Abstract | Explores the history and philosophical significance of three language-related methods widely used in Chan practice during the golden age of Chinese Chan Buddhism from the eight to the twelfth centuries. Discussions of language-related methods used in Chan practice; Philosophical meaning of the methods; Relation between the philosophical originality of Chinese Chan Buddhism and its use of language-focused methods.
It is an assertion routinely made that the rise of Chan represents a new stage in the development of Chinese Buddhism. But there can be no philosophical breakthrough without the discovery of new conceptual tools or perspectives. The histories and philosophical meanings of three language-related Chan methods are explored here; it is shown that not only are the methods vital to our understanding of Chan Buddhism but also they explain why Chan is so different from anything Chinese philosophy had seen up until the rise of Chan. |
