June 2018 Zazenkai Talk (Dogen's Dharma Hall Discourses - Part V)

We will finish this series of talks on a text by Dogen which is not so commonly the topic of Dharma Talks, but which contains a detailed record of Dogen's own lessons and interactions with his Teacher in China, Master Tiāntóng Rújìng (天童如淨; Japanese: Tendō Nyōjo). Dogen was then a young student who went to travel (by boat, across deadly seas, not airliner) seeking an answer to many questions. Further reading and discussion for this talk are available on the Treeleaf forum: June 1st-2nd, 2018 - OUR MONTHLY 4-hour ZAZENKAI! »
