SynopsisThe induction of Dgen into the modern academic world, or perhaps more accurately, the academic world's first real engagement with Dgen came about 1924 when Watsuji Tetsur (1889-1960) published a provocative essay entitled "Shaman Dgen." It was this essay that to many of Watsuji's contemporaries seemed to rescue Dgen from what they considered to be his entrapment for nearly seven centuries in the sectarian embrace of the St school. Watsuji insisted that Dgen no longer should be thought of as belonging exclusively to the monastic community. Claiming, instead, that Dgen "belongs to mankind," Watsuji with this declaration initiated the non-sectarian study of this thirteenth-century figure and in effect commenced what are called Dgen Studies [Dagen kenkyii] in modern times. As one way of exploring what it might possibly mean to say that Dgen "belongs to mankind," the Kuroda Institute held a conference on Dgen at Tassajara Springs, California from October 8 to 10, 1981. The essays of this volume are a part of its result., The induction of Dgen into the modern academic world, or per-haps more accurately, the academic world's first real engagement with Dgen came about 1924 when Watsuji Tetsur (1889-1960) published a provocative essay entitled "Shaman Dgen."
