Thread: Dogen's Four Basic Teachings

    Dogen's Four Basic Teachings

    Hi all

    I greatly enjoyed this teaching from Taigen Dan Leighton in which he lays out what he thinks are the four basic teachings from Dogen Zenji:

    http://audio.ancientdragon.org/20100..._teachings.mp3

    For anyone wanting a heads-up beforehand, the four are:

    1. Dropping off body and mind (shinjin datsuraku)
    2. No separation of practice and enlightenment
    3. Going beyond buddha
    4. Sustainable practice

    Has anyone near Chicago been to his practice center?

    I am afraid that the Cubs might learn a lesson in impermanence in the end, as they are down 3-2 in the series. Oh, alas, it is but their Team Karma.
