Shobogenzo.pdfThe Shobogenzo 2225 viewsA new translation of a Zen classic. The ShÅbÅgenzÅ is the recognized spiritual masterpiece by the thirteenth century Japanese SÅtÅ Zen Master Eihei DÅgen. It is comprised of discourses that he gave to his disciples, in person or in writing, at various times between 1231 and his death twenty-two years later at age fifty-three. These discourses cover a wide range of topics pertinent to those in monastic life though often also relevant to those training in lay life. He discusses matters of daily behaviour and religious ceremonial as well as issues involving the Master-disciple relationship. He also explores the deeper meaning that informs the so-called Zen kÅan stories, which often puzzle readers by their seeming illogicality and contrary nature. (1 votes)

beingssutra.pdfThe Sutra on the Eight Realizations3998 views"The content of The Sutra on the Eight Realizations is grounded in both Mahayana and Theravada viewpoints. Please treasure this Sutra. When I was seventeen, and in my first year of novice studies at a Buddhist Monastery, I had to study and memorize it. This enabled me to easily combine the meaning of the Sutra with meditation of breath counting. From this period until now, 44 years have passed and this Sutra is still an invaluable torch lighting my path. Today I have the opportunity to present it to you. I am grateful to this deep and miraculous Sutra. I join my hands and respectfully recite, "Homage to the precious Sutra on the Eight Realizations." (3 votes)
