  From the Publisher
  How Zen Became Zen takes a novel approach to
understanding one of the most crucial developments in Zen Buddhism: the dispute over the nature of enlightenment that
erupted within the Chinese Chan (Zen) school in the twelfth century. The famous Linji (Rinzai) Chan master Dahui Zonggao
(1089-1163) railed against "heretical silent illumination Chan" and strongly advocated kanhua (kōan) meditation as an
antidote. In this fascinating study, Morten Schlūtter shows that Dahui's target was the Caodong (Sōtō) Chan
tradition that had been revived and reinvented in the early twelfth century, and that silent meditation was an approach
to practice and enlightenment that originated within this "new" Chan tradition. Schlūtter has written a refreshingly
accessible account of the intricacies of the dispute, which is still reverberating through modern Zen in both Asia and
the West. Dahui and his opponents' arguments for their respective positions come across in this book in as earnest and
relevant a manner as they must have seemed almost nine hundred years ago. Although much of the book is devoted to
illuminating the doctrinal and soteriological issues behind the enlightenment dispute, Schlūtter makes the case that
the dispute must be understood in the context of government policies toward Buddhism, economic factors, and social
changes. He analyzes the remarkable ascent of Chan during the first centuries of the Song dynasty, when it became the
dominant form of elite monastic Buddhism, and demonstrates that secular educated elites came to control the critical
transmission from master to disciple ("procreation" as Schlūtter terms it) in the Chan School.
  
  From
the Back Cover
  "This is an important book that will significantly contribute to our knowledge of Song-dynasty
Buddhism. It joins a growing body of work that seeks to place the development of Buddhism (and particularly Chan) within
its broader social and cultural history. Schlütter's research into a wide range of source materials is meticulous and
thorough. Because of the important connections he draws among the state, independent (or local) literati, and Buddhist
monks, this work has the potential to appeal to a wide audience of scholars beyond the field of Buddhism, including
social, institutional, and intellectual historians of the Song." --Ellen Neskar, Sarah Lawrence College
  "Scholars
have been telling each other for years that it was during the Song dynasty in China (960-1279) that Zen, or Chan,
Buddhism achieved its true `golden age,' but it is only with Morten Schlütter's wonderful new book that we get an
explanation of how this was actually so. Based on very thorough and in many ways groundbreaking new research,
Schlütter weaves an intricate and convincing fabric of relationships between Chan approaches to meditation and
self-cultivation, styles of lineage transmission and monastic administration, and interaction with lay leaders and
political systems. This book is a delightful read book that will form a cornerstone of Chan studies for years to come."
--John McRae, author of The Northern School and the Formation of Early Chan Buddhism and Seeing through Zen --This text
