Zen Reading Group at 2015 American Academy of Religion in Atlanta, Nov. 21, 2015



I am going to join a Zen reading group at the upcoming AAR meeting in Atlanta. I will present a short encounter dialogue (jiyuan wenda 機緣問答) between Miyun Yuanwu 密雲圓悟 and Hanyue Fazang 漢月法藏, who were involved in a fierce dispute about the principle of Linji teaching (Linji zongzhi 臨濟宗旨). Miyun was the dharma grandfather of Yinyuan.
