  • Zen and the Way of the Sword: Arming the Samurai Psyche

    Christopher Ives, Winston L King et al.ARTICLEBuddhist-Christian Studies1996

    Zen-serene, contemplative, a discipline of meditation associated with painting, rock gardens, and flower arranging-seems an odd ingredient in the martial psyche of the Japanese samurai. One who is a samurai must before all things keep constantly in mind...the fact that he has to die, wrote a seventeenth-century warrior. That is his chief business. But the demands of that business, writes Winston King, found the perfect philosophical match in the …

    Winston L KingARTICLEReligion1986

    Eschatology has been defined as ~any configuration of religious myths and beliefs that recount or affirm any future happenings directly related to the ultimate destiny of man'. 1 It is the religious account of last, i.e. final, cosmichistorical events and of the final, absolute destiny of mare Before coming to the specific comparison of Christian and Buddhist eschatology two preliminary considerations are in order.

    Winston L KingARTICLEBuddhist-Christian Studies1982

    My first writing about the possibility of Buddhist-Christian dialogue, Buddhism and Christianity: Some Bridges of Understanding (London: 1963), was one result of my first-ever contact with a Buddhist culture, that of the Burmese. It was pleasant to write, for I had found the Burmese charmingly unpretentious, friendly, and nonaggressive in their explanations of Buddhism. Hence the writing was done in a fully ecumenical mood on my part; I tried in …

  • The Structure and Dynamics of the Attainment of Cessation in Theravada Meditation

    Winston L KingARTICLEJournal of the American Academy…1977

    The attainment of cessation (nirodha-samāpatti) is the highest meditational state possible in Theravada Buddhism. Those in this state are to all appearances dead, for it is the extinction of all feeling and perception, continuing for as long as seven days. It is seen as the actual realization of Nibbana in this life. The basic technique of this achievement is yogic. The meditator proceeds through four jhānic states, each one of deeper concentrati…

    There is now in America a considerable scholarly and existential interest in Asian religions. A number of fea tures in the contemporary cultural scene suggest the possibility of a genuine openness to Eastern religious influences : break down of militant Christian missionary attitudes; uncertainty concerning the classical Christian teleology of a coming King dom of God on earth, as well as concerning that belief's secular form—confidence in presen…
