Abstract

ORIG CZ

V originále

The concept of “confluences” brining to mind an image of river and the joining of streams, I wish to employ the various images of waterways – rivers, streams, and currents – flowing in the Chinese Chan and Japanese Zen tradition. Inspecting the writings of Zen master Dōgen 道元禅師 (1200–1253) of the Sōtō school, I will present examples from both his Chinese and Sino-Japanese texts to illustrate the various symbols and meanings behind waters and rivers.
