How Zen Became Japanese: The Dait<\/strong>\u014d<\/strong> Branch and the Birth of a New Practice in Rinzai Buddhism<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Speaker:<\/strong> Didier Davin<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The kanhua chan<\/em> (Jp. kannazen<\/em> \u770b\u8a71\u7985), a practice established by Dahui Zonggao \u5927\u6167\u5b97\u6772 (1089\u20131163) during the Song period, soon became dominant in Chan (Jp. Zen) Buddhism. According to this method, practitioners must focus on a gong-an<\/em> (Jp. k\u014dan<\/em>) until a spiritual explosion occurs, thus opening a passage toward awakening. This kanhua chan<\/em> was imported into Japan and during the Middle Ages became the basis of the practice in both the Rinzai and S\u014dt\u014d schools, as in China, Korea, and Vietnam. Around the middle of the fourteenth century, an important evolution occurred: while in other areas where Chan spread a practitioner had to pass only one gong-an<\/em> to reach awakening, in Japan, several were considered necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By examining the Dait\u014d branch of Rinzai Buddhism, this talk will present the sources through which the history of this significant change can be reconstructed. It will also attempt to answer the question of how\u2014and in part, why\u2014Japanese Zen developed the specificities that radically distinguish it from other lands of Chan practice today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Didier Davin<\/strong> is an Associate Professor at the National Institute of Japanese Literature. His first research examined the thought of the Zen monk Ikky\u016b S\u014djun. Recently, he has been investigating the doctrinal evolution of the Rinzai Zen school from the fourteenth to the seventeenth century with a specific focus on the so-called Dait\u014d branch, which became the Rinzai school’s main branch in the Edo period and is the only one remaining today. Davin has published a study on the reception in Japan of the important Chan text Wumenguan<\/em> (Jp. Mumonkan<\/em>) (Mumonkan no shusse sugoroku: Kika shita zen no seiten<\/em>; Heibonsha, 2020). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This lecture will be held on site (limited space: send us an email in advance) and via Zoom.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The meeting link will remain posted on the ISEAS website or the EFEO blog from July 13.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
