Zen Buddhism in Japan
Three Main Schools of Zen
There are three main traditional schools of Zen in Japan, each with its own background and specificities. The Soto Sect Soto is the largest of the sects. Historically practiced by the lower classes, artists, and poets, the Soto sect emphasizes the practice of sitting meditation known as zazen. Practitioners face a wall or a curtain during this meditation. The Rinzai School Traditionally practiced by the samurai caste, the Rinzai School include the presence of Koan, a kind of short and paradoxical sentence that cannot be solved intellectually. However, those are usually introduced only after good posture and concentration were achieved during the seated meditation. The Obaku Sect The smallest of the sects, the Obaku sect was formed by a small group made up of Buddhist masters from China and Japanese students at the Manpuku Temple (Manpuku-ji). To this day, those in the Obaku sect continue to chant sutras in the Chinese language.

Gyoban (Japanese, Yuban Chinese) Brought into Japanese Zen temples from China during the Ming Dynasty. These large wooden fish would be struck to call monks like a bell. The fish is symbolic of "wakefulness" as it never sleeps. Reminding monks to stay on track with their training and tasks. #gyoban #yuban #woodenfish #mahayana #manpukuji #zen #zentemple #pureland #chan #buddhism #buddhisttemple #obakuzen #obaku #黄檗宗 #黄檗山萬福寺 #禅文化 #禅宗 #禅寺 #宇治 #京都 #関西 #日本 (at 黄檗山萬福寺) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVR80gsv_ZY/?utm_medium=tumblr

Manpuku-ji Temple 黄檗山萬福寺 por Patrick Vierthaler Por Flickr: Head Temple of the Ôbaku Zen-School of Japanese Buddhism. This major school came to Japan very late in 1661. It's temple show a completely different style - that of Ming China - than the more famous temples of Japanese Rinzai and Soutou schools (Tang and Song China) of Zen-Buddhism.
