i did finish reading the entire shobogenzo by dogen in 2024, so that’s something I enjoyed about the calendar year we just threw away….

almost eleven months chipping away but it was mind changing!

A monk asked Zen Master Chosa, “How can we own the mountains, rivers, and Earth?” The Master replied, “How can we belong to them?”

Zen teaches we are one with nature, free from ownership or clinging. 🙏🙏

buddhist freedom, otoh, is more focused on freedom from "the mind of excess" (dogo, shobogenzo)

this warrants some careful explanation!!!

the mind of excess, concisely, is the mind that wants more than what is rn

this is easy to conflate w/victim blaming, so i need to really clarify around that

This book has been a bugger to get a hold of for ages, but finally - success!

Do any of my #haiku friends here have some familiarity with Shobogenzo? I've written a haiku commentary to one of the fascicles.

If you don't, could you please repost? Thx!
