) resides in the "Happy Land" or "Pure Land" to the Chinese, in the Paradise of the West. (de Bary, 420) This may sound very confusing to people who believe in a Buddhism that does not have deities, nor heaven in the Christian sense. But we have to remember that Buddhism grew out of Hinduism that has many deities. The influence of Hinduism is strong enough so that Siddartha Guatama himself is sometimes interpreted as part of a trinity: the Body of Essence, the Body of Bliss, and the Body of Transformation. It was in the form of the last that Guatama lived on earth, an emanation of the Body of Bliss that dwelled in the heavens as a sort of supreme god; the Body of Bliss is an emanation of the Body of Essence that pervades and underlies the whole universe. (de Bary, 420)

http://zbohy.zatma.org/Dharma/zbohy/Literature/7thWorld/c1_preface.html

Extractions: Preface Index by Ming Zhen Shakya This book must be read slowly - I can't emphasize this too much. Please take your time - not just because the style in which it's written is such that if too much is read at one sitting the sentences turn to mush, but because hurrying is so counter-productive. Instead of a gradual, unified expansion, there is just an unsatisfying jumble of parts. Books about religion may be entertaining or not, but they are never novels. It isn't somebody else's life we're reading about. It's our own. Even the historical development of Chan can provide useful lessons if we take the trouble to relate the many tales of trial and error, of mistake and correction, to our own individual lives. If you want to get started with an actual Chan practice, you can follow the instructions given in Chapter 10 as you read the long historical passages of the first section. Likewise, if you want to begin learning Chan psychology, you can also leave-off the history and turn to Chapter 5. I've tried to present a fair account of modern Chinese Chan Buddhism, an account which wouldn't be offensive to those who practice other forms of Buddhism or be rejected as being too unorthodox or "western" by those who practice the many varieties of Chan. I expect complaints.
The Will To Orthodoxy: A Critical Genealogy Of Northern Chan Buddhism, By Bernar
The Will to Orthodoxy A Critical Genealogy of Northern chan buddhism, By Bernard Faure. Reviewed by Jeffrey Dippmann. Philosophy East West V. 49 No.
http://ccbs.ntu.edu.tw/FULLTEXT/JR-PHIL/ew92864.htm

Extractions: pp. 386-388 p.386 Bernard Faure has established himself as the preeminent and most creative Chan scholar in the United States. Working with and going beyond recent Japanese scholarship, he has reevaluated the philosophical interpretation of Chan from a postmodernist perspective. In his latest work, The Will to Orthodoxy: A Critical Genealogy of Northern Chan Buddhism, Faure once again makes a vital contribution to the field, though this time from a historiographical standpoint. Expertly translated by Phyllis Brooks, this streamlined and concise text brims with insight. Chan's internal dispute between "Southern" and "Northern" schools and its ninth-century emergence as an authentic form of Chinese Buddhism reflect a common theme in the development of religions-the struggle for and "will to" orthodoxy. Despite victors' claims to the contrary, orthodoxy is created from a confluence of factors both historical and theoretical. Often emerging only after identifying and eradicating opponents whose views may or may not be accurately characterized, orthodoxy and the heresiographer's art generally oversimplify the rival's theories, p.387

Extractions: pp. 585-611 p.585 For the purpose of understanding the nature and meaning of enlightenment in the Chan/Zen philosophy, it is first necessary to distinguish four levels of human knowledge and see how Chan enlightenment (Chanwu ÁI®© ) occupies the deepest level of knowledge. Then it is also necessary to see how the Chan Buddhist would argue for the import and necessity of the Chanist enlightenment within the Buddhist tradition and hence how the Chan enlightenment would stand out as a necessary form of human experience which is unique, yet could be universal. Finally, we could see how one may even bring out a hidden dimension of the Chan enlightenment to bear on the problem of life in order to make the Chan enlightenment more significant for a modern human being in his or her struggle with modernity. In connection with this uncovering of the dimensions of the Chan enlightenment, we will come to see how the Chan philosophy of enlightenment could evolve into a post-modern form of spirituality as self-consciously rooted in the rich tradition of Chinese philosophy. Key words: 1. Ontology 2. Self-knowledge 3. Chan 4. Sudden-enlightenment

Buddhism entered China a few centuries after the passing away of the Buddha, at a time when Confucianism and Taoism were the predominant religions in a country that was as a big as a continent and rivaled India in historical antiquity and cultural pluralism. In the early phases of its entry, Buddhism did not find many adherents in China. But by the 2nd Century AD, aided to some extent by the simplicity of its approach and some similarities with Taoism, it managed to gain a firm foothold and acquired a sizeable following. The arrival of many new Buddhist scholars from the Indian subcontinent and central Asia, like An Shih-Kao, a Parthinian monk, and Lokakshema, a Kushana monk from Central Asia gave an impetus to the new religion that had many attractive features besides an inbuilt organizational approach to the study and pursuit of religion. During the same period many Buddhist texts were translated from Pali and Sanskrit into Chinese. The collapse of Han dynasty around 220 AD, was followed by a period of confusion which continued to trouble Chinese society for the next 350 years. During this period Confucianism and Taoism gradually yielded place to Buddhism. The new Mongolian rulers of China from the Northern Wei dynasty and some rulers in the south like Emperor Wu found in Buddhism a great opportunity to demolish the old order and establish a new one. As a result by 6th Century AD, China was teaming with millions of Buddhist monks and thousands of monasteries.

Extractions: ISSN 1562-059X World Hongming Philosophical Quarterly Vol. 2002, No. December A Comparative Study of Dunwu in Chan Buddhism and Lianyang in Daoist Religion Professor Dr. Hengyucius World Hongming Academy of Philosophy and Religious Studies P. O. Box 1488, Rosemead, CA 91770 USA Email: hy@whpq.org Abstract Dunwu is a practical approach in Chan Buddhism; but in Daoist religion, lianyang is emphasized all the time. Both the theories of dunwu and lianyang belong to mind nature theories in Chinese religions. This paper mainly discusses the original meanings of the dunwu and lianyang, and tries to clarify their distinctions in religious practice. Four aspects of their distinctions are finally demonstrated: 1) they have different practical fruition; 2) their practical courses are different; 3) their practical contents are different; and 4) the practical lengths of time that could respectively archive their ultimate goals are different. Keywords : Buddhism, dunwu, approach of Chan, Daoist religion, lianyang, mind nature
