De reis van Xuan Zang (1)

Ik ben niet zo vertrouwd met het boeddhisme, maar dankzij een blogje van Kees Alders weet ik dat in de eerste eeuw van onze jaartelling de boeddhistische stroming die bekendstaat als Mahayana zich vanuit de Punjab verspreidde tot in China. (Ik begrijp dat aanhangers van deze stroming denken dat niet alleen Boeddha, maar ieder mens in staat is verlicht te raken, en dat ze iemand die daarnaar streeft een Bodhisattva noemen.) De verspreiding van deze ideeën richting China was mogelijk doordat Centraal-Azië én de Punjab waren verenigd in het rijk van de Kushana’s.

Pelgrim en boekenzoeker

Uiteraard waren er vrome Chinese boeddhisten die geïnteresseerd waren in het land waar hun levensbeschouwelijke opvattingen waren ontstaan. Talloze pelgrims trokken over de Himalaya naar India. Ik blogde al eens over het onderzoek van de Leidse onderzoekster Marike van Aerde, die zich bezighoudt met de rotstekeningen uit het gebied van de Boven-Indus. Niet iedereen nam de weg over de hoge bergen. De Chinese reiziger Xuan Zang reisde vanuit Xinjiang langs een noordelijkere en westelijker route, door de Ferganavallei, door Sogdië en Baktrië, over de Hindu Kush en door Gandara naar de Punjab.

U moet bij een pelgrim niet per se denken aan een arme sloeber die de hele reis wandelend aflegt. Ook rijke mensen maakten pelgrimages. Ook moet u niet denken aan een reis die alleen maar gericht was op het bereiken van een heiligdom, want wie het buitenland bezocht maakte zó veel mee dat het jammer zou zijn er niet ten volle profijt van te hebben. Xuan Zang was ambitieus: hij maakte zich zorgen over het feit dat er in China uiteenlopende visies waren op het boeddhisme, die volgens hem samenhingen met het feit dat de grondteksten verkeerd waren vertaald. Dus was één van de doelen van zijn reis het bemachtigen van de originele teksten. Zeventien jaar lang reisde hij van klooster naar stad naar klooster naar stad.

Sogdië

Hij vertrok in 627, ongeveer vijfentwintig jaar oud, in het volle bewustzijn dat zijn leven niet zelden in gevaar zou zijn.

Het doel van mijn reis was niet het verwerven van persoonlijke gunsten. Het was omdat ik bezorgd was omdat de boeddhistische leer in mijn land onvolmaakt was doordat de geschriften onvolledig waren. Omdat ik zo veel twijfels had, ging ik op zoek naar de waarheid, en dus besloot ik om met gevaar voor eigen leven naar het Westen te reizen om leerstellingen te zoeken waarvan ik nog nooit had gehoord, opdat de dauw van het Mahayana-boeddhisme niet alleen langs de Ganges verspreid zou zijn, maar dat de sublieme waarheid ook bekend zou zijn in het oostelijke land.

En al snel bleek hoe veel gevaar hij liep. Hij reisde langs de noordelijke rand van de  Taklamakanwoestijn, waar al die boeddhistische grotschilderingen zijn gevonden die u nu in Berlijn kunt zien. Al vóór Xuan Zang het westelijke Kashgar had bereikt, was zijn karavaan overvallen door rovers. Die kregen vervolgens ruzie over de buit, waardoor het reisgezelschap zélf ongehinderd verder kon. Via een vroeg Turks rijk bereikte hij Tasjkent, Samarkand, Buchara en uiteindelijk Balch, het toenmalige Baktra. Daarop volgde Bamiyan, dat u zich wellicht herinnert van de enorme Boeddhabeelden die de Taliban in 2001 hebben vernietigd.

Gandara

De volgende halteplaats was Kapisa, niet ver van het huidige Kaboel. Waren de boeddhisten die hij tot dan toe had leren kennen soms nogal laks in de juiste leer geweest, vanaf nu was Xuan Zang in gebieden waar ze de Mahayana-leer volgden, al woonden er ook hindoes (“ketters die naakt rond lopen en stof op hun lichamen smeren”). Diverse stupa’s in deze regio zouden zijn gebouwd door Ashoka, de grootste koning van het Maurya-rijk.

Hier, in Gandara, bezocht Xuan Zang de belangrijke steden Peshawar en Pushkalavati, en vervolgens trok hij naar de rivier de Swat. Hij behandelt hier legenden over hoe Boeddha hier een van zijn eerdere levens, toen hij nog een Bodhisattva was, heeft doorgebracht. Na de Indus te hebben overgestoken (“een rivier vol giftige draken en gevaarlijke beesten”), bereikte hij Taxila, waar hij verbleef in een klooster om teksten te kopiëren. Korte tijd later deed hij datzelfde in Kasjmir. Dit is belangrijk, want deze regio is niet veel later door de moslims overgenomen en de oudere hindoeïstische en boeddhistische tradities zijn verloren gegaan.

[Wordt morgen vervolgd]

Deze blog, die u ook via het Whatsapp-kanaal kunt volgen, is niet mijn enige activiteit. In het voorjaar organiseer ik een reis naar Bulgarije en een andere reis langs Keltische locaties.

#Bodhicitta, the "#awakening mind", is central to #Mahāyāna #Buddhism. It unites #compassion (#karuna) and #wisdom (#prajna), motivating practitioners to seek #enlightenment for all beings. Unlike conventional #ethics, bodhicitta is rooted in #interdependence and non-dual awareness, making Buddhist #altruism unique.

In #Mahāyāna #Buddhism the #bodhisattva ideal shifts the goal from personal liberation to universal #awakening. Liberation is not escape from #saṃsāra but compassionate return through #bodhicitta, where #wisdom (#prajna) and #compassion (#karuna) act together for all beings. In this post, I have composed a short overview of how the bodhisattva, from #philosophical foundations to #ethical significance, has shaped the trajectory of Mahāyāna practice:

#ZenBuddhism, rooted in #Mahāyāna #philosophy, emphasizes direct experiential insight over conceptual elaboration.

"The Awakening of Faith in the Mahāyāna" is a seminal East Asian Buddhist text, synthesizing Indian #Mahāyāna doctrines and #ChinesePhilosophy. Its teaching of the "#OneMind" with dual aspects — #suchness and arising-and-ceasing — offers a unique framework for reconciling emptiness and #BuddhaNature. Here, I sum up its origins, core teachings, and influence on East Asian Buddhism:

The #Prajñāpāramitā literature stands at the core of #Mahāyāna #Buddhism, introducing the radical doctrine of #emptiness (#śūnyatā) and redefining wisdom as direct, non-conceptual insight.

#Upaya, or "skilful means", is a core #Mahayana Buddhist concept emphasizing adaptive teaching tailored to individual needs. Rather than fixed doctrine, upaya legitimizes diverse methods and interpretations, prioritizing efficacy in guiding toward awakening over dogmatic consistency.

#WeekendStories #Buddhism

In #Mahāyāna #Buddhism, #BuddhaNature (#tathāgatagarbha) is not a hidden essence but the innate capacity for awakening present in all beings. It affirms the possibility of liberation without positing a permanent self. In this post, we examine how Buddha-Nature reflects the mind's potential to perceive reality as it is, free from delusion and clinging, and how it aligns with the process-based ontology of Buddhism.

#WeekendStories

#Tathatā, or "#suchness", is central in #Mahāyāna #Buddhism, denoting the direct, unmediated nature of reality beyond conceptualization and duality. It is not an essence but the immediate presence of phenomena, seen without judgment or projection. Realizing suchness is both ordinary and transformative in Buddhist practice.
