- An alternative translation (and a more poetic one I find) of the Genjo Koan - translated by Bob Myers as "Truth Unfolding." The text/essay with commentary by Myers can be found here: terebess.hu/zen/dogen/FirstDo...
Genjōkōan (現成公按) sometimes translated as Actualizing the Fundamental Point is an influential essay written by Dōgen, the founder of Zen Buddhism's Sōtō school in Japan. It is considered one of the most popular essays in Shōbōgenzō. Dōgen Zenji (19 January 1200 - 22 September 1253), also was a Japanese Buddhist priest, writer, poet, philosopher, and founder of the Sōtō school of Zen in Japan.
Music: Midori Takada - "Through the Looking Glass"
Takashi Kokubo - "Oasis of the Wind Forest"
Satashi Ashikawa - "Still Space"

Thank you Forever Samaneri
Thank you so very much for recording Dogen Zenji. I hope you will record more from Shobogenzo and that will give me the opportunity to listen and learn.
I want to thank you so much for your page
This was wonderful thank you. Blessed be.peace
Just like a down feather from a bird gently falling from the sky...these words will be grasped by a few. Zen mind.
And fewer still who let it go after grasping
Quick, let's put this fire out with some more fire.
So?
Who is reading this
weeeeeee 😂
🙏🏻🪷 Grateful and happy to be a Buddhist. Rare to be born human…May all beings be happy and at peace. 🪷🙏🏻 Nikko
This is a beautiful recording.
The art of allowing everything to be without conflict leading to integration.
When I hear your voice I hear it through my hearing consciousness. When I read the words I read them through my reading consciousness. Somehow, my listening consciousness is heard in my heart whereas my reading conscioousness is in my head. For me, right now, this changes everything. I sit here and listen to an ancient Zen master - an unbelievable privilege. Thank you so much!
Wonderful articulation of this mysterious process and differences Neil. I can totally relate.
Truth unfolding, Bodhichitta
Thank you so so much
Hearing 2 different translations definitely improves understanding, brilliant! Thx.
Great voice performance.

Thank you, master. I have some advice. If your goal is to benefit humanity, consider removing all ads. If your motivation is financial, you might opt to place ads everywhere. If your aim encompasses both, perhaps consider eliminating mid-roll ads.
Ads have nothing to do with me as my channel is not monetized so I make no revenue from advertising or anything. CZcams puts them on when I might have used copyrighted music to pay revenue for the musicians. You can always pay CZcams premium to go ad free or instal an ad blocker on your device.
Yess sure. thankyou for explanation. Your work is the most valuable thing a human can do. I really appreciate. thank you so much.
No entiendo nada
perfect 🤭
The innate qualities of buddhas light sheds the essence
I used ro think the Buddha was some guy in asia 😂, now i don't think..
Its amazing that the Buddha is mind, and that mind is the Dharma
Yet mind isnt mind 🌞
Try to explain that to your wife 😂
Brilliant! There are some really weird sutras aren’t there!? The weirdest was one where a monk commits suicide at the point of enlightenment. Godlika? Very unusual.
