Zen Ritual: Studies of Zen Theory in Practice
Steven Heine and Dale S. Wright
Abstract
Zen Ritual: Studies of Zen Theory in Practice contains nine articles by prominent scholars about a variety of topics including Zen rituals kinhin and zazen, and covers rituals from the early Chan period to modern Japan. Each chapter attempts to describe how ritual in Zen, covering key developments that occurred in the Linji/Rinzai and Caodong/Sōtō schools in China and Japan, molds the lives and characters of practitioners, shaping them in accordance with the ideal of Zen awakening.
Keywords: Ritual Studies, Linji/Rinzai, Caodong/Sōtō, Zen Buddhism, Zazen, anti‐ritual, Zen in the West
