A dynamic presentation of the story of Zen, this book chronicles Zen's development from the original enlightenment experience of the Buddha to its expression in the 20th century. The authors begin with the Indian roots of Zen and how it developed as Buddhism itself flourished in India, China, Tibet, and other parts of Asia. They show how Zen was refined in Korea and Japan and then moved West in the 20th Century. This "Western" Zen has now firmly taken hold in America and elsewhere and continues to evolve. The authors show how Zen today is reflected in all aspects of daily life, from the arts to environmental concerns to psychotherapy.

This is the first book to treat the impact of religious, philosophical and psychological traditions of the East on Western intellectuals, artists, travellers and spiritual seekers in the twentieth century. Addressed to both general readers and scholars of religion, it is especially valuable for its penetrating and inter-religious analysis of two of the most compelling themes now facing the world: the emergence of cross-cultural religious understanding of the natural order and ecological crisis and the metaphysical basis for both the formal diversity and essential unity of religious traditions of both East and West. The West has long romanticized the "mysterious" East, but it has, also, judged its traditions as "uncivilized." Our notions about Eastern spirituality have been formed by a succession of travellers, scientists, artists, intellectuals, poets, philosophers and missionaries, as well as by Eastern travellers who have spent time in the West. This book helps us to recognize the influence of Eastern ideas upon modern Western thought by tracing the history of engagements between East and West up until the present day. It concludes with a section that helps us to perceive the timeless value of the many Eastern contributions to the West's current intellectual and spiritual state.

During the first half of the twentieth century, Zen Buddhist leaders contributed actively to Japanese imperialism, giving rise to what has been termed "Imperial-Way Zen" (Kodo Zen). Its foremost critic was priest, professor, and activist Ichikawa Hakugen (1902–1986), who spent the decades following Japan’s surrender almost single-handedly chronicling Zen’s support of Japan’s imperialist regime and pressing the issue of Buddhist war responsibility. Ichikawa focused his critique on the Zen approach to religious liberation, the political ramifications of Buddhist metaphysical constructs, the traditional collaboration between Buddhism and governments in East Asia, the philosophical system of Nishida Kitaro (1876–1945), and the vestiges of State Shinto in postwar Japan. Despite the importance of Ichikawa’s writings, this volume is the first by any scholar to outline his critique. In addition to detailing the actions and ideology of Imperial-Way Zen and Ichikawa’s ripostes to them, Christopher Ives offers his own reflections on Buddhist ethics in light of the phenomenon. He devotes chapters to outlining Buddhist nationalism from the 1868 Meiji Restoration to 1945 and summarizing Ichikawa’s arguments about the causes of Imperial-Way Zen. After assessing Brian Victoria’s claim that Imperial-Way Zen was caused by the traditional connection between Zen and the samurai, Ives presents his own argument that Imperial-Way Zen can best be understood as a modern instance of Buddhism’s traditional role as protector of the realm. Turning to postwar Japan, Ives examines the extent to which Zen leaders have reflected on their wartime political stances and started to construct a critical Zen social ethic. Finally, he considers the resources Zen might offer its contemporary leaders as they pursue what they themselves have identified as a pressing task: ensuring that henceforth Zen will avoid becoming embroiled in international adventurism and instead dedicate itself to the promotion of peace and human rights. Lucid and balanced in its methodology and well grounded in textual analysis, Imperial-Way Zen will attract scholars, students, and others interested in Buddhism, ethics, Zen practice, and the cooptation of religion in the service of violence and imperialism.

2021 Reprint of the 1940 Edition. Reproduction of the printed book, not the typewritten version often found. Facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. 101 Zen Stories is a compilation of Zen koans, including 19th and early 20th century anecdotes, compiled by Nyogen Senzaki and Paul Reps. The text is one of the first translations of Zen Buddhist literature to appear in English. Zen Buddhism is a mixture of Indian Mahayana Buddhism and Taoism. It began in China, spread to Korea and Japan, and became very popular in the West from the mid- 20th century. The essence of Zen is attempting to understand the meaning of life directly, without being misled by logical thought or language. Zen techniques are compatible with other faiths and are often used, for example, by Christians seeking a mystical understanding of their faith. Zen often seems paradoxical - it requires an intense discipline which, when practiced properly, results in total spontaneity and ultimate freedom. This natural spontaneity should not be confused with impulsiveness. Stories include: A cup of tea -- Finding a diamond on a muddy road -- Is that so? -- Obedience -- If you love, love openly -- No loving-kindness -- Announcement -- Great waves -- The moon cannot be stolen -- The last poem of Hoshin -- The story of Shunkai -- Happy Chinaman -- A Buddha -- Muddy road -- Shoun and his mother -- Not far from Buddhahood -- Stingy in teaching -- A parable -- The first principle -- A mother's advice -- The sound of one hand -- My heart burns like fire -- Eshun's departure -- Reciting sutras -- Three days more--Trading dialogue for longing -- The voice of happiness -- Open your own treasure house -- No water, no moon -- Calling card -- Everything is best -- Inch time foot gem -- Mokusen's hand -- A smile in his lifetime -- Every-minute Zen -- Flower shower -- Publishing the sutras -- Gisho's work -- Sleeping in the daytime -- In dreamland -- Joshu's Zen -- The dead man's answer -- Zen in a beggar's life -- The thief who became a disciple -- Right and wrong -- How grass and trees become enlightened -- The stingy artist -- Accurate proportion -- Black-nosed Buddha -- Ryonen's clear realization and more.
