The treasure trove of the real Dharma eye) is the title most commonly used for a collection of works written in Japanese by a Japanese Buddhist monk from the 13th century. Eihei Dōgen. There are several other works with the same title (see above) and sometimes called Kana Shōbōgenzō to make it different from those. The term shōbōgenzō can also generally be used as a synonym for Buddha Dharma viewed from the perspective of Mahayan Buddhism. The source of the title Shōbōgenzō as a general term in Mahayana Buddism the term True Dharma Eye Treasury (Japanese: Shōbōgenzō) refers in general to Buddha Dharma, and in Zen Buddhism refers in particular to the realization of buddha's awakening, which is not contained in the written words of the sutra. Generally Buddhist use, the term Treasuries of Dharma refers to the written words of buddha's teaching collected in Sutri as the middle of the Three Treasures of Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. In Zen, however, the true treasure of Dharma cannot be found in the books, but in its own Buddha nature and the ability to see this correct view (the first of the noble eightfold paths) of the treasure of Dharma is called the Treasure of the Correct Eye of Dharma. In the legends of zen tradition, Shōbōgenzō was committed from teacher to student who goes all the way to Buddha when he passed Shobogenzo to his disciple Mahākāśyapi, thus beginning the zen fracture that Bodhidharma brought to China. The legend of the transfer of Shōbōgenzō mahākāśyapa is found in several Zen texts and is one of the most exp sure legends in all the records of Zen. Among the known koan collections appears as case 6 in Wumenguan (Checkpoint without doors) and case 2 in Denkorok (Transfer of Light). In the legend of how it is told in Wumenguan, buddha holds a flower and no one in the assembly answers except Arya Kashyape who gives a wide smile and smiles a little. Seeing Mahākāśyapin smile buddha said, I possess a treasure trove of the correct Dharma eye, the beautiful mind of the Heart of Nirvane, the unsolvable true shape, the subtle Dharma gate, which are not established in written words, transferred separately beyond learning. I surrender him and entrust these reassuring words to Kashyapi. Dahui's Shōbōgenzō and Dōgen's Shinji Shōbōgenzō Dahui Zonggao, a well-known 12th-century preservative in Song Dynasty China, have written a collection of kōans with the Chinese title Zhengfa Yanzang (⼤⼤眼藏). In Japanese, it reads like Shōbōgenzō, using the same kanji for its title as Dōgen's later work. When Dōgen visited China in 1223, he first studied under Wuji Lepai, a Dahui student, where he probably first came into contact with Dahui's Zhengf Yanzang. In his book Dogen's Zen Meditation Manuals, contemporary scientist Carl Bielefeldt acknowledges that Dōgen probably took the title from Dahui for his own collection of kōan, now known as Shinji Shōbōgenzō. He later reused the same title for what is now his most famous work, Kana Shōbōgenzō (now almost always called simply Shōbōgenzō): Indeed the fact that Dōgen stylized his efforts Shōbō genzō suggests that he had as his model a a compilation of the same title of the most famous Sung master, Ta-Hui Tsung-as [Dahui Zonggao]. Unlike the latter, Dōgen was content here only by recording stories without intertwining his own remarks. However, a few years later he embarked on a major project to develop extended comments on many of these and other passages from Ch'an literature. The fruit of this project was his masterpiece - an extraordinary collection of essays known as henna, or vernacular, Shōbō genzō. [1] The compilation Shōbōgenzō Various constituent texts – called fascicles – Kana Shōbōgenzō were written between 1231 and 1235. Unlike most Zen records originating in Japan at the time, including Dōgen's Shinji Shōbōgenzō and Eihei Koroku, which were written in classical Chinese, Kana Shōbōgenzō was written in Japanese. The essays in Shōbōgenzō were held as sermons in a less formal style than the Chinese language sermons by Eihei Koroku. Some of the fascila was recorded by Dōgen, while others were recorded by his disciples. Throughout his life, Dōgen has remodeled the order of folders that make up Shōbōgenzō several times, and edited the contents of individual folders. After his death, various editors added and removed fascicles to make different versions of Shōbōgenzō. In premodern times there were four major versions consisting of 60, 75, 12 and 28 folders, with the version of 60 folders the earliest, and 28 fascicle versions the latest. The first two were arranged by Dōgen himself, with a version of 75 folders that contained several folders that had been edited from an earlier version of 60 folders. There are several copies of the 60 and 75 folders, including one containing Dōgen's manuscript and the manuscript of his disciple, Koun Ejō. On the other hand, the version of 12 folders, also known as the Yōkōji manuscript after the temple in which it was found in 1936, is known from only two examples, one copied in 1420 and the other from 1446. This version contains 5 fascicles not found in older versions, including the only surviving manuscript of Ippyakuhachi Hōmyō Mon'.

The story is about water and the people in Hell Although they have water, the people in hell cannot drink it because the water burns like fire or it looks like blood, so they cannot drink it.

  • Just This Is It: Dongshan and the Practice of Suchness / Taigen Dan Leighton
    “What a delight to have this thorough, wise, and deep work on the teaching of Zen Master Dongshan from the pen of Taigen Dan Leighton! As always, he relates his discussion of traditional Zen materials to contemporary social, ecological, and political issues, bringing up, among many others, Jack London, Lewis Carroll, echinoderms, and, of course, his beloved Bob Dylan. This is a must-have book for all serious students of Zen. It is an education in itself.” —Norman Fischer, author of Training in Compassion: Zen Teachings on the Practice of Lojong “A masterful exposition of the life and teachings of Chinese Chan master Dongshan, the ninth century founder of the Caodong school, later transmitted by Dōgen to Japan as the Sōtō sect. Leighton carefully examines in ways that are true to the traditional sources yet have a distinctively contemporary flavor a variety of material attributed to Dongshan. Leighton is masterful in weaving together specific approaches evoked through stories about and sayings by Dongshan to create a powerful and inspiring religious vision that is useful for students and researchers as well as practitioners of Zen. Through his thoughtful reflections, Leighton brings to light the panoramic approach to kōans characteristic of this lineage, including the works of Dōgen. This book also serves as a significant contribution to Dōgen studies, brilliantly explicating his views throughout.” —Steven Heine, author of Did Dōgen Go to China? What He Wrote and When He Wrote It “In his wonderful new book, Just This Is It, Buddhist scholar and teacher Taigen Dan Leighton launches a fresh inquiry into the Zen teachings of Dongshan, drawing new relevance from these ancient tales.

  • Deepest Practice, Deepest Wisdom
    “A magnificent gift for anyone interested in the deep, clear waters of Zen—its great foundational master coupled with one of its finest modern voices.” —JISHO WARNER, former president of the Soto Zen Buddhist Association FAMOUSLY INSIGHTFUL AND FAMOUSLY COMPLEX, Eihei Dōgen’s writings have been studied and puzzled over for hundreds of years. In Deepest Practice, Deepest Wisdom, Kshō Uchiyama, beloved twentieth-century Zen teacher, addresses himself head-on to unpacking Dōgen’s wisdom from three fascicles (or chapters) of his monumental Shōbōgenzō for a modern audience. The fascicles presented here from Shōbōgenzō, or Treasury of the True Dharma Eye, include “Shoaku Makusa” or “Refraining from Evil,” “Maka Hannya Haramitsu” or “Practicing Deepest Wisdom,” and “Uji” or “Living Time.” Daitsū Tom Wright and Shōhaku Okumura lovingly translate Dōgen’s penetrating words and Uchiyama’s thoughtful commentary on each piece. At turns poetic and funny, always insightful, this is Zen wisdom for the ages. KŌSHŌ UCHIYAMA was a preeminent Japanese Zen master instrumental in bringing Zen to America. The author of over twenty books, including Opening the Hand of Thought and The Zen Teaching of Homeless Kodo, he died in 1998. Contents Introduction by Tom Wright Part I. Practicing Deepest Wisdom 1.

  • Pratica E Illuminazione in Dôgen
    ALDO TOLLINI Pratica e illuminazione in Dôgen Traduzione di alcuni capitoli dello Shôbôgenzô PARTE PRIMA INTRODUZIONE A DÔGEN La vita e le opere di Dôgen Dôgen fu uno dei più originali pensatori e dei più importanti riformatori religiosi giapponesi. Conosciuto col nome religioso di Dôgen Kigen o Eihei Dôgen, nel 1227 fondò la scuola Sôtô Zen, una delle più importanti e diffuse scuole buddhiste giapponesi che ancora oggi conta moltissimi seguaci. Fondò il monastero di Eiheiji nella prefettura di Fukui e scrisse lo Shôbôgenzô (1231/1253, il "Tesoro dell’occhio della vera legge"), diventato un classico della tradizione buddhista giapponese. Pur vivendo nel mezzo della confusione della prima parte dell’era Kamakura (1185-1333) egli perseguì con grande determinazione e profondità l’esperienza religiosa buddhista. Nacque a Kyoto da nobile famiglia, forse figlio di Koga Michichika (1149-1202) una figura di primo piano nell'ambito della corte. Rimase orfano da bambino facendo diretta esperienza della realtà dell’impermanenza, che diventerà un concetto chiave del suo pensiero. Entrò nella vita monastica come monaco Tendai nell’Enryakuji sul monte Hiei nei pressi della capitale nel 1213. Dôgen era molto perplesso di fronte al fatto che sebbene l’uomo sia dotato della natura-di-Buddha, debba ugualmente impegnarsi nella disciplina e nella pratica e ricercare l’illuminazione. Con i suoi dubbi irrisolti e colpito dal lassismo dei costumi dei monaci del monte Hiei, Dôgen nel 1214 andò in cerca del maestro Kôin a Onjôji (Miidera) il centro Tendai rivale nella provincia di Ômi. Kôin mandò Dôgen da Eisai, il fondatore della scuola Rinzai e sebbene non sia certo se Dôgen riuscisse a incontrarlo fu molto influenzato da lui.

    Introduction Shunryu Suzuki Sojun Mel Weitsman INTHE SUMMER OF 1970 Suzuki Roshi gave these talks on the Sandokai of Sekito Kisen. BRANCHING Suzuki Roshi had come to America in 1959, leaving Rinso-in, his tem­ STREAMS ple in Yaizu, Japan, to serve as FLOW IN THE priest for the Japanese-American congregation at Sokoji temple at DARKNESS 1881 Bush Street in San Francisco. During those years a large number of people came to practice with him, and San Francisco Zen Center Zen Talks on the Sandokai was born. Suzuki Roshi became By tht author of Z~n Mind. Beginne~s Mind surrounded by so many enthusias- tic American Zen students that in 1969 he and his students moved to a large building at 300 Page Street and established Beginner's Mind Temple. Two years earlier, Zen Center had acquired the Tassajara resort and hot springs, which is at the end of a four­ teen-mile dirt road that winds through the rugged mountains of the Los Padres National Forest near the central coast of California. He and his stu­ dents created the first Zen Buddhist monastery in America, Zenshinji (Zen Mind/Heart Te mple). We were starting from scratch under Suzuki Roshi's guidance. Each year Tassajara Zen Mountain Center has two intensive practice­ period retreats: October through December, and January through March. These two practice periods include many hours of zazen (cross-legged seated meditation) each day, lectures, study, and physical work. The students are there for the entire time. In the spring and summer months (May through August), Tassajara provides a guest season for people who are attracted by the hot mineral baths and the quiet atmosphere.

  • Kindness and Compassion Practice in Buddhist and Secular Contexts
    Confluence: Adoption and Adaptation of Loving- Kindness and Compassion Practice in Buddhist and Secular Contexts Dawn P. Neal Graduate Student Graduate Theological Union 法鼓佛學學報第 16 期 頁 95-121（民國 104 年），新北市：法鼓文理學院 Dharma Drum Journal of Buddhist Studies, no. 16, pp. 95-121 (2015) New Taipei City: Dharma Drum Institute of Liberal Arts ISSN: 1996-8000 Abstract Contemporary Buddhists are adapting loving-kindness and compassion praxis. Using three vignettes, the author explores how the distinct practices of loving-kindness and compassion are being appropriated and altered both in Buddhist religious traditions, and in secular environments. This discussion examines the adaptation process from two perspectives. First, this article explores how three teachers, North American, Taiwanese, and Tibetan-North American respectively, adapt loving-kindness and compassion practices, and what purposes these adaptations serve in their contexts. Second, the author highlights some textual sources the teachers use when adapting or secularizing loving-kindness and compassion practices. Primary focus is on the Mettā Sutta and the Visuddhimagga, perhaps the most influential Theravāda compendium in contemporary Buddhism. The phrases and categories of loving-kindness praxis in the Visuddhimagga now appear nearly verbatim in teachings of secular compassion practice. This cross-fertilization occurs directly between Buddhist traditions as well. In the American example of Sojun Mel Weitsman, a foundational influence on modern Sōtō Zen Buddhism as developed at the Berkeley and San Francisco Zen centers, Weitsman presents his adaptation of the Mettā Sutta in response to his community’s request for greater address given to love and compassion. In Taiwan, Ven. Bhikṣuṇī Zinai of the eclectically influenced Luminary International Buddhist Society incorporates adaptation of both the Visuddhimagga and Mettā Sutta in a secular Compassionate Prenatal Education program, which addresses the needs of expectant mothers using loving-kindness practice.
