Leaving for the Rising Sun: Chinese Zen Master Yinyuan and the Authenticity Crisis in Early Modern East Asia
In 1654 Zen Master Yinyuan traveled from China to Japan. Seven years later his monastery, Manpukuji, was built and he had founded his own tradition called Obaku. Leaving for the Rising Sun tells the story of the tremendous obstacles he faced, drawing parallels between his experiences and the broader political and cultural context in which he lived.
