Life

Dōgen (1200–1253) founded the Sōtō Zen school in Japan. His Shōbōgenzō fascicles—available in selections such as Moon in a Dewdrop—are central published sources for zazen, time and Buddha-nature in Japanese Buddhist literature. ORDL lists him as a literature card. This page does not replace a teacher or monastery schedule.

The system

  • Zazen and “just sitting” in literary fascicles
  • Being-time and Buddha-nature as philosophical prose
  • ORDL boundary: texts—not a substitute for 真人师父

Key works

  • Shōbōgenzō (selected translations) Amazon
  • Moon in a Dewdrop (Tanahashi et al.)
  • Eihei Kōroku

Where to start

  • Use annotated selections before attempting the whole Shōbōgenzō
  • Read with Sōtō institutional histories

What happens to “practice-enlightenment” when Dōgen is read only in paperback selections?
