	( Dogen Zenji - Zen - Zazen, Soto-Zen, Japan And Israel)
		Dogen freed himself from the illusion of the ego, the result of dualistic thinking and he experienced deeply the bliss of Buddhist truth.
		In Dogen's view it is precisely because we are now in the period of decline that we must make unrelenting efforts to live in the spirit of the Buddha and to grasp the essence of Buddhism directly.
		Dogen strongly rejected the one-sided sectarian Buddhism that ignores the mainstream and clings to trivia.

	Dogen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dogen's father died when Dogen was 3 years old, and his mother when he was 8, which strongly impressed Dogen with the Buddhist notion of impermanence (Japanese: 無常 mujō).
		Dogen's masterpiece is the Shōbōgenzō ("Treasury of the True Dharma Eye"), talks and writings—collected together in 95 fascicles—on topics ranging from monastic practice to the philosophy of language, being, and time.
		Together, Dogen and Keizan are regarded as the founders of the Soto school.

	DOGEN ZENJI
		Dogen was the founder of the Soto (T'sao Dong Ch'an) Lineage of Buddhism in Japan.
		Dogen finally studied with Eisai, a Rinzai master, who told him it was a delusion to think in such dualistic terms as Buddha Nature.
		Dogen's Soto school taught that sitting in Zazen was entering the flow of each moment by dropping from the mind the concepts of past, present, and future.

	Translating Dogen
		Since Dogen is the founder of Soto, and his Shobogenzo is the most important scripture of the school, this felt need for an official version is easy to understand.
		It's probably something Dogen could do better, and was tempted to do more, than the Chinese because he was reading their texts through the eyes of a Japanese student of the language, for whom the words "stood out," as it were, in ways they would not for the native reader.
		We tend to treat Dogen as a wise Zen master, not a wise guy, as a master of Zen, not a Japanese student of Chinese language.

		Japanese Soto Zen Shu Buddhism and Dogen Zenji Sama
		Dogen Zenji Sama entered Nirvana on a late summer day on the 22nd September 1253, at the age of 53, and his ashes are enshrined in the Eiheiji-tempel.
		Based on Dogen’s writings, it is only a proven historical fact that Dogen respected Eisai’s work very much, and that Dogen was a student under Master Myozen, one of Eisai’s disciples.

	On The Life of Dogen Zenji
		Master Dogen was born in Japan in the year 1200 and died in 1253.
		For the first two years in China Master Dogen visited many Chinese temples, but those temples all belonged to the Rinzai sect so the training in those temples was almost the same as the training at Kennin temple.
		Master Dogen also felt that this master may be the master which he had been looking for, for such a long time.

	A Life of Dogen by Jack Hosho Maguire, MRO
		Dogen was familiar with Lin-chi koan study, since it was one of several practices conducted in the eclectic Tendai school of Japan.
		Along with Dogen’s enlightenment came the answer to the question that had tormented him for so long: It is only the dropping away of body and mind, achieved through rigorous zazen practice, that allows one to realize and therefore express wholeheartedly and singlemindedly his or her essential Buddha nature.
		Dogen soon understood, however, that the worldliness of Kennin-ji and Kyoto in general was not conducive to the kind of intensive return-to-basics that he envisioned.

	SOME PROBLEMS IN INTERPRETATION: THE EARLY AND LATE WRITINGS OF DOGEN
		It may be that Dogen's originality lies in his radical transformation of the language of the old-paradigm koan within the living context of the realization-koan [genjo koan].(92) Koans are notorious for not lending themselves to precise interpretation.
		Dogen does not attempt in either the seventy-five-fascicle edition or the twelve-fascicle edition of the Shobogenzo to construct a concrete metaphysical explanation of the nature and structure of karma or cause and effect (inga).
		Although Dogen criticizes various contemporary "single practices," such as nembutsu, his activities in the establishment of his first temple, the Kosho-ji, his numerous vinaya (temple and monk rules), and his lifelong commitment to the way of the sa^mgha clearly illustrate his commitment to the full range of traditional Buddhist practice.

	Dogen's Reflecting Pool
		Dogen does not deny this fact, but he takes it one step further and attempts to frame distinctions not as hindrances, but as paths and indications of an underlying emptiness to everything.
		Dogen believes that all illuminating distinctions depend on two facets, such as light and dark, being and non-being, and trees and leaves.
		Dogen teaches that compassion, Enlightenment and deeper understanding of the twofold truth stem from realizing the pervasive emptiness that encompasses all distinctions and dichotomies.

	Forum: Understanding Dogen
		Dogen’s rise to stardom may be partly a function of the spread of his school in America, but his reputation as a Buddhist author goes beyond his status as founder of the Japanese Soto Zen tradition.
		Dogen (1200-1253), though the son of a prominent aristocratic family, seems to have been something of an outsider in Japanese Buddhist circles, and his Soto school, though highly popular in the countryside, played relatively little role in the development of medieval Zen culture.
		Dogen’s practice is counterintuitive to how a lot of Buddhists usually think, whereby meditation and practice are seen as a means to future enlightenment and the achievement of a goal.

		But in the case of Master Dogen, who has clearly grasped the Buddhist philosophy, which is based on the real philosophy of act, actually noticed that the real life of Buddhist practitioners are just the persuing act itself at the present moment of daily life.
		And Master Dogen clearly noticed such a fact, which he proclaimed that Buddhist practice must be just the efforts to pursue the truth in their daily life.
		Master Dogen proclaimed that, generally speaking, human beings believe they are living usually in an adequate situation, and so to them it seems to be unnecessary to pursue the truth relying upon practice and experience.

		In this chapter Master Dogen preached to us that the value of a being must be decided according to whether or not it has got the truth.
		In this chapter Master Dogen quoted Master Seppo Gison's words "When a foreigner comes in front of the mirror, the mirror reflects the foreigner." From these words we can understand the eternal mirror as a symbol of some human mental faculty.
		Master Dogen took the middle way on the problem: rather than deny the value of reading sutras, he said that reading sutras is one way of finding out what Buddhist practice is.
