 Zen
In Japan the most 'Chinese' form of Zen is Obaku, but the better-known traditions are Rinzai and Soto, both founded by Tendai-trained monks.
Techniques of realising this innate enlightenment are many and various, and the differences between 'schools' of Zen are differences of lineage rather than differences of doctrine or practice.
All three are monastic traditions employing standard Zen techniques including strict monastic discipline, sitting meditation, koan study and the personal spiritual guidance of a Zen Master.

The founder of the Obaku School of Zen Buddhism in Japan, Zen Master Ingen, came to Nagasaki from China in 1654 (Jo'o 3).
In Fujian Province in China, the temple Wanfusi (J: Manpukuji) on Mount Obaku was a center for the practice of Rinzai Zen, and was led by the Zen Master Ingen, whose influence and fame in the world of Zen were known even in Japan.
Shogun Tokugawa Ietsuna, a devout Buddhist, requested that Ingen remain in Japan, and in 1661 (Kanbun 1), the Zen Master established the monastery Manpukuji in Uji, south of Kyoto.

 Week Ten: Obaku
Obaku is a branch of Zen, but very different from the school in its pristine form (which we will look at next week).
The chief difference from earlier Zen was in the use of prayer (nenbutsu) as well as meditation.

 Huang Po and Lin Chi story
Rinzai saw Obaku three times and each time the same treatment was accorded him, and poor Rinzai was not any the wiser.
Rinzai saw the master as he was told and asked: "What is the principle of Buddhism?" Even before he could finish the question, Obaku gave him several blows.
His Zen-experience shows some interesting features which may be considered in a way typically orthodox in those days when the ko-an system of Zen discipline was not yet in vogue.

Master Obaku then continued to walk slowly throughout the zendo, observing attentively, seeing many different Dharma students’ sitting postures, and perhaps sensing some kind of vibration, he went to the upper part of the hall and watched the head monk as he sat in zazen.
Each of these three figures - Rinzai, Obaku, and the head monk - are teaching us how to cultivate our state of mind, each in their own way.
We can be confident that Master Rinzai and the head monk and of course their teacher Obaku knew these vows very well.

Along with his disciples MOKUAN SHOTO and SOKUHI NYOITSU, he was extolled as one of the Obaku no Sanpitsu (‘Three Brushes of Obaku’), the three principal calligraphers of the Obaku Zen school.
He was a leading southern Chinese Buddhist master who, not long after the end of the Ming period (1368–1644), emigrated to Nagasaki where, in the early 17th century, a community of Chinese merchants had established three Chinese Buddhist temples.
A search for his father, who had disappeared when he was five, brought him at the age of 20 to a temple on Mt Putuo (Zhoushan Archipelago, off the coast of Zhejiang Prov.), where, it is recorded, he served tea to the monks.

Mokuan’s religious lineage grew to dominate the Obaku Zen school well into the 19th century.
Mokuan was ordained at the age of 18 (19 by Chinese reckoning) and studied under the eminent Chinese monks Miyun Yuanwu (1566–1642) and Feiyin Tongrong (1593–1661) before training at Wanfu si on Mt Huangbo (Fujian Province) under Ingen.

He completely exhausted himself for your sake.'” Spiritually Obaku became naked and did as much as he could possibly do for a young monk known as Rinzai.
The Master replied, “No, I don't know what to ask.” For three years, he was living in Obaku's mountain and doing zazen patiently, and until the head monk asked him, he never went for dokusan.
One possibility is that, as a dharma cousin living at the same time, somehow Obaku knew Daigu's style of teaching.

A shout or a blow with a stick certainly can do it, but pretty soon everybody was so impressed with Rinzai's shout that they started shouting too, and it became a Zen cliche.
I asked a perfectly good question - "What is the essential teaching of the Buddha?" - but that old man kept hitting me? And this teacher looks at him and says, you idiot, you didn't do anything wrong - that was the answer!
That's what the word "white" means is all I can say.
