  • Bendōwa is Dogen's earliest known writing in Japanese and one of his most important and influential works. Ji juyū zanmai can be translated loosely as "samādhi of self-fulfillment and enjoyment" or literally as the "samādhi of receiving and using the self." Kosho Uchiyama comments, ". . . we can understand this samādhi of self-fulfillment and enjoyment as the samādhi or concentration on the self when it simply receives and accepts its function, or its spiritual position in the world."

    I love all your videos, it is really helpful. Although it is not ultimate solution, i used to belive it but now I think there is no ultimate liberation from live and more subtle way of life provides only healthy mind. I once thought there are doors to heaven.
