Eihei Dōgen, the 13th century founder of Sōtō Zen in Japan, is known for his profound and difficult texts on practice. Shōbōgenzō Uji (True Dharma Eye, Being-Time) is Dōgen's teaching on spiritual development as the intimate non-sequential emersion in reality's 'just this.' This radical understanding of each moment's existence as being-time is the basis of practice as realization. Approaching the text in a systematic way, this program will explore how we can cultivate a better understanding of Dōgen's Way in modern life through talks and group discussion. The aim of this exploration is to bring Dogen's transformative wisdom into our own life and practice.
