Oxford University Press 2002. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. A copy that has been read but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. With the growing popularity of Zen Buddhism in the West virtually everyone knows or thinks they know what a koan is: a brief and baffling question or statement that cannot be solved by the logical mind and which after sus tained concentration can lead to sudden enlightenment. But the truth about koans is both simpler--and more complicated--than this. In Opening a Mountain Steven Heine shows that koans and the questions we associate with them--such as "What is the sound of one hand clapping"--are embedded in larger narratives and belong to an ancient Buddhist tradition of "encounter dialogues." These dialogues feature dramatic and often inscru table contests between masters and disciples or between masters and an arr ay of natural and supernatural forces: rouge priests "wild foxes" hermits wizards shapeshifters magical animals and dangerous women. To establis h a new monastery "to open a mountain" the Zen master had to tame these w ild forces in regions most remote from civilization. In these extraordinary encounters fingers and arms are cut off pitchers are kicked over master s appear in and interpret each other's dreams and seemingly absurd stateme nts are shown to reveal the deepest insights. Heine restores these koans to their original traditions allowing readers to see both the complex elemen ts of Chinese culture and religion that they reflect and the role they play ed in Zen's transformation of local superstitions into its own teachings.

Oxford University Press USA 2011. Paperback. Very Good. A copy that has been read but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. In Sacred High City Sacred Low City Steven Heine argues that lived religion in Japan functions as an integral part of daily life; any apparent lack of interest masks a fundamental commitment to participating regularly in diverse though diffused religious practices. The book uses case studies of religious sites at two representative but contrasting Tokyo neighborhoods as a basis for reflecting on this apparently contradictory quality. In what ways does Japan continue to carry on and adapt tradition and to what extent has modern secular society lost touch with the traditional elements of religion Or does Japanese religiosity reflect another possibly postmodern alternative beyond the dichotomy of sacred and secular in which religious differences as well as a seeming indifference to religion are encompassed as part of a contemporary lifestyle Oxford University Press, USA paperback

"Dogen the founder of the Japanese Soto school devoted two fascicles of the Shobogenzo exclusively to the fox koan. One fascicle supports a paradoxical view of causality and non-causality the two being "two sides of the same coin"; the second strongly attacks this interpretation and defends a literal reading that asserts causality and denies non-causality. Dogen's apparent change of heart on this topic has inspired scholars of the recent Critical Buddhist methodology to evaluate the merits and weaknesses in Zen's attitude toward ethical issues and social affairs."
