Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Theravada Buddhism the Buddha himself is first named as an Arahat, as were his enlightened followers, since he is free from all defilements, without greed, hatred, and delusion, rid of ignorance and craving, having no "assets" that will lead to a future birth, knowing and seeing the real here and now. This virtue shows stainless purity, true worth, and the accomplishment of the end, Nibbana. In the Pali canon, Ven. Ananda states that he has known monastics to achieve Nibbana in one of four ways: * one develops insight preceded by serenity (Pali: samatha-pubba?gama? vipassana?); * one develops serenity preceded by insight (vipassana-pubba?gama? samatha?); * one develops serenity and insight in a stepwise fashion (samatha-vipassana? yuganaddha?); * one's mind becomes seized by excitation about the Dhamma and, as a consequence, develops serenity and abandons the fetters (dhamma-uddhacca-viggahita? manasa? hoti). This is one of the few works on arhats in china and japan. Scarce.Quarto.Book 215 p. xvi pl.. Berlin, Oesterheld & Co., 1923

Download or read book Visions of Power written by Bernard Faure and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bernard Faure's previous works are well known as guides to some of the more elusive aspects of the Chinese tradition of Chan Buddhism and its outgrowth, Japanese Zen. Continuing his efforts to look at Chan/Zen with a full array of postmodernist critical techniques, Faure now probes the imaginaire, or mental universe, of the Buddhist Soto Zen master Keizan Jokin (1268-1325). Although Faure's new book may be read at one level as an intellectual biography, Keizan is portrayed here less as an original thinker than as a representative of his culture and an example of the paradoxes of the Soto school. The Chan/Zen doctrine that he avowed was allegedly reasonable and demythologizing, but he lived in a psychological world that was just as imbued with the marvelous as was that of his contemporary Dante Alighieri. Drawing on his own dreams to demonstrate that he possessed the magical authority that he felt to reside also in icons and relics, Keizan strove to use these "visions of power" to buttress his influence as a patriarch. To reveal the historical, institutional, ritual, and visionary elements in Keizan's life and thought and to compare these to Soto doctrine, Faure draws on largely neglected texts, particularly the Record of Tokoku (a chronicle that begins with Keizan's account of the origins of the first of the monasteries that he established) and the kirigami, or secret initiation documents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a highly sensitive exploration of key concepts and metaphors, Bernard Faure guides Western readers in appreciating some of the more elusive aspects of the Chinese tradition of Chan Buddhism and its outgrowth, Japanese Zen. He focuses on Chan's insistence on "immediacy"--its denial of all traditional mediations, including scripture, ritual, good works--and yet shows how these mediations have always been present in Chan. Given this apparent duplicity in its discourse, Faure reveals how Chan structures its practice and doctrine on such mental paradigms as mediacy/immediacy, sudden/gradual, and center/margins.
