The tradition of Chan Buddhism - more popularly known as Zen - has been romanticized throughout its history. In this book, John R. McRae shows how modern critical techniques, supported by recent manuscript discoveries, make possible a more skeptical, accurate, and - ultimately - productive assessment of Chan lineages, teaching, fundraising practices, and social organization. Synthesizing twenty years of scholarship, "Seeing Through Zen" offers new, accessible analytic models for the interpretation of Chan spiritual practices and religious history. Writing in a lucid and engaging style, McRae traces the emergence of this Chinese spiritual tradition and its early figureheads, Bodhidharma and the 'sixth patriarch' Huineng, through the development of Zen dialogue and koans. In addition to constructing a central narrative for the doctrinal and social evolution of the school, "Seeing Through Zen" examines the religious dynamics behind Chan's use of iconoclastic stories and myths of patriarchal succession. McRae argues that Chinese Chan is fundamentally genealogical, both in its self-understanding as a school of Buddhism and in the very design of its practices of spiritual cultivation. Furthermore, by forgoing the standard idealization of Zen spontaneity, we can gain new insight into the religious vitality of the school as it came to dominate the Chinese religious scene, providing a model for all of East Asia - and the modern world. Ultimately, this book aims to change how we think about Chinese Chan by providing new ways of looking at the tradition.

如果說禪宗給佛教帶來的是疊層式的文學構架和曆史建造,那麼禪的研究則站在瞭要將其建構過程解構的對立麵。開篇,Mcrae就列舉瞭他創造的四條定律來指導他的解構研究: McRae’s Rules of Zen Studies: 1. It’s not true, and therefore it’s more important. 2. Lineage ass...

講談社風格的禪宗史,問題意識非常突顯。建構菩提達摩與東山法門的聯係,在兩京受到尊崇的經曆成為後期禪宗尷尬的曆史遺産,機緣問答的齣現作為古典禪成立的標誌,也是馬剋瑞早期禪史研究的歸著點。幾個環節一氣嗬成,瀟灑之極。
評分一本活潑易讀的early禪宗史,從Boddhidharma 到宋大慧宗杲,McRae解釋瞭禪宗“曆史”的堆積形成。有時候重要的並不是事實是如何,而是人們究竟是基於怎樣的需要在怎樣的語境下再創造瞭曆史。

評分很有洞見!!!!禪宗課的閱讀材料,作者真是聰明!
評分這個作者總是一種很自負的口氣,可能是看不慣西方“zen”泛濫現象,很有趣。感覺這麼具有鮮活形象的作者竟然已經去世好幾年,有點感慨。
