Could the picture in the article be considered one? That article is very short of examples from Asia, so if anyone knows any.... Johnbod 14:31, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
Deletion of "Stories" section
[edit]I have deleted this section as the stories are copied word-for-word from Zen Flesh, Zen Bones (pp19 and 58 in my paperback edition). The original stories, in Japanese, may be public domain but this English translation is certainly not. It was published in 1957. --MichaelMaggs (talk) 21:02, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
Justification for changing the reading of 指 from "shin" to "shi".
[edit]I am not an expert on Japanese kanji readings, but I think there was a typo in the reading given for the caption of the scroll calligraphy that appears at the top-right of the page. Specifically, the reading given for the character 指 is "shin", but I believe the correct reading is actually "shi".
For example, the Japanese language version of this article gives the reading of 指 as し which corresponds to "shi" in romaji.
Similarly, kotobank.jp has this exact phrase, and likewise gives the reading for 指 as し.

Cult Buddhist
[edit]Hakuin wasn't a Zen Master, he was a cult Buddhist.
Hakuin implemented a "ritual koan answer" system in his church so that "masters" could be ordained rather than muck about with dharma transmission.
It isn't a surprise then that Hakuin's church produced sexual predators: r/zen/wiki/sexpredators

For future usage
[edit]Ming Buddhism in Edo Japan: The Chinese Founding Masters of the Japanese Obaku School:
Finally, consideration will be extended to how Ōbaku models were absorbed by Kogetsu Zenzai (1667-1751) and his disciples, eventually only to be overwhelmed by Hakuin Ekaku's (1685-1768) line, which then went on to become the dominant one of Edo, and therefore modern Rinzai Zen.
