Abstract | The present study inquires the experience of silence in the Chinese Chan (Zen) school of Buddhism. In which moments does a Chan monk experience the silence, and what does he experience exactly? To answer these questions, the a. considers autobiographical documents written by three Buddhist masters across Chinese history: Xueyan Zuqin (1215-1287), Hanshan Deqing (1546-1623), and Laiguo (1881-1953). This documentary form of religious literature will not only give us the opportunity to get as close as possible to the inner world of Buddhist practitioners, but it will also allow us to analyse the way in which they have decided to recount this experience, and to investigate the function of these narratives. |
