A Study of the Meditation Methods in the DESM and Other Early Chinese Texts Ven. Dr. Yuanci The Buddhist Academy of China Introduction: The Discourse on the Essential Secrets of Meditation (abbr.: DESM) (T15, No. 603) is an oldest and interesting text dealing with various methods of meditation of the ancient Buddhist tradition. It is probably the earliest Indian text on the subject translated into Chinese, and as such important for the understanding of the development of dhyna practices in Chinese Buddhism. It is our belief that the DESM has actually inuenced the Tien Tai and early Chan School of China. The value of this text lies in the fact that many of the meditation techniques and guidelines have hitherto never been exposed to the modern reader, and was composed long before these well-known texts such as the Vimuttimagga and the Visuddhimagga, the information concerns early meditation methods. Here, we try to make a study on them to nd out what the different are the Buddhist traditions in practicing meditations. The Discourse on the Essential Secrets of Meditation (=DESM, T15 No. 613) is a valuable work of the early Yogcras. It was composed by certain Indian or Central Asian master(s) 1 around the 2nd or 3rd century A.D. Its translation from Sanskit into Chinese, influenced the development of the theory and practice of the existing traditions of Chinese Buddhist meditation, A slighty later dhyna stra entitled The Dhyna-samdhi Stra 2 which presupposes our text, developed a dhyna system which greatly inuenced two Chinese Buddhist schools, Tien Tai and Chan. It appears that this work belongs to the Drstntikas who were combined being popular preachers and meditators. The Drstntika is historically a very important school. So far, there is very little concerning this school or movement known to us. Only a few modern scholars (mostly Japanese) have discussed its history and doctrines. We therefore believe that it is worth making an in-depth study of the DESM, preserved now only in Chinese from the source. 1. The subjects of meditation in the DESM This work is primarily a discourse on various meditation methods and the types of experiences that the meditators may expect during meditation. Along with the instructions, there is also other practical advice for meditators, such as the choice of congenial environment and ways of restoring vitality if in the course of meditation training one is weakened. 1 . The catalogues speak of “the sages of the West”- “the West” while usually implying “India” in the mind of the ancient Chinese Buddhists, may also include Central Asia. 2 T15. No. 614. P. 269ff;. 438
