Perceived versus Objective Cultural Distance
How do perceived and objective cultural distance compare in predicting immigrants’ acculturation experiences? Using data from a diverse sample of immigrants residing in the United States ( N = 939), we examined perceived cultural distance alongside objective cultural distance measured by the Cultural Fixation Index ( CF ST ), a novel and flexible metric derived from World Values Survey data that captures between-group variation in cultural values…
Living Skillfully
For the First Time in Japan
The transplantation of Zen from China to Japan during the Kamakura period (1185-1333) depended on a series of intrepid seekers, who journeyed beyond conventional geographical and societal boundaries to discover and appropriate religious customs and beliefs while staying on the mainland that spread and eventually thrived on the islands. The only way to learn the intricate ways of Zen theory was to experience first-hand the relevant people, practic…

Approaches to Chan, Sŏn, and Zen Studies
Just Sitting and Just Saying
This paper explicates the complex relationship between contemplative practice and enlightened activity conducted both on and off the meditative cushion as demonstrated in the approach of the Sōtō Zen Buddhist founder Dōgen (1200-1253). I examine Dōgen's intricate views regarding how language, or what I refer to as just saying, can and should be used in creative yet often puzzling and perplexing ways to express the experience of self-realization b…
Zen and the Modern World
Written by one of Japan’s foremost contemporary thinkers and scholars, Zen and the Modern World is the third in a series of essay collections on Zen Buddhism as seen in the context of Western thought. As a leading representative of the Kyoto School, which has sought a critical, comparative linking of Eastern and Western thought, Abe has based his approach on constructive, mutually respectful yet critical intellectual interaction and dialogue with…
Transmissions
Chapter 3 discusses the beginning phase of acculturation, from the time of Dōgen’s awakening in China in 1225 to the middle of the thirteenth century by stressing the direct personal transmission that eventually led to the support Zen teachers gained from both the shogunal and imperial authorities in Japan. After discussing various factors that gave rise to the strength of the Chan tradition in China but also gradually led to its weakening, the c…
Transitions
Chapter 2 examines political factors and social influences that contributed to the construction of the Legend of Living Buddhas, a benchmark for the institutional and artistic shift from Chinese Chan to Japanese Zen. It aims to answer the question of how the Zen monastic institution managed to gain a wide following of religious leaders and their disciples as well as lay followers, especially Song-dynasty literati, after struggling for centuries t…
Teachers
Chapter 6 discusses the foremost religious element that formed the basis for the transfer of Chan to Zen, which was the role of charismatic and inspiring teachers. After attaining enlightenment following a phase of transiency that was often marked by personal struggles, these masters served as abbots, training disciples by using innovative methods to test their level of realization of Buddha-nature in the form of poetry and ink-brush painting com…
Zen and Material Culture
The stereotype of Zen Buddhism as a primarily minimalistic or even immaterial meditative tradition persists in the Euro-American cultural imagination. By contrast, this volume calls attention to the vast range of “stuff” in Zen by highlighting the material abundance and iconic range of the Sōtō, Rinzai, and Ōbaku sects in Japan. Chapters on beads, bowls, buildings, staffs, statues, rags, robes, and even retail commodities in America all shed new …
Transformations
Chapter 5 examines the third and final stage of transplantation, which completed the process of Zen gaining full independence from other schools of Buddhism with its emergence as the newly dominant sect. This phase began with Yishan, one of the most influential émigré monks, arriving in Japan in 1299, bringing with him the tradition of Zen poetic composition and the fine arts. By requiring all novice monks at prestigious temples to display an int…
Temples
Chapter 7 examines how temples were constructed and maintained to enable trainees to attain a transcendent spiritual state through monastic discipline and studies of various kinds of sacred writings paired with carefully structured activities of everyday practice. It stresses the significance of Zen temples by examining the role of monks as those who depart from their home to retreat from ordinary society, replacing ordinary family relationships …
Transplantations
Chapter 4 tracks the challenges of adaptation and accommodation that the major pioneering monks dealt with after returning to Japan and establishing their monasteries in Kyoto and other regions for the fledgling Rinzai and Sōtō branches of Zen. While the returnees were highly innovative, their progress was slow because of opposition from other sects, particularly Tendai Buddhism, located on Mount Hiei, as well as internal sectarian rifts. The cha…
The Zen of Rags
This chapter combines ethnographic research (including in-depth interviews with Zen monastics and laity, especially women) with private and public instruction to reveal the significance and the roles of rags in Zen culture. It provides a critical analysis of root assumptions embedded in Zen rags, and it reinterprets Dōgen’s radical nondual wisdom recorded in the Eihei shingi, Eihei kōroku , and Shōbōgenzō with rags in mind. It also elucidates var…
Shifting Shape, Shaping Text
According to the fox koan, the second case in the Wu-men kuan koan collection, Zen master Pai-chang encounters a fox who claims to be a former abbot punished through endless reincarnations for denying the efficacy of karmic causality. In the end he is liberated by Pai-chang's turning word, which asserts the inexorability of cause-and-effect. Most traditional interpretations of the koan focus on the philosophical issue of causality in relation to …
From Chinese Chan to Japanese Zen
This work provides a survey and critical investigation of the remarkable century from 1225 to 1325, during which the transformation of the Chinese Chan school into the Japanese Zen sect was successfully completed. The cycle of transfer began with a handful of Japanese pilgrims traveling to China, including Eisai, Dōgen, and Enni, in order to discover authentic Buddhism. They quickly learned that Chan, with the strong support of the secular elite,…

Zen Koans
Zen Koans
"What is the sound of one hand clapping?" "Does a dog have Buddha-nature?" These cryptic expressions are among the best-known examples of koans, the confusing, often contradictory sayings that form the centerpiece of Zen Buddhist learning and training. Viewed as an ideal method for attaining and transmitting an unimpeded experience of enlightenment, koans became the main object of study in Zen meditation, where their contemplation was meant to ex…
Like Cats and Dogs
The Mu Kōan 無公案 (or Wu Gongan in its original Chinese pronunciation) consists of a brief conversation in which a monk asks master Zhaozhou Congshen whether or not a dog has Buddha-nature, and the reply is Mu (Ch. Wu), literally “No.” This case, the first kōan in the Gateless Gate, is surely the single best-known and most widely circulated and transmitted kōan record of the Zen (Ch. Chan, Kr. Seon) school of Buddhism. It is recognized as “the kōan…

This is a companion volume to The Koan and The Zen Canon, by the same editors. The first volume collected original essays on koan collections, recorded sayings of individual masters, histories of major schools, and compilations of monastic regulations. The second focuses on the early history of Zen in China, providing overview assessments of many of the most important canonical texts that set the Zen tradition in motion throughout East Asia. Zen …
Self-concept clarity
Self-concept clarity (SCC) references a structural spect oftbe self-concept: the extent to which self-beliefs are clearly and confidently defined, internally consistent, and stable. This article reports the SCC Scale and examines (a) its correlations with self-esteem (SE), the Big Five dimensions, and self-focused attention (Study l); (b) its criterion validity (Study 2); and (c) its cultural boundaries (Study 3). Low SCC was independently associ…

Divergent consequences of success and failure in Japan and North America
Self-enhancing and self-improving motivations were investigated across cultures. Replicating past research, North Americans who failed on a task persisted less on a follow-up task than those who succeeded. In contrast, Japanese who failed persisted more than those who succeeded. The Japanese pattern is evidence for a self-improving orientation: Failures highlight where corrective efforts are needed. Japanese who failed also enhanced the importanc…

Visions of Power
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 post-modernist 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 bi…
Tragedy and Salvation in the Floating World
Adistinctive feature of japanese societyis its apparent eagerness to embrace various forms of voluntary death or suicide as legitimate, even positive, behavior with a potentially redemptive value. These forms include the samurai's ritualistic disembowelment (seppukuorharakiri), remonstration suicide (kanshi) in protest against a corrupt superior, and suicide out of devotion to a lord or superior (junsbi), all of which are surrounded by "a heroic,…

When read before or separately from the study on Kurozumikyo, The Religion of Japan's Korean Minority comes over as a hastily written collection of field-work notes that are interesting in themselves but cry out for further development. Moreover, the title of the monograph is misleading since the book deals…

Critical Buddhism” (Hihan Bukkyō) and the debate concerning the 75-fascicle and 12-fascicle Shōbōgenzō texts
One of the main issues in the recent movement known as Critical Buddhism (hihan bukkyo) is the question of which version of the Shobogenzo represents Dogen’s authentic philosophical message. Critical Buddhism has rejected the conventional emphasis on the priority of the 75fascicle version, which contains the famous philosophical essays on “Buddha-nature” (Bussho) and “Being-Time” (Uji). Instead it emphasizes that the 12-fascicle Shobogenzo, which…
