ISBN10: 173331430X, ISBN13: 9781733314305, [publisher: Songlark Publishing] Softcover nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Drawing on over three decades of study and practice, Chuan Zhi, an ordained monk in the Chinese Linji tradition, takes us on a fascinating journey to uncover the causes and conditions that led to Chan's formation as a unique expression of Chinese Buddhism. Along the way, he explores some complex topics: How and why did the Chan institution invent its characteristic lineage system and what is its significance How has state sponsorship shaped the presentation of Chan and Zen throughout the Orient How might there be a disparity between the mystical practice of Chan and its religious expression How does one 'do' Chan as a mystical practice, and why would someone want to And how might a practitioner of Chan best engage with its institutional form to ensure healthy spiritual growth Offering his own insights along with those of past meditation masters, historians, scholars, and canonical texts, Chuan Zhi takes us on a captivating journey that challenges many long-held assumptions. Throughout the narrative, he argues that Chan's mystical practices are as valuable for life today as they have been for centuries.
