AbstractThe Sanbokyodan (Three Treasures Association) is a contemporary Zen
movement that was founded by Yasutani Hakuun (1885-1973) in
1954. The style of Zen propagated by Sanbokyodan teachers, noteworthy
for its single-minded emphasis on the experience o/kensho, diverges
markedly from more traditional models found in Soto, Rinzai,or Obaku
training halls. In fact, the Sanbokyodan displays many characteristic
traits of the so-called New Religions. (This is particularly noteworthy as
the influence of the Sanbokyodan on Western conceptions of Zen has been
far out of proportion to its relatively marginal status in Japan.) The arti­
cle concludes with some reflections on category formation in the study of
Japanese religion, arguing that there is an overtly ideological dimension to
the rubric of “old” versus “new.” The manner in which scholars of
Japanese religion represent the disjunction between the New Religions and
traditional Japanese Buddhism may owe as much to the division of labor
in the field as to the nature of the phenomenon itself.
