The Esoteric Nenbutsu in Tendai
Until recently, our view of Chinese Buddhist history was overly influenced by sectarian categories inherited by Japanese Buddhism, which clearly distinguished Zen/Chan, Pure Land, and esoteric Buddhism (mostly Shingon 真言). Recently, scholars have begun to study syncretistic trends known as “esoteric Zen” and “esoteric nenbutsu.” However, the latter has so far been mostly examined within the framework of Shingon Buddhism. This paper will emphasize…
Le bouddhisme, une religion tolérante
La cause semble entendue: le bouddhisme est une religion tolerante, sinon « la » religion de la tolerance. Mais cette tolerance - au demeurant discutable - est-elle liee a la nature du bouddhisme, ou est-elle le fruit de necessites historiques et politiques
Aspects of Medieval Japanese Religion
The focus of this Special Issue is on medieval Japanese religion. Although Kamakura "new" Buddhist schools are usually taken as unquestioned landmarks of the medieval religious landscape, it is necessary to add complexity to this static picture in order to grasp the dynamic and hybrid character of the religious practices and theories that were produced during this historical period. This Special Issue will shed light on the diversity of medieval …

Rage and Ravage
Written by one of the leading scholars of Japanese religion, Rage and Ravage is the third installment of a milestone project in our understanding of the mythico-ritual system of esoteric Buddhism-specifically the nature and roles of deities in the religious world of medieval Japan and beyond. Bernard Faure introduces readers to medieval Japanese religiosity and shows the centrality of the gods in religious discourse and ritual; in doing so he mov…

Jūzenji, ou l’enfance du divin
During the medieval period and till the Meiji Restoration, Jūzenji was one of the preeminent gods of the Hie Shrines (known today as Hiyoshi Taisha). The very name “Jūzenji” sounds rather strange for a kami, and it has received various Buddhist and “Shintō” interpretations. It points toward a Buddhist monastic institution, that of the “ten dhyāna masters” (jūzenji), which was important in the Nara and Heian periods but had declined by the time Jū…
Decentering Mañjuśrī
Many scholars have studied Mañjuśrī’s role as bodhisattva of wisdom. However, while Buddhist deities have usually been studied ‘individually,’ I believe that they can only be understood in a broader context. A deity is not an individual, but the salient part of a network that includes, first of all, his acolytes, his entourage, but also his mount, his various manifestations, as well as a number of functionally similar deities. Indeed, all of the …
Japanese Tantra, the Tachikawa-ryū, and Ryōbu Shintō
Currents and Countercurrents
Soon after the inception of Buddhism in the sixth or fifth century B.C.E., the Buddha ordered his small band of monks to wander forth for the welfare and weal of the many, a command that initiated one of the greatest missionary movements in world religious history. But this account of a monolithic missionary movement spreading outward from the Buddhist homeland of India across the Asian continent is just one part of the story. The case of East As…

The God Daishōgun
La cosmologie chinoise du Yin et du Yang et des Cinq Agents (wuxing), telle qu'elle se développe sous la dynastie des Han, constitue une sorte de démythologisation de la pensée religieuse chinoise. Chez son lointain successeur japonais, l'onmyōdō médiéval, on assiste paradoxalement à une re-mythologisation, à travers l'apparition de récits mythiques relatifs à des divinités telles que Gozu Tennō et le roi Banko (Pan Gu, l'Homme Primordial de la m…

The Cambridge Companion to Religious Studies
The Cambridge Companion to Religious Studies is both informative and provocative, introducing readers to key debates in the contemporary study of religion and suggesting future research possibilities. A group of distinguished scholars takes up some of the most pressing theoretical questions in the field. What is a 'religious tradition'? How are religious texts read? What takes place when a religious practitioner stands before a representation of …
Introduction
Introducing the sixth and final installment of the Common Knowledge symposium "Apology for Quietism," Allen looks at the symposium retrospectively and concludes that it has mainly concerned "sage knowledge," defined as foresight into the development of situations. The sagacious knower sees the disposition of things in an early, incipient form and knows how to intervene with nearly effortless and undetectable (quiet) effectiveness. Whatever the ci…
In the Quiet of the Monastery
A contribution to the sixth installment of the Common Knowledge symposium "Apology for Quietism," this article addresses a) the extent to which the familiar term "Buddhist quietism" is legitimate, b) the use of the term by Jesuit missionaries in Asia at the time that Catholic quietism was briefly flourishing in Europe, and c) the use of the term in the European philosophical controversy over Spinozism. Faure argues that, in most cases, the Europe…

From Bodhidharma to Daruma
The monk (Jap. Daruma) is usually presented as the founding patriarch of the Chan/Zen tradition and he has become a favorite theme of Zen ink-paintings. In early modern Japan, however, another image of became immensely popular: that of the tumbling dolls, which were initially used as charms to protect children against smallpox. thus became a protector of children and bringer of good luck, and his image was also fraught with sexual connotations (a…

As Bernard Faure examines the study of Chan/Zen from the standpoint of postmodern human sciences and literary criticism, he challenges this inversion of traditional Orientalist discourse: whether the Other is caricatured or idealized, ethnocentric premises marginalize important parts of Chan thought. Questioning the assumptions of East…

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…

Le maître de Dhyāna Chih-ta et le "subitisme" de l'école du Nord
This article focusses on the life and thought of an influential figure of the Northern line of Ch'an Buddhism, Chih-ta (alias Hou-mo-ch'en Yen, d. 713). Several works on Ch'an doctrine attributed to him have been found among Tun-huang manuscripts. These texts have been considered by Japanese scholars as posterior to the famous sudden/gradual controversy initiated by Shen-hui in 734. But Chih-ta's epitaph, ignored until now, clearly shows that his…

La compréhension historique
This paper analyzes the kind of historical understanding presupposed in the writing of classical Chinese Ch'an Buddhist "transmission" narratives and places this historical understanding into comparative juxtaposition with modern Western historiographic practice. It finds that fundamental to Chinese Ch'an historical awareness are genealogical metaphors structuring historical time and meaning in terms of generations of family relations and the pra…

Quand l'habit fait le moine
La sacralisation de trésors dynastiques, d'objets de culte, de reliques, de talismans et de diagrammes est un phénomène politique et religieux qu 'on peut dire universel. Sur sa valeur de légitimation dans le contexte chinois, Anna Seidel avait écrit quelques-unes de ses études les plus pénétrantes. Avec des limites bien tracées, le présent article se voudrait une prise de relais : dans une monographie du Hōbōgirin encore inédite, Anna Seidel ava…

Original Insights Never Fully Present
Bernard Faure's encyclopedic study of the rhetoric of immediacy and the reality of mediation in the Chan/Zen tradition (The rhetoric of immediacy : a cultural critique of Chan/Zen buddhism, Princeton University Press, 1991) suffers from lapses and its own rhetorical excesses, but succeeds in conveying the essential undecidability of Chan, as manifested in deeds and words through the centuries in China and Japan
