| | Dogen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Dōgen Zenji (道元禅師; January 19, 1200 - September 22, 1253) was a Japanese Zen Buddhist teacher and founder of the Soto school of Zen in Japan. | | | While it was customary for Buddhist works to be written in Chinese, Dogen often wrote in Japanese, conveying the essence of his Zen thought in a style that was at once concise, compelling, and inspiring. | | | Dogen came from a noble family and he quickly learned the meaning of the word "mujo" (impermanence). |

| | Dogen also asserted that "all existence is the Buddha Mind' and made this the ground of all being and all value. | | | To Dogen, "to be able to say" and "not to be able to say" are self-identical, as are "to be able to explain" and "not to be able to explain." Knowledge and faith, therefore, do not differ essentially from philosophy and religion. | | | Therefore, Dogen says: "Although birth and death are the transmigration of the unenlightened, the Buddha is free from all this." For those who have control over them, birth and death are not things to be feared and avoided. |

| | Forum: Understanding Dogen |
| | Dogen’s rise to stardom may be partly a function of the spread of his school in America, but his reputation as a Buddhist author goes beyond his status as founder of the Japanese Soto Zen tradition. | | | Dogen’s practice is counterintuitive to how a lot of Buddhists usually think, whereby meditation and practice are seen as a means to future enlightenment and the achievement of a goal. | | | Dogen (1200-1253), though the son of a prominent aristocratic family, seems to have been something of an outsider in Japanese Buddhist circles, and his Soto school, though highly popular in the countryside, played relatively little role in the development of medieval Zen culture. |

| | Following this, Azegami Baisen Zenji of Daihonzan Sojiji Temple and Takiya Takushu Zenji of Daihonzan Eiheiji Temple made revisions and promulgated this text as the standard for popularization of the teaching of the Soto Zen Buddhist School. | | | This mind of Dogen Zenji was then passed on to his successors: Koun Ejo Zenji, the second patriarch of Daihonzan Eiheji, and Tettsu Gikai Zenji who founded Daijoji Temple in Kaga. | | | The central tenets of Chinese Soto were that all beings are born with Buddha nature and are consequently and essentially enlightened, that one can enjoy fully the bliss of Buddha nature through the practice of Zazen, that practice and enlightenment are the same, and that this practice must be internalized and carried to everyday life. |

| | The path of no-path: `Sa^nkara and Dogen on the paradox of practice |
| | In the Shobogenzo, Dogen tirelessly emphasizes this point, "As for the Buddha Way, when one first arouses the thought (of enlightenment, which initiates one's practice), it is enlightenment, when one first achieves perfect enlightenment, it is enlightenment. | | | Dogen seems equally austere, but nevertheless closer to us, for he, like Śākyamuni Buddha, sought many years before he forgot himself and his bodymind "fell away." Consequently, we find no disparagement of practice in Dogen. | | | Dogen, arguing that zazen is enlightenment, prefers the second. |

| | On The Life of Dogen Zenji |
| | Before Master Dogen there was no true practice of Zazen in Japan, therefore Master Dogen believed that he was the only person to bring true Buddhism to Japan. | | | But Master Dogen noticed that if we make our efforts in studying Buddhism for fame or for profit we can never arrive at the truth, because if we study Buddhism to get fame or to get economic profit, our Buddhist efforts can never be begun. | | | He noticed that Buddhism is not only theory, but that Buddhist philosophy emerged from the practice of Zazen, therefore without practicing Zazen there is no true Buddhism. |

| | Dogen Zenji said in Bendowa, "Even if only one person sits for a short time, because this zazen is one with all existence and completely permeates all time, it performs everlasting buddha guidance within the inexhaustible dharma world in the past, present, and future." We cannot separate. | | | So Dogen left the Tendai School and started to practice Zen when he was seventeen years old at Kennin-ji with Eisai's disciple Myozen. | | | However, in the oldest commentary of Dogen Zenji's Shobogenzo made by his direct disciple Senne, the word "koan" is interpreted with the kanji (shows character). |

| | Dogen Zenji introduced this practice, this meditation practice in his work Fukanzazengi — The Universal Principles of Zazen and in this he clearly points out that Zen practice includes the three aspects of precepts, meditation, and wisdom, they are not separate or linear, one doesn’t lead to the other they are a totality. | | | Dogen Zenji calls this the practice of enlightenment so from the beginning you have to put your own feet in the shoes of the Buddha. | | | What I am pointing out is the kind of understanding that we need to have in meditation practice in Zen, especially in Dogen Zen. |

| | Hence, Dogen would not want to say that he is describing "Zen consciousness" or "Enlightened consciousness" to the exclusion of "ordinary consciousness." Fundamentally, our experience as experienced is not different from the Zen master's. | | | Even Dogen Zenji himself, as we have seen, disciplined himself in Koan Zen for eight years before going to China and practicing Shikantaza. | | | Also distinctive of Dogen's account of Shikantaza is that it is the practice of "without thinking" (hishiryo): which is also called no-mind (mushin; wu-hsin), the essence of Zen Enlightenment. |

Leider konnte keiner seiner Lehrer diese Frage beantworten, und so beschloss Dogen den Tempel zu verlassen, um einen wahren Meister zu finden. | | | Als Dogen Meister Eizai die selbe Frage wie seinen Tendai-Lehrern stellte, antwortete dieser, "Ich weiss nicht, ob die Buddhas der Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Zukunft wirklich existieren, aber ich weiss, dass es Katzen und weise Ochsen gibt."
