Opis
Musings and autobiographically informed commentary on the human condition through the lens of the Kannon-gyo - chapter 25 of the Lotus Sutra - connecting Zen and Pure Land Buddhism through the practice of venerating and chanting the names of buddhas and bodhisattvas.
The Kannon-gyo is chapter 25 of the Lotus Sutra, focused on the bodhisattva of compassion, Avalokiteshvara - known in China as Guanyin, and in Japan as Kannon or Kanzeon. The text describes the many ways in which calling out the bodhisattva's name, Namu Kanzeon Bosatsu, can relieve suffering.
Most schools of Zen Buddhism, and especially the Soto school, typically avoid practices such as chanting the names of buddhas and bodhisattvas, along with venerating such figures. The eminent Soto Zen master Kosho Uchiyama Roshi, however, came to appreciate the Kannon-gyo and its related practices during times when he could not practice zazen, or formal sitting meditation. While doing hard physical labor early in his career, he turned to reciting Kannon's name, as recommended in the text of the Kannon-gyo.
Later in life, Uchiyama Roshi suffered from illness that again prevented him from practicing formal Zen, and he returned once more to the Kannon-gyo and the practice of chanting. He went so far as to assert that chanting Kannon's name is completely equivalent to zazen, the two practices simply two sides of the same coin - a revolutionary idea seemingly at odds with Zen tradition.
Chanting practice is especially accessible, as it can be done while working, traveling, suffering from illness, or during other activities that might ordinarily hinder formal Zen practice. With these practices, the Kannon-gyo, and Kannon herself as a backdrop, Uchiyama Roshi reflects on the purposes of religion, the goals of religious practice, and the meaning of enlightenment - and their deep relation to suffering itself.
