China Root: Taoism, Ch’an, and Original Zen
Description :
A beautifully compelling and liberating guide to the original
nature of Zen in ancient China by renowned author and
translator David Hinton. Buddhism migrated from India to
China in the first century C.E., and Ch'an (Japanese: Zen) is
generally seen as China's most distinctive and enduring form
of Buddhism. In China Root, however, David Hinton shows
how Ch'an was in fact a Buddhistinfluenced extension of
Taoism, China's native system of spiritual philosophy. Unlike
Indian Buddhism's abstract sensibility, Ch'an was grounded in
an earthy and empiricallybased vision. Exploring this vision,
Hinton describes Ch'an as a kind of antiBuddhism. A radical
and wild practice aspiring to a deeply ecological liberation: the
integration of individual consciousness with landscape and
with a Cosmos seen as harmonious and alive.In China Root,
Hinton describes this original form of Zen with his trademark
clarity and elegance, each chapter exploring in enlightening
ways a core Ch'an conceptsuch as meditation, mind, Buddha,
awakeningas it was originally understood and practiced in
ancient China. Finally, by examining a range of standard
translations in the Appendix, Hinton reveals how this original
understanding and practice of Ch'an/Zen is almost entirely
missing in contemporary American Zen, because it was lost in
Ch'an's migration from China through Japan and on to the
West.Whether you practice Zen or not, taking this journey on
the wings of Hinton's remarkable insight and powerful writing
will transform how you understand yourself and the world. em
