Words from the Suttas/Sutras "Who in the world is a man constrained by conscience, who awakens to censure like a fine stallion to the whip? Those restrained by conscience are rare those who go through life always mindful. Having reached the end they go through what is uneven evenly; go through what is out-of-tune in tune." Samyutta Nikaya I.18, Hiri Sutta, "Conscience" Quotes of the Week "This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness. Whether one believes in a religion or not, and whether one believes in rebirth or not, there isn't anyone who doesn't appreciate kindness and compassion."The 14th Dalai Lama Book Review: Master Sheng-yen's Subtle Wisdom: Understanding Suffering, Cultivating Compassion Through Ch’an

Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. www.mfa.org The Western Chan Fellowship Dharma Advisor - The Venerable Chan Master Dr Sheng-yen Teacher - Dr John Crook Chuan-deng Jing-di What is Chan? Chan means Meditation in Chinese. It is the historical root of Japanese Zen. Both Chan and Zen are rooted in the Mahayana traditions of Compassion and Wisdom which are central to the Buddhist path. Chan employs traditional Buddhist meditation techniques to explore important questions concerning our place in the world. To know yourself through Chan is to go beyond the ego and to perceive the relationship between yourself and the Universe. In this quest Chan places emphasis on personal experience, both in meditation and in everyday life. Chan opens the door to a fresh appreciation of life, death, self and mind. It accords with present-day Western psychology and philosophy and in several respects goes beyond them, to provide basic values for life in the modern world. Although Chan Buddhism is not well known in this country, its broad approach has much to offer Westerners. It fulfils a need for a contemporary viewpoint which, whilst based in traditional orthodox practice, also relates to our present time.

Health is the most precious gain, and contentment the greatest wealth. A trustworthy person is the best kinsman, Nirvana the highest bliss. Dhammapada D h a r m a l o k a is a Buddhist community that has existed in Croatia for a number of years. It follows the Sino-Japanese Mahayana Buddhist tradition, primarily Chinese Chan (Zen).

Chan Buddhism I wrote this tutorial presentation for "Foundations of Chinese Thought II" in 1996. This is a near-complete draft I've just found. The submitted version, along with most of my course notes (*wah*), was lent out and hasn't found its way back to me... I might work on re-developing a few less coherent pieces that were stored with this, but anyway, re-reading those of my notes that are still here is interesting. What did Chan ideology 'deconstruct' and what possible roots might Chan deconstruction have had in early Daoist thought? [Margin notes: signifier != signified; word !=meaning; writing (dead words) != speech != meaning - history of purges of itself - thundering silence; nonsense words; physical response highlight the arbitrary nature of language] Introduction Chan is a form of Buddhism which developed originally as a monastic discipline in China. The Chinese familiarity with meditation techniques through religious Daoist attemts to obtain immortality/longevity led them to emphasise the samyak-samhadi (right contemplation) part of the Buddhist Eightfold Path. The name Chan, and later Zen, is derived from the Sanskrit

Lilienthal Book in Asian Studies Publication Date: January 2004 Subjects: Religion China Buddhism Rights: World 224 pages, 6 x 9 inches, 5 b/w illustration, 2 maps Clothbound Available Now Paperback Available Now Description Table of Contents About the Author Related Books DESCRIPTION (back to top) The tradition of Chan Buddhismmore popularly known as Zenhas been romanticized throughout its history. In this book, John R. McRae shows how modern critical techniques, supported by recent manuscript discoveries, make possible a more skeptical, accurate, andultimatelyproductive assessment of Chan lineages, teaching, fundraising practices, and social organization. Synthesizing twenty years of scholarship, Seeing through Zen offers new, accessible analytic models for the interpretation of Chan spiritual practices and religious history. Writing in a lucid and engaging style, McRae traces the emergence of this Chinese spiritual tradition and its early figureheads, Bodhidharma and the "sixth patriarch" Huineng, through the development of Zen dialogue and koans.

Douglas L. Martin A brief introduction to Zen “To have nothing in mind is noble. To have no skill and no knowledge is supreme. No abiding, no hermitage, comes next.” -Basho Siddhartha Gautama founded Buddhism in the sixth century B.C. He pursued enlightenment by studying with Brahmin gurus, and later by practicing extremely harsh asceticism for five years. At the end of those years, he collapsed into a stream from exhaustion. After the cold water revived him, he decided to give up on asceticism, and meditate under a bo tree until he attained enlightenment, and because he had stopped coveting enlightenment, it suddenly came to him in a flash of inspiration. Siddhartha was then renamed the Buddha (“Enlightened One”), and he taught his followers to free themselves from grasping desires, and meditate to clear their minds in order to attain enlightenment. Buddhism teaches its followers to avoid either the extreme decadence of the ‘party life’, or the extreme of severe asceticism. A monk named Bodhidharma brought Mahayana Buddhism to China in 520 A.D. There, it mingled with Taoist philosophy, and the resulting form of Buddhism was named Chan.

It is a Chinese religion. It fits in Chinese culture well. Han Yu s anti-Buddhism letter: Han Yu was a great poet, a Confucianist scholar and an important officer in Tang dynasty. The main point in his anti-Buddhism letter (Chen s book p.225) was that Buddhism was a foreign religion. 1.1.3. It is practical and romantic.

Topical Journal - Reports from Vienna Shaolin Boom in Vienna September 8, 2002 - A new Shaolin Temple in Vienna is enjoying huge popularity amongst both athletes and those just trying to stay in shape. The site for the temple was chosen by the famous Shaolin monk, Shi Yang Ming (39), who started studying Chan Buddhism and martial arts at the Shaolin Temple in Henan, China at the age of five. Over the last ten years in he has made a name for himself in the USA founding a Shaolin Temple in New York, a hit with stars from the entertainment world. The Shaolin Temple in Vienna is the first of its kind in Austria. The training offered includes Kung Fu, Tai Chi, Chi Kung, meditation and Chan Buddhism. There are also courses for children on Sunday afternoons. Kung Fu increases the flexibility of the body through kicks, jumps and stretching whilst Chi Kung, not so common in the western world, strengthens the body with stances similar to those practised in yoga. Tai Chi was originally conceived as a martial art but can help personal fitness combined with meditation. Chan Buddhism was founded 1,500 years ago. The Japanese version of Zen Buddhism, better known in the west, developed out of Chinese Chan Buddhism. The Vienna Shaolin Temple is run by 33-year-old Wolfgang Gall from Vienna, who studied in New York under Shi Yang Ming. Courses will be held by Shaolin monks from New York who will come to Vienna on a regular basis.
