Description
Summary:Antinomian transgressions have played an important role in Chinese Chan Buddhism (and to a lesser extent in Japanese Zen Buddhism). Wild, crazy, fierce and strange figures have, together with 'the enlightened layman', been used as expressions of the Chan/Zen universe, whose style is quite unique in the history of religions. The present article investigates these transgressions' hermeneutic and performative logic as a contrast to the 'religion of order' which is also represented by Buddhism. I argue that in both phenomenological and historical perspective these are expressions of post-axial religion.
Antinomiske overskridelser har spillet en væsentlig rolle i kinesisk chan-buddhisme (og i mindre udstrækning i japansk zen-buddhisme). Vilde, skøre, voldsomme og sære figurer har sammen med den 'ordinære lægmand' været brugt til udtryk for chan/zen-buddhismens univers, hvis stil er ganske unik i hele religionshistorien. Nærværende artikel undersøger disse overskridelsers hermeneutiske og performative logik som kontrast til den 'ordensreligion', buddhismen også repræsenterer. Jeg argumenterer for, at disse både i religionsfænomenologisk og -historisk perspektiv er udtryk for post-aksial religion.
