early pattern pattern chaplains prison my duncan actually start of a lot of credit a lot chronological interests
and most of my work is not a nineteenth twentieth century japanese buddhism and i thought what i would kill why don't we tried to come
what are you
decided to do is to go to a resource i've used quite a bit in my own work on our history of modern japanese buddhism and take a look at the longest product gately what is newspaper japan and with with out there is a daily british newspapers protection to what is called the buddhist times which is no longer pink eye
the others on tap shoe guy with for domestic and foreign prisoners daily which started eighteen ninety five and what i thought i would do it again this is something i've done in the past and executive to track my academic career i think for three libraries and country to help
a full run of this newspaper yeah you know this waterfront where it was predator students and because number one right now teaching and the carbon as well anyway
i decided to call me i can tend to look at this newspaper
for in the period the week before suzuki roshi came in great instincts came on if you left your camp david chadwick hard to tell them this may twenty first and was derived many twenty third something like
accept that
okay
and i may twenty third nineteen fifty nine
sorry i went and started looking at school maybe a week back from that period and normally when i'm done this past that it's actually rather tedious learn something by doing this by poking through the daily paper
after have to pay for a week or month or whatever you got a real sense of the time you can cut up in august as for punishable wraps hand patties with a snake
he was like that they're selling just totally offense that are have any news announcements meetings
the have sort of should now have some kind of
how can be calling nine within the start of school ever find its way into this paper sorry sort of just by calling through with my new she'll get a sense of the up the time i expect that that's what i would be doing
looking at the week before suzuki roshi came starting out as to i started on or teeth started running for the pdp papers but it doesn't actually quite surprised by what i found because
i very quickly stumbled upon an article by guide if you won't remember the spinning personal level a whole a cleric was to stifle okada keyhole a scholar of shovel games out and percent i promise our university at the poor specific work here that's this
teach or products of the president of problems our like okada matsunaga wrote books and japanese much trouble getting so as well as variety of topics for example foundational autism is action in history and religious studies also like as teach her boston and rose through the ranks promise our
want to become the president of the junior college there's no longer term in college
and if you use the probably because the rest of government that it was at the time at junior college and he was president was
and he served as an officer arctic agent or period of time
no doubt as i've mentioned many of you will have heard about this you are summarily translator of some of tolkien's writings chicago gets us to be monkey and capital you have changed into english as early as nineteen fifty six matsunaga contributors an essay to about you might have put them in english and to the contributions from a number of other inaudible time
i have years of pumps group purchase outreach for casino quot product machine shop
nineteen fifty eight one year before spooky roshi headed to san francisco mathematica published one of the earliest english language works devoted to the check this out to approach to snap was about eight photocopies of this bot must have been important for you folks were here back in the sixties fifties was one of the field
six to eight photocopies pattern of a librarian notice is part of his efforts to bring attention to what we will see astronomic considered a neglected stream of sand in the west
and the final paycheck for classified as mr best or professor on what his philosophy and history of sam wilson
the book which was published by the way what a society press our sleeves i'm the general history of sam
the place of token and sam buddhism
a brief historical survey of sand the standpoint of coke and and as ideas on time as long as essay on which would you pass plus translations of some facet was of jumbo cancer
a clear effort to introduce material that was an integral part of the so contextual canon matsunaga also translated thousand changing she shouted some little pride of us are my of this book
we can have can make seventeen and continually down the nineteenth just a few days the forces of erosion headed to san francisco from japan yeah i just have to going for published plastic gardeners two part article the international character of salt understand the lead article on the front page of the paper you can see them article
the bottom
like the excitement so i can have started to paint a two part article to to pacers intervening thing where i wasn't there and then i hold on the problem ten
the article was accompanied on the first by and clippers front page article detailing the problems westerners europeans and americans and sitting thousand and four and half lovers direction was an article about is an appropriate for americans and europeans to sit in chairs because as a chairs and song into can make a broader interest among the yours
and more speculatively the reverse of to guide follow the paper also depleted and i'm point com or procedures view that included prefer serial articles concerning the current conditions of for israel taiwan catlike of temples the state of the temples in taiwan and saw
the contents of promised to nautical article will not surprised many of you i'm certain
many ways the articles really a summary of chair and japanese of the introductory material first published night and fifty eight in his book the of approach to stab back
america begins with a quick outline of the main trends you personally present japanese buddhism and the post-world war two era
these work increased internationalization of buddhism he was a greater ease and speed of travel enhance communication and frequent overseas conferences like this according to marca japanese buddhism almost becoming more unified because of the emphasis on foundational criticism some indian person for this methods or
regions
we use that term loosely and clarification of shocking when it's original teachings clarification of the history of mahayana buddhism and
a growing number of academic critics of various japanese press corps stop promoting classifications of the teachers were for example of ten dice school facts about the longest so which was being the ultimate teach
it was also hit out to increase tolerance of religious difference
an increase tolerance and want that religion challenge
which lives sort of unification of some
transcendence of sectarian is a sort
a third possibility contentment that there was a trend towards emerging of clerical and play roles and it's the latest sensation or secularization or check his prison which he attributed to a better understanding of the spirit of my icon i'm not understanding of bodhisattva precepts and greater emphasis on the practice of buddhism
everyday life
looking overseas must not know noted the more prominent symbol in europe the united states which he to be attributed to the prestigious efforts of d t suzuki
we should remember this context and sixty eight fifty nine collecting eight fifty nine or important interest in history of western stand for number of reasons although i'm doubt we'll talk about us context later on today i'll just for quality with that in nineteen fifty seven alan watts published his famous work the way of sam
it was summer of ninety and fifty eight well regarded literary journal in chicago review published especially issue about seventy because we get articles by alan watts it is spooky his amounts of shinichi chair carolina
gary snyder and way way to among others
as i've mentioned before and nineteen fifty eight nostrand are going to self published the soldier approached as well as well i'm not certain whether this work which was published in japan by laymen what is protests and put a slight press received much attention in europe for the u s
of equal significance was the publication and nineteen fifty nine years as if you actually arrived in america of the revised edition of d t suzuki nineteen thirty eight work which was entitled at that time times and its influence on japanese culture a canadian by which we now know the work presented in japanese culture
the book received considerable attention as it was reputed magazines and journals ranging from the specialize for example for our future harper journal asiatic studies for the general artistic and literary for example if a nation
magazine reviewers make clear that suzuki's book was part with new growing fascination with comparing the surging interest in send a fascination with catholic theology and the pre world war two period lincoln kirstein noted in the nation that quote seven has become the conversation piece of the late fifties
is thompson was of the late thirties was quote
language that will be familiar to most of us who became interested in entering the sixties seventies and eighties not even later matsunaga attributed the popularity of sam in europe and united states spends ability to surface and humanizing force in opposition to determine and technological mechanical civilization that the mass production or error-free
a senior in the post atom bomb europe
in this article reflecting much of what not can see and the t suzuki writings astronomical contrasted scientific mechanical culture with quite he asserted where the core values of saudi culture simplicity profanity right of freedom alluding to the works of d t suzuki is about sixteen each in others
massive mecca also wrote of appeal of what he calls same culture to several related arts that they had come to be defined in the west as a counteract enforced the prevailing magnetization and marginalization of technological society
according to my chicago seven cultures purchase made that a perfect and essential antidote to a culture that was becoming complicated mass produced a superficial the sand arts sound itself but a lot of westerners trapped in a piece of mechanization and bureaucracy access to the final freedom at last
according to must have no desire
despite the widespread and growing appeal of in the west master naga as a partisan of the of school i know here is a contradiction with this assertion of a growing of sectarianism an article where you it comes down to say yes it's kind of sectarian religious photo
he was not entirely satisfied with the direction western standard taken during at the date the sort of sight of the west was primarily written side or more specifically according to matsunaga what he calls and quotes pts to silky sam matsunaga but the fact that almost no attention has been intended to target
a particular mistress to suit
while expressing gratitude for the foundation laid by d t suzuki but as to pack noted that westerners like alan watts and the german oscar bridal now turn their attention to token
i was right for circle clerics to expose students to perform the piece of token and to disseminate the practice of zazen the west standing at the pinnacle of champion just thought tokens for us is presented in such spectacles of the struggle cancer cancers gucci would help counteract the fear i mean to disappointment that
accompanied the rise of mechanical scientific thought i don't know how much you
these people disappeared as i think it's only increase and
this is right or road
that's part of what he dubbed the second stage of of the west mathematica coworkers send missionaries to the west who would bring a specific sort of orleans oriented constellation of skills and knowledge because are the outlines what kind of missionaries duplicate what should be the character of these folks were going to lead the pioneer the sec
and wave of protests in the west
the new set of teachers heading to the west should according to master pack at number one have the vulnerability could explain the philosophical and religious implications of shop camisole to be able to stress the importance of and and carefully explain that product is so good recipes could experience it fully indirectly
three have full command of english for lectures conversation and other interactions required to transmits ten for be thoroughly familiar with western culture
here's the western culture and thought
study science economics politics and a comprehensively enough to have a command the most vocabularies for the presentation of the second in the west
the history politics economics classroom so so i will be familiar with propitious like that is europe like states and finally districts only be important stout of emphasis a quote from the article preaching with their body palace near character and continue to polish their character cultivate themselves
can maintain unceasingly passionate way seeking right so this knows short order now what he was asking for for folks to respond him he wanted to come and spread sometimes i'm on the west
for purposes of our discussion at this conference what i don't noteworthy about the article by matsunaga is just how much the suggest his suggestions for prosperous nation of soldiers and were followed i've been knowingly or not by suzuki roshi i did not know vicki russian new matsunaga personally part of i know whether you
read the article published a few days before leaving san francisco most buddhist temples in japan to subscribe to do i get bumped his british newspaper but i've also witnessed many temple clerics would much rather read the sports page and a national daily paper the flag communities about the happening superior september temple
across japan
nonetheless a highly visible article may well have caught his eye as he prepared to live in sodium ultimately however whether he actually read the article is not that important to a large extent i think we have come to regard those who spread sand particularly stopped touch them in the early phase for like and nearly face broadly speaking from
nineteen fifty nine to nineteen eighties is rebels misfits and entrepreneurs re-establish set of in europe and united states in response to the demands of europeans or americans hungry for those teachings in thinking about the pre history it's not to stand in the united states we paid much less attention to the growing desire among the
japanese themselves perhaps the front of the amphitheater sacked officers like the sort of school to capitalize on what they perceived as growing and fertile export market if i can stretch this tiny bit of restrict as far as possible night from among friends here so i'm firebombings to speculate why
master this article demonstrates that not even suzuki roshi his departure percent of francisco there was at least one other relatively high ranking soto cleric a big public plans for the united states and europe that a cleric master manage to published as opinions and so does your
albeit mrs export the most probably least the late nineteen fifties japanese buddhist world to pineapple knowingly or unknowingly just thinking well she'd helped make mathematical plan reality by becoming the most successful salt a missionary in the postwar era and i'll stop there thank you for your attention

i have to ensure it can share a little bit about left you with that shelter it was too
i am now seventy years old two years older

me i'm actually were asked me giddy
what you talk about this year's
well i would be a look at
from a shame that i had to stop very much
really
i have at mosques
conclusion
contrast to be like
h

no stuttering gun
time sound
but you know
story of an accomplishment
still yeah
typesetting cousin
of course i was really inspiring says he was my father
what i think that those moments when i felt he was my fault
don't just a few chance maybe that's for sure for many people
struggling action on kids so she's very few times like really help
he was problem
he's a packet of cigarettes from all three children of how much you it's gone so you know she took a dramatic machine
that's true also for the corrosive chemical because showing that never from here vacation
but not much has gotten from my sierra
he didn't want to talk
up

nice keep keeping with an hour
how soon
yeah
but perhaps few people care for jay gatsby or for the country
yeah maybe
please was the article
right
it sure has it been
that sort of dignity
how will you not checking
right
i don't remember
it's going to be objecting to this treasure but whether they were riding on a few is running them the bike for himself but quickly pepper and situation
stage

there were times for questions later

thank you thank you very much
bar telling us those things
we appreciate
did you
how about the next speaker
duncan williams is thieves about the currently professor japanese buddhism and chair for the singer of japanese studies at university of california berkeley
his research focuses asian american food is he supposed to know several priests and priest
it works out very well order i speaking to get it
duncan
will be able to
when i get for us the contents be
the japanese american context that received suzuki roshi
no sekai school practiced extra koji temple in san francisco of
what very well aware that they are actually two congregations are there with an ex much fact infected was a little bit tension which i think maybe somebody will talk about he was very the career and i
but you know he was situation was invited
by officially invited by be japanese american congregation so poky which has a long history which i'm sure get will talk about and grab
here's the context in which he came i don't think that maybe it was realized in it he didn't arrive and nineteen fifty nine and immediately hundreds of westerners arrived to other two thousand and wisdom and everything just happen there's a war on slow process and ah he was at psychology
countries to go
a japanese no congregation there for quite a long time maybe even a lot and now you're going to change years until this building was purchased and and he painted a blue so this is that i guess your to specialty and weren't looking for a to work what you can tell us about
like what's going on at that time and what was the contracts if are taken to hear show jumping like williams thank you
well thank you very much was an injection and also thank you for organizers for allow me to be here are neither team
this funny just of socialism or reminded the sun on
i appreciate
to be here to make share a little bit about what i call so quality through some interviews acted with soccer team members or climate research in their archival documents
just to give some sense of what what is the place in the fifty nine
and the context in which had some hoshi have to give his work
some same cycle through what i am
we that describe you can see them
fraud personality must have had to be able to bridge so many different types of our community some issues and aspects of buddhist practice
one could that could be separately clearly is that decor nineteen fifty nine so good he was not a place where many non japanese americans are frequently because the small people to begin with japantown
it was kind of a closed
community i'd just like most of japanese american community at that time you know spob most of the groceries and even close and on or within the stores in japantown
closed it that way and also
what nothing awkward says before making thirty nine a number of times like thousand
the number of times that lectures on smoking and so what are or were held at somebody it's you can carry about what it's made very few times a right to emigrate before
suzuki roshi western
go made some attempts to try to reach up
it was a younger priests at that time he's still very good to a couple of local
a together prior to arrival of city or he try to make some attempts to reach out to
japanese americans
towards the top courses on calligraphy breath
the academy on his studies teachers they want that institute and a couple of sets it off with some courses in
try to to stop meditation classes there
so he was completely upset but generally speaking so good he was not a place that were welcome non japanese americans saw was not a place a focused on
the study of dog and or on zaza which is not that surprising if we consider both the context are soto zen and in japan in general
in if we considered
japanese american couples kinship so others that sent out of it is that
ninety some percent of japanese soto zen temples
fifteen thousand at that time
could not have any regular practice such as part of the capitoline
most parish temples focused on
when a stranger lives of the families associate with them
of the air funerals and memorial services the annual ah
celebrations around on your or you can
this is what an average doctor
that's a temple that circular she responded of of so that
now the training temple not have focused on the study of talk anymore or
we split of southern practice this is a pretty average stalkers and chapel you have as much smaller number of temples at that
our for that type of tree
declared
so that's one contacts in indicative of context is for japanese and american one that is that's what he was a very typical japanese over at the temple
not a smaller than your average one
had to pretend it's kind of down in l a set of shooting
which was founded prettier
checking back to me a bit larger and in los angeles and so that temple was picked your submission has caught
of social
traditional that time but most americans in town and l a and so was a in which kind of search cisco is kind of link
that satellite but for pupils
photos are so much he was also
that was the first ability
another important africa so cordially process to keep i don't
right before the war during the war and in the previous year's efforts to care so good i with somebody who was originally placed down as a surgeon and throughout the years you know like i think most likely like you can die
many people first one hundred l a surface centuries and then they come up here to to san francisco but what type of community was at once the historical background oh
don't think i could you say and japanese american capitals
the buildings one hundred and period most american
like that then can some one hundred and hawaiian islands
lately
it's a it's a comes together with immigration from japan
right
the as ever called
means you gotta gotten out the first year page unity sixty eight was the first year a japanese immigrant started to come first in a hawaiian islands primarily to work on the plantation and then offered from there too
actually all other ellie eventually became figure such francisco's the for sport that you've cost japanese americans coming to north america and the earliest
temple some first time or or found it here as a joke right back in back in the games
a primarily focused
on
and pretty period
they were for what we call a computer center gonna go on earth in english i think they've called a young man's police association catholic
young ben's put association and these are people who were primarily for a meeting of the cost society down in sitting in categories logging industry
and islands of hawaii on other pathogens and se were working men and it was started to some decades later that women have such as through what is called picture prize
marriages were arranged package japan started to pop
there's a very particular history to start up something like so coaches and history separate japanese american temples in which originally began because the third quarter century and i thought it was
very start to see a japanese young people go to these formats work hard and if the there
that nobody would take care of nobody would honor their life
and so it was that for that reason that the additionally many of the pack and quarters or just finish headquarters check on your quarters sorts of quarters included i thought that are both in the last american countries but also in south america is an equally great number of japanese went to
personal
and then also be
a new japanese emerging empire so make sure you to taiwan
taipan philippines etc japanese going to those areas is james a target of what like well you're someone of like this in a ditch headquarters in japan began to develop a climate or some kind of international affairs division that would be in charge of sending people
right so that's one context to you might want to recall it originally speaking
to try to serve their communities japanese communities abroad but by the time the author of course it's not just these men and women but now they have families and they have as families grew communities developed ethnic communities as war on japan towns for about ten be once
prior to the war and other specific creates a here and sample data
but israel template ones on the mainland time
he was in this type of contact said it was not just the funerals and memorial sort of space
the community festivals a regular job the couple of years nobody else wanted as the
generation of the american born we started with a second year christian i started to grow up and that sort that happen and at a particular time it's related to when the picture pride
this is actually twenty four oriental exclusion act were no more immigration could be possible on japan but an american or generation grows up and these temples began to pass it solely from
the oil subsidies funerals and these type
six catherine celebration to starting to look at how to transmit japanese culture values with their next generation so many of them sexually involved japanese language schools and i like teaching japanese but there was martial arts
yeah happens cultural arts became very important part of thing it's used to call it sunday school with them changed top of school or something like that but on some cases it would have some something to kind of transmit japanese culture
if possible put in a little cataclysm me back to tune to the next generation that was the kind of money purpose of these places but eventually became a one might call community centers there's a place that any was a refuge for japanese americans in substance
this is why want to get to why is difficult and and is a refuge you know lavender festival set up that or a transfusion in everything you learn
as that prevented japanese from purchasing the citizenship like european immigrants a question of she couldn't
okay citizen check already there are about the for children and their main factors that that said the temple would be the wreckage a refuge from that possible hostility for the general public where japanese language could be spoken without fear which app is
speech there
would eventually stop what you are the big things so etc it's a piano so what your community like this that you have it would be
at night
showing japanese and i still this is all became a big part of that the false identity became all about this can like a community center so that's pretty war and of course we know that was still a good kids crystallized in the war
not on the nationals but with the united states to interpret the hundred twenty thousand chapters japanese americans
there's a process in which
they put the very initial government point a deal about japanese americans and pushes is reflected in
discourse the rest after pearl harbor
this c list which was compiled and developed as good to the fbi's coordination with other intelligence agencies opposite national naval intelligence or makes you to and basically what it was submitted the and two people to be arrested in getting case of
broke out between japan and us this this was created above three years prior to for armor as a way to categorize things generally was that if you heard a complete japanese language structure which almost always patterns have attached to for example if you are a cultural arts instructor if you have
leadership roles and a community and then this is the most of the script if you are a sheet or put his priest
it would have automatically gets fbi's a-list to be rescued runaway and later have with likud actress so to hundreds of things for is prescribed address if you reject his american christian minister you are not the list okay it reflects something about the idea
typically in the couple of nights but also actually it's tripled down and looking for anything that's why because important later but the idea that america for japanese americans can assimilate into american society to drop the japanese language learn english you had to adapt in
questioning clothes and food and if you could talk to you don't your basketball or shipped over that and most importantly can recall i think picky talk up and supposed to gigantic and concert just externally assimilating to internally assimilate to perhaps it should become question
and so that was the general sense in the community and support those who picked up it's a christian is a prior to or especially during the or children were in the camps ourselves be
i you might my points for all kinds of things if your buddhist that you are allowed on privileges if you're a christian
it took something to not become christian
i took a certain stubbornness and it took a certain resistance and it took a certain but it must have to know so it's effects of later took a certain conservatism
and if there was some notion that if you a pretty progressive in the japanese got community you might actually compression
autopsies american race and the japanese american community a community was seen as someone could separate
just it leads me to this point that
when with and about public but you know there's a clash
because
you don't here with is not a japanese americans for whom pt progressive kind of repelling is concerned next comic books
community
r p to list for the japanese americans managed to keep to a certain that of japanese conservatism and so course there's gonna be some kind of
security managed to a great extent but of course at towards the end table one side
a rupture
it was completely managed but i want to act will decide to put in fact after they have somebody like sucrose it they would never have been and still quantity
an opening to my japanese an opening to group things beyond
the nevada service hero to do so sad to do our lectures on wednesday nights to that the regular lectures on all kinds of topics including in time
the show games or so so
i guess i'm with type that
it is it took somebody like i think you that checked and rechecked develop that things to
filter
the bill for a missionary after back but he was somebody who because of his particular background in japan that he had experienced any small town temple he experienced as sure you put
sewing is going to console in peace or in these are
so let us follow to a more simple type of
trading temple to a person can be able to go to fourth in haiti so much useless as the horns i'm a peak training temples from experiences that and teaching and costs to the side so approachable and i told me the other
you have been training type he's experience a colossal university and learning english
this freak
action and it sets them up wanting to serve as a missionary in nigeria
all of these things together
provided the background and the necessary ingredients i think for him to manage not only because something a bridge between jeff japan
and japanese americans is another part of it but also some of the other seems that characterize i think what emerged the bridging have a dynastic can play
our family
the saucepan to the of services to the ability to can hold all of that i think it's something that could only have picked them by somebody like solution so
can determine your father
the more clarification from several actually i was it
huh
