I love Daido ... He was my first influence in zen... I never went to visit mount tremper, so I never met him. 📻 I was actually reading a book of his Dharma talks, earlier today🙏 he said, THIS is how you attain freedom in this life.... By manifesting it.
I am sad not to have met him also. Amazing man.
I was about to read Genjokoan and by chance found this reading of it. Gasho with deep gratitude! 💖
Daido Loori Roshi's reading is a gift to us all 🙏
I listen to this at least once a month. Thank you for posting.
I am grateful that Zen Mountain Monastery allowed me to upload it here for people to listen to.
Daido Loori Roshi is very easy to listen to.
My first teacher. He affectionately rang his bell and threw me out of dokusan immediately after I opened my mouth the first three times. Still teaching me from the grave to this day.
That's funny! I am so glad you got to meet and practice with him, and grateful to ZMM for letting me use this clip. He is still teaching us all 🙏
An astounding, unkown, piece of world literature 🙏❤
In his book "The True Dharma Eye, Zen Master Dogen's 300 Koans", Page 1, John leaves Dogen's comment "Through direct transmission I have received it more than 2180 years later.
Dogen was born 1763 years after the Buddha and attained enlightenment at age 25. So Dogen received transmission 1783 years later. It is a small point. But it could have warranted a comment.
always extraordinary
There is something amazingly about Genjokoan. I don't pretend to understand it. But something rings true about it.
The SFZC and Kazuaki Tanahashi have done a great job translating Dogen's body of work.
Yes, it is a beautiful piece. Shohaku Okumura's book Realizing Genjokoan is a great guide.
@@zenaudio108 I have Shohaku Okamura's book "Realizing Genjokoan." I just reopened it. Thanks.
PS do they still have their radio?? It seems to have disappeared.
I don't know but you can sign up for their podcast. Shugen Arnold gives excellent talks, as does Zuisei. The podcast archive is here: zmm.org/media/
Gassho , thank you 😃
