    Buddhist Experts Stress Need for Books in English

    Buddhist experts agreed on the need for more English-language books on and translations of Korean Buddhism, and even an English newspaper on the subject during an annual seminar last week.

    The 12th seminar for the ``Outlook and Meaning of the Globalization of Ganhwa Seon'' was held at the Korean Buddhist History and Culture Memorial Hall, Friday, with Buddhist experts, monks and writers in attendance.

    ``Ganhwa Seon'' is a method of Buddhism aimed at seeing one's original nature through the use of ``hwadu,'' or key phrases given to practitioners to help them achieve that goal. If one sees his or her original nature, then that person is considered enlightened. It is known as one of the most developed meditation methods in the Buddhist world and has been the primary method carried out by the Jogye Order, the largest Buddhist sect in Korea.

    This year's priority issue was how to bring Ganhwa Seon to the international level through various means, especially books.

    ``In terms of information, it is hard to find. There are a number of books translated in English, but it's hard to know where to start,'' Roger Shepherd, who has been visiting Korean temples and studying Korean Buddhism for the past year, told The Korea Times.

    Compared to Japanese Zen and Chinese Chan, Korean Seon is not well known outside of Korea, mostly because there are less English translations of the methods compared to its two counterparts.

    ``It is a shame that Korean Buddhism is less known in the world. That is why it is important to translate Korean Buddhist scripts and methods,'' said Ven. Won Chul, director of the Research Institute for Buddhist Studies.

    Jhin Jean Woo-kee, the director of the Korea Institute of Buddhist English Translation and one of the speakers, has been working on a translation of ``Ganhwa Seon,'' the Order's method guidebook for monks and Buddhists.

    ``Ganhwa Seon has been translated into English as to share the teachings with the world. We have been working on the translation for the past two years and we are finished with the first draft,'' she said.

    Jhin offered ideas on how to bring Ganhwa Seon closer to the West, mentioning the need for translations, an English Buddhist dictionary and even an English Buddhist newspaper.







    Along with Jhin, French meditation expert Martine Batchelor and Ven. Chung An from Wonkwang Temple in Hungary also expressed their thoughts and ideas on spreading Korean Buddhism and Ganwha Seon effectively.

    Living as a Buddhist nun for 10 years in Korea, Batchelor said she benefited greatly from Ganhwa Seon and that she tried her best to share the knowledge and experience of the method. One of Batchelor's ideas was to publish not just one translation of the Buddhist method, but also follow-up books that could help everyone, from children and beginners to longtime practitioners.

    ``I suspect that a small book of Korean (Seon) stories could prove to be popular. Life stories of great Korean (Seon) masters could also be inspiring for practitioners. It would be interesting to have more translations of classical texts by important Korean Buddhist masters as well as contemporary writings of modern Seon masters,'' she said.

    Meanwhile, Ven. Chung An stressed the importance of the overall practice of Ganhwa Seon and effective ways to teach it to foreign Buddhists.

    ``Though there are a multitude of books about the practice, they turn out to be unsuitable substitutes to living teaching and a realized teacher. To teach Ganhwa Seon, the methods have to be simple, clear and gradual,'' he said.

    ``The key factor to gain general recognition in the West is to emphasize the importance of mind quality. The concept of mind quality serves as a bridge to look inside, looking for our basic nature in the high quality, clear mind.''

    The English translation of ``Ganwha Seon'' will be out in stores in late 2010.

    Excerpt: Curator Adriana Proser on the relationship between Buddhist art and sacred site. (1 min, 57 sec.)

    NEW YORK, March 15, 2010 - Throughout the Buddhist world, the objects that resonate most closely with Buddhist pilgrims are those related to the sacred sites, the journey, merit, mementos and sacred bonds, says Adriana Proser, Asia Society Museum curator.

    At a lecture held on the opening night of Asia Society Museum’s Pilgrimage and Buddhist Art, and introduced by Tom Phelps, director of the Division of Public Programs at the National Endowment for the Humanities, Proser spoke on the sites, the pilgrims, and the journeys that have inspired Buddhist art across Asia. 

    The historical Buddha Shakyamuni was “the quintessential Buddhist pilgrim," said Proser. She presented sculptures from India and ancient Gandhara that depicted the Buddha at the sites of his enlightenment at Bodh Gaya, and his first sermon at Sarnath. These major places of pilgrimage are “teeming with pilgrims,” to this day. When the Buddha passed away, his remains were placed in beautifully crafted reliquaries and enshrined in funerary mounds known as stupas. The stupas and reliquaries became new, widespread pilgrimage sites.

    Proser showed images of pilgrims and examples of the precious equipment they carried to sacred stupas, mountains, and monasteries.  A print by Katsushika Hokusai depicted climbers on Mount Fuji, making the pilgrimage understood as “travel from this world of the living to the world of the dead and back.”  Tibetan pilgrims carry prayer wheels that generate spiritual merit and offer protection from “falling off of cliffs or being attacked by wild animals.”

    What is a pilgrim to do if a pilgrimage site is inaccessible? Mandalas, diagrams of sacred sites, allowed a Buddhist believer to carry out a journey “without his or her feet ever touching the ground.”  Those who did make a demanding trip brought back mementos, such as votive plaques stamped with images of the Buddha. Devout Buddhists might be buried with their souvenirs. As Proser concluded, “a pilgrim’s journey … will continue past death to enlightenment.”

    Jogye Order Head Ven. Jaseung Leaves for Pyongyang, North Korea

    |
     “To lay the fertile ground for mutual understanding.”
     Ven. Jaseung left on the 9:15 a.m. plane on January 30 from Incheon to arrive in Pyongyang at 3:20 p.m. via Beijing. Before departure, he held a service at the Incheon International Airport dharma center to present the Aspiration Prayer for Mutual Understanding and Harmony. 
     From the prayer Ven. Jaseung read, “Our fatherland is the only nation in the world that is divided and live oppose to each other. The Korean people and all the world’s people wish for the South and North to meet without conditions to walk the path of sincere understanding and harmony and to walk the path of unification.”
     Ven. Jaseung said, “Today I leave with the conviction that understand and harmony must be applied in the actual place. I follow the example of Lord Buddha who through out his life, showed the path of happiness in the actual suffering world.” He continued, “I hope this will be a turning point for cultural and Buddhist exchange between the North and South, and lay the fertile soil for all the citizens of the North and South to open their hearts with gladness for mutual understanding. I hope that all Koreans can come together in union to break open the stream of mutual exchange to establish genuine peace and unification.”
    This visit came about at the invitation of North Korea’s Committee for Ethnic Reestablishment. Ven. Jaseung, Ven. Yeongdam (head of Dept. of Administrative Affairs), Ven. Hyekeong (head of Dept. Social Affairs), Hainsa Temple abbot Ven. Seongak, and other Jogye Order leaders visited Pyongyang for four days and three nights. The trip finished on February 2. The group met with members of the Committee for Ethnic Reestablishment and the North’s Joseon Buddhist Association to devise ways to increase activity between the two nations.

    [Answer]Seongcheol Zen master’s critical view on the Theory of Pojo’s Sudden Enlightenment

    The question of students in the Zen school in September 21, 2005:

    This is the review request for the paperSeongcheol Zen master’s critical view on the Theory of Pojo’s Sudden Enlightenmentwritten by Chung Kyong Kyu. While arranging documents, we found that the contents and the name of writer were missed. We apologize to the questioner for it. The questioner is a student of Zen school. He asked for the review because he wanted to know whether his understanding on the paper of Chung Kyong Kyu is objective or not.

     

    Paper: http://kr.buddhism.org/read.cgi?board=Abhidhamma&y_number=63&nnew=2

     

    The Answer of Buddhist Scripture translation Societies, in April, 19, 2006: We may write a paper lightly or seriously according to our style. In this regard, the paper of Chung Kyong Kyu is sharp in his writing style but his writing responds to the counterpart’s argument too elaborately so that his writing seems to lose his attraction.

     

    Even though we need to match the counterpart’s tone, it will not give the excuse to the unreasonable view and cannot provide a way to escape the heretical view like gradual cultivation theory.

     

    Anyway, the valuable paperSeongcheol Zen master’s critical view on the Theory of Pojo’s Sudden Enlightenmentmust be an established theory that reveals the root of good behavior in his previous life. It cannot be written only with memorizing and learning. In fact, in terms of the Sudden Enlightenment and Gradual Cultivation, the completion of ‘Gradual Cultivation’ was originally impossible because the original word of this Sanskrit, Dhū’or ‘Krt’ is the sound, which is generated when bamboo is split at one time. The meaning of this word puts its origin in the onomatopoeic word, Dhū.   

     

    Early translators tried to ensure the equivalence of meaning of a word about Dhū. So, they translated this word with cultivation (), which is ahead of “Cut-off()” or “Breakdown()”. The word, can be translated into practice or cultivation. However, the meaning of it implies the dull sound of bamboo split. Gradual Cultivation is inconsistent because ‘gradual’ represents the gradual flow of time, but cultivation implies the meaning of moment. Gradual Cultivation is just futile words like rabbit horn in which the combination of gradual + cultivation is nonsense.  

     

    In terms of the combination of the verb and noun, the single and rightful illustration of Buddhist cultivation in practice is the ‘Sudden Enlightenment’ or ‘Sudden Cultivation’ which is the broad translation of Sanskrit, Dhū. In this, verb Dhū and Krt, implying ‘breakdown’ and ‘cut-off’ are combined. Sudden Cultivation is the entity of causes in mind that puts the observing mind in the absence of the worldly desires. Sudden Cultivation is not the opposing words of Gradual Cultivation, whose meaning is decided in its use. It is the proposition to exchange, satisfying self awakening and awakening of others.    

     

    Seeing the context of misrepresentation of ‘Sudden Cultivation’, we can compare it with the blind stanza written by Shen Hsiu, “Our body is the Bodhi-tree, and our mind is the mirror. Carefully we wipe them hour to hour in order to let no dust alight”. Like this, we can misunderstand the cultivation of mind with the study of cut-off(resolution).  

     

    Of course, it is interpreted that Dhū, which is the split sound of bamboo, expresses the cultivation or practice as great monk, Gyubong mentioned. However, it is based on Hua-yen-ching, recommending experience of Buddhism doctrine for the establishment of Buddhist law based on the true doctrine. For this reason, we should not be farfetched by saying that Zen school has divided practice into ‘Sudden Cultivation’ and ‘Gradual Cultivation’. Seongcheol Zen master has said that ‘Gradual cultivation is mere succession of words. It is not different from the teaching that the meaning of words in cultivation () should be expressed with the hypothesis for delivering its principle to lay people. Accordingly, if we are caught in the thinking ‘the Gradual Cultivation is also the way of study and Zen Buddhist meditation’, it is truly wrong.  

     

    To the conclusion, is the result of misunderstanding about the transference and it is the mere of a sort of hallucination. Whether it is solemn or not, it is just like the Fruit of Poisonous Tree, which undermines the upright spirit of Zen practice. People who like forming a faction argue Gradual Cultivation. However, it cannot be even dubbed with the succession of words in the Zen school. We can know it if we think a little about the question “How can we lead others’ awakening without self awakening?”
