AB - This article seeks to clarify the hua-t’ou method as a way of engaged Buddhism with reference to the gongan (kōan) of Baizhang’s meeting with a wild fox (百丈野狐) from the perspective of critical Buddhism by surveying the necessity of engaged Buddhism in the modern world, the critique of Zen thought from the perspective of critical Buddhism as a movement of engaged Buddhism, critical Buddhists’ understanding of causality through the gongan of Baizhang’s meeting with a wild fox, and lastly the possible ripostes toward critical Buddhists. As modern society with its increasing structural crisis makes it impossible to solve its own problems through individual awakenings, engaged Buddhism appears to be an alternative movement necessary to cope with those problems. Critical Buddhism is noteworthy as a movement of engaged Buddhism with its critique of social discrimination and collective egoism which might be traced back to the ideology of Zen thoughts. Hua-t’ou as a balance to rational thinking, however, should be understood positively in its more profound and diverse hermeneutic dimensions as is noted by Sallie B. King, Peter N. Gregory, and Stuart Lachs.
