“…there are mountains hidden in jewels; there are mountains hidden in marshes, mountains hidden in the sky; there are mountains hidden in mountains.
There is a study of mountains hidden in hiddenness.”
—from Dōgen, The Mountains and Waters Sutra (Sansui kyō; tr. Shōhaku Okumura)

#Dōgen Zenji (1200–1253) revolutionized #Japanese #Zen by emphasizing #shikantaza ("just sitting") and the inseparability of #practice and #enlightenment. His #philosophical depth, especially in works like #Shōbōgenzō, shaped #SōtōZen and continues to influence global Buddhist thought. Here is a brief overview of his life and teachings:

Soto Zen – Heart Sutra / 曹洞宗大本山總持寺 – 般若波羅蜜多心經 – Buddhism Toronto Chanting
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=De15EaR_irk
Das Herz-Sutra ist ein berühmtes Sutra im Mahāyāna-Buddhismus. Das Herz-Sutra wird oft als die bekannteste und beliebteste buddhistische Schrift überhaupt zitiert. Das Herz-Sutra, das zusammen mit dem Diamant-Sutra zur Kategorie der Vollkommenheit der Weisheit (Prajñāpāramitā) der Literatur des Mahāyāna-Buddhismus gehört, ist vielleicht der prominenteste Vertreter dieses Genres.
In der chinesischen Version des kurzen Textes, der Xuanzang zugeschrieben wird, hat er 260 chinesische Zeichen. Im Englischen besteht er aus sechzehn Sätzen. Damit ist er einer der kürzesten Texte der Gattung „Vollkommene Weisheit“.
Soto-Zen (曹洞宗) ist die größte der drei traditionellen Zen-Sekten des japanischen Buddhismus. Die japanische Variante der Sekte wurde im 13. Jahrhundert von Dogen Zenji eingeführt, der den Caodong-Buddhismus (曹洞宗) im Ausland in China studierte. Das Soto-Zen ist inzwischen auch im Westen populär, und 1996 gründeten Priester der Soto-Zen-Tradition die Soto Zen Buddhist Association mit Sitz in Nordamerika. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf Shikantaza, der Meditation ohne Objekte, Verankerungen oder Inhalte.
Der Meditierende strebt danach, sich des Gedankenstroms bewusst zu sein und ihm zu erlauben, ohne Einmischung zu entstehen und zu vergehen.

Sind hier #Dogen Nerds? Weiß jemand in welchem Kapitel von #Shobogenzo sowas steht wie „Es (DasUniversum/DieRealität/Gott/Alles halt) bewegt ein bisschen dich und du bewegst ein bisschen Es“?
Sehr plump ausgedrückt, zugegeben. #buddhismus #zen #soto #sotozen #buddhism

Btw, I’m looking to follow a few more folks who practice #ZenBuddhism.
I’m a #SotoZen newbie & just attended my first sesshin. I’d like to expand my understanding & see how other folks interpret or explore their practices! Disabled ppl especially!
I combine my dharmic studies with science/skeptic based nature witchiness. (I’m also curious about I Ching & Chinese 5 Element studies, since I deeply relate to Tarot & 4 element witchcraft.)

I consider myself to be a #Buddhist philosophy-influenced #Atheist. I love #ZenBuddhism, and #SotoZen is kind of my practice.
But I hail from a family with many Muslims, and today is Eid, which means my face is stuffed with food, and I'm gasping for air.
Nom nom. I love all holidays than include food. God is fantastic when that idea gathers us like this.
