23. The Building Blocks Of Chan Buddhism The building blocks of chan buddhism Buddhism is said to have traveled into China along the Silk Road in the first half of the first century AD. http://www.purifymind.com/BuildingBlocks.htm

The building blocks of Chan Buddhism Buddhism is said to have traveled into China along the Silk Road in the first half of the first century AD. Its rise to prominence grew in proportion to the increasing traffic along the Silk Road, so that by the Tang dynasty (618-907AD) when China's capital, Chang'an, was one of the world's most prosperous cities, Buddhist translations were for the first time accessible. It was during this period that a new variant of Buddhism arose, which used elements from Daoism to beget a quintessentially Chinese variation of the Indian import. This new school came to be known as the Chan, or in Japan, the Zen school. General concepts of Buddhism: The general principles of Buddhism are evident in Chan Buddhism. That is to say that the world is an illusion conjured up by each individual's mind, that every thought has the power to produce a retributive future result (known as karma), and that it is this that decides what form we will appear in during our next life. Enlightenment occurs when we understand this, and nirvana is attained when we are emancipated from the endless cycle of life and death to join the Universal Mind. The main Chinese variations within Chan Buddhism are as follows: 1) The Theory of the double truth: This defines two different kinds of truth, a common one and a higher one, on three different levels. At the heart of this complex theory is an examination of the inter-relationship between existence and non-existence. Truth is complicated by the fact that on the one hand there is physical form or existence and, on the other, everything is said to be illusory or non-existent. In which case, what and where is truth - within existence or non-existence? After considering this, the theory then considers the same question for enlightenment.

How about something on the culture of kung fu? Are their any kung fu books that discuss character building, if so, what do they profess the character of the kung fu artisit should be or include? Answer Hi Phil, I recommend "The Tao of Peace" by Diane Dreher. It's a very good book if you're looking to put Taoism into daily life. You might find it on Amazon.com or through Powells.com. I think that's the address of Powells Books. You could do a google search on Powells Books if that isn't correct. I've been developing what I call American Tao; stripping Taoism of the stupid mysticism of things such as Feng Shui and showing how to use the philosophy. I've written newspaper columns and actually, I'm developing my own website at www.americantao.com. Check it out in about a month and it should be online.

The Hongzhou School and the Formation of Chan Orthodoxy Mario Poceski University of Florida This book constitutes a comprehensive historical study of the Hongzhou School , which under the leadership of Mazu Daoyi (709–788) and his chief disciples emerged as the dominant tradition of Chan Buddhism during the middle part of the Tang dynasty (618–907). Focusing on the period from the aftermath of the An Lushan (d. 757) rebellion until the end of Xianzong’s (r. 805–820) reign (roughly 765–820), the book includes a systematic examination of the Hongzhou School’s early growth and its momentous rise to preeminence as the bearer of new Chan orthodoxy. That is accompanied with an analysis of the Hongzhou School’s key doctrines, based on the earliest strata of pertinent Chan literature rather than on the apocryphal “encounter dialogue” stories that that are regularly used to construe widely-accepted, but historically unwarranted, interpretations about the religious teachings and practices of Tang Chan.

We all know what a cloud is, but what, we wonder, is meant by "empty"? In Chan (pronounced Jen) or Zen literature the term "empty" appears so often and with so many variations of definition, that I will begin by trying to clarify its meaning. To be empty means to be empty of ego, to be without any thought of self, not in the sense that one functions as a vegetable or a wild animal - living things which merely process water, food and sunlight in order to grow and reproduce - but in the sense that one ceases to gauge the events, the persons, the places, and the things of one's environment in terms of "I" or "me" or "mine". A person who is "empty of self" seldom has occasion even to use these pronouns.

Onto-Epistemology of Sudden Enlightenment in Chan Buddhism Chung-ying Cheng Professor, University of Hawaii Chung-Hwa Buddhist Journal No. 13.2 (May 2000) pp. 585-611 p.585 Summary 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

Kiyotaka Kimura(ÙÊõ½ôèüø) Professor University of Tokyo Bodhidharma's Practice of Recompense and Formation of Chan Buddhism An Angle to the Radical Problem of Chan Tradition Forword 1. Classification of Chan 2. Chan of Tathaagat and Chan of Patriarchs 3. Bodhidharma's practice of recompense and its succession ... Conclusion Forword It is said that Chan tradition began from Bodhidharma who was born in Persia or south India and came to China around the early days of the sixth century. However, concerning his life, we find out not a few fictions in Chan texts made in the later times in succession. For example, there is a famous story that Bodhidharma met with the emperor Wu of the Liang dynasty and answered him "you have no marit ", when asked about his contributions to the prosperity of Buddhism. We also know a story that Bodhidharma had been sitting for nine years to deepen his meditation. These stories are very significant to recognize true characteristics of Chan Buddhism. But, we can not believe them as historical facts. They seem to have been skillfully drawn up by Chan Buddhists of the southern sect, who stood in the row of Chan of Patriarchs, in order to make Bodhidharma the perfect founder of Ch'an tradition. Then, what was Bodhidharma in fact ? What did he consider ? what did he teach? Has the Chan thought of Bodhidharma properly been accepted and succeeded to by Chan Buddhists who were proud of successors of Chan of Patriarchs ? Were there any essencials of it that were thrown away ? I would like to pursuit these questions from a historical viewpoint in this presentation, focussing on Bodhidharma's practice of recompense and its succession in Chinese Chan tradition. I would be very glad if it gives a clue to see through the modality of Chan movement in the new millenium to lots of Chan researchers and Chan Buddhist.

38. Buddhist Schools Of Thought The development of chan buddhism reached its height in the Tang Dynasty (618906), which was, after the Han Dynasty, the greatest Chinese dynasty in history http://www.iun.edu/~hisdcl/h425/buddhism2.htm

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)
