- 소개/요약Zen made its official debut in America during the World's Parliament of Religions in 1893. Americans began to practice Zen after the 1960s; before then, they usually obtained the knowledge of Zen through D. T. Suzuki's Zen books. At present in America there are all types of Asia-derived Zen including those of Japan and Korea. These various lineages of Asian Zen continued to be under the constant influence of Protestantism and have assimilated to American culture and history while passing through the Hippie Counter Culture and Feminist Movements of the 60s. As American sex culture of freedom and license in the 60s and 70s changed to that of a conservative attitude in the 80s, a series of sex scandals involving Zen masters unfolded and brought major Buddhist meditation centers to a crisis. Such a crisis caused a strong opposition to master's abuses of authority; accordingly, major meditation centers started to undertake a series of reforms which limit the power and authority of their masters. Such reforms increasingly brought about the secularization of American Zen practice and a weakened sense of Zen purpose. In fact, American practitioners used to be faithful to their meditative purpose to reach liberation from suffering through spiritual enlightenment. Furthermore, Zen in America witnessed its expansion to everyday lives, spreading more deeply to the public in general. European Americans usually participate in three types of Buddhist meditation such as Zen, Tibetan meditation, and Vipassana (Insight Meditation). They personally take part in these practices to find peace of mind, by and large. Asian immigrants, however, practice ethnic Buddhism to promote their communal spirit and religious faith. Despite differences in origin, these three types of Buddhist meditation share the same objective of seeking liberation from suffering in life.
