1 RLST 135/EAST 335 Zen Buddhism Time: M 1:30-3:30 Location: Harkness Hall, room 07 Instructor: Eric Greene eric.greene@yale.edu Office: 451 College Street, Room 309 Office hours: Wednesdays 11:30-1:30 Overview Zen ( Chan in its Chinese pronunciation) took shape as a distinctive form of Buddhism in China in the seventh century, claiming to represent a unique tradition stretching back to the Buddha. In the twelfth century, Zen spread to other parts of East Asia (especially Japan), and in the past 75 years has been one of the most popular forms of Buddhism in the West. Traditional Zen writings are among the most dramatic, profound and entertaining texts in the Buddhist tradition, and they are replete with both literary sophistication and philosophical depth. This seminar will present an introduction to the Zen tradition, with a focus on the reading and interpretation of primary texts (in English translation), including background readings in Buddhist history and philosophy, as well as many examples of famous Zen literature, such as, among others, the enigmatic dialogs known as koans. Our readings of Zen texts will focus on the classic writings of Chinese Zen masters from the 8 th -13 th centuries. We will, however, also give considerable attention to Zen as a form of Buddhist monasticism, and in this section of the course we will focus on Zen as it is found in contemporary Japan as well as in Korea. Finally, we will also consider various questions concerning the way that Zen has been presented in the modern Western world, and the historical, cultural, and interpretive forces that have shaped its reception. Two films, both concerning Zen in contemporary Japan, will supplement our readings. Prerequisites None. Grading Weekly response papers: 60% In-class presentation: 15% Final exam: 25% 1
2 Weekly papers Each week everyone must submit a 700-word essay pertaining to the assigned primary texts, in response to one or more questions that I will distribute. These essays will relate to the materials, that we have not yet discussed in class. The purpose of the essays is to make you read and think about the material ahead of time, and thereby prepare everyone for a productive discussion. Your task in writing the essays is to show that: 1) you have read the material, 2) you have thought about the significance of the material, and 3) that you have taken the time to express yourself clearly. You will not be penalized for not understanding the readings. As long as you do all three of the above tasks you will get full marks of 10/10. But you do need to do them all, because they are a major part of your grade (there will be 10 essays, so each one is worth 6% of your final grade). Essays must be submitted on paper, at the beginning of class. Late papers will not be accepted. If you have a dean s excuse, you will be permitted to write a make-up paper on a different topic/question. Presentation Each student will co-lead (with another student) the discussion for one class during the semester. You will not need to prepare a written essay that week, but you will be expected to address the content of the assigned essay question as part of your introduction to the material for that week. The main task of the presentations will be to introduce us to the primary readings and raise questions that can then serve as a starting point for our discussion. Attendance Although attendance and participation are not formal parts of your grade, you must attend class in order to submit your weekly paper, and I expect everyone to attend all class meetings. In-class computer policy Computers are not permitted in class. Materials Required books: Buswell, Robert E. The Zen Monastic Experience: Buddhist Practice in Contemporary Korea. Princeton, N.J.: Princeton University Press, Herrigel, Eugen. Zen in the Art of Archery. New York: Vintage Books, Both of these books can be purchased used from Amazon for a few dollars each. We will not need them until much later in the course, but please buy them NOW so that you will have them when we do. (I have had terrible luck in the past using the Yale bookstore things not ordered on time, wrong books, etc. Since we do not need the books right away, we will just take matters into our own hands this semester). 2
3 Coursepack A large PDF file containing all of the primary readings will be placed on our Classes V2 site. You will need to print out a hard copy of these readings because you will need to have them with you in class. Please take the PDF file to a copy shop (such as TYCO printing at 262 Elm Street), print out all the pages, and then have them bound (I do recommend getting them bound - it will make your life easier). This will cost around $30. Supplemental readings A variety of secondary sources pertaining to the primary readings each week will be posted to our Classes V2 site. Some of these will be officially required, many others are optional. A few such readings, as noted in the syllabus, are available as ebooks through the library. Other Resources When reading primary texts about Buddhism or Zen, you are liable to encounter many strange and unfamiliar terms. Oftentimes knowing what these words mean is essential for understanding. Several recommended places to look for help include: The index and glossary to Rupert Gethin s, The Foundations of Buddhism Buswell, Robert E., ed. Encyclopedia of Buddhism. New York: Macmillan Reference, USA, (available as an e-resource through ORBIS) Buswell, Robert E., and Donald S. Lopez. The Princeton Dictionary of Buddhism (available as an e-resource through ORBIS). Use the above sources when looking for supplementary information, or definitions of unfamiliar terms. The wider world of the internet is teeming with information about Buddhism, but it is not always reliable. Statement on Academic Integrity (Yale College Undergraduate Regulations, edition, pp.43-44) If one uses a source for a paper, one must acknowledge it. What counts as a source varies greatly depending on the assignment, but the list certainly includes readings, lectures, websites, conversations, interviews, and other students papers... In all situations, students who are confused about the specific punctuation and formatting must nonetheless make clear in written work where they have borrowed from others whether it be a matter of data, opinions, questions, ideas, or specific language. This obligation holds whether the sources are published or unpublished. Submission of an entire paper prepared by someone else is an especially egregious form of plagiarism, and is grounds for the imposition of a particularly serious penalty, including expulsion from the University. 3
