This book features a discussion of truth as nonfoundational through the perspective of Zen Buddhism. Zen Buddhism in particular criticizes foundational truth as it interprets the doctrine of dependent coarising, the Buddha's core teaching, in a radically nondualistic way. In addressing the truth as nonfoundational according to Zen, I will introduce the doctrine of dependent coarising and emptiness, discuss the way in which the concept of emptiness lead to the split between the gradual and sudden schools of Zen, with a focus on the function of encounter dialogue as it evolved from the legitimization of the sudden tradition, and conclude by addressing the nonteleological aspects of Zen, pointing out that truth asserted as nonfoundational maintains that truth is a ceaseless creative process. As the tradition of Zen has recently become largely popularized, this work will offer the reader a historical background of the tradition, as well as provide those interested with an intellectual insight into the practice of Zen.
