SUMMARY:Four Fabulous Dogen Fascicles\, Online 4/15–5/6
DESCRIPTION:The Zoom link to participate in this event will be provided at least 24 hours before it begins. Please call 415-354-0360 if you have any questions. \n\nFour Thursdays\, April 15–May 6\, 6:00–7:30 pm PT \nSoon after returning to Japan from China in 1227\, Eihei Dogen entered an extraordinary period of teaching and writing. \nIn this four-week course\, John Kirk Phillips and Steve Given will explore four fascicles from Dogen’s Shobogenzo that have continued to inform and enrich Soto Zen practice for centuries: “Bendowa” (On the Endeavor of the Way)\, “Zenki” (Undivided Activity)\, “Genjokoan” (Actualizing the Fundamental Point)\, and “Shoji” (Birth and Death). \nTogether\, these four texts form a deliberate arc. The course begins with “Bendowa” and Dogen’s teaching of practice-realization: zazen not as a means to enlightenment later\, but as the expression of awakening itself. From there\, “Zenki” opens into the “whole works” of self\, world\, activity\, and circumstances functioning together. “Genjokoan” then deepens the inquiry into self and world\, delusion and enlightenment\, and practice and realization\, before “Shoji” brings these teachings into intimate contact with birth and death. \nEach session will combine zazen\, reading and chanting from the featured fascicle\, teaching and commentary\, and small-group discussion. Participants will have the opportunity to engage Dogen’s language directly\, explore multiple English translations\, and consider how these teachings illuminate the practice of Zen in everyday life. \nReading materials will be provided. No prior study of Dogen or the Shobogenzo is required. Both newer and experienced practitioners are welcome. \nIf you would like optional reading references for your own discovery\, the following texts will be used to support the course. \nShobogenzo Translations \n\nMaster Dogen’s Shobogenzo\, Book 1 translated by Gudo Wafu Nishijima and Chodo Cross.\nShobogenzo: The Treasure House of the Eye of the True Teaching\, A Trainee’s Translation of Great Master\nDogen’s Spiritual Masterpiece translated by Hubert Nearman.\nTreasury of the True Dharma Eye: Zen Master Dogen’s Shobo Genzo (2012) Edited by Kazuaki Tanahashi.\nDogen’s Genjo Koan: Three Commentaries. Berkeley\, Counterpoint by Mel Weitsman et. al.\n\nRecordings:All course sessions will be recorded\, and registered participants will receive temporary access to the recordings for later viewing.
