| Abstract | The present paper examines the career and teaching of the Tokugawa-period Rinzai Zen Master Bankei Yotaku (1622-1693). Bankei is one of Japanese Zen's most distinctive figures and is particularly noted for his direct, popular teaching style based on the concept of the Unborn (J:fusho). In order to place Bankei's teaching in its proper context, the introductory portion of the paper provides a discussion of Japanese Zen in Bankei's time, indicating that Bankei shared important elements with other Zen teachers of the early Tokugawa period. Early Tokugawa Zen, in turn, was in many respects a response to the Zen of the late Middle Ages, when the teaching had been dominated by missan Zen, a formalized system of transmission influenced by Esoteric Buddhism. The Introduction, therefore, opens with an overview of Zen in the late Middle Ages, focusing on the missan system, before turning to the world of early Tokugawa Zen. It concludes with a detailed examination of Bankei's own career and of his teaching of the Unborn, based largely on the various accounts recorded by Bankei's disciples and on Bankei's letters, poems and talks. The translation portion of the paper contains a complete translation of Bankei's surviving sermons, the Bankei zenji seppo. These consist largely of extemporaneous talks delivered by Bankei in 1690, and represent the most important firsthand source for Bankei's Zen teaching. |
