“The Way is originally perfect and all-pervading. How could it be contingent upon practice and realization” ~Eihei Dogen
This provocative statement opens Fukanzazengi [Universal Promotion of the Principles of Zazen], Dogen Zenji’s first communication written upon his return to Japan from China in 1227. This brief document provides a concise and comprehensive set of instructions for Zen meditation that ties together underlying Buddhist principles with sitting practice.
Come join Seiso Paul Cooper, Sensei for an on-line, two-session mini-course that will include a close reading of this important text with practical implications derived from the Wheel of Life & Death for refined and deepened practice of shikantaza (only sitting, just sitting) both on and off the cushion.
