Hello Dr. Almaas. I just want to say, as a Soto Zen teacher who stumbled on your talk about Dogen, that it is truly wonderful, in my heart. I have recommended your talk to a few folks. To my ear, it insightful, very well studied and a deeply wise interpretation of Dogen. I actually wrote a book about reading Dogen awhile back and, if I had heard your talk first, I might have borrowed some of your insights for the book. :-) Thank you. Jundo Cohen, Treeleaf Sangha

Hello Trealeaf, It is wonderful that you, as a Zen teacher, found this talk insightful. I have studied Dogen for many years, and have found his teachings to be full of jewels of illumination. the interesting thing is that many spiritual traditions and teachers have no idea of the kind of realization and insight into reality that Dogen taught. This is one reason I gave this talk to public audiences, hoping that some will find in Dogen insights that resonate with them.

I came across Dogen through Heidegger. For me it's really along journey with plenty of joy and wisdom to understand what Dogen saying, by practicing spirituality. So for me to experience Dogen's idea of Time being is a philosophical and spiritual journey. Thank you so much for the wonderful explanation.

I think there is confusion between Dogen and awakening. Many take zen from the point of view of simplicity, in fact too simplistic. One thing to remember is Dogen was well versed in the Dharma before he traveled to China. He knew the Buddha's teachings very well. So when you hear, just sit. That's it, just sit. Well you can just sit for a trillion life times and you still won't awaken. You need to also have a broad knowledge of the Dharma or just sitting won't do anything..
