The role of religion in shaping the values of nature
Environmental discourse frequently understands the values of nature as being instrumental, intrinsic, or relational and measured in biophysical, sociocultural, or monetary terms. Yet these specific values and value indicators are underpinned by worldviews, knowledge systems, and broad values that orient people towards nature in different ways and can be shared (or diverge) across spatio-temporal and social scales. The Intergovernmental Platform o…

Earthly Things
Globalization and climate weirding are two of the leading phenomena that challenge and change the way we need to think and act within the planetary community. Modern Western understandings of human beings, animals, and the rest of the natural world and the subsequent technologies built on those understandings have thrown us into an array of social and ecological crises with planetary implications. Earthly Things: Immanence, New Materialisms, and…
The Pearl and the Flame
Natan Margalit has crafted a rich treatment of Jewish concepts in relation to systems thinking and the ecological crises we are now facing.He leavens his reflections with comments about his own life and spiritual path, which give his theological and philosophical explorations an engaging foundation in personal experience.A central theme in the book is midrash, the stringing of words-of pearlsas one tells a story.In this fine book Margalit goes be…
Ethics in Zen
Ethics in Zen feature core components of broader Buddhist ethics: precepts, monastic codes, compassion, skill in means, and the bodhisattva ideal. Zen approaches to practice and awakening as well as such influences as Confucianism have coloured how Zen thinkers in East Asia have interpreted and practised these components. As a result, such constructs as the Five Precepts play a role in traditional Zen that differs from how they have functioned in…
Imperial-Way Zen
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…

Critical Sermons of the Zen Tradition
The Record of Linji stands as one of the great classics of the Zen tradition, and modern Zen master and reformer Hisamatsu Shin'ichi offers a lively and penetrating exploration of the religious essenc
The Meaning of the Founder’s Coming from the West
One episode in the Discourse section of the Record of Linji revolves around the “meaning 64 of the Founder’s coming from the west.” I want to discuss this today.
The One True Person without Rank
Today I will discuss the One True Person without Rank. This True Person is spoken of early on the Record of Linji: The Master took the high seat in the hall. He said, “On your lump of red flesh is One True Person without Rank who is always going in and out of the face of every one of you. Those of you who have not yet realized this, look, look!” Then a monk came forward and asked, “What about the One True Person without Rank?” The Master got down…
The Mobilization of Doctrine
In response to Shintoist criticism of Buddhism in the early 1930s, a group of prominent Buddhists and Buddhologists wrote articles on Buddhism and Japanese spirit for a special issue of Ch﷿o Bukkyo in 1934. They highlighted historical connections between Japanese Buddhism and the state, and drew correspondences between Buddhist doctrines and various Shinto and Confucian concepts that were central to discourses on Japanese culture and the imperial…
Pruning the Bodhi Tree
What Are We, Anyway? Buddhists, Buddhologists, or Buddhologians
Although it is tempting to characterize Buddhists who engage in scholarship and with Christians as typical, every Buddhist (and Christian) is, in one sense, atypical. All of our Buddhologies are contextually situated. Reflection on can start from one of several questions: In what place do we engage in At what point in history? About what topics? For what reasons? With what effect? And, finally, as what do we engage in Specifically, what are the t…
The Emptying God ; A Buddhist-Jewish-Christian Conversation
Zen and the Way of the Sword
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 …
