Book Description
In Theravada Buddhism the Buddha himself is first named as an Arahat, as were his enlightened followers, since he is free from all defilements, without greed, hatred, and delusion, rid of ignorance and craving, having no "assets" that will lead to a future birth, knowing and seeing the real here and now. This virtue shows stainless purity, true worth, and the accomplishment of the end, Nibbana. In the Pali canon, Ven. Ananda states that he has known monastics to achieve Nibbana in one of four ways: * one develops insight preceded by serenity (Pali: samatha-pubba?gama? vipassana?); * one develops serenity preceded by insight (vipassana-pubba?gama? samatha?); * one develops serenity and insight in a stepwise fashion (samatha-vipassana? yuganaddha?); * one's mind becomes seized by excitation about the Dhamma and, as a consequence, develops serenity and abandons the fetters (dhamma-uddhacca-viggahita? manasa? hoti). This is one of the few works on arhats in china and japan. Scarce.Quarto.Book 215 p. xvi pl.. Berlin, Oesterheld & Co., 1923

Book Description
Through a highly sensitive exploration of key concepts and metaphors, Bernard Faure guides Western readers in appreciating some of the more elusive aspects of the Chinese tradition of Chan Buddhism and its outgrowth, Japanese Zen. He focuses on Chan's insistence on "immediacy"--its denial of all traditional mediations, including scripture, ritual, good works--and yet shows how these mediations have always been present in Chan. Given this apparent duplicity in its discourse, Faure reveals how Chan structures its practice and doctrine on such mental paradigms as mediacy/immediacy, sudden/gradual, and center/margins.
