Manifesting Suchness with Dogen Zenji

With Guest Teacher Dokai Ron Georgesen

Dokai Ron Georgesen

In this workshop we will examine and reflect together on the fascicle from the Shobogenzo by Eihei Dogen, “Inmo” or “Such.” We will use the translation by Gudo Nishijima and Chodo Cross.

In this fascicle, Dogen leaves no activity, mental or physical, left unincorporated into the practice of full realization (“Such”) as he presents his own unique, poetic version of this practice. Dogen admonishes us to find our own authentic questions, to use everything, including our doubts, answers, voice and body to create and express the immediate sound and form of Shakyamuni him/herself at this immediate moment.
