265 Early Chan (Zen) Buddhism

265 Early Chan (Zen) Buddhism
Course Description
Chan Buddhism was not simply imported to China from Central and South Asian forms of Buddhism, but emerged out of the use of Daoist metaphors and vocabulary to translate and interpret Buddhist texts. This course examines the early Chan tradition, through reading of early Chan texts, and explores its connections with Daoism. (Same as Religion 265.)
