Chan and Zen studies: the state of the field(s) / Imagining the portrait of a Chan master / On the ritual use of Chan portraiture in medieval China / Tang dynasty Chan mummy [roushen] and a modern case of furta sacra?: investigating the contested bones of Shitou Xiqian / Filling the Zen shū: notes on the Jisshū Yōdō Ki / Quand l'habit fait le moine: the symbolism of the kāṣāya in Sōtō Zen / Enlightenment of kami and ghosts: spirit ordinations in Japanese Sōtō Zen / How Dōshō's medicine saved Dōgen: medicine, Dōshōan and Edo-period Dōgen biographies / Bernard Faure -- Wendi Adamek -- T. Griffith Foulk, Robert H. Sharf -- James Robson -- Carl Bielefeldt -- Bernard Faure -- William M. Bodiford -- Duncan Ryūken Williams.
The essays in this volume attempt to place the Chan and Zen tradition in their ritual and cultural contexts, looking at various aspects heretofore largely (and unduly) ignored. In particular, they show the extent to which these traditions, despite their claim to uniqueness, were indebted to larger trends in East Asian Buddhism, such as the cults of icons, relics and the monastic robe. The book emphasises the importance of ritual for a proper understanding of this allegedly anti-ritualistic form of Buddhism. In doing so, it deconstructs the Chan/Zen 'rhetoric of immediacy' and its ideologica.
