To really understand and fully embrace this point is to live in a radically different world--a world of awakening, inclusion, and love. Zen Master Dogen frames the teaching on impermanence explicitly as a teaching about time--and all of Dogen's profoundly poetic teachings flow from his seminal understanding of time, as expressed in Uji (Being-Time), the famous--and famously difficult--essay in his masterwork, Shobogenzo. In Uji, Dogen teaches that time itself, being itself, is luminous awakening. It is all-inclusive, all-elusive, ultimately healing, and eternal. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In this book, Shinshu Roberts does full justice, as does no other book I know of, to Dogen's words. She offers interpretation of Uji only after careful consideration and marshaling of many sources--and offers simple everyday examples to illustrate points that seem at first abstruse. If this text causes you to doubt your most cherished concepts about your life, it will have done its work.\u003cbr\u003e --from the Foreword by Norman Fischer \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBeing-Time\u003c\/i\u003e thoroughly explores Dogen's teaching on how we practice as Buddhas by understanding the relationship between being and time as it is--and as we perceive it to be. Using Dogen's Shobogenzo Uji (The True Dharma Eye, Being-Time), Shinshu Roberts offers a twofold analysis of this teaching: the meaning of the text and practice with the text, giving examples how we apply Dogen's complex teaching to our daily lives.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49515687969041,"sku":"GOR010834037","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49735283704081,"sku":"NGR9781614291138","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49958892077329,"sku":"CIN1614291136VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50874486751505,"sku":"CIN1614291136G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51140386193681,"sku":"NIN9781614291138","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52391400309009,"sku":"GOR010143339","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1614291136.jpg?v=1751447325"},{"product_id":"meeting-the-myriad-things-book-shinshu-roberts-9781645472728","title":"Meeting the Myriad Things","description":"\u003cb\u003eA guide to awakening buddha mind for the contemporary Zen practitioner.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In the words of Eihei Dogen, the thirteenth-century Buddhist monk who introduced the Soto school of Zen to Japan, \"To study the Buddha way is to study the self. To study the self is to forget the self. To forget the self is to be actualized by myriad things.\" Centuries later, these enigmatic words from his seminal \"Genjokoan\" (\u003ci\u003eActualizing the Fundamental Point\u003c\/i\u003e) are still studied in Zen communities the world over.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e But what did Dogen really mean when he encouraged studying the self to forget the self? In this clarifying new commentary, esteemed Zen teacher Shinshu Roberts takes readers on a journey to understand Japan's great Buddhist philosopher. Roberts applies her deep familiarity with Dogen's work to illuminate the text as a unified story in which Dogen reveals the nondual nature of reality.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In addition to a full translation of Dogen's \"Genjokoan,\" this book includes the commentary \u003ci\u003eOkikigakisho\u003c\/i\u003e (\"Notes of What Was Heard and Extracted\"), written by two of Dogen's direct students-the first time an English translation of this highly influential work has appeared in print.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51345446043921,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51345446240529,"sku":"NGR9781645472728","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52582283444497,"sku":"NIN9781645472728","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1645472728.jpg?v=1769687738"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-shinshu-roberts.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
