My most recent book, Seeing through Zen: Encounter, Transformation, and Genealogy in Chinese Chan Buddhism (University of California Press, 2003), is an attempt to change how we think and write about this subject in English. For several years I have been working on Zen Evangelist: Shenhui (684-758), Sudden Enlightenment, and the Southern School of Chinese Chan Buddhism, which I hope to finish soon. This book is a sequel to my earlier work on the earliest period of Chinese Chan or Zen Buddhism, done under the guidance of Professor Stanley Weinstein at Yale and with direction from Yanagida Seizan in Kyoto, and published as The Northern School and the Formation of Early Cha'n Buddhism (University of Hawai'i Press, 1986). In recent years I have worked on preparing new translations of Chinese Buddhist texts and essays concerning Chinese Chan (Zen) tradition. I have also devoted considerable effort to the preparation of materials for the teaching of East Asian Buddhism, and I am currently finishing a textbook on this subject; it will be the first-ever English-language survey of Buddhism in China, Korea, and Japan (with occasional references to Tibet and Vietnam), considered not as individual national cultures but as participants in a very dynamic sub-continental religious system. Finally, I have played a minor role in the dissemination of electronic versions of Chinese Buddhist texts. Those interested may consult Asialink. I have also been working on a new approach to teaching, known as the Collaborative Learning Initiative; please consult CLAI web site for further information.

It used to be long lasting and close Buddhist culture exchanges among the ancient oriental countries. Zhi Kong, an Indian senior monk in the 14th century, was one of the outstanding figures in Buddhist history. As an outstanding missionary in the history of Buddhism exchanges among ancient India, Srilank, China, Koryo (DPR Korea and South Korea today), Zhi Kong has made great contributions to the spreading and exchanging of oriental Buddhism. As for exchanging and mixing traditional culture between Korea and China, it will be of great significance to research on Zhi Kong s achievement and influence on the spreading of Buddhism between the tow countries. In my opinion, Zhi Kong has made the following achievements: First, Zhi Kong mixed the Buddhism with individual culture of different nationalities, thus enriching the Buddhism as well as branding it with obvious nation and nationality characters. As an Indian senior monk, Zhi Kong The second, Zhi Kong emphasized on spreading Buddhism in the ethnic group areas in China and established a profound religious relationship with the groups.

Hay practiced Tai Qi Quan and felt that through Tai Qi, she “began to let go of all she had learned, and to trust a new thing called flow, or herself, or the universe”

    Extractions: Sign In / Register Shaolin was very like a modern university in its approach to learning.. Indeed books were some of the only earthly objects held precious by the monks. The books listed below would be essential in a modern Shaolin library. If you are not able to purchase them, seek them out in a library, or go in on them with friends. While there are no books that we have found that accurately and completely portray Shaolin history, philosophy, and kung fu technique, the reader will find the following books a step in the right direction. We have found that there tends to be more quality found in philosophical texts and histories than books on technique. If the book covers technique, we prefer books that cover both form AND application (as the techniques themselves are useless without a clear and concise explanation of the applications) and that constitutes the majority of the books we list. Please note that many of these books are out of print. They can still be found by perusing used book stores and through out of print book search services.

The region may not be ready for such machinery yet, as some have argued, but there are many good reasons why the three East Asian countries should start now on a number of projects for regionwide cooperation. These such projects - regional information infrastructure, a regional energy community, and a regional institution for financing infrastructure investment - are presented in this volume.

    Extractions: Portland, OR 97201 March 3 rd Dear Prof. Makley and Members of the Luce Foundation Grant Selection Committee, As a religion student at Reed I am in constant contact with texts from a wide variety of religious traditions, including those of various Christian traditions, Wicca, and ancient China, and I have studied texts about the study of religion. After three years of analyzing these texts it is easy to forget that these tex ts represent only a small fraction of the many things that engender religious experience. Art, music and certainly architecture all contain as many layers of meaning as a text, but we rarely read them with the scrutiny that we read textual documents. This complaint about the neglect of non-textual sources in the study of religion is one that is echoed by Lindsay Jones in his book The Hermeneutics of Sacred Architecture , a major two-volume study of sacred architecture, the second volume of which functions as a 522-page guidebook to the analysis of any given sacred space. Jones says that texts are often used as the only sources of information with regard to religion while potent sources of information such as art or architecture are ignored or handled without the necessary sophistication.

    Extractions: Song Dynasty (906 AD - 1279 AD) Later Southern Song The Jin state defeated the Song rulers in 1127, the descendants of Hui Zong fled south and established the new capital in Hangzhou. The rulers of the southern Song encouraged the continuation of Northern Song style of painting. However, the environment of the south soon transformed the landscape paintings of the Southern Song artists. The monumental landscape style was typical of the Northern Song period was replaced by a gentler and more intimate style most suited for the idyllic climate of the south. Ma Yuan and Xia Gui used monochrome ink washes to create an intimate and almost mystical style that typified Southern Song artists. Painters of the southern period focussed on nature in an intuitive and spontaneous manner, much like the philosophies of Chan Buddhism and Daoism. The painting entitled "Walking on a Path in Spring" by Ma Yuan, emphasized the Daoist perspective of the natural world. According to Daoist philosophy the natural world is asymmetrical as exemplified in this composition. The scholar is off to one side, gazing at an angle into the distant horizon as the weeping willow tree leads the viewer's eyes to the bird that has flown into the distant landscape, giving an experience of being one with nature. As in Daoism, to achieve the "Way", one must intuitively experience it, in much the same way as the portrayal of "Walking on a Path in Spring"

    Extractions: The Journal of Religion , Oct 1999 v79 i4 p700 So, is this book's author the Faure of the 1990s, the revealer of things hidden since the foundation of the Chan /Zen world? Or the Faure of the 1980s, the creative but careful acolyte of Yanagida Seizen? Faure might remind us a book exists in the fusing of horizons of author and readers, and thus never has just one author. Still, on my horizon I saw a very youthful Faure, an image of the brilliant graduate student, demonstrating his skills and beginning to worry the vines he would later so expertly untwine. A few words on the book's three sections. The first treats Shenxiu, the founding figure of the Northern school. Here Faure provides a political/intellectual context for Shenxiu in addition to the framework of his life and thought. With this foundation laid, the second section examines the Northern school after Shenxiu. Again, Faure does a consummately Faurean job of revealing the eclecticism and permeability of this and other contemporaneous Buddhist schools. The book's final section treats the Lengqie shizi ji ("Record of the masters and disciples of the Lankavatara [school];" a Northern school text that promotes that sutra as palladium of the true Chan lineage (= orthodoxy). Faure again supplies the context we need to understand his subject's place in the interdependent complex of Chan and other Buddhist schools.

    Extractions: The Dispute of the Seventh Patriarchship of Chan Buddhism: A Re-Examination of Epigraphical and Literary Sources (A Summary) When Shenxiu (605-706), the master of Chan Buddhism, was summoned by Empress Wu of the Tang dynasty, the master and his disciples were treated with great honours and privileges at court. After the master's death more honours were bestowed, unprecedent in the history of the Chan monks. His followers felt deeply and made new attempts to consolidate their gains. One of the attempts was to glorify the late master as the sixth patriarch of Chan Buddhism, but this claim of patriarchship enraged other branches of the tradition. They denounced and made counter claims, thus they split the Chan School into the Southern and the Northern branches, making their teacher Huineng (638-713) the legitimate sixth patriarch. The struggle for the sixth patriarch is well known, but the rivalry did not stop at that point, and continued into the following century. This struggle for the seventh patriarch has not yet been fully discussed by scholars. This paper collects related materials from twenty-three sources (i.e., twelve epigraphical, six historical and five literary), including some recent discoveries, and re-examines them in the light of recent scholarship. The following conclusions are made:
