Truly inspiring for one seeking the Way and looking to walk the path of the BuddhaDharma.21 of 25 people found the following review helpful. A Bit Too NegativeBy MGood not great. I wanted to really like this book. And I do like a lot of the ideas. But I think the collection of quotes and commentary could have been stronger and a touch more practically oriented. It feels like too many pages are spend on negative comments, denigrating people who don't follow The Way. And while it makes sense why they feel such people are not following The Way, and perhaps they're even right, still, such negativity doesn't really seem in the Zen spirit being helpful to those who may not have found their way yet. Abandon your treasured delusions and hit the road with one of the most important Zen masters of twentieth-century Japan.Eschewing the entrapments of vanity, power, and money, "Homeless" Kodo Sawaki Roshi refused to accept a permanent position as a temple abbot, despite repeated offers. Instead, he lived a traveling, "homeless" life, going from temple to temple, student to student, teaching and instructing and never allowing himself to stray from his chosen path. He is responsible for making Soto Zen available to the common people outside of monasteries. His teachings are short, sharp, and powerful. Always clear, often funny, and sometimes uncomfortably close to home, they jolt us into awakening. Kosho Uchiyama expands and explains his teacher's wisdom with his commentary. Trained in Western philosophy, he draws parallels between Zen teachings and the Bible, Descartes, and Pascal. Shohaku Okumura has also added his own commentary, grounding his teachers’ power and sagacity for the contemporary, Western practitioner. Experience the timeless, practical wisdom of three generations of Zen masters. "Sawaki Roshi's profound and simple Dharma expression comes from the depth of his empty, open heart, like the light of the sun or the flow of a river, pure and unhindered, touching and awakening that same place in ourselves." (Mel Weitsman, founder of Berkeley Zen Center)"Provides pure, rich examples of living the Buddha Way by three renowned contemporary Zen practitioners. Filled with glimpses into their daily lives, it is replete with teachings that directly point to letting go of confusion and wholeheartedly living our actual lives." (Steve Hagen, author of Buddhism Plain Simple)"Clear and conversational. The variety among the three voices encourages the emergence of a fourth: yours, as you browse and come back again and again." (Jisho Warner, founder of Stone Creek Zen Center)"A wonderful opportunity to catch a glimpse of a vibrant lineage in action and an invaluable contribution to all schools of meditative living." (Larry Rosenberg, author of Breath by Breath)"Kodo Sawaki was straight-to-the-point, irreverent, and deeply insightful—and one of the most influential Zen teachers for us in the West. Until now it has been very hard to find any of his writings in English. I'm very happy to see this book." (Brad Warner, author of Hardcore Zen)"Studying this book is a rare chance to sit with three Zen masters as they bring forth the Dharma with their unique family style—compassionate, blunt, humorous, wholehearted—each one devotedly helping the other and helping us to wake up." (Eijun Linda Ruth Cutts, Central Abbess, San Francisco Zen Center)"Shohaku Okumura is a true treasure for contemporary American Zen, humbly but clearly expressing this noble legacy." (Taigen Dan Leighton, author of Zen Questions)About the AuthorKosho Uchiyama was born in Tokyo in 1912. He received a master's degree in Western philosophy at Waseda University in 1937 and became a Zen priest three years later under Kodo Sawaki Roshi. Upon Sawaki's death in 1965, he became abbot of Antaiji, a temple and monastery then located on the outskirts of Kyoto. Uchiyama Roshi developed the practice at Antaiji and traveled extensively throughout Japan, lecturing and leading sesshins. He retired from Antaiji in 1975 and lived with his wife at Noke-in, a small temple outside Kyoto, where he continued to write, publish, and meet with the many people who found their way to his door, until his death in 1999. He wrote over twenty books on Zen, including translations of Dogen Zenji in modern Japanese with commentaries, as are various shorter essays. His Opening the Hand of Thought: Foundations of Zen Buddhist Practice is available in English from Wisdom Publications. He was an origami master as well as a Zen master and published several books on origami. Shohaku Okumura is a Soto Zen priest and Dharma successor of Kosho Uchiyama Roshi. He is a graduate of Komazawa University and has practiced in Japan at Antaiji, Zuioji, and the Kyoto Soto Zen Center, and in Massachusetts at the Pioneer Valley Zendo. He is the former director of the Soto Zen Buddhism International Center in San Francisco. His previously published books of translation include Uchiyama Roshi's Opening the Hand of Thought, as well as Dogen's Extensive Record: A Translation of the Eihei Koroku, with Taigen Dan Leighton. He is the author of Living by Vow: A Practical Introduction to Eight Essential Zen Chants and Texts and Realizing Genjokoan: The Key to Dogen's Shobogenzo. He is the founding teacher of the Sanshin Zen Community, based in Bloomington, Indiana, where he lives with his family.

He left us very gently and calmly. And he left Zen Center very carefully, teaching us in everything he did.

  • Opening the Hand of Thought : Approach To
    TRANSLATED BY SHOHAKl AND TOM WRIGHT ARKANA OPENING THE HAND OF THOUGHT Kosho Uchiyama Roshi was born in Tokyo in 1911. He received a master's degree in Western philosophy at Waseda University in 1937 and became a Zen priest three years later under Kodo Sawaki Roshi. Upon Sawaki Roshi's death in 1965, he assumed the abbotship of Antaiji, a temple and monastery then located near Kyoto. Uchiyama Roshi developed the practice at Anataiji, including monthly five-day sesshins, and often traveled throughout Japan, lec- turing and leading sesshins. He retired from Antaiji in 1975 and now lives with his wife at N6ke-in, a small temple outside Kyoto. He has written over twenty texts on Zen, including translations of Dogen Zenji into modern Japanese with commentaries, one of which is available in English (Refining Your Life, Tokyo: Weatherhill, 1983). Uchiyama Roshi is also well known in the world of origami, of which he is a master; he has published several books on origami. Shohaku Okumura was born in Osaka, Japan, in 1948. He studied Zen Buddhism at Komazawa University in Tokyo and was ordained as a priest by Uchiyama Roshi in 1970, practicing under him at An- taiji. From 1975 to 1982 he practiced at the Pioneer Valley Zendo in Massachusetts. After he returned to Japan, he began translating Dogen Zenji's and Uchiyama Roshi's writings into English with Tom Wright and other American practitioners. From 1984 to 1992 Rev. Okumura led practice at Shorinji, near Kyoto, as a teacher of the Kyoto Soto Zen Center, working mainly with Westerners.

    Who? What? Where? When? Why? Uncovering the Mysteries of Monastery Objects by Ven. Shikai Zuiko o-sensei Zenga by Ven. Anzan Hoshin roshi Photographs by Ven. Shikai Zuiko o-sensei and Nathan Fushin Comeau Article 1: Guan Yin Rupa As you enter the front door of the Monastery you may have noticed a white porcelain figure nearly two feet tall standing on the shelf to the left. Who is she? Guan Yin, Gwaneum, Kanzeon, are some of the names she holds from Chinese, Korean, and Japanese roots. The object is called a "rupa" in Sanskrit, which means "form" and in this case a statue that has the form of a representation of a quality which humans hold dear: compassion. I bought this 20th century rupa shortly after we established a small temple, Zazen-ji, on Somerset West. This particular representation bears a definite resemblance to Ming dynasty presentations of "One Who Hears the Cries of the World". Guan Yin, Gwaneum, Kanzeon seems to have sprung from the Indian representation of the qualities of compassion and warmth portrayed under another name; Avalokitesvara. The name means "looking down on and hearing the sounds of lamentation". Some say that Guan Yin is the female version of Avalokitesvara. Some say that Guan Yin or, in Japan, Kannon or Kanzeon, and Avalokitesvara are the same and the differences in appearance are the visibles expression of different influences from different cultures and different Buddhist schools, and perhaps even the influence of Christianity's madonna. Extensive background information is available in books and on the web for those interested students.

  • Daruma Memorial (Darumaki) by Issho Fujita
    Sermons October - Daruma Memorial (Darumaki) by Issho Fujita In the Sotoshu tradition, we commemorate the Daruma Memorial on October 5th. Daruma is a Japanese name for the famous Indian monk Bodhidharma who lived during the 5th/6th century A.D. The accounts of his life are largely legendary (see Comics "Bodhidharma" 1-12 at Sotozen-net International website) but according to Denkoroku (The Record of Transmitting the Light) written by Keizan Zenji, he was born as the third son of the king of Koshi in southern India. He became a monk and practiced under the guidance of Venerable Hannyatara(Prajnatara). He is considered to be the 28th Indian Buddhist teacher in a direct line from Gautama Buddha, and also regarded as the first master in Chinese Zen tradition. Following the instruction of his Master to transmit Dharma to China, Bodhidharma traveled east to Southern China in 526 A.D. In Shobogenzo Gyoji (Continuous Practice) Part Two, Dogen Zenji wrote about his journey to China as follows. How severe the wind and snow was throughout his three-year journey! How innumerable the waves of the ocean, under clouds and mist, as he sailed toward an unknown country! This journey is beyond the imagination of those attached to body and life. This continuous practice is due solely to his great compassionate determination to transmit dharma and to save deluded beings I vividly remember what my grandfather master, the late Kosho Uchiyama Roshi, said to me when I visited him right before departing for the USA to live at Pioneer Valley Zendo, a small zendo in Massachusetts, as a resident teacher.

  • My Zazen Sankyu (San = to Participate Humbly; Kyu = to Inquire Or Explore)
    My Zazen Sankyu (san = to participate humbly; kyu = to inquire or explore) Rev. Issho Fujita, Valley Zendo, Massachusetts with assistance from Tansetz Shibata and Tesshin Brooks Notebook (3) Fragmentary Thought X <“Means to Sweep” and “Wandering Here and There to Practice”> “Fukanzazengi” (“The Way of Zazen Recommended to Everyone”) of Dogen Zenji says “The Whole Being (reality as a whole) is free from all dusts (delusion). Why should we believe in the means to sweep them away? We are never separate from the great capital. Why should we wander here and there to practice.” I think that this paragraph is presenting a criterion to distinguish zazen from shamata/vipasyana practices. Let me translate this passage into a modern expression of what I believe Dogen Zenji meant. “Zazen far transcends all dusts (defilement/delusion), because it is not a personal practice, but the practice of the whole universe (whole being). Since we sit at the place which transcends relative differences such as purity vs. impurity, there is no need to rely on a gradual method (with levels, phases, steps and so on) to sweep and purify it. Zazen, as sat in the great capital where all the virtues are perfectly accomplished, is sufficiently fulfilled as it is at each moment and at each place. Therefore, there is no need to fix it with tricks, and there is no point in wandering here and there searching outside for something missing.” In other words, from the viewpoint of zazen, both shamata and vipasyana practices are just the “means to sweep” and “wandering here and there”, and we should not apply them to zazen.
